X-0 Knight is LIVE on Kickstarter now!

Interesting. Most of my right angled lights serve double duty as headlamps. This doesn’t appear to come with a headband and if it does, I’m curious how one would go about aiming it. Even clipped to a pack or shirt placket, changing the direction of the beam doesn’t appear to be an option.

This looks extremely interesting! I love that the cell is replaceable but the light is kept compact. That's the point of this light really, a big tail cap with springs would kinda defeat the purpose imo.

Here's two questions I'd love to get answered by Wuben:

1) Is the bezel around the TIR optic glued? Or can it be unscrewed with enough force?

2) What is the user interface like? Is it one click for on, one for off? And if so, is there a lockout mode? I'd love to see either double click for on, or a lockout mode that requires three or four clicks to lock/unlock.

I’m 100% sure with was 50k before!

I do not like the P9 as well, but I like the light and I’ll swap the LED with what I prefer.

The heck? Seems like they changed the stretch goal hoping no one would notice. This doesn’t make me confident in ever reaching the Samsung LED option… Maybe I’ll just buy the H5 instead.

Wuben is probably going for the right-angled EDC niche with this washing-machine-looking thing. Wuben’s H5 does those things with the same LED (assuming the stretch goal isn’t reached).

I’ve backed a white one based on one information I wish Wuben will respect: they will ask us if we want a P9 or a LH351D. If only cool white will be available, I don’t want to back this project.

Yes, you can choose it! The LH351D is available as an option when reaching our first expansion goal!

Pavlo:

Very cool light. Are the outputs constant current regulated? I agree with others, mode spacing is not very good. The jump from 1 to 50 lumens is 50x increase, and from 150-250 lumens is less than 2x increase. Something like 1, 10, 75, 250 would make way more sense.

X-0 has a programming model:

In the following corresponding gear, double-click and press the W button without letting go, the brightness can be gradually cycled in the zone. The light flashes once when it reaches the pole, and release to lock the current brightness.

Moon 1-15 Lumens

Low 15-50 Lumens

Med 50-150 Lumens

High 150-300 Lumens

Hi there,

1) Yes the bezel can be unscrewed.

2) One-click for on and one for off. Four clicks to lock/unlock.

In fact, we have not yet announced our first stretch goal.

We keep adjusting since we still need to consider various factors at the moment.

But we will soon release the final version of our stretch goal, and there will be an additional project in addition to LED.

Stay tuned please!

Wow, that is unexpected and VERY nice!

it also renders many complaints about mode spacing mute. Well done.

I hope this means what I think it is implying

This looks like a unique and interesting light. I’ll probably grab one once they are up for sale.

This is great!

When the bezel is unscrewed, can you easily access the Led? Is the Led on a standard mcpcb or is it integrated with the driver board?

Yes, the LED is on a standard MCPCB and is independent of the driver board.

We’ll be uploading a video of how to replace the battery soon. Stay tuned!

Well that looks easy enough, just not very convenient. Perhaps a normal tailcap that can be unscrewed by hand could be sold as an optional accessory?

Wuben Lab sounds interesting…you guys always make good products. I’ll keep an eye out for future projects!

I dont see any inconvenience here. Simply pressing the tailcap down on a grippy surface(like a sheet of shelf paper or silicone) seens like it would do it. Heck, maybe even just your palm.

Pavlo · 2022-06-23T11:41:07.000Z

Do you have an output graph to show the regulation of high mode?

Nice.

Pretty nice regulation actually. Nice! The kickstarter looks to be reaching the stretch goal for the Samsung LED as well — backed.

Thank you so much for your support!

Strange graph… Why not to switch to lower level when voltage drops?
