I got the X-0 thanks to your review and was not disappointed. The build quality is something else.

Just received mine in the mail yesterday. Super impressed. High quality build. Super bright. Tons of features. Very trick lanyard/charging cord.

ordered the copper X2. Can't wait for it to be available. I owned the X1 and its a fantastic light

Hi there. Just wanna point a couple of things about this great pocket flashlight. First, the one i love: if you click once and hold, the X2 turns on in low mode despiting the mode it was previously; if you click twice (no hold), you get direct turbo; f you click three times (again no hold), you get direct strobe. Just be careful when locking it, bc if you miss the four clicks, you will end "strobing" yourself or someone else instead of securing your flashlight. Second, the one i dislike A LOT: the X2 has not BEACON MODE (that sucks) and no magnetic tail either (that also sucks bc it doesn't sticks). Another thing i miss is a reversible clip. No problem with the one provided, but i would love to see a "dual side" clip on this baby. Another thing i've noticed is that if you ramp the strobe mode, it change the flash frequency (haven't tried on turbo mode, maybe will get 3000 lm 😁). The funny thing is perfection is an illusion bc it does not exist (where the f*** is my cold white 3000lm, moon - medium - high - turbo - strobe - SOS - beacon - jedi lightsaber modes with reversible clip, magnetic tail and beer opener that i always dreamed about? 😞

Get orings to fit the clip screws. Uninstall clip. Install orings onto screws so they are between the clip and the body. Reinstall clip. Now there is a slight pivot point flex for the clip and it is still tight. If needed maybe apply some Loctite Blue.

I have this Wuben on order. I'm just learning that they use the two different emitters as with the X0. The problem is that the order page does not allow you to specify, but it seems as though the white body models are the Samsung neutral emitter and the black ones are the Osram emitters. I just checked again and there is no way to choose the emitter or is the emitter specified under each selection.
BTW, I received the X1 yesterday in white and it is amazingly bright. Not sure if they are offering both emitters in that light or not, but it certainly does perform very well, although quite heavy!

Cool looking light, but non replaceable Battery is a no go . Batteries die plus the abillity to swap batteries etc... is an absolute must.

ordered X1 (gold color) today with your code (code still working), thanks ! how long does the shipping take to north america?

[StarDarkAshes]

Is there a newer version of this light? I want to make sure I’m not getting an old version on Amazon. Some of them say “lightok” and some don’t and there’s a new and improved clip. Also I want the white one and do they (the white ones) all have the Samsung? If anyone reads this and knows I’d appreciate any input. The one on Amazon says it’s an 1800 lumen. I just was wondering because some say it’s over 2300 lumens. Is that just the cool white? Thanks

CAN YOU OPEN IT UP
AND REPLACE THE BATTERY?

[mikeenslin]

I just looked at this light on amazon and apparently it includes a red plastic diffusor and a really cool flat usb c cable, that might be worth keeping in mind when buying

[DJJAW]

... Good review. (im sure, i noted two batteries, come out of it, on there various pics, when on kickstarter!) Love from a Englander !.

[Mister_Phafanapolis]

There are many functional, practical, flashlights by a number of manufacturers but Wuben is (one of) the only brand(s) that is trying to separate themselves from the pack and match the market leader in terms of design. Olight, the market leader, has great UI and looks. The Wuben X0, 1 and now 2 are fabulous looking machines with distinct, unique looks.

I have owned an X0 for a few days and my one point of concern is the switch; it feels more flimsy than the rest of the light. X2 is probably similar feeling. It rattles when not magnetized down and is all held together with a very thin pin. Looks like the "top hat" on the X0 and the button on the X2 are removable so maybe Wuben will reinforce and upgrade these parts in future releases.

How do you choose which emitter on their site? There are only body color options, and the page specifies both emitters.

[abtcup]

Finally picked one up in white. Got it for $59 (before tax). Almost $40 off MSRP...too good to pass up.

[anthonylim]

Just got it. Love it. However, only issue I’m facing is locking it out. If I do not press it with a certain rhythm four times, it won’t lock out. Did you face similar issues?

[asmacr.]

Nice im looking some led that samsung made cause my samsung phone flashlight is def outsanding performer mini flood thrower for phone light they def make a reliable led. And nice tint too!

[wtthehll]

Did you ever get around to opening the back?

[frustratedalien]

I ordered an X-0 when your video came out. Now I am tempted to buy an X-2 lol
