You can swap out the battery on the Wuben X-0, it just requires an adjustable watch caseback wrench. The O-ring is a bit fat, so I found it helpful to use a thin plastic card to push it in as you tighten down. Finally, I don't care for the aluminum pocket clip-- too tight and rigid to use without bunching up your pants or worrying about breaking it. I do love the looks though!
Thanks for showing these options. I like the E7 5000k. Great wide flood for hiking, good headband, and mount for light. However, in my opinion, it needs a brightness level between low and medium. Low is only useful while walking if it's pointed down directly in front of your feet. Not something I find useful. Cheers
Unfortunately with the E7, Wuben have not inlcuded the programmable UI that is present in the X0 to configure the brightness of each mode. I reckon it's still the best value of the lot though. I like that dual P9 setup. Ridiculously bright for a little light.
Oh, funnily enough, compare the Nitecore MH20 and the Wuben i332 (got both). Both are almost *EXACTLY* the same dimensions and form-factor, both have onboard charging, both have a sideswitch, yet the MH20 takes an 18650 while the i332 can only fit a 16340. Not even an 18350, but a 16340. That's why I don't make assumptions about lights based on the cell they take.
@@DarrenYeoYT The MH20/MH20GT can take a pair of '123s as well. Nice thing about those '123s (primaries, that is) is that they're rated for a 10yr shelf life but 20yrs is the unspoken norm. Great SHTF backups...
@@DarrenYeoYT Oh, and the i332 is a snazzy-looking light for sure, but I got nfi what Mr Wuben was thinking when he decided to only stuff a 16340 in there.

Nice tip mate, I used a pair of pliers to unscrew it but left some ugly marks 😅

Thank You for your idea
You are most welcome

Oh damn those are both discontinued. Those 18650 tactical lights normally can take 16340/CR123 cells. Extension tubes are also great.

Arrrrgh, no Cat Mini? Kick-arse little 18350 thrower...
I don't have one of them yet! But heard it's similar to the Speras M4
@@DarrenYeoYT Yep, probably the same TIR lenses, and as the IF22A as well. 26mm? Forgot...
G'day. Insta-sub. Cheers.
Hey thank you mate!
