Wurkkos TS28

Name: Wurkkos TS28
Brand: Wurkkos
Price: 35 USD
Availability: InStock

Wurkkos doing what Wurkkos does: 3,200 lumens and 500 metres of reach with a 5,000mAh 21700 in the box, for about fifty dollars. Smooth or stepped ramping from the side e-switch, with a magnetic tailcap for hands-free work. Colour rendering is ordinary, which is the trade for an SFT-70's throw — buy it for reach per pound, not for tint.

Beam profile

Thrower, about 14° wide. Reach first: a small hotspot that puts light a long way out.

Estimated from 3,200 lm ÷ 64,000 cd — how this works

What owners report

Wurkkos TS28/3 sources reviewed

Wurkkos doing what Wurkkos does: 3,200 lumens and 506 metres of reach from a Luminus SFT-70 Gen2, with a 5,000mAh 21700 in the box, for around $50. Independent measurement came in above the claim — 3,397 lumens peak and 70,428 candela against 64,000 stated, giving 531 m of measured throw. Smooth or stepped ramping runs from the side e-switch, and it's IP68 with 1.6 m of drop protection.

The compromise is the usual one for a thrower emitter: measured CRI sits around 63 to 66 and colour temperature between 5,700 and 6,400K, so colours look flat. Independent runtime testing also came in under the claim — 2 hours 28 minutes on turbo against a stated 3 hours 27. The warranty is one year with a 30-day return window. Buy it for reach per pound, not for tint.

Questions people ask

Does it beat its specifications?: On output and throw, yes — measured 3,397 lumens and 531 m against claims of 3,200 and 506. On runtime it falls short, at 2h28m on turbo against a stated 3h27m.
How is the tint?: Cool and low-CRI, measured around 63 to 66 at 5,700 to 6,400K. That's the standard trade for an SFT-70's throw — the emitter that reaches this far can't render colour well.
Is it worth $50?: For reach per pound it's among the best value on this site, with the cell included. If you want colour accuracy, spend the same money on a high-CRI light with less throw.
TS28 or Sofirn IF22A?: Both are budget SFT-40/70 throwers around the same money. The TS28 has more output; the IF22A is smaller with a better-regarded interface.
