Summary

You are looking for an inexpensive and small thrower for your pocket? With Anduril and fancy aux LEDs? Then try out the Wurkkos TS11!

The Wurkkos TS11 is a fantastic, small pocket thrower that can easily keep up with larger flashlights such as the Sofirn IF22A in terms of range and brightness. Anduril offers many functions and can be updated and extended with some experience. On the other hand, this complexity can easily be overwhelming. (Wurkkos has just released the TS11S, which is the same flashlight, but with a simper user interface.)

There's a small issue with some orange in the spill, but you can either use the black version or apply my modification with aluminum tape. Apart from that the TS11 is exactly what I expected.

Any idea how difficult an emitter swap would be? Might be nice to try a cyan emitter.

I wonder if IF22S is different hardware. It would make sense to just reconfigure Anduril.

My review includes a photo of the disassembled head. It's an easy reflow.

The IF22A has a completely different driver.

Thanks, and (edited) oops, I meant TS11S not IF21S. Still different driver?

I don't have one, but I'm pretty sure it has a different driver. Never seen a Chinese flashlight engineer using an AVR microcontroller for their work.
