Wurkkos HD10
A $20 Anduril headlamp the size of your thumb. The HD10 runs a high CRI triple on a 14500 cell with onboard USB-C, RGB aux LEDs, and a magnetic tail — basically a mini Anduril right-angle for the price of lunch. Note: 14500 Li-ion only, no AA support.
Beam profile
Flood, about 35° wide. Wide and even — light where you are, not where you're pointing.

What owners report
Wurkkos HD10/4 sources reviewed
Essentially a TS10 bent through ninety degrees: a 14500 right-angle light with Anduril 2, USB-C charging and a magnet, often available around $20. Reviewers rate it highly for close work — the low-level beam pattern is excellent, output below level five is properly regulated, and lower modes run six to eight hours without visibly dimming. As a reading headlamp it's described as superb, laying smooth even light across a page.
Where it falls down is at the top end and outdoors. None of the modes meet their published runtime specs, and the highest levels don't hit their output claims either. The magnet is weak. Reviewers are explicit about the recommendation: excellent for close-up work, around the house and in a workshop; look elsewhere if the main use is outdoors.
Consistently praised
- Excellent close-range beam pattern — described as superb for reading
- Regulated output at level five and below, holding steady for 6-8 hours
- Anduril 2 on a 14500 right-angle light at around $20
- USB-C charging and a very light, compact format
- Good output and runtime for the cell size at usable levels
Common complaints
- None of the modes meet their published runtime specs
- Highest levels fall short of their output claims
- The magnet is weak
- Reviewers specifically advise against it for outdoor use
- 14500 runtime is inherently short at higher levels
Questions people ask
- What is it best at?
- Close work. Reading, working under a sink, anything within arm's reach — the low-level beam is even and the regulated output holds for hours. That's the use reviewers recommend it for without reservation.
- Why not outdoors?
- The high modes don't reach their claims and don't last, and the beam isn't built for distance. For a trail headlamp the HD15 or a dedicated outdoor light is a better choice.
- How weak is the magnet?
- Weak enough that reviewers mention it as a fault. It'll hold on a horizontal steel surface but don't rely on it sideways or overhead.
- Is it the same as a TS10?
- Very similar internals and cell, in a 90-degree body. If you want the same light as a straight torch, the TS10 is the one.
