Wurkkos HD04 Review: A Compact Clip Flashlight With Serious Versatility
The Wurkkos HD04 is a compact EDC clip flashlight with a lot of personality. At first glance, it almost looks like a tiny robot or something straight out of a sci-fi movie, but behind the playful design is a surprisingly capable little light.
With a rotating head, spotlight, floodlight, RGB modes, USB-C charging, a magnetic base, and a lightweight pocketable body, the HD04 is built to be far more than just another small flashlight.

First Impressions
The HD04 immediately stands out because of its shape and design. It has a compact body, a rotatable light head, and an overall look that gives it a lot more character than your average EDC flashlight.
This version is black, but Wurkkos also offers a clear version that glows in the dark, which adds even more personality to the design.

Size and Weight
The Wurkkos HD04 weighs 56 grams, which is just under 2 ounces. That makes it light enough for pocket carry, hat carry, shirt clipping, backpack straps, tool bags, emergency kits, and glove boxes.
The compact size is one of the biggest strengths of this light. It is small enough to disappear into a kit, but useful enough to actually earn its place there.
Rotating Head and Hands-Free Use
The rotating head is one of the most useful parts of the HD04. The head rotates a full 180 degrees and can also bend to 90 degrees, allowing you to aim the light where you need it without holding it in your hand.
You can clip it to a hat, pocket, shirt, backpack strap, jacket, tool bag, or work shirt. You can also use the magnetic base to attach it to a toolbox, appliance, car hood, refrigerator, metal shelf, or other magnetic surface.
That makes it especially useful for hands-free work, repairs, camping, power outages, nighttime chores, and emergency situations.
Lighting Modes
The HD04 includes multiple lighting options, giving it a lot of flexibility for different situations.
Spotlight
The spotlight gives you a more focused beam for distance and directed light. It includes multiple brightness levels, turbo, strobe, and SOS.
Floodlight
The floodlight gives you wider area lighting, making it useful for close-up tasks, repairs, camping, and general illumination.
RGB Modes
The RGB lighting adds extra visibility and utility. You can cycle through different colors, use flashing modes, and access the fun “party” style modes that many modern EDC lights include.
User Interface
The user interface is fairly simple once you spend a few minutes with it. One button controls power and brightness, while the opposite side button changes between the different lighting modes.
The light also includes mode memory, so it can return to the last mode you were using.
Best Uses
The Wurkkos HD04 is a strong fit for several different roles:
- Everyday carry
- Camping
- Power outages
- Emergency drawers
- Bugout bags
- Tool bags
- Glove boxes
- Walking the dog
- Vehicle repairs
- Checking breakers
- Nighttime chores
The rotating head makes it more useful than a traditional straight-body flashlight because you can aim the beam while keeping both hands free.
Final Thoughts
The Wurkkos HD04 is a small flashlight with a big bag of tricks.
Between the spotlight, floodlight, RGB modes, magnetic base, clip, and rotating head, this is one of those lights that can fill a lot of different roles without taking up much space.
It is compact, lightweight, practical, and surprisingly versatile. Whether you use it as your main EDC light or as a backup in a kit, the HD04 is a very useful little flashlight.
