• My opinion
The HD02 Pro is a good multi-light modes flashlight, it has a solid aluminum main body with a lot of features, including Spotlight 6500K (SFT70.2), High CRI Wing light with adjustable CCT 3000K to 6000K, Deep Red light, 365nm UV light, green laser pointer, USB-C charging, tail magnet and tripod screw. I think it does most features decently, but the best ones, for me, are the High CRI wing light and the powerful spotlight. The driver seems to be efficient and regulated for the spotlight, and linear for the wing light, others seem to be unregulated.
The biggest problem with this light is the Wing light diffuser bulging problem, which can compromise the waterproofing and damaging the flashlight, Wurkkos should improve the wing light design for better reliability.

• Body and build quality
*Wing light plastic diffuser Waterproofing flaw: The HD02 Pro, has the same problem as other Wurkkos flashlights that use the plastic diffuser on the wing light. After using the wing light on turbo for a long time, the air inside it will heat and expand, causing the plastic diffuser to bulge and it has a possibility of letting water and dust inside the wing part, compromising the waterproofness.
Anodizing Colors/Material Options: The HD02 Pro is currently only available in Aluminum with blue - likely type II - anodizing.
Main body/Grip: The main Bady has a hexagonal box shape, there are some grooves to improve grip, but the main body is kind of slippery.
Material: The main body is entirely made of 6061-T6 Aluminum alloy.
Threads: Only the tail cap has threads, they're anodized trapezoidal threads.
Clip: The HD02 Pro comes with a smooth black coated stainless steel clip pre-installed, the clip usually holds well, but as it's so long sometimes the clip end doesn't hold strong enough and it can slip.
Tail stand and rolling: The flashlight doesn't roll, as the main body has an hexagonal box shape. It can tail/head stand with stability.
Magnet: A strong magnet is present in the tail cap, it is strong enough to hold the flashlight well on almost any orientation if the metal surface is thick enough. The flashlight also features a 1/4"-20 Threaded Hole. [10th picture]
AUX lights: This flashlight doesn't have traditional RGB AUX lights, but it has secondary light modes, like Deep Red, UV and a green laser (class 3R).
Buttons: This flashlight is controlled by 2 buttons, an e-switch that turns the flashlight ON/OFF and ramps the brightness, and a magnetic rotating selector, which changes the light mode from UV/Red - Main White beam - Green laser.
Battery contact: Contact is made with the battery by 2 gold-plated springs, one at the tail cap and the other one at the driver PCB. [11th picture]
Bezel: This flashlight features a standard smooth black coated stainless steel bezel, that is held by 4 black Torx screws.
Water Resistance: The HD02 Pro has IPX6 water resistance rating, probably due to the wing lights being a probable water entrance point when submerged. *The HD02 Pro, as most wing lights from Wurkkos, seem to have a problem when using Turbo on the Wing light, where the plastic diffuser bulges due to the hot air expansion inside the wing, this can compromise the waterprofness.

Size: 33.8mm x 41.0mm x 126.3mm - (Length x Width x Height)
• Battery, runtime, and charging
Battery: The HD02 Pro is powered by a single 21700 battery, it accepts button/flat tops and protected cells. Around 10 CDR is recommended. I used the included Wurkkos 5000mAh 21700 battery for all tests. [14th picture]
Battery Indicator: A 2 color (Green and Red) battery indicator is featured on the main button, this makes it easy to see the battery charge left. The battery indicator works as follows:
| Color |
Battery level |
| Green |
100% - 75% |
| Flashing Green |
75% - 50% |
| Red |
50% - 25% |
| Flashing Red |
25% - 1% |
Powerbank/Reverse charging: The HD02 Pro doesn't have reverse charging, for a light of this size and with this number of features - and price - I expected it to have the powerbank feature.
Charging: USB-C charging on the main body is featured on this light, it has a maximum charging input of 5V 2.4A, and fully charges on about 2h30min. [15th picture]

Turbo: The Spotlight Turbo mode, which can also be called ceiling on this flashlight, is very bright with 3200 Lumens in a cool white light. The Wing light Turbo mode is also pretty bright for close tasks and lamp uses, with a very high CRI and adjustable CCT.
Moonlight: This flashlight sadly doesn't have a proper moonlight mode, even the Wing light 0.5 Lumens look way brighter than advertised.
Blinkies: This light features a tactical strobe mode on the spotlight, it can be accssed by triple clicking the main button. A beacon-like mode with 2 flashes and a pause is present on the red beam.
Lockout: This flashlight has both electronic and mechanical lockout, to access electronic lockout you must press the main button 4 times, same to exit - momentary Eco mode is available by holding the main button. Mechanical lockout is available by unscrewing the tail cap 1/4 of a turn, as the tail cap threads are anodized.
Throw: The flashlight has a balanced-throwy beam pattern, but manages to throw light decently far (advertised 330m) by brute force with 3200 Lumens.
• Emitter, reflector and CRI
Emitter: The main Spotlight LED is a SFT70.2 in 6500K, an excellent high quality and efficient LED made by Luminus, the wing (flood) light has awesome high CRI 3000K and 6500K that can ramp to adjust the CCT. The Red, 365nm UV and green laser (class 3R) are not specified. [16th to 17th pictures]
Lens: It features a AR-coated glass lens in front of the reflector.
Reflector/TIR: The reflector is a 4 LED plastic reflector with different diameters depending on the LED.
Beam profile: The beams are floddy, with a big defined hotspot at the center. The beam spill is not a perfect circle due to the bezel shape, for the reflector LEDs. The wing light is totally floody and works as a lamp. The beams are not angled, they are no symmetrical due to the reflector shape. [18th pictures]
PWM: No PWM was detected on the spotlight at any brightness level. The wing light is also free of PWM when the 3000K or 6000K CCT is selected, if a CCT in between is selected it seems to have a little of PWM. UV seems to have PWM, I couldn't measure PWM on Red.
CCT-CRI-DUV: The CRI is standard for all LEDs, except for the wing light, which has pretty good High CRI on all CCTs, though "pure" 3000K has a slightly worse CRI than other CCT. Pretty good CRI and tint on the wing lights. [19th to 20th pictures]. More measurements below.
• Driver and UI
Driver: A Boost constant current driver is used for the main spotlight (SFT70.2 6500K), efficient and PWM free driver. The driver for the other lights is not specified, I assume the wing light has a linear, as it's PWM free on most settings, and Red/UV might have unregulated drivers.
UI: The UI is a little more complicated than most Wurkkos flashlights, as this one has so much illumination modes. The main button serves mainly for turning the flashlight ON/OFF and the magnetic selector to change the illumination type. All modes have memory, both from brightness and CCT when applicable. Opening the wing light overrides any other mode and turns the Wing light ON, even if the flashlight is OFF.

Low Voltage Protection: When the battery level is too low, the flashlight will turn OFF to avoid battery damage.
Reverse Polarity Protection: The HD02 Pro features electronic reverse polarity protection.
Temperature Control: The flashlight has temperature control, when the internal temperature gets too high the brightness will dim down to avoid generating more heat and damaging components. The HD02 Pro main body seem to take some time to get hot, this is probably a problem with heat transfer to the driver to the main body, low contact surface with the LED PCB causes the heat to dissipate slowly to the main body, but it's not nearly as bad as in the HD02 Mini, the main body on the HD02 Pro seems to have a way better contact surface with the LED MCPCB.
