A similar Streamlight might cost $100.

I have not had a Wurkkos or Sofirn fail and even have many no name generic china lights are still going strong after ten or more years of use and abuse.
Why would I want more expensive when I can have multiple light in various form factors and function where I need them for still significantly less cost than one Streamlight?
Streamlight also seems to want to suck you into proprietary batteries that you can only get from them which I find very weaselly and money grubbing in a world where low cost 18650 is becoming standard.
WK03:
Neutral color temperature
Excellent color rendering
18650 battery (possibly pocketable)
Lightweight for size

TS23:
Lots of output (briefly) for size
Very cool color temperature
Poor color rendering
21700 battery (higher capacity, not pocketable)
Heavy for size

I'd also argue that one bad item off the line does immediately make a product cheap or factory bad. All manufacturing has failure rate.
I paid $29,000 for very well liked and reviewed car and got a complete lemon. It did not mean the maker or model were cheap and junk it just meant I got a bad one. BTW I got bad service there as well, they seemed to try but it just kept having problems and in frustration I sold the thing at a loss. I did not walk away trashing the factory for being cheap or making bad products or model I walked away mad and frustrated I got a bad one.
Don't get me wrong I sure was not a happy camper and was quite disgusted but we live in a world where stuff like that happens and I have figured out I have to deal with it and move on. With these light we are only out $20 or so if it does go south I am not going to sweat that to much. My options to get assured warranty just cost to damn much besides.

Luminus SST40 vs Nichia 519A 5000K
Can you link us to the $10 one? All I'm seeing is$12.99 w/different LED [wurkkos.com].
Same price with battery though.
Currently $18.99 at https://wurkkos.com/products/wk03

I almost don't expect warranty at the price paid is kind of my point. I weigh and consider that before purchasing these kind of China goods and usually find the cost/risk/reward ratio good with some sour on occasion.
I have nothing against Streamlight, well except that proprietary battery stuff, but I'm just a cheapskate and I do not need top of the line gear for my pursuits like you may. If I go skiing I am not going to be getting Olympic class skis as it would be waste. My guns while very nice at least in my opinion were to the frugal and budget side.
NIce to have some talk with a reasonable person. I could care less about Sofirn or Streamlight but will talk of where I found value. Many misunderstand that as some love, commitment or loyalty to the brand or company and get mad. Many get into the fanboy mode, get all argumentative and brand loyal. I am not a fan of any company and shop where I find value. I have been known to buy from companies that I have personal distaste for if the price is right and the value is there. I'm going on greedy and try to keep morality out of it. Yes it would be nice if they would honor warranty but is is what it is with the China stuff.
