What owners report
Wurkkos TS10
- ✓Full Anduril 2 in a keychain-sized light, which nothing else offered at this price
- ✓Aux LEDs make it findable in a dark room and are a genuine daily convenience
- ✓High-CRI Nichia 519A triple with a wide, pleasant beam for close work
- ✓Remarkable turbo output for the size, from a single 14500
- ✓Exposed programming pads make reflashing firmware straightforward
- ✓Cheap enough that most owners end up with more than one
- ✗Early firmware had a low-voltage-protection bug that could over-discharge the cell with aux LEDs on
- ✗The pocket clip is widely described as the weak point — a parts-bin component
- ✗Almost no thermal mass: high and turbo heat up fast and step down quickly
- ✗Runtime at usable levels is short, as any 14500 light's is
- ✗Anduril is a lot of interface for a light this size if you just want on and off
- ✗Don't confuse it with the TS10 Max (18650), which has a notably worse reliability record
Olight i3T EOS
- ✓Genuinely disappears in a pocket — light enough to forget
- ✓Runs on AAA cells you can buy anywhere
- ✓Excellent tail switch with a clean action
- ✓Moonlight mode low enough to preserve dark adaptation
- ✓Among the brightest dedicated AAA lights, with a durable aluminium body
- ✗Cool white with no high-CRI option
- ✗No lithium-ion support and AAA cells don't last long
- ✗No keyring attachment on the light — you have to use the clip
- ✗Can't tailstand because the switch protrudes
- ✗No lockout at all; unscrewing the tailcap doesn't disable it
