Overview
The Wurkkos TS26S delivers what high-CRI enthusiasts dream about: four Nichia 519A emitters at 5000K running on a boost constant-current driver. The result is 3100 lumens of beautifully rendered, color-accurate light with a CRI of 95+ — colors under this beam look almost exactly as they do in natural daylight.
The quad-LED TIR optic produces a signature smooth, uniform beam with no hotspot artifacts, rings, or tint shift. At 122mm and 108g, it's a compact and pocketable 21700 light. The magnetic tailcap enables hands-free use, USB-C handles charging, and IPX8 means it survives full submersion. Eight modes from eco to turbo plus strobe cover all common scenarios.
The TS26S is the Simple UI counterpart to the Anduril-equipped TS26. If you want the 519A beam quality without learning Anduril, this is your light. BudgetLightForum reviewers consistently praise the beam profile as one of the best in any production flashlight under $50.
