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.

Your song selection in this video has been 🔥

[neilwhite]

Have one on order through KS, with all the KS extras it looks like a good buy. Looking forward to getting it soon, thanks for the vid. Cheers

[cpufrost]

Damn that's the SAK (Swiss Army Knife) of EDC lights!

[Markserrano]

Excited for it to arrive at the shores of the Philippines 🇵🇭

[yossarian]

Very nice video. My first look at how this light will perform. I was in early on this kickstarter. I hope this one runs smoother than the last one. That one was a train wreck. Maybe they've learned something about logistics from all of that.

This is what we want the option to swap in new batts when they start to go.
Im liking this . Bit like the loop sk05 . Some great innovation at last. Been a bit stagnant lately.

[samx]

Thank you for this, much appreciated 👍🏻 I've just backed this on their Indiegogo campaign and hope to receive it soon 😊

[donaldstrader]

I do have one on order through the Kickstarter release. So although you may not be wild about it, at least you do not seem particularly satisfied. I like the ability to use eneloops as a backup. Plus I hope this in some way reminds me of a BSA (Boy Scout) side by side 2 x AA I carried long before LEDs were around.

Extremely needed in a HightCRI version 👍👍👍👍👍

[paultruesdale]

I always enjoy your reviews.
Definitely a trick piece of kit.
Would be cool to see something like this but with an 18650 or two for more juice.
Not my cup of tea, but would be a cool talking piece or muggle gift.

[DuotoneXIII]

Nice back up light, do hope they have a 95CRI led...

[Wolfeinstien]

I already pledge and did survey just waiting for it, ty for review glad I pledged after seeing it in this view.

[canaantravis]

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

[travislupum]

I supra2nv i have a bunch of fine sand granules in green and it glows so bright

[LatarkoholikGG]

Awesome reviews, keep up the good work! This light is amazing, but i guess it will come at a price...

[scottlp]

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. :)

[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.

[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.👍👍

[sloanNYC]

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!

[leebornaman]

Excellent review! We'll done! Intriguing sound track. I am a fan now. Also, flashlight poor.
