One of our departments named Wuben Lab which is dedicated to the design and production of unconventional flashlights in the future. To have a better exploration of this, we really need to get more support and recognition. And that's why we choose Kickstarter at first.
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.
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).
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.
