WUBEN C3 Flashlight 1200 High Lumens Rechargeable Flashlights 6 Modes Super Bright IP68 LED Tactical Flashlight for Camping, Home, Emergency, Rescue, Hunting, Inspection, Repair, Tool Gifts for Men

LIKES: Very compact. Tail cap switch is easy to find in the dark. Five brighteness levels and a good spread of light make it a great torch to use not only around the home, but for camping and bushwalking. The build quality is amazing and comparable to flashlights costing several times the price of a Wuben C3. The supplied battery holds charge really well...in fact I have only charged it once since I bought it a month ago (and I use it everyday). Recharging is easy, via USB-C (no need to remove battery to charge it). DISLIKES: I have honestly tried to think of something I dislike, but cannot find anything. To sum up: I also own a Sofirn SP35 2000 Lumen flashlight, which is also an excellent flashlight. However I find myself mostly reaching for the Wuben C3. The compactness, lighter weight, and the tail cap switch make it an easy choice. For 80% of applications I don't require a 2000 lumens flashlight...but the Sofirn is nice during the limited times I do.

Se calienta hasta el punto, que con temor de que se queme la utilizo de manera intermitente.

I have to confess- I have a lot of flashlights. Ironically I'm very much not afraid of the dark and will annoy my wife walking around the house without turning lights on sometimes, but while I don't mind the dark when I want to be able to see something in the dark I don't want to be squinting at it and don't want to be hunting for a flashlight forever. It was because of this that I first encountered Wuben's flashlights- a good while ago I backed their Kickstarter for the Knight X-0 flashlight which has been one of my EDC flashlights ever since I got it, and I've since picked up a G-2 keychain flashlight and just received the Kickstarter E-1 MagSafe light. So when I saw that there was a 20% off code for the C3, I figured I wouldn't be disappointed- and I was right. The C3 is a modest bit bigger than what I usually carry around, which is fine- it's still small enough that you can carry it in a pocket fairly easily, but it's large enough that I wouldn't want to carry it all the time under normal circumstances. That extra size though is worth it, since it is BRIGHT. When I first got it, I tested it compared to my X-0 and initially thought that it wasn't much brighter- but when I took them outside and tested them in the dark, the C3 definitely puts out a lot more light. The C3 has a relatively focussed lens- it isn't adjustable, but with the power that the LED has it works well without needing the adjustable focus. One slight thing that I don't like about my X-0 is that if I run the battery down, I'm not going to be able to use it until I recharge it and I was thinking this would be the case with the C3. However, while it is rechargeable, it is quite easy to swap in a fresh battery (assuming you've picked one up and have charged it). It would have been nice to have been able to use standard AA (or AAA) batteries at the cost of brightness in a pinch, but that's definitely a very minor gripe. Not that I expect to be needing to worry about it- with the 2600mAh battery I don't imagine that I'm going to need to recharge it anytime soon, and 18650 batteries aren't too expensive if you do want spares. Like most flashlights these days, it has several different modes you can swap between with the switch- there are 4 brightness levels and a strobe function. It remembers what brightness you last used as well, which is nice. It is a pity it doesn't have a shortcut to the brightest mode like the X-0 does though, but it only takes a second to cycle through the power levels to get to it.

Credit where credit is due, this flashlight will do all the necessary tasks and has none of the features you will never need. I actually use this flashlight at work examining liquids. I use its ability to dim to search in light oils and brighten to examine within darker oils, and I'll tell you, I have spent over a hundred bucks on other flashlights in this type of form factor and I'm really very surprised that this flashlight has lasted this long! Charged this flashlight this morning which is why I thought I should write this review. Very happy with it. It's just a really good flashlight.

Been using this torch for the better part of 6 months on a daily basis and I'm very happy with it. Build quality is good, it's compact, the light is bright and usable indoors and outdoors, and overall I haven't had any problems with it. I have had some niggling issues a couple times where the power button needed to be massaged in order to work -- it feels like if you press the button from an odd angle you can knock it out of alignment such that it doesn't properly actuate when you press down on it (therefore the light doesn't turn on), but this has only happened once or twice over the last 6 months. This torch now lives in my toolkit and if I lost it or broke it, I'd buy another one immediately. It's much stronger than a pen light when I need it, and the low power modes work perfectly in tight areas where I don't need a blinding light.
