“REVIEW”: Wuben TO50R = 21700 battery / 2800 lumens / 4 x LH351D / High CRI / Powerbank function [Pic Heavy]

Amazing review!

Thank you :wink:

To clarify this design philosophy: Multiple clicks are reserved for quick repetitive single-click operations required in light painting (photography) - every click on the power button will turn the light on/off, allowing to quickly click-click-click-click through the scene (enlighten the places needed) without the risk of accidental turbo/strobe that would ruin the photo.
The same applies to the mode switch (W): Two quick clicks is always advancing two modes in the mode cycle, allowing you to easily jump between modes 2 and 4.

One of my favorite light painting artists Hannu Huhtamo (@hannuhuhtamo at IG) has been using the light for some time already and he told me he really likes the precision and control this UI offers. Please check out his work, it’s absolutely amazing! (and note that it’s all done in-camera - no photoshop!!)

Thanks for your input on this _ the_!!
I guess my words may be badly interpreted regarding the “multiple clicks” :wink:
When I mean that is so that people don’t think that we will have “double click for Turbo” or “triple click for strobe” !
Single or sequent clicks and press & hold is what we have in the light and it works perfectly, even for shortcuts!!

Also, thanks for sharing the IG of Hannu, didn’t know it and its quite impressive!! This light surely works well as light painting tool :wink:

BTW, I forgot to mention one thing that I would improve, although it would imply changing some things in the UI:

*> Although it doesn’t bother me much because I don’t lock the light electronically often, having to pass through Strobe to lock the flashlight is somehow awkward. I noticed it when I was testing the flashlight. Maybe using simultaneous press between Power and W Swithces (as the TO46R) could be a better option!* :wink:

Thanks again for your input!! :face_with_monocle:

Great review! I/we have two of these and like them very much. Superb color rendition.

Thanks Don! It is really incredible, specially outdoor :wink:
Not having tint shifts in any levels allows greater detail and rendition as you said!

Glad you also like yours :wink:

A couple of my photography “nut” friends really like the light output. People with experience in printing color photos may have an easier time in grasping color rendition. We were printing color photos at home on paper back in the 70’s.

Anyhow, I am continually amazed at how much better colors appear when walking at night with this light.

I have been wanting one of these and this review just made me NEED one! Thank you for putting this together. It is excellent!

It was not until last sunday that I realized what this light really does in outdoor environment!
So I do get what you say! It is quite amazing to have all the colours bumping into your eyes naturally :wink:

Hey, thanks :wink:
I hope you can one and enjoy it as much as you can !!
This is a great piece!!

BTW, tonight I will try to show some differences between this TO50R and the TO46R that also has high CRI leds (XP-G3 5000K, bought in a Group Buy some months ago).
More than the amount of lumens, I’ll try to show how the colours get under the different leds :wink:

The “Tree of Light” :blush:

(the broader context :slight_smile: )

I’m still looking for one of these at a pricepoint within reach. Seems like such a nice light.

I just broke down and bought one. Message Fin17 for a nice discount.

Hey, I hope you can get a nice deal on one, you won’t regret :slight_smile:

Maybe some affiliate members can get you a nice discount code :wink:

I'm glad you embiggened this photo.

It's very nice.

Thanks RC :wink:
Well, at first I thought it should be smaller for people to click and see it big in another window!
But I realized the first one didn’t have the same meaning without the context!
It was a beautiful autumn afternoon, nature was screamming to be photographed :wink:
Glad you liked it!!!

wuben lights usually go down in list price, fairly soon after release

wle

I hope so cause 100$+ isn't my budget friendly...

Looks like a cool light, but the power button is an instant deal-breaker for me. I know it’ll be impossible to use in the dark with gloves on.

Well, I tried it this morning with some gloves, and indeed it presents some difficulties locating the switch!
In that case, the best tips would be: a) put the clip in the front of the light pointing towards the switches or b) put it in the back diametrically opposed to the switches.

I also must state that the difficulty I had with this light, regarding to finding the switches in the dark without gloves, is no different from the difficulties I had with other lights under the same “experimental” conditions!

Has anyone ever had charging issues with this flashlight?

I am trying to charge the battery inside the flashlight, but I have no “red” light that indicates charging.

I have only used it once or twice, but now I needed it and I am upset it is not charging :zipper_mouth_face:
