Summary

Earlier this year, Wurkkos released their first “flat” flashlight with a floody sidelight and a green laser. Now they added a variant with UV instead of the laser: the Wurkkos HD01 UV.

White spotlight and UV light, plus white and colored floodlight, combined with an elegant, flat design – the Wurkkos HD01 UV has a lot to offer. It is rare to find such a variety of light sources in a single flashlight.

Although the driver is simple, this should be acceptable considering the low price. With the HD01, you get a versatile companion for EDC use.

Neat and I like the look, but having weird modes like 'police lights' is a big downer. I don't understand why it has RGB at all because that's not useful for anything a flashlight does and the UI is a nightmare to use because of it!

I would love something like this where, instead of the UV light, it had a lower power warmer color light to help prevent ruining night vision.

That's why I don't understand the RGB thing, instead they could have had a nice red LED flood light for night vision use.

Actually I do exactly this from time to time because it makes people laugh.

When you say budget friendly, how friendly are we talking?
