Got my first light last Christmas and it’s been such a fun time getting all these. Sofirn IF30 should be here any day!
I can see you like Anduril! Except for the wurkkos ts12.
How do you like the brass ts10? Seems like a great value and is on my list to potentially get.
Sticking with the 14500-theme, my first hank light might be a D2 if I can settle on an emitter combo.

I recently bought my first Hank, a D2… its a fun little light… more details in this album: https://imgur.com/a/vXeGC1t
I also have a couple of TS10, and I really like them too. Here is an album w one of mine, modded to sw45k: https://imgur.com/a/KMuvsRP I will probably buy the Titanium model next.
Thanks! I’ve seen some of your great posts and LED swap mods on BLF. These are well-photographed, something which is more difficult than I realized once I tried taking some photos of lights, with phones being so good now at taking pics of people and landscapes.
I do have a ts10 in the rotation (plus two extras from when Terry from Wurkkos said the anodized colors were being discontinued) and it is as good as everyone says, although I only like it in 5700k.

thanks…
the secret for me, has turned out to be to take photos during daylight hours (not in the dark)… it seems to help the iPhone camera (auto white balance), to produce useful beam color comparisons, for me… Plus daylight shows what the host looks like.
the other thing that has turned out really handy as a background is my gray soldering mat… (better than white paper).

I’m such a tinkerer that not having all that control stresses me out. If the TS12 had a less ugly LED and Anduril I would carry it everyday. It’s so much fun.
Honestly I haven’t carried the brass one much. It’s really nice I just like the copper one much more. For the price it’s an absolute steal though. Plus you can get it in 3k.
My white D2 is a 519a 5700k/2700k dedome combo with floody optics. And the green one is 3500k and green with spot optics. If I had to get 1 more honestly I’d probably get 519a/w1. I think flood/spot is the most practical.
ts12
Late reply but now I realize they should have just made a 14500 version of the ts11, even without aux sft40 or W1 would have been neat with this host.
