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.

The flashlight features a three-way rotating mount that allows you to clip it to a cap, backpack straps, or work clothing. The head can be rotated 180 degrees, enabling you to precisely aim the light beam. It includes a 2-in-1 lock mechanism for quick-release and charging port protection. A magnetic base lets you securely attach the flashlight to metal surfaces. There’s also a lanyard hole on the body.

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.

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 pants pocket, I use it every day, and the battery is sufficient for daily use. Very sturdy, it often falls out of my pocket and apart from the paint coming off, the lamp keeps its integrity without getting loose or losing performance. I am 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.
