Bought the Wuben X3 for night shifts at the hospital. These little flashlights are amazing for their size. Great battery life, utility and feels well made.
I have the Wuben C3 tailswitch flashlight for a little over a year and a half and put it thru some ringers. I really like it; put a little grip tape around the middle and all ace
Nice little lamp. Mine was way more expensive (Nitecore), but yours looks as good. The mode I use most is the low light. 5 lumens in yours (my Nitecore even only one) is perfect while camping and you don't want to draw any attention. Love the clip-on design!
@chriscerta9821 The Nitecore HC65 headlamp. It has it all, very happy with it. I use it while sea kayaking, biking and hiking. Also during camping. And even at the telescope, because of it red light mode and also, again, for the 1 lumen mode. By the way I also have the Nitecore MT26 hand torch. The good thing is, both are powered by the same type of rechargable battery, model "18650". I really love those.
This looks really nice. If someone knows where I can buy it online from Greece, much appreciated! Tried to find it but came up completely blank. Sadly harder now after Brexit (if they are sold in the UK).. most UK stores don't even ship to Greece anymore. I got myself a AlpinPro "Tiny" that sits at 400lum, and it is so good I bought 2. USB-C charging, waterproof and no changeable battery. Also has a magnet on the end. Around 20 euro each. To me, they are super bright, and brighter than the 1000+ lumen ones I bought before (so I suspect all are incorrect in terms of their stated lumens). I can literally light up my neighborhood with it. And it has blacklight too, in addition to red, white and red/blue flashing. Still, this has intrigued me very much! So any tips are welcome! Edit: Is this one waterproof? And do you have to actually replace the battery or can you charge it? I somehow missed that part of the video
Nice review. But wait, no red light mode?!? Hard pass for me. Let’s get practical Wuben, not everyone wants to blow their rods/cones taking a quick look at something.
2.38 inches = a hair over 6cm. 80g is about 2.82 ounces Why do imperial for one and metric for the other? It's 2024 and we can google for conversions. It isn't hard. 6cm and 80g simples.
@@thatgearguy I'm annoying? I'm not the one mixing imperial and metric for absolutely no reason whatsoever. If you hadn't been so lazy you could have done it yourself. I'm bored, come back at me so I can really go to town!
@@95Gabe Please respect the maker of this content. To be very honest, I agree with you that the imperial system doesn't make too much sense, and it even gets more confusing when we mix it up with the metric one. But... There is absolutely no need to insult or get unpleasant.

Shame all the prices are in dollars, and as for inches, I haven't a clue.... oddly when talking of weight we switch to grams, calls it a flashlight, when he's actually English, where I believe they're called torches, makes me wonder who this video is actually for, as it's almost schizophrenic.
@@thatgearguy EXACTLY, this clown is NGMI through the coming years if such trivial issues are worth complaining about. 😄 Huge respect for calling it out.
I had a mini light that went in and out of my Dickies work jacket arm pocket easily but the clip broke and now the light itself is lost as well. Thing was good except that the button was very hard to press which was good so you don’t accidentally press it and drain the battery but you had to have a thumb like a hydraulic press to turn it on. I would not recommend it for self defense though. I tried to defend myself with it against a gang of far left thugs and frankly I got my ass beat quite horribly.
@thatgearguy You are British. Most of the anglophonic world uses the word "torch". Flashlight makes no sense; they don't flash. Do you also say "pants" for trousers?

This might be good for walking the Doggo in the woods 🐶
I reviewed two and bought another. They're handy on a safe.
Wuben make great lights I have the L1 and XO titanium 😊

More security videos,
please, please, please. 😊😊😊😊😊
This will make a good stocking filler
I believe it also has a power bank facility should you need to top up your mobile in an emergency.
I’m confused, that’s not 6”😏
@@heathersweitzer2899 😅
That discount code PAUL dosent work.
I will ask them
You have to use it via this link - www.wubenlight.com/?ref=ytmjzrxd
It will not work on the site if not via my specific link.

They have other torches if red light is an important feature for you..

Wubens are great but they're not as innovative as Rovyvon. You should check those out, particularly the A8, A28 and E30 pro.

Who made it?
@ I don’t remember but it was @ 3” long and @1/2” in diameter. Wuban has a few similar looking lights.
It's a torch. Why have people started usjng tge American term?
Because my channel goes out to the world not just England!

Torches set fires. In America we set fires with lighters.;)
He still pronounced Aluminum in that ghey British way, so we’ll call it even.😂
It's a flashlight, torches are like knifes and free speech illegal in Britain !!!
The thing I find strange about the imperial measurement is the use of the decimal instead of a fraction 2 ⅜"
