Summary

I have not seen more light from a flashlight of this size. Thanks to its flat form factor, the Wuben X1 Pro fits easily into your pocket. With spotlight, floodlight or a combination of both, the light can be adapted to any situation. Active fan cooling allows for longer operation at high brightness. The batteries can either be charged directly in the light via USB-C or quickly replaced if needed.

However, the specified 12300 lm output is not fully achieved and also drops quickly within the first few seconds. After that, 3000 lumens are maintained consistently for about 1.5 hours. With heavy use, the fan could be affected by water and dirt, but it can be replaced relatively easy if needed.

I'm going to call that a little optimistic, but the fact that it's even possible to put a light that makes a stable 3000 lumens for over an hour and a half in a pocket is pretty impressive.

Yeah, maybe I'm a little biased because I can also fit an LT1 in my pants. 🤪

Cool shit. Could've been a solid contender for me if it wasn't for the size and that I already got the loop gear model. They certainly don't hold back on performance
