Wurkkos claims 3300 lumen output on this, but in reality it's 2300 lumens on turbo according to 1lumen tests. These are not Amazon special lumens, but what the output actually is.

I've had this exact light for almost a year now, and it's my favorite light even without anduril2.0. Fantastic CRI, boost driver so the output stays constant, and the tint on the 519a emitters is perfect after I dedomed them. Also brings the 5000k color down to around 4500k.

5000k is pure white, no hint of ugly green that SST40 or XHP70.3 have at 5000k. The compromise is that 519a is less efficient in terms of pure output and watts. If you are a CRI and tint snob, this is the perfect light. If you want pure lumens, there's better alternatives even though this is still decent in the realm of enthusiast lights.

I can post what the beam looks like in snowy forest from a few weeks ago if anyone is interested.

Does this have stepless dimming? Direct access to moonlight and turbo modes from off?

Easy access to moonlight, strobe, and turbo from off. Long hold moonlight. Double click turbo. And triple is strobe. All from off.

I haven't used stepless brightness, will check the light and report back

Yes, there's smooth ramping/stepless dimming. I never tinkered with the UI much since most of my other lights are running anduril 2.0.

Here's a very well informed 1lumen review with all details like brightness etc. https://1lumen.com/review/wurkkos-ts26s/#ui

I have this light and I loved it until I dipped the head below the surface of my pool. (It's supposed to be waterproof) well just 1.75" submersion, not even close to the whole light shorted it out. Not immediately, but by the next day it wouldnt charge and the light in the button just stayed on until the battery died. Absolutely no response from Wurkkos to an email I sent. That being said, the build quality and feel of this light is top notch. The barrel threading, (super skiith) fluted design , anodizing and features are all amazing for this price.
Just dont get it wet.

I hate how flashlights get advertised with the flashy "Turbo" output which is useless for me since it's less than a minute to seconds in some cases. From that reviews link, looks like the "High" is the sustained output, which is 660 to 683 lumens according to the reviewer's test.
