[Review] Wurkkos HD02 Pro – has it reached perfection?
Summary
With the Pro version, Wurkkos has responded to user feedback and addressed some of the criticisms of its predecessor. The fold-out wings on the Wurkkos HD02 Pro can now also be rotated, allowing the light to be directed in almost any desired direction. Another new feature is a 660 nm red light that helps preserve the eyes’ dark adaptation. The powerful spotlight, UV light and green laser remain largely unchanged.
However, there are problems with the charging function, which has been unreliable for both me and other users. It is currently impossible to determine conclusively whether these are isolated cases or a fundamental issue. The manufacturer was informed of the problems but was unable to provide any concrete information even after several weeks. Another issue is that the plastic diffusers in the wings can come loose when the light is used at high brightness.
I had specifically criticized the non-rotatable floodlight wings on the previous model. Wurkkos has done an excellent job of addressing this issue in the new Pro version. The red light is also a useful addition. The charging problems are all the more disappointing. Otherwise, the Wurkkos HD02 Pro would be nearly perfect.

Neat, it looks like a spaceship
I dunno, does it run Anduril yet?
Nope, but I don't see Anduril as the best solution for all situations and it would really struggle with the channel layout of this light.

Nice!
No link to a store to buy this thing here nor in the review?
Depending on your location, one shop might be easier to order from than another. Also I don't use affiliate links. A quick search should get you a few options where you can select the cheapest one. (Most of the time, the official store at https://www.wurkkos.com/ is the best choice.)
