Excellent flashlight, solid and well built. It isn’t small and has some weight to it, but that reinforces the impression of sturdiness. If you don’t click immediately but let a brief moment pass, the flashlight returns to the last setting used when switched back on (many comments were specifically lamenting the lack of a beam “memory” feature). All that remains is for me to put it to the test, including underwater (in moderation!).
Wuben L50 Flashlight 1200 Lumens
The flashlight with an efficient Osram P9 LED generates a beam of up to 1200 lumens and an effective range of up to 200 meters. In the lowest 5-lumen mode, it runs continuously for 143 hours.
Aluminum body, IP68 protection rating
The aluminum body with an anodized finish features a non-slip texture. An O-ring sealing system ensures full waterproofness of the connections. The LED is protected by hardened glass resistant to mechanical damage and thermal shock.
The flashlight meets the IP68 protection standard, which means full protection against dust ingress and prolonged immersion in water to a depth of up to 2 m for 60 minutes, and it also offers resistance to drops from heights of up to 1.5 m in accordance with the ANSI standard.
Control electronics
The flashlight is powered by advanced electronics that control the current draw directed to the LED. Thanks to this, the flashlight shines in the selected mode with constant output until the battery is fully discharged. The spring is protected against oxidation and corrosion with a layer of gold, and the trapezoidal thread reduces wear on the edges, which translates into a longer service life for the flashlight.
18650 batteries, charge level indicator
The L50 model is powered by the included 18650 Li-Ion battery with a capacity of 2500 mAh. Cells of this type are distinguished by stable operation over a wide temperature range and do not show a tendency to self-discharge, which makes them well suited for a flashlight intended for military, police, rescue, and survival use. The charge level indicator provides information about the battery status.

This is a USB-C rechargeable flashlight and it delivers exactly what’s advertised. There is, however, one issue I’d call significant. As you cycle through the brightness levels with the rear button, the light has no memory of where you last left it — turn it off and back on, and it won’t return to that setting. That means you can switch it on and suddenly get a far stronger beam than expected. Depending on when and where that happens, it ranges from harmless to genuinely inconvenient, and either way it introduces an element of uncertainty. Ideally it would let you double-press straight into moonlight mode, so you always know what you’re starting in, or at minimum resume at the last-used level. It would have been three stars without that; thinking it over, it’s two, because there isn’t much more to it than a USB-C charging flashlight — which is good as far as it goes. Better luck next time, Wuben.

A durable, small flashlight with well-crafted details. The beam of light is very good. I am satisfied with the purchase, though I haven't tested its resistance to dust and moisture yet. It's possible I will buy another one for my dad.

The flashlight is strong and compact. Its casing is sturdy and carefully made of aluminum. Once you get familiar with the basics, using it is not difficult. The battery has satisfactory durability.
