Wuben E05 
Does it really take 2 seconds (long press) to turn it off? That’s what I’ve read in one review. If so, that would be a huge annoyance to me personally.
I vote for the Wuben also. The one I have (after I put on the DC- Fix) is a great little light. Use it in the warehouse daily and on early morning or late evening walks. Plenty bright on the middle two settings and the turbo is nice when you need it. I just charge it every week whether it needs it or not.
I think I would like the UI better on that TLF edition better (probably the tint and CRI also) but it’s too expensive to get it here in the USA. As it is, I got the standard version for 1/2 off, which is great since it comes with a 14500 battery!
Maybe not quite two seconds. It was annoying at first but you quickly adjust to it. Hardly notice it now.
Still, it is longer than turning off the Manker E11 or the Sofirn SP10A/B!
That is the real only con for me!
The other puzzling thing that I asked about and never got an answer is runtimes on alkaline vs NiMH. According to Wuben, runtimes on alkalines are twice as long as on NiMH. I find that strange.
NiMh runtime may be due to low-voltage cutoff. If the cutoff voltage is too high, the NiMh won't be using nearly its full capacity. This is a hidden problem with NiMh in many devices.
I can put a fresh charge on a NiMh and put it through a run time test. Do you want all modes or just one or two in particular? I don’t buy Alky’s anymore but I wouldn’t mind seeing about the NiMh.
I’d be interested in the LOW mode. Thanks.
Alrighty, it’s running. I’ll report back many hours from now I presume. 
That would be much appreciated - for low and med if possible.
I’d rec that one too, except the OP asked specifically for a side e-switch. Still a great pick to consider in case horizons are broadened.
No problem, I will run it on Med after the Low one is complete.
A follow-up on the NiMh vs Alkaline thing, just as an example Olight rates a longer runtime for NiMh on the i3E. Very interested in the test outcome now, lol.
Thank you.
According to Wuben, runtime on LOW (1 lm) on NiMH is only 25 hours, which in itself seems unusually short. For comparison, Utorch UT01, which also claims 1 lm on low, will run 3 times as long.
Sounds like everyone really likes the Wuben. Its got to be good with this many recommendations.
The Wuben is a good little light, I own it. However The gap between high and Turbo is too big! I like my Lumintop EDC05 a little better. Also own the Lumintop Tool AA v2 and like it a lot. Another great light that I own several is the NICRON N7. Great little light with decent throw. I also bought a $5 Zebra light headband. Now I have a great headlamp!! Out of all my 14500 lights the Wuben is my least Favorite. Thats why I only own 1 and own several of the others.
I’ve thought about that one. I’ve heard there were switch problems. Was that resolved? Does yours have it? When did you get it?
Thanks and sorry for all the questions.
I also heard of switch problems with the EDC05 but i tend to be leaning more towards that light, mainly because of the adjustable levels and the 800 lumen output.
Okay, on low, with a Amazon Basics NiMh, the grey and green one, 2400mah cell. LVP kicked in and shut it down after 54 hours 25 minutes.
I shall recharge the cell and let’er rip on Med.
