Indeed, if you want RGB with more power than just aux LEDs, it might be a good choice (althout RGB has just two brightness levels). It's also a great high CRI + UV candidate (alternatively you could consider a dual channel Emisar D4v2 with 519A and UV).
Wurkkos TS12, compact 14500 thrower:
Yes, you could (theoretically) use an emulator for the microcontroller. I tried it a few times. And it isn't fun. It takes a lot of effort to simulate all inputs, outputs are hard to interpret and all kind of effects of the real light aren't reproduced.
In reality we flash the build onto a flashlight and try it. Sometimes it's only a prototype, disassembled. And rarely it's an actual devboard which has all relevant parts of the flashlight nicely accessible (basically the microcontroller with required electronics, regulated power supply, low power LED to see the output, several LEDs for aux and button and the switch itself).
The UI of the Manker E02 II is very similar to the Skilhunt UI. Low group with 6 (?) levels of very low light, medium level and turbo. Not sure how it could be much shorter. Same for the ZebraLight, it can't be any shorter to fit a AA (except for the H50 which doesn't have a reflector).
In Germany we have them everywhere. When I look out the window I see at least 10 of them.

When I count up to 100 I'd be able to count much further. In practice I'd just use my phone or a dedicated GPS receiver.
They are recalling the H150 and will exchange them for a fixed version. It's a huge financial loss, though. And I don't want to be the engineer who caused this trouble.
Indeed, this is far from perfect, but on the other hand it's also not angry blue, more a pure white and without green tint. For a thrower I find it kind of acceptable.
While Luminus has announced warmer SFT-40, I'm not sure if they are even released yet.
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.
It's 20mm.
I don't use clips. Who would have guessed. How are you organizing clips that you don't use?
Uhm... There are so many other flashlights with aux LEDs. Sofirn, Wurkkos, Fireflies, Mateminco, just as an example.
The Wurkkos TS11 in orange has one big problem: The inside of the head is orange as well. This causes an orange spill, as you can see in this image:
Today I noticed that the bezel isn't glued. So I quickly disassembled it, cut a piece of aluminum tape into the right shape and covered the inside of the head with it.
There's still some orange from the outside of the bezel, but that can be fixed with a black marker or a 3D printed insert.
Ist mir auch schon aufgefallen. Manche Posts kommen gar nicht, andere erst verspätet. Bei Kommentaren ebenso.
This proprietary battery that Nitecore uses for all their latest generation tactical flashlights is the reason why I don't buy or recommend them. It would have been easy to avoid these batteries.
