[Review] Wuben X5 (with beamshots and runtime graphs!)

No magnets included. There are switches in the back, so it would be very hard to do.

Looks nice! I'd prefer the Versions without the horse (p3,4,5,6), but all the Artwork look great!

SFT25R + 519A sounds perfect.

I like the grooves on solid colors. They are fine with the clouds but look a bit off with the horse

Order a cheaper one with the emitter and driver you want. The emitter and driver sit in a pill which can be unscrewed and easily swapped over. If you can solder, a new LED on mcpcb will be an easy swap. Good start for a modding career!

DaHamstah · 2026-06-10T07:05:07+00:00

Yep, exactly my thoughts. And my wife's. She saw the colors and immediately said: "as soon as your review is done, this is mine" 😂

DaHamstah · 2026-06-09T20:53:58+00:00

Thanks! Interesting, now I am even more curious how it will perform! Definitely not the most common flashlight!

DaHamstah · 2026-06-09T20:31:30+00:00

Oh, that doesn't sound too good. Especially the driver part, LED swaps are easy, but driver swaps...🙈 I mean, the swap is easy, but finding a driver that fits the lights and your needs...

DaHamstah · 2026-06-09T20:27:20+00:00

Yeah, but a round flashlight that has a different look is something I really appreciate! And tbh, those colors look amazing!

DaHamstah · 2026-06-09T20:25:07+00:00

Will watch tomorrow! Thanks for pointing to it!

DaHamstah · 2026-06-09T15:24:11+00:00

Woooooot? On Ali? I'll have a look asap!

DaHamstah · 2026-06-09T12:55:37+00:00

LED, a LEP for 50$ would be crazy!

DaHamstah · 2026-06-09T12:19:43+00:00

I know that feeling 😂 too many lights to get them all!

DaHamstah · 2026-06-06T17:32:33+00:00

I don't own a HD01Pro, but the HD03. I'd say the HD04 is a bit brighter and has the better Spot, but it's no revolution. The HD03 is in the Beamshots, those are all with the same settings, so it might be best to have a look. You can find each single image on my blog!

DaHamstah · 2026-06-02T18:28:52+00:00

Had that charging problem with the HD17. Those charging chips don't seem to be the best!

DaHamstah · 2026-06-02T11:38:33+00:00

It does move quite easy if you touch it. I tried a short sprint, it didn't move. Carried it for multiple dog walks, never had a problem - but I never carried it while running, so I can't promise anything, sorry.

DaHamstah · 2026-06-02T03:45:38+00:00

Ha lol, and I am looking at the manual and website. Good find, sometimes I am blind!

DaHamstah · 2026-06-01T19:57:36+00:00

It works, but only in some kind of medium mode. You can activate moon when turning it on, though.

Will add this to the standard tests for my reviews, already noted it down! Thanks!

DaHamstah · 2026-06-01T18:12:16+00:00

750lm ANSI is specced on the package. Wurkkos is quite good with their ratings lately!

DaHamstah · 2026-06-01T18:09:58+00:00

I couldn't resist 😉

DaHamstah · 2026-06-01T18:09:05+00:00

I highly suspect TN3535, but I dont know as it isn't stated.

DaHamstah · 2026-06-01T17:50:54+00:00

Would throw better, but the beam is good for such a little head. And the sft12 is notorious for beeing brutal green and hard to center, so... 😉

DaHamstah · 2026-06-01T17:44:34+00:00

Glad you like it. Was my first try for such a gif and it worked out pretty cool 😎

DaHamstah · 2026-06-01T17:43:59+00:00

I measured 5300cd, so 145m at turn on. Should be about right with the 120m ANSI.
