In the dynamic world of portable lighting, Wuben has continuously pushed the boundaries of innovation and functionality. Have you ever found yourself in a critical situation where your flashlight's battery died, and you had no immediate replacement? Wuben understands these challenges and is committed to solving them.
As a brand committed to meeting the diverse needs of outdoor enthusiasts and everyday users alike, Wuben has garnered a reputation for delivering high-quality, reliable, and versatile flashlights. Building on the success of the Wuben X2, which has been a favourite for two years, we are excited to introduce the next evolution in our line-up: the Wuben X2 Pro.
The Genesis of Wuben X2 Pro
The development of the Wuben X2 Pro was driven by extensive user feedback and a commitment to enhance the flashlight's functionality without compromising on its compact and ergonomic design.
The Wuben X2, while highly regarded for its performance and portability, presented a limitation with its non-replaceable battery design. Users expressed a desire for more flexibility and utility, particularly in critical situations where power sources might be scarce. This invaluable feedback laid the groundwork for the revolutionary changes incorporated into the Wuben X2 Pro.
Key Features of the Wuben X2 Pro
1. Innovative Replaceable Battery Design for Uninterrupted Use
One of the most significant upgrades in the Wuben X2 Pro is its replaceable battery design. Unlike its predecessor, which had a fixed battery, the Wuben X2 Pro features a quick-release tail cap with a latch mechanism. This innovative design allows users to easily and swiftly replace the battery, ensuring uninterrupted illumination in any situation.
Wide Voltage Range Compatibility: The circuitry has been re-engineered to support a wide voltage range, making the flashlight compatible with both 2*AA batteries and 2*14500 batteries. In emergency scenarios, even a single AA or 14500 battery can power the device, providing unparalleled flexibility and reliability.
First in Series: This makes the Wuben X2 Pro the first in the X series to support replaceable batteries, setting a new standard for user convenience.
2. Advanced Optics System for Versatile Lighting
In response to the demand for more versatile lighting solutions, the Wuben X2 Pro abandons the single floodlight reflector design of the original X2. Instead, it features a sophisticated composite lens system that combines both spotlight and floodlight capabilities.
Seamless Transition: Through extensive research and development, we have integrated a rotary switch with a press function, allowing users to seamlessly transition between beam types.
Adjustable Focus: The adjustable lens system enables the beam to focus from a tight spotlight to a wide floodlight and vice versa, providing optimal illumination for various scenarios.
3. Multifunctional Side Light for Enhanced Usability
Without increasing the overall size of the product, we have incorporated a multifunctional side light.
400-Lumen White Light and RGB Signal Lights: This side light includes a 400-lumen white light and RGB signal lights, greatly expanding the range of applications.
Adjustable Angle: The side light's angle can be adjusted up and down by 20 degrees, allowing users to customize the direction of the light for more personalized use.
Magnetic Tail Cap and Clip: Additionally, the magnetic tail cap and clip enhance the usability of the side light, making it perfect for hands-free tasks, signalling, and emergency situations.

I know! I love Wuben's designs, but I need them to make more high CRI versions. I'm still rocking my TO46R, it's been bulletproof for all these years. But I'm looking for some more modern high CRI lights, too.

[@eatmoreporkporky4342]

I thought the side light was high cri?

[@FLASHAHOLIC_TV]

@eatmoreporkporky4342 No, just a cool white LED. Cooler high CRI LEDs are still quite low CRI anyway.

[@eatmoreporkporky4342]

@@FLASHAHOLIC_TV Ah didn't know that, still good deal for 40 bucks. Honestly I like a cool white for seeing in the woods and stuff, but for reading and a little table lamp for camping warmer high cri is better. Maybe wuben will make another model with warmer emitters. You usually lose some lumens though. X2 is available with 5k emitters. I've got 4500k rovyvon and it's a beautiful floody beam, but not super bright. Still one of my favorite lights- the titanium angel eyes. The Owl x3 had the decent Samsungs too, but the output was really weak, and turbo stepped down ridiculously fast. I just hope it's not the same emitter as G2 those are really cool white, think they're p9.

[@paultruesdale7680]

Wuben is claiming 2000mAh for the 14500 cells, decent amount, but my experience they don’t last very long. 18650 is still one of the best power cells 2000-3600 mAH is hard to beat. Like I said, nice piece of equipment, talking point and plenty of bling. 21700 totally different category. The X1 is a serious flashlight/bikelight

[@TravellingbacktosAirfields]

It's not powerful light, but i like it. I hate watching your reviews, always ends up costing money 😂 Looking at the Nitecore EDC29, not got any nitecore flashlights yet, looks like a good starting point. I only wish we could get a distributor here in the UK, so we dont have to wait 2 weeks for the items to arrive. Great review again, another to add to my list.👍👍

[@FLASHAHOLIC_TV]

My next review features an absolute stormer.

[@donaldstrader7241]

The Nitecore EDC29 only has an IPX54 rating* and I prefer having a moonlight, even though the low is a useful level. I will no longer buy anything lower than an IPX5 and I prefer IPX7 or better yet IPX8. I was doing some cleanup outside and just got hit by rain with my Arkfeld Ultra in my pocket. I wanted to get some palm fronds and banana leaved in the trash bin for pickup on Monday, before a potential visit by the second batch of rain via Hurricane Milton. The other night I had it on the bill of my cap while unloading the vacuum and my face and the Arkfeld Ultra felt dusty. I washed both. [*Always verify such assertions yourself, if it is important to you, but I recall seeing that mentioned in a video and checked myself.]

[@HarryKuloh]

Definitely needs a warm white version

[@KandiKlover]

Yeah the color temp on this looks like 💩. What a waste.

[@canaantravis]

This with a warm emitter would be so hot for camping 😩😩

@canaantravis it's one of the better WUBENs, I would have liked High Cri somewhere and a sidelight that goes even dimmer.

[@scottlp2323]

A nice light, very gadget laden. Just missing a green laser really or UV. I have the Wurkkos HD01 and that has the laser along with the great flood side light...and some silly fun multicolour modes which my nephew loves. :) Might still get this though when Amazon throw some discount at it like usual. :)

[@chewbacshakur]

That lumos sound effect was a nice touch. I had to go back and make sure my ears heard correctly.

[@FLASHAHOLIC_TV]

@chewbacshakur stuff like that is thrown in for my pleasure, as I enjoy watching my vids.

[@NitricCondensation]

I was thinking how cool it would be to remove the 2 frontal center emitters and instead of them to install for example uv light and green laser, and at the expense of this to raise the maximum brightness of flood and spot for example up to 800 lumens.

I ordered one when they launched the campaign, but the more I see reviews, the more I think they need to refine this a lot. It feels like they are trying to do too many things without doing any of them well. 20˚ of angle change on the side? Weird! I wish all flashlights at least went up to a medium setting while charging. It could be an emergency!

[@denisopolev]

4000-5000K HI CRI main light and 3500-4000K Hi CRI sidelight would push me to buy, otherwise no, sorry wuben. They focused on everything except the light quality so they made another toy gadget, not the flashlight.

He contacted the Wuben company through email & they said they would reply within 24 hours, a week later, no reply. He had to exchange through Amazon. That is a deal breaker for me. The Amazon customer did like the light & was the reason why he wanted an exchange. But for me, no 2nd chances on customer service. I would not purchase.

Actually now that I have mine in my hands the thing is built like fort Knox. It's actually pretty damn heavy even without the cells- for a flashlight. Wish the selection slider was stiffer, but the main button is pretty good. Really nice flashlight, but would be better with hi cri lens, even if it was the side light. I also with you could change the power of the rgb led. And have a bigger adjustment angle. Also more power would be cool. But the build quality is really nice and for 35 dollars it's a hell of a light. I don't know what the retail price will be but they could charge more.
