Today I am taking a look inside the Wuben factory in China to see how flashlights are made. Thank you Edison, Mr Tan and Wuben for being extremely welcoming and for the opportunity.

The Wuben X3 prototype that I received has a white Samung LH351D emitter and a red 670nm emitter. There are some nice features: a display, wireless charging, two blue aux lights at the back, a glow-in-the-dark case and magnets. A charging case was also included.

The Acebeam H16 Gray headlamp has a Cool White emitter. It is also available in a Black version with a high CRI Nichia 519A emitter.

The Wuben X1 is the bigger brother of the Wuben X2 and it is capable of producing 10,000+ lumens. It even has a fan with a heatsink to keep it cool!

I mentioned the Weltool W4Pro, because the beam can reach over 3km, and liteshop.com.au kindly offered to send it to me. No strings attached. No review required. Just, wow… (jaw drop) 😲

I like how manufacturers like Acebeam are taking note of enthusiasts modifying their torches and giving us more pocket thrower options.

I noticed a new EDC range of torches by Wuben appear on Kickstarter. This range is particularly unique because they have moved away from the traditional cyclindrical shape and opted to build EDC torches in the shape of a rectangle.

Australian hospitals and emergency services are still divulging sensitive patient details in 2023! 🤦
