Review of the Wuben G5 Army Green flashlight - 400 lumens. Tested during night fishing. The rotating head is a very practical solution. Brightness adjustment is ideal for users with different needs. It's worth remembering that the stronger the light, the faster the battery drains, but the flashlight really does the job. A big advantage is the magnet in the holder and the rotating clip. It works perfectly for reading in a tent at night and doesn't disturb others with the light (although I don't recommend it, as it might not be healthy). The price could be slightly lower (around 100 PLN). Small but very useful gadget.
Wuben G5 Black Torch 400 Lumens
A compact torch designed for everyday use in the field, for technical work, and during outdoor activities. Its lightweight, ergonomic design meets the IP65 water resistance standard, offering complete protection against dust ingress and water jets of up to 12.5 litres per minute from any direction. The durable body is shock-resistant from drops of up to 1 metre.
Its compact size and advanced lighting modes make it an ideal auxiliary tool for a wide range of tasks.
Three-way handle, rotatable head
The torch features a three-way, rotating mount that enables you to attach it to a cap, backpack straps, or work clothing. The head rotates through 180 degrees, allowing precise adjustment of the light beam. The 2-in-1 locking mechanism acts as a quick release and as a cover for the charging port. A magnetic base allows for secure attachment of the torch to metal surfaces. The body features a slot for lanyard attachment.
Smooth brightness adjustment, additional RGB LEDs
The torch offers stepless brightness control from 2 to 400 lumens, with a lighting range of up to 82 metres. In white light mode, you can adjust intensity as required, while additional RGB LEDs allow the use of 7 different light colours (Rainbow Single Light) with a 10-lumen output. Flashing modes are also available, including red-blue, red-green and red-yellow.
Built-in battery, charge level indicator
Powered by a built-in lithium-polymer battery with a capacity of 450 mAh, charging is via USB-C port with passthrough function for powering and operating the device simultaneously. The charge level indicator shows battery status, making it easy to manage usage.

When you pick it up, the torch feels solidly built, even though it is small and lightweight. It shines very well and offers many modes, although I use the basic one most often. For its size, it runs for quite a long time, and a big advantage is the built-in rechargeable battery, which can be conveniently charged via USB-C. Combined with a power bank, the runtime can be extended significantly.

Wuben G5 is a practical torch packed with handy gadget features. Thanks to its flat design, flexible clip, rotating head and RGB ambient lights, it is excellent as an emergency torch in the car, for hiking, reading in a tent or small household repairs when you need your hands free. I personally use it for hiking and emergency situations when light is not available. Highly recommended!

The torch is quite small. That is its great advantage. I have also already tried and appreciated the possibility of using the magnetic attachment on a metal shelf and in other places.

The torch is really great, a bit stickier than expected but it has real power for its size. At first, you have to get used to how to turn it on and how to change the light modes, but you quickly figure it out.

The Wuben G5 Black Flashlight is an excellent compact torch that delivers impressive brightness from its 400-lumen output. It's lightweight, easy to carry, and has all the features I need for everyday use. The build quality feels solid, and it's simple to operate, making it a reliable addition to my EDC gear. I've been very pleased with its performance and would happily buy another one in the future.

Very good little lamp, it took me a few days to get used to all the lighting modes, but it instantly found its place in my trouser pocket. I use it every day, and the battery is sufficient for daily use. Very robust, it often falls out of my pocket and apart from some of the paint coming off, the lamp remains intact without getting loose or losing performance. I'm very satisfied.

Very nice, very strong and very small flashlight. At first i was surprised at how small it was that it could be as powerful as it is. Had hard time learning how to change light modes but with the Tiny manual u will learn really Fast.
