Re : Review Wuben E05 14500/AA 900 Lumen Rechargeable XPL 2 Flashlight

I desire pictures

Did you deep-fry it? As in hot oil, french-fries, the works? No? Then it doesn’t count. :laughing:

Dunno, I like my lights, so the worst I do to them is give them stern looks.

I just got mine the other day and it’s quite impressive for its size. Wish the diffuser glowed in the dark after the light is turned off though. I was under the impression it did.

You know what? I forgot that test. I will try it out in my next light review. Btw, light will taste like french fries flavor. Ha ha.

I wish I can. I am not a PRO like a lot of reviewers with top notch equipment.

E05 looks like 1000 lumens. So impressive. I like it a lot, minus the titnt like everyone else.

And since there are a lot of comments about the tint on the E05, I can show that while it has a lot of tint shift and green throughout, E05 could be much worse like this Skylumen D4S which is totally green. Outside the Wuben is pretty white while that Skylumen is hopelessly horrid green.

Thanks for the kind words. I wanted to contribute to this great hobby. Any company need lights reviewed? Please send them my way.

I hope to someday produce my own flashlight. I have Engineering degree I can put to good use. Other than my paying job. LOLZ.

Cell phone cameras work just fine for picture taking.

Not if you fo not have latest and greatest phone out there.

I might have to dig out my camera once I find it.

I do not have lumen meter. BUT this light measures up to my Powertac, Olight, Nitecore, Home Depot, etc…. rated at 1000 lumens easy.

Any way to take out the magnet in the tail cap?

Blinded by the light.

I guess the retaining ring on the tail can be unscrewed to be removed. Those 2 grooves, maybe you can try to unscrew it with nose some pliers or pointu tweezers!

With a Luxeon V (right), beam and tint improve :wink: There are some artifacts, still, but I can live with those! A piece of diffuser would help reducing that, but it also diminishes the “throw”!

Asked because one web page mentioned possibly by removing a “divot”, but I don’t see any such thing.

My pleasure…… Good luck on producing your own light brand!!

Maybe one day that can be your “paying job”!! :+1: … :wink:

It seems something like this:

Some flashlight manufactures ( Prometheus or Malihini) use some custom tools to (un)screw the modules that make that “divot” effect:

Those are customized tools, but we, budget people, use nose pliers :smiley: (at least I do :stuck_out_tongue: )

Think leave well enough alone rather than risking scraping the surface. Thanks for the pics.

What emitters did you get in the D4Svn? If you got Samsungs its no wonder its green.

I have an E05 and its a nice light, but mine has a donut hotspot that seems to be driving me nuts.
