Review of the Wuben G5 Army Green flashlight - 400 lumens. Tested during night fishing. The rotating head is a very practical solution. The brightness adjustment is perfect 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. Great for reading in the tent at night, it doesn't disturb others with the light (though I wouldn't recommend it, as it may not be healthy). The price could be a bit lower (about 100 PLN). Small, but a very useful gadget.

Review summary
The Wuben G5 is widely praised as a compact, versatile EDC flashlight that delivers strong light for its size. Users highlight its solid build, light weight, rotating head, adjustable brightness, clip, magnet, and extra RGB and signal modes. The built-in USB-C rechargeable battery adds convenience, and battery life is considered good for everyday use, although it drops faster on the highest setting. It works well at home, in the car, on walks, in a tent, and during small repairs, especially when hands-free use matters. The most common drawbacks are the learning curve for the many modes, occasional complaints about magnet or clip strength, and the view that the price or peak output could be better for more demanding users.

I’ve had it for about a year and I use it in various situations. The battery life is quite decent, and charging is quick. In my opinion, the coloured LED could shine more brightly, and the magnet itself could also be stronger. I also had one issue — it seemed that the main button had oxidised, and I had to press it several times before the device turned on, but after some time everything went back to normal.
-
It does the job, but it's nothing amazing, Tiny, with no real grip after it lights up in several colors. At least my son is happy, so in the end he got a little lamp.
-
I bought this flashlight thinking it would be more of a fun gadget and wouldn’t turn out to be very practical, but I quickly found that it actually works really well, as my recent trips confirmed. I can recommend it to anyone looking for something small and not expecting maximum power, although it’s certainly not lacking in that respect either.
-
A small and convenient flashlight with a very practical clip for attaching it to clothing. It offers excellent brightness adjustment as well as additional warning light modes. It will permanently stay in my bag because it will certainly prove useful during nighttime walks. I will always keep it within reach so that it can come in handy in any situation. If good battery life is also confirmed, it will be an ideal product for many years.

Small, yet very functional. I bought it as emergency equipment for the car. It is lightweight, so once attached to the fender with a magnet, it should not leave any marks. Thanks to its compact size, it does not take up much space. The battery really does not need to be large and heavy, because this is not equipment for long trips, but a practical solution for quick use. If I could change anything, I would choose a more visible color than black, so it would be easier to find in the glove compartment. I recommend it.

The Wuben G5 flashlight has been my favorite ever since I got my hands on it. Because of its size, I was a bit skeptical about its light output, but I was pleasantly surprised. It has incredibly high brightness, even though it really is only about the same size as my Zippo lighter. It works great; we have already been through a night fishing trip together. Thanks to its rotating head, adjustable-position clip, and strong magnetic mount, I can set the direction of the light at almost any angle.

Review for the Wuben lamp. G5 Ice Crack and WUBEN G5 Army Green were ordered at the same time. The lamp is of good quality and fairly high-end!!! You can tell that what you are holding in your hand is not just a simple gadget. Bought from a large retail store, metal body, good finish. I recommend this lamp. The only improvement that could be made would be to add a little more lighting power and stronger battery life; otherwise, it is perfect!!!!
-
Great, very compact flashlight in a practical Zippo-sized format that I liked so much I immediately bought a second one. The build quality and metal housing feel premium and sturdy, and it also comes with practical features such as a clip, magnetic base, dimmable main light, RGB LED, battery level indicator, and USB-C charging port. For the price, it’s an all-around excellent product that I can recommend without hesitation.
-
I’ve had this small flashlight for quite some time now, and I’m still delighted with it. The build quality, the number of lighting modes, and the design are excellent. Thanks to the ability to mount it in various ways, it is incredibly versatile. I definitely recommend it, because it’s truly premium class among flashlights.
-
Great little flashlight that is not much bigger than a matchbox but lights up the area like a floodlight. Small and compact but very impressive. This and the X4 are great.
-
When you pick it up, the flashlight 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 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 flashlight packed with handy gadget features. Thanks to its flat design, flexible clip, rotating head, and RGB ambient lights, it is excellent as an emergency flashlight 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 flashlight is quite small. That is its big advantage. I have also already tried and appreciated the possibility of using the magnetic attachment on a metal shelf and in other places.
-
The flashlight is really great, more powerful than expected, but it really packs a punch for its size. At first, you have to get used to how to turn it on or how to switch between light modes, but you figure that out pretty quickly.
