This previously popular torch from Wuben is back on sale in multiple colours. While it's a tad more than last time you can get a further 5% off if you buy two. Because afterall you can never have too many lights!

There's two variants on the listing - 6500K colour temp (linked) and 5000K colour temp depending on your preference.

This one has two cool white Osram P9 6500K emitters and it's able to produce up to 1800lm of brightness for the first minute before dropping down. The other modes are high (400lm), medium (150lm), low (5lm), as well having strobe and SOS. It has a magnetic base and a clip for mounting, IPX8 water resistance recharges via USB-C.

There's additional accessories (not included) like a battery extender allowing you to use an 18650 battery instead of 18350, a headband strap and a motion sensor for toggling the light on the strap.

  How much is the extender to fit 18650's since these I got but have zero 350's? Probably still can't be bothered even if cheap enough lol

    It's an option on the listing. Currently $13.33.

    It should come with a protected 18350 cell.

    The E7 is a bit picky with 18650 cells. Some are too wide and some are too long to fit. A cell with built-in USB-C charging is probably too long.

    A protected 18650 is recommended. A thin and short button top protected 18650 should fit. The E7 appears to have low voltage protection built in.

    I'd be careful not to insert a cell backwards. Reverse polarity protection apparently work now? It didn't on some early samples that I reviewed and I burnt the driver by putting an unprotected flat top Samsung 30Q 18650 in backwards to see if RPP works.

      I ordered one a couple of days ago. Got the head strap next day, but need to wait for torch itself till next week as only 6500k was available next day here in WA but I wanted to see what the 5000k was like.

      What did you think of the two temps when you tested them?

      Was tossing up whether to get the sensor and/or extension tube. Will be using as a head torch mostly and extension tube makes it all a bit lopsided. Sensor might be useful but not sure if really need it.

        I rate the 5000k but will be interested to see what your thoughts are and a comparison pick perhaps. I don't have a 6500k E7 to compare mine to but next to my bike light it is distinctly less yellow and while it's something I probably wouldn't have complained or picked up on without the comparison, I'd definitely say I prefer it.

  Got mine last week. Interesting form factor. Unfortunately I'll need to exchange mine as USB-C charging seems to be DOA.

    Did you peel off the clear plastic projector on the battery?

      apey2000 on 04/08/2024 - 00:55

      Yes I did. The light actually works, and I can charge the batt manually in an external charger. It's just the USB-C charging that isn't cooperating. Have tried at least 6 different chargers and probably just as many cables, without luck.

  I bought this last week when the Wuben X0 was listed. I love it honestly. I got 18650 extension and considering the head strap mount because it goes pretty hard.

  5000k version is my pick, I wanted one of the coloured ones but they're all 6500k. Side by side with my bike torch I can tell 5000k is certainly less blue but it's by no means yellow, which for me is a good thing, it just feels white.

  With the 18350 cell it's very compact and is an easy EDC go to, it's shape makes it more versatile imo. Definitely worth it even without the extension if you are okay with topping up it's charge a bit more frequently.

  Couple things I wish it could do:
  1. A lower brightness strobe mode. Currently it strobes at 1000lm which is impractically bright for any situation that I actually want to use strobe. Unfortunate.
  2. A moonlight mode, but this is certainly not necessary.
