Review summary

Based on reviews, created with AI

Most reviewers were somewhat happy with their experience overall. However, customers express concerns about several aspects of their interaction with the company. Specifically, a significant number of people report issues with their orders, such as delays and receiving incorrect items. In addition, consumers have had difficulty contacting the company, citing unresponsive customer service and non-functional phone numbers. There are mixed opinions regarding the quality and functionality of the products. While some appreciate the flashlights, others report defects, charging problems, and short lifespans. Furthermore, experiences with delivery services and customer service are inconsistent, with some people satisfied and others reporting long delays, lack of communication, and unhelpful support.

I purchased the Wuben E7

I purchased the Wuben E7, a battery extension and extra battery that all worked great…until the batteries went dead. As with others in the reviews, the flashlight will not charge with or without the extension tube. I also purchased an entirely different battery, but it won’t charge either. Sadly, the 30 day return policy ensured that I can no longer return this item. Beware, if you choose Wuben products! I would recommend other manufacturers.

Wuben E7

Ordered an E7. Slight issue with unit when received, but Wuben Customer Services (Allen) were first class and a replacement unit was issued immediately. Excellent flashlight and excellent customer support.
Flashlight itself is robust and extremely bright. Runs on 18650 battery for a decent length of time. Would recomend.

I prefer the X3

I can only compare the X4 to the X3, both of which I pledged on Kickstarter. The pluses over the previous model are: larger size, RGB side light, brighter light, tactical switch, replaceable 18650 battery.

The most blaring feature is the sliding switch. I hate it so much it overshadows the good points. The switch slides, sometimes, but only with a specific amount of pressure, otherwise it doesn't move at all. Having the light on the lowest setting exposes the charging port. Three stars reflects the price I'd want to pay for this light.

DOESN'T WORK BUT LOOKS GOOD

After waiting over a month for my Wuben G5 flashlight to arrive it finally did, yes I thought it feels great looks great and upon switching it on the day it arrived it worked great, very powerful light, after putting it in it's box and safely in the drawer for a couple of weeks I needed it, great I thought, I have the Wuben G5, upon switching it on again no flashlight worked, the colour light does that's really just a gimmick because it doesn't light up a tiny cupboard so the first day it worked and now it doesn't even after no use, do not bother with this G5 flashlight, something from the 99p store would last longer.

So far i am not impressed and i havent even gotten my flashlight yet.

Turns out this seemingly german product ships from China via ship or sailboat or whatever.

It took the shipper 5 days to get the package going.

I honestly expect this to be another Chinese scam thing and have written it off as lost.

If i do get my flashlight im guessing its going to be as good as any other crappy item from Temu.

Only works 45% of the time.

I bought this light on Amazon, thankfully! Here’s my review, but I need to update it since original purchase AND the replacement . It’s straight trash, do NOT buy. Nothing is tactical and I don’t think it will survive any camping trip. The reviews you see that are 5 stars, are reviews that Wuben bought by emailing people and im exchange for a 5 Star review they reimburse those people via PayPal under fake names so it’s not tracked. Here’s my Amazon review:

This is my second L3, I had to replace the first one for several reasons. The first one had several issues that were not acceptable. The first reason was because the emitter produced a donut hole effect that was very noticeable. The other reason was when I removed the pocket clip, it took some of the paint off, and I didn’t even twist or do anything to the clip, I just pulled it straight off. Now I know it’s a tool first and foremost, but for a light that says it’s tough I don’t think the paint should do that right off the bat. As for the function, sometimes it works, sometimes it gets stuck on whatever current mode and the tail cap switch won’t cycle anymore modes so it’s stuck. Power bank is a great function, when it works. The power of the modes is great. I like the tone of the light and throw is amazing. So overall, it’s a great light, 45% of the time. Major bugs need to be worked out.

Great quality and helpful service

I've had my Wuben TP10 for many years and it has not once let me down.
I recently ordered a B2 bike light and C2 and C3 flashlights.
Everything is great quality and Ava from customer service was very helpful when I wanted to change the color of my order before it was shipped.
Shipping to Germany took a few weeks but everything came as expected.

Don't let some of the disgruntled reviews on her dissuade you.
I ordered straight from the official wubenlight.de site and everything was perfect.

G5 and E7

I couldn't get a discount because I didn't look carefully at the date of the 9th anniversary event.
In addition, Wuben didn't send the product for more than 10 days, so I wrote an inquiry email out of frustration, but the only thing that came back was an automatic reply.
In the end, I applied for a refund through PayPal, and only then did Wuben reply by e-mail saying that had sent the product.
It was my first purchase, so I waited for the delivery with a bad feeling. If there was a minor defect in the product, I was think going to send it back.
However, the product was surprisingly flawless. The G5 is small and can rotate the clip and light head at an angle of 180 degrees, making it convenient to hang on clothes or handling no matter how use it.
It has the flexibility to adjust the intensity of light, quickly switch to turbo mode or emergency flashing mode, and has the brightness comparable to a palm-sized lantern with a cylindrical shape, making it the best product for looking at a variety of machines and pipes in the construction site.
And the E7 can also be conveniently plugged into a bag or vest using a clip, and it's just the right size, and the brightness is blindingly bright, so i think probably don't even need to use Turbo Mode. However, the ability to emit powerful light is also attractive because it can be used if necessary.
I haven't used it for a long time yet, so I don't know how long it will last, but I'm sure it's an object that will attract users in a pretty useful and functional way. The only flaw is that the light head's heat generation is as strong as the intensity of light compared to its small size, so if handle it inadvertently, may suffer body damage from heat.
