Wuben X1 Pro Review: Incredible Specs.... But Can I Recommend It?
Published: 1 day ago
The Wuben X1 Pro promises huge performance with an incredible 12,300-lumen Turbo mode, 410 meters of beam distance, and premium features. On paper, it sounds like one of the most impressive flashlights available.
But after spending time with it, I found some major compromises that completely changed my opinion. The Turbo output only lasts for a few seconds before stepping down, the head becomes extremely hot during use, there's no pocket clip, it's surprisingly heavy, and the water resistance is much lower than I would expect for a flashlight at this price.
In this review, I break down the real-world performance, who this flashlight might be for, and why I personally wouldn't recommend spending around $140 on it despite its impressive specifications.
If you're considering the Wuben X1 Pro, watch this review before you buy.
