Wurkkos HD20
- ✓High-CRI neutral flood emitter alongside a dedicated spot
- ✓USB-C PD charging, and it works as a power bank for a phone
- ✓Excellent runtime and sustained performance on high from the 21700

- ✓Flood beam is well judged for close-range work
- ✗The largest headlamp most reviewers have handled — bulky on the head
- ✗Switching between emitters fails around half the time
- ✗The head strap is noticeably lower quality than the light
- ✗The XP-L HD spot emitter under-throws for the format at 141 m
- ✗UI niggles, including losing moonlight when you switch emitters
