WUBEN C3 Pocket Flashlight Rechargeable 18650 Battery Powered LED Tactical Torch with Type-C Fast Charging 1200 Lumens EDC Light (Classic)

Bought this as a gift for my wife, who was promoted to a building inspector. She absolutely loves it, with several brightness settings, sturdy, and a great battery life, it's a must have for any tool bag, or drawer.

I bought this and carry it on my pocket and it is durable and I have put it through a lot of stuff and it still keeps going.

I love this flashlight so much I just bought a second one. It is compact and extremely bright and the different brightness settings allow me to easily control the brightness. It easily fits into my pocket and the clip keeps it in place.

This is a fantastic little flashlight! I’ve got all different generations of LED tech flashlights. In the beginning they were efficient but underwhelming. You could get better ones for a hefty premium. Today the tech and efficiency available is fantastic. I hadn’t heard of Wuben but a relative perpetually keeps in the know of flashlight tech recommended I check this one out. It’s sturdy, compact, and self-sufficient. It includes a rechargeable 18650 battery which packs more punch than whatever alkaline could fit in that space. It also uses a well know OSRAM brand LED according to the ad.Proprietary cables/chargers, or needing to keep a separate battery charger with you are just inconvenient and this package solves that. Unlike a lot of other flashlights it has a built in USB C charger! The built in charger alone is great, but the fact that is USB C (the new universal standard minus Apple being their smug selves) you can charge it anywhere you can charge your phone or personal devices. It even comes with a cord!The light modes are great as well. I find that most high lumen flashlights are way too bright for doing anything up close without blinding yourself. This has a few low light energy efficient modes so I can preserve my retinas in the dark. A few soft taps of the button turns on the turbo mode which will flood a fairly large field at night. I find myself using the modes 1-3 often and 4 (highest) only temporarily if I’m checking a huge area briefly. I’ve used it nightly walking the dog and I rarely have to charge it. Personally I don’t see myself using the flasher features but I can see their purpose for emergencies etc.I saw some reports on some forums of some differences with early models when they first came out. I own both. Contacting the company the earlier models were meant to charge ‘protected’ batteries which had an integrated circuit for overcharge protection like the one it came with and they wouldn’t be issue free with a protected battery. Apparently some people have a stock of their own cheaper batteries without overcharge protection as spares and noticed some overcharging. I don’t know the extent but info is out there. The earlier models had a slightly different beam shape as well. It was a little bit squarer than round but I didn’t find it to change functionality appreciably. They told me all new stock has addressed these concerns (sometime in early December?) having modified charge protections for unprotected batteries as well as a more rounded beam. I can confirm the latter but I don’t haven’t confirmed the former yet but I have no reason not to believe them. Their customer service was responsive and helpful with my questions on the topic.Overall I think it’s a great light with fair pricing and I purchased a few of that for myself and family.

This is the second WUBEN C3 I purchased since I wanted one to keep in my car. This flashlight is small and very bright. I like that it has a USB C port vs the older micro-USB. Even if I forgot a cable, I always have this type of cable in my car because of my phone.The only drawback I have found is the lack of a momentary on/off switch. I was trying to flash the light to catch someone's attention this evening and I had to click off and on over and over vs just lightly pressing the button. This may not be an issue for most people, but it may be a deal killer for tactical use. Then again, I only carried SureFire or Streamlight for tactical situations where flashlights took abuse. I have no idea how this flashlight would deal with those situations since those days are in the past. All I know is it works great around my house and in my car.
