In this video, I review and compare the Wurkkos TD01C with the TD01. Wurrkos has added a buck driver, which greatly improves output after step down.

Wurkkos TD01C - Better than the TD01?
General thoughts after a week of usage/size comparison/practicality/interesting things:
• So the TD01C the superior to the TD01, and I'll share with you why in this video. It wasn't long ago that I reviewed the Wurkkos TD01 and one of the issues brought up by a few people was the lack of regulation. However, Wurkkos has a great reputation for taking on feedback from the flashlight community and has come up with its answer in the TD01C. Wurkkos provided me a sample of the TD01C for the purposes of this review.
• Comparison with the TD01 - no cosmetic differences, besides the addition of a buck driver.
• You get everything you need in the box - a 21700 battery, charging cable, and lanyard.
Overall Construction, LED, lens, bezel and reflector
• Feels very solid and good quality machining, especially for this price point. I'm used to that slippery/shiny finish that you see with most Wurkkos lights, but here, they've opted for a matt black, chalky finish. It feels a lot grippier and I feel confident holding the light without a lanyard. Some versions of the previous TD01 had a glossier finish. The machining on the battery tube is deep and adds significant grip too. The balancing point is just below the button - this makes the light balanced when holding in tactical or normal orientation.
• The tailswitch sticks out slightly, unable to tailstand. Large, single button made of rubber. The side switch is made of aluminum and also functions as a battery indicator.
• Bezel is 58mm in diameter. Mine is glued down. It's good to see Wurkkos include a protective glass lens in front of the TIR lens. I have some other higher-priced flashlights that leave this out. SFT40 - perfect for a host of this size, however, I could see someone swapping in an Osram W2 for extra range. Would be cool to see an SBT90.2 or HP70.3HI version of this light.
UI - modes
• Two Uis. Press and hold the side switch for 3 seconds to switch between tactical and lighting modes.
• Shortcut to moonlight - press and hold the side switch while activating the tail switch. This is a proper ML mode - an additional mode that the original TD01 did not have.
• Triple click for strobe, double click for beacon, SOS.
Performance - total output, beam profile, longevity, practicality
• CCT, CRI, Ceiling bounce test
• Intense hotspot with generous spill at the higher modes. There's not much still on the lower modes with any TIR lens flashlight.
Considerations
• Not pocketable - but that's what you get if you want extra throw.
• There is a slight delay in activating momentary mode - this is definitely a mechanical and not an e-switch, but it appears that the activation point of the switch is further down. It's not very noticeable - maybe a 1-200ms delay. Can be tricky to activate strobe.
Verdict
• The tactical features along with the 1KM throw is something you don't see in many budget flashlights. I was a fan of the first one but the addition of a buck driver extends the brightness of this light significantly after stepdown which is a crucial feature in a long-range flashlight for maximum visibility.

Love your reviews. I said it before but it's great to see the different flashlights perform in the same area from the same spot from video to video. Also you push the runtimes with visuals and not just graphs. The effort you put in is evident and appreciated. You're at the top of the list. Hope your channel grows so you can have oodles to review lol and mostly hope you enjoy it and it's worth it. ✌️
Thanks heaps mate. I put a lot of work into these videos and I'm always trying to improve them so if you have any suggestions I'm always keen to hear. There's lots of competition on RUclips with these videos but less with flashlights, though I want to branch out to other tech as well. I appreciate your support.
@@DarrenYeoYT well since you asked. Your videos end rather abruptly. A final thoughts piece would be great. Even though you may cover everything throughout the review, I think it would help you to structure it more that way. Perhaps you could add structure without increasing your work load...maybe hold back a nugget(s) of information for final thoughts. Just my two cents...you do great work as is...those endings are just a little abrupt..even if it's not final thoughts, maybe a fade and logo or something. Again the effort and execution are appreciated. ✌️
Thanks man, I'll think how I can do this, maybe a more in depth conclusion or my personal recommendation ! @@66marbor
Great video, man! All the info I needed, I really appreciate the time and effort that went into this high quality production.
Much appreciated! Thank you mate, I put a huge amount of time into these videos.
my Wurkkos TD01C came in today and tried it out for a while, very nice update to the TD01 I have
Yeah big improvment... Finally some sustained output
Thank you for this review. Just ordered TD01C.
TD01 is my favourite looking light and I would love to see Wurkkos offering it in silver color. Now when Convoy L21A is no more available in silver.
Shorter and not so smushy tailswitch would also be nice.
Waiting for the first CULPM1 in TD01C.
Oh yeah, a CULPM1.F1 would be awesome.
Thanks for your support man
Hi, which throws further and last longer between convoy c8+ W5050sq3 and td01c?
TD01C - but only by 100m more max
@@DarrenYeoYT ok thank you
what to replace c8l ,tat crazy thing can hold turbo 2400lm like 3-4min stepdown n u click it back on .... no more fet driver lights , turd just gets dimmer n dimmer ! gtfo ! fav is the buck sp35t xhp50,2 ,wont get hot, just used mid, unless u goes crazt on turbo, lights up everything ! seems like td01c less spill but the light saber is nuts or ts23, hardware is great but ts23 firmware is fkup turbo drops to 2500 after 30sec .. big $$$ but its ok , wait for big sale for shopee/lazada coupon, i think i get c8l at 11-120 during sale
so this is basically an acebeam L19 2.0 competitor. i love bigger corona's on throwy TIRs.
Yep basically but 1/3 the price!
How does it compare to sofirn sf26?
I don't have the SF26 but it looks like the new driver in this TD01 performs better (steps down to higher point) and sustained output on high. The SF26 has some cool features like the dual tail switch and unscrewable bezel to access the charging port. They both throw around the same distance. For now, I'd get the TD01 due to better performance unless Sofirn upgrade their driver.
Im praying they upgrade the driver in the TS30S Pro
Every $$ counts with companies that operate in that price range. They did it with the TD01C though for a slightly increased price. For higher output lights, probably costs a lot more.
@@DarrenYeoYT I would happily pay another $5 - $10 more for a TS30 Pro+ that ran for longer at high brightness
Yeah I think most enthusiasts would :D general consumers don't know or care @@Andrew_Thrift
How does it compare to Sofirn IF22A?
Way better. It's brighter, longer range and has a regulated driver. But it's also significantly larger.
@@DarrenYeoYT Thank you, for quick reply. Now I am considering to buy either TD01C or Convoy L7 (SBT90.2 LED) 😍
You want something that's gonna blow your mind ? Get the L7/L8 😂 but they are large lights. Could get both. @@yonwu9079
@@DarrenYeoYT Ok, L7 it is. Thanks Darren 👍😉
Downsides is built in chaging port and UI, Sofirn C8F UI would be much better on td01c, my opinion.
Have to check that one out. I haven't heard of it before
You have to remember $40. The UI is excellent for the price lol
why did wurkkos even make the td01 to begin with. this makes it completely useless.
Yeah there's no reason to buy the original model now.
@@DarrenYeoYT now all we need is a temperature regulated ts25
