Code is not working.

[@FittoSurvive]

@arillorlei I just checked it. Make sure it's all caps: FTS10 Add the flashlight to cart, then click on your cart, click checkout, then click order summary, enter the code FTS10, then click APPLY. Please let me know if that worked for you.

[@arillorlei]

@@FittoSurvive I checked again. There are two places to add a coupon when ordering. The first one does NOT work. The way you detailed did.

[@FittoSurvive]

@@arillorlei Perfect! Thanks for letting me know.

the orientation of the batteries having the pluses on one side and negatives on the other probably hints that the batteries are in parallel and not in series. this means that whatever the voltage rating of one battery is is the voltage of the flashlight. those that require two batteries tend to be oriented plus with minus (differently) because it then requires double the voltage of a single battery. and that means two batteries together in this flashlight doubles the potential of its overall operating time. i don’t know if this particular model comes in black but uv with black would be my preference.

[@FittoSurvive]

I didn't even pay attention to thay, but you are absolutely right.. Makes sense. Yes! It does come in black with UV. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@squirts1]

That's not how runtime works... You tried really hard to sound like you know what you're talking about, but you only know half of it and your conclusion is incorrect. Parallel vs series does not affect runtime. Wattage affects runtime (volts * amps). You can supply a device with 200 volts, but only push 2 amps and it will consume the same amount of total power (watts) as a device supplied with 2 volts at 200 amps. Also, many lights have boost drivers that increase the input voltage... On the other hand, many lights have buck drivers which step down (reduce) the input voltage.

[@pooofykittens]

@@iblackfeathers Whether batteries are connected in series or in parallel doesn’t directly affect the runtime. It’s only the driver’s efficiency with a specific source voltage and LED voltage and the total battery capacity that matters. And of course the LED efficiency itself.

[@RichardPoogerman]

Very cool. I have so many flashlights but may end up picking this up. Thanks for the vid.

[@FittoSurvive]

Thanks! Yeah, it definitely stands out from the cliché of tactical flashlights.

[@RidingKG]

You always make items you review so interesting. Thanks for sharing.

[@FittoSurvive]

I try to be straightforward about the items I review. But I do tend to be enthusiastic. 😅

[@Mr.BuckshotFTW]

Thanks for the quick review, decided to order one. Happy Holidays.

[@FittoSurvive]

You are most welcome! Merry Christmas!

[@Onyvox]

My Logitech G602 wireless mouse is 10 years old. It also has parallel battery placement, and it is able to work on one battery. 2 AA batteries tend to last me at least 2 months. I'm surprised that parallel battery placement isn't as common as it should be.

[@FittoSurvive]

Right? Seems like it should be a standard for so many electronics. I was legitimately surprised to see this in a flashlight. Like you said, it's not new tech...

[@ciscomontano]

I'm curious. How is a UV light useful? Sounds cool, though. Thank you for the video.

[@mytm100]

Hi hope this helps Find blood stains that haven't been cleaned properly check hotel sheets for cleanliness sanitize can see security features on ID or drivers license, checks, cash money, credit cards. Charge things thst glow in the dark. See scorpions at night Set certain resins that use uv And the list goes on

[@FittoSurvive]

I enjoy using the UV light to see a different spectrum of things. As mentioned, it can also be used to inspect for cleanliness.

[@zeroxception]

even at the sale price, its still $10 more expensive than it should be.

[@FittoSurvive]

With my coupon (FTS10), it's $5 cheaper. So, only $5 more than it should be. 😉

[@harrisonclark3799]

For the complexity, I think $50 is a fair price.

[@SanketKambli]

We need more thingd running on AA batteries instead of non replaceable batteries

[@FittoSurvive]

I understand what you are talking about, but I really do enjoy the convenience of a Type C rechargeable flashlight. That's one of the reasons why this hybrid flashlight is so cool. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@larstueschjth2658]

How about the cr123 batteys? Are they compatible? Nice vid btw👍

[@OptionalBean]

"welcome back t'fitzwae channel"

[@FittoSurvive]

😅 I heard that while editing the video. 🫣 Sometimes I speak way too fast and do not pronunciate.

[@dronetest7191]

I do have hope it will be more reliable than Wuben X3, which gave up after few months

[@FittoSurvive]

@@dronetest7191 uh oh, that's not cool. Should be able to get it fixed or replaced. My X3 is still holding up well. 🤞🏻

[@pj4433]

Can you fit protected 14500? Or are they too long

[@FittoSurvive]

@@pj4433 Good question! I don't have any of the protected ones to test that for you. Does anybody else know?

[@betos22s]

Code doesn’t work with their existing discount at least for me it didn’t 😢

[@FittoSurvive]

@@betos22s I just checked it. Try using this method: Add the flashlight to cart, then click on your cart, click checkout, then click order summary, enter the code FTS10, then click APPLY. Please let me know if that worked for you.

[@betos22s]

⁠ just tried it says the same thing can’t be used with existing discounts

[@FittoSurvive]

@@betos22s Strange, I just checked it again. Still works. Have you added any other promo codes?

[@thomasroles4339]

Does it have USB

[@FittoSurvive]

@@thomasroles4339 It has Type C USB charging, if that is what you are asking.

[@andrejmucic5003]

want!

[@FittoSurvive]

Right now is a great time to pick one up. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@susanbearer3658]

I thought about buying a Wuben, untill I did my research and found way too many accounts if terrible customer service.

[@FittoSurvive]

@@susanbearer3658 Interesting. I haven't had any issues yet. 🤞🏻

[@SmokeyBandit77]

Lock button is crap doesn’t hold battery with a firm press , UV light is crap, tactical tail switch doesn’t do what tactical should and that ability to start in full brightness to blind an intruder

[@FittoSurvive]

@@SmokeyBandit77 Haven't had any issues with the battery lock button. Haven't tried the UV light or the tactical tail switch yet.

[@BukoParcel-z7g]

Agree bro...uv version are crap....just received mine and it cheapo uv light i ever seen...

[@ContraVsGigi]

It is the first time I hear of this brand, but the video was convincing, I was thinking I might buy one. You are saying it is not a quality product&brand? Thanks.

[@vagabondmatt5152]

​@@ContraVsGigi it's a budget Chinese brand, I have the X7 on my hardhat as a headlamp (coal mine maintenance) and it's great. I prefer Nitecore for my edc lights but Wuben is pretty nice for the price.

[@SmokeyBandit77]

After being a multiple device Wuben user and kickstarter backer for them before I can safely say this is worst product and launch they have done , the way they have treated people and even put on website before some backers orders have even been sent is a massive letdown for the torch and edc community

[@edmonddantes7407]

Buy AMERICAN not Chinese.

[@FittoSurvive]

Totally agree! I'm actually working on an All American Made EDC Kit. What flashlight would you recommend? I was looking at Surefire, but their flashlights are almost $300...

[@powerart1]

I recommend the titan plus from surefire over everything they offer. Its the only aaa powered light I know that reaches 300 lumens safely. ​Plus its bombproof and has a better ipx rating than most similar lights. @@FittoSurvive

[@aestoev]

so they have a bicycle mount to use it as a bike light and it is advertised as having this capability, but lacks the usual bicycle flasher mode? The UI is absolutely horrible - who thought of this that you should go to Turbo first to have an adjustable ramp for all 4 emitters but otherwise for the individual ones only a stepped mode? no moonlight mode either. The side light could have had a nice warm CCT 3000K - 4000K emitter instead of the same CW as the front light. It does have the cool-factor / look at first and a bunch of emitters but in reality, it is a disappointing and half-baked product. It is powder-coated and not anodized. Aluminum construction but no protective glass bezel for the emitters and optics and the side light is made entirely of plastic and feels very flimsy. Wuben could have done a lot better on this platform if they spent the time to think it thru and the UI needs a major re-work. IMHO this is $35 light, not $70+ (Oh...and the brightness of the UV light is not adjustable and no proper UV filter.
