I have the C3 and the L50. My L50 is not that bright and was a disappointment. I threw it in my box of regrets and have not seen it in a long time. But that one light does not reflect the entire Wuben line up. The C3 is a solid EDC light. My long time favorite the Wuben T70 with extended tube running 2 x 26650 resembles a thin Mag light with the extension tube. My living room table lamp went out 3 days ago and I have been using the T70 as a lamp, and its still going strong, have not recharged it yet. I am too lazy to run down and pick up another lamp or replace the faulty switch. And of course the new arrivals the Wuben X2 and X1. That X1 is a killer with a long usable sustainable run time.
Hey man, the L50 would be way better with a momentary tactical switch. It seems like Wuben use the P9 often in their cheaper flashlights - they don't run too hot and are efficient but nothing special in my opinion and would rather a nice NM1 or PM1 in these lights. Could attempt a mod but often if the reflector is not customised, you get crappy artefacts in the beam. Yeah their X series are definately something. Copper X2 is out too now.
I must say that the l50 is probably the best buy for an EDC light I've ever picked up I currently own quite a few of them I have two of them on my one carbine it's ridiculous with both lights I just wish it would strobe and would go directly from being off to the bright light without having to go through the modes right before full brightness to turn it on to get it to full brightness and leave it idle at the mode before
@@DarrenYeoYTif you are with the reviewer and I did this correctly I think I found something I was reading up on it and it says it has programmable modes I have yet to uncover what they are but tinkering with mine I've learned that if you leave it in the last power mode you want to go back to when you turn it off when you turn it back on click the button down hold 1/11 then release it it should go back into the previous power mode you turned it off on let me know if this works for you please this is my only Grudge with this light it sucks because say there is a threat and I cannot afford to cycle through those stages so now I did it about 50 times in a row and it always goes back to the most powerful mode I left it on as long as I cycle to the most powerful mode or turbo mode and like I said when I reactivate it I click the button down for 1,000 and then release it and then it automatically fires up in the last previous mode it was powered off on let me know if this is the case with yours
@@DarrenYeoYTalso do you know any other lights of this price and power that can actually stay at a certain brightness without having to do what I do because I don't need that one in a million chance of it not working when I really need it I have a light on my firearm and I don't want to use that unless I absolutely have to that would mean the weapon is out with the light activated and if there is a threat I do not want to scroll through light modes on any flashlight because as I was trained and as I grown up and been around Firearms my whole life that the only way that gun comes out of the holster outside in the public is if there is an immediate threat that has backed me into a corner with my little girl or is trying to come into my home or my vehicle and that is not a light on my weapon that I will use for a EDC purpose when that gun comes out and that light comes on it has a 850 Lumen blinding strobe and God forbid if it ever does come out I'm only barking one or two orders that I am armed I have a gun back up and that's about it it's only going to be used as a lifesaver not a area Checker any of these lights in the video here by wubin or any that you know that may be a bit bigger with the same amount of power or any other companies maybe a little more money or the same price can be as effective as this that I can trust that it will be on the most powerful mode if I need it out of the pocket and not do the 11000 long press and release hope it works game also if you're into Firearms I haven't checked your videos I'm going to subscribe Warrior land has a holster gun like combo and I would like to see somebody like yourself that knows about lights and their true power to see exactly how many lumens or how powerful this gun light actually is I paid about $100 for the whole store and the laser light combo and I can honestly say my buddy has a 300.00 light on his Glock and mine makes it look like a sparkler even has an LED display and a magnetic rechargeable battery which I have not yet seen any high-end light or tactical gear makers put a LED battery display and it Scrolls their company name for that price I know it's very bright because I can hold it side-by-side in my yard with the flashlight itself and its two different types of how do you say throw or beam but the gun light basically lights up my whole front Vision I can't explain it and my peripherals I guess they will call that like a stupidly bright flood Style with a center beam I don't know of anybody yet that is tested the power accurately of this light of what it's truly throwing out if the Reuben is throwing out Woburn not woman is throwing out 1200 Lumen the l50 or whatever this thing has to be up there because it's two different beans but they're both ridiculously bright and their own way the flashlight carries further but the gun light illuminates anything I would need to see at a distance that is beyond reasonable to be a threat just food for thought I would love to see somebody with your knowledge actually do a test on this it's called the crossbow by Warrior land you don't have to get the combo if you don't have the Glock or a gun that is capable or compatible with the combo you can buy the light separate off of eBay let me know if this will be something you're interested in I asked another flashlight dude I think he was in the UK or somewhere and he never got back to me I think he had a whole huge subscription of people subscribe to him so he didn't get back and you got back to me fairly quick can you seem very knowledgeable I watched the videos that you compare these to and I couldn't tell you said the one light was actually going dead and the l50 was brighter than the other one and what I seen was the other one and my opinion look like it in my opinion look like it had a better beam but I wasn't there and I don't know anything about these this was never my cup of tea because I purchased 110 or 12 years ago it was a Nightcore 1200 Lumen EDC pocket light and it just recently died on me Unfortunately they do have a warranty to fix it but it's 15 to 20.00 to send it back to China and same to get it back that's 40 bucks for a light that's outdated and to be honest on the highest power the woman or whatever the Amazon light the l50 I believe on full power blows the Nightcore out of the water but the Nightcore was reliable and it had a strobe function not a SOS or maybe a SOS I'm looking for a another reliable light around this price or a little bit more that is the same size same battery same power but can strobe and throw out as much power as the wubin if not close enough stay in the correct mode if needed and I'll carry both carry both I'm already thinking about putting the Roof Inn on a rail on my rifle or truck gun that I have but it just seems like it would be a headache to operate cycling if I didn't get it right the first time and if that comes out it has to illuminate immediately because as I said before if a firearm comes out with a light that light has to be effective immediately and that firearm is only out as I said before to either back somebody away from me let them know to back off or to defend minding my daughter's life I see a bunch of different lights on Amazon I don't know anything about them I know that feyachi makes very good products and I think I'm going to go with their $30 set up for my truck on it has the sensor where you can use the pressure pad if you know what I'm talking about that goes on the side of the gun that way all I got to do is tap that to activate it and as far as I know it doesn't have all these different Cycles it does but once you go into one it stays on that until you physically change it but it's a bit big for a pocket light this one I have now is perfect but like I said I think I found a glitch or a way to keep it on the high power mode but I don't want to gamble my life with that and I want a strobe I've had a strobe save my life actually the Nightcore I don't want to Ramble On and On so I'm going to cut it off here but I had someone that was charging at me a while back years ago before I was able to carry a firearm thank God but always had a tactical knife or something and it was Pitch Black I have a buddy that was in the military and also trains police and they say that the stroke is one of the most effective weapons you can use on an attacker you can strobe them in the pitch black and another crazy thing real quick he told me I don't know if it's true but if it's snowing out and it's real dark that will really mess up their eyesight for a couple seconds for you to get out of the way of their charge or just the strobe them and get out of danger I don't want to have to do that with my firearm and then get pulled up on charges by a civilian seeing me or police riding by or any other ridiculous reason so check that feature for me the long click on l50 and let me know if it works for you and if you could recommend any other lights that size that have a strobe feature and preferably that powerful that size and it has to have that battery no Double AA it has to be a 18650 I know they make powerful double a batteries but I don't want one I have a fleet of brand new batteries from vaping that are perfect for these lights and I also have a bunch of backup Ruben and Nightcore lights and again I'm sorry about this ramble but it's very important to me if you can help even if you can't mess with the gun light or not interested that's not a big deal I was just curious about that it might get you a lot of traffic because I haven't seen anybody do a actual test on the power of it that knows anything about them all they say is wow it's bright as shit excuse my language their words and pretty much people buying it and taking it outside using it not knowing what they're dealing with or how much power is throwing but the main thing is for you to try that technique and to suggest maybe another light from Amazon there's so many I don't know where to go to and after finding out Nightcore is in China that's too much money even covered under warranty they will not pay shipping back and forth so I'd rather keep it something affordable and preferably us made but that's not important at all thank you and again I'm sorry about this novel but your help could save me and my daughter's life or my freedom or

Streamlight and there was like three others I'm going to look at some of your videos you can probably have the answer right there and save me from this Stephen King novel but you're pretty much my

this
Hi mate, their official site is legit. They should have sent you a confirmation email with tracking? If not, may be worth contacting them to see what's up. 2, maybe 3 weeks is the longest I've waited for a light to arrive here in Aus.
Great video thanks question do you know how to go from on the l50 from being dead off to automatically go into full brightness or is there a way to program or get right to it without flipping through? I heard it's programmable but can find nothing about it
Why do all of these flashlight reviews talk about maximum brightness and just a cursory review (that I could get from a web page) of the other "features"? I don't care if the flashlight is bright enough to bore holes through hardened armored steel or perform surgery from 100 feet away. For those looking for an emergency or prepper flashlight. There are other things more important than maximum brightness. 1. Does it have an ultra-low power "moonlight" mode? I'm not talking about "low". I'm talking about a light source in the 0.5 to 5 lumen (max) range). I have found that most of what I need a flashlight for can be done with a minimum of light. In a SHTF situation, I'm very concerned about battery life. I often have no idea how long I'm going to need that light, so squeezing as much battery life as I can is important. 2. How long does a fully charged battery (state the capacity) maintain moonlight mode? Not what the manual says. What did your testing reveal? 3. I can find my Wuben C2 in a pitch-black room because it has a unique feature that backlights the "W" on the power switch. It slowly cycles the brightness up and down almost as if it were breathing. It will do this (in blue) for months. When the battery gets low, it changes to red. How many other flashlights have this valuable "find me" feature? 4. Finally, does the flashlight have the ability to charge (and provide power to) an external USB powered device. The Wuben C2 has a USB 2.0 power output port. How many flashlights have this?
Thanks for your suggestions. This was an older video and I have also done separate, more detailed reviews of each lights. I don't test extended runtime of the moonlight mode though due to time constraints.
Wuben make some innovative lights, but they are a dishonest and untrustworthy company who does not live up to the promotions and who's customer service is lousy. Here is the story behind these comments. Wuben recently had a 2 for one sale. This was my first visit to their website, so I decided to get an E12R (plus the free one). On the product page it clearly said the E12R was part of the 2 for 1 promotion. But when I put them in my cart and tried to check out, their cart would not give me the promotion and was charging me full price for 2 lights. I emailed their customer support and told them what was happening. They responded by asking which item I was buying, so I replied and told them the E12R. Several emails when back and forth where they said that since I had not made the purchase, I was not eligible for the deal as it had ended. I explained that their system would not give me the deal so I did not check out while I was waiting for them to resolve the issue. A few more emails went back and forth but they refused to honor their promotion and blamed me for the problem because I did not check out at full price for 2 items. Ava, the customer service rep seemed unable to understand why there was a problem and refused to do anything to resolve the issue. So, that was my first , and last, time I will buy anything from Wuben, because they cannot be trusted and are dishonest and provide terrible/non-existent customer service.
Hi Don, I'm sorry to hear that - would seem reasonable if the promotion had just lapsed that they honour it anyway out of good faith. I can pass that feedback onto them if you'd like? Thanks for sharing.

Thank you again Tartara!

It's a great thrower, wish they integrated a proper tactical mode / shortcut to high.

Do you know if the official page is reliable, go up to buy my flashlight, since I've been buying a flashlight for 2 weeks and nothing has arrived!

Unfortunately there's no direct shortcut to the highest mode. Wish there was.
No doubt the wuben lost the comparison..
