Story

As creators experienced in crowdfunding campaigns, we’re thrilled to unveil our latest creation: the Wuben X3 EDC flashlight. This cutting-edge innovation represents the culmination of our expertise from three successful projects. Meticulously crafted through comprehensive market research and analysis of buyer needs, the X3 incorporates the finest elements of our previous endeavors while introducing bold advancements, resulting in our most remarkable EDC flashlight yet.

X3 redefines what a mini flashlight can do. Packed with cutting-edge technology and thoughtful design in its compact body, it lets you experience a whole new level of upgrade in both appearance and functionality.

Please note only the white variant of X3 comes with the glow-in-the-dark feature.

  • 180° Rotating Head: Straight to Right Angle Adjustable

X3 takes versatility to new heights with its 180° swivel head. It allows you to direct the beam exactly where you need it. Whether you’re holding it or have it clipped to your hat or jacket pocket, it provides flexible illumination in every situation.

  • Hands-Free Brilliance

Integrating valuable insights from our previous projects, including the beloved magnetic tail cap feature of the X0, we proudly reintroduce the magnetic base in the X3. Featuring a clip, magnetic base, and a remarkable rotating head at the same time, the X3 caters to all your lighting needs whether you’re fixing your car, navigating a dark trail, setting up camp, or working on a DIY project.

  • Portable Wireless Charging Anytime, Anywhere

Say goodbye to the hassle of replacing batteries or searching for charging cables. X3 comes with a wireless charging box that serves as a charging solution and a protective case. Simply place the X3 in the box and it will always be ready when you need it.

X3 is also compatible with many other wireless chargers, like the ones you use for your phone or in your car.

  • Seamless Transform

The diffuser on the box transforms X3’s powerful beam into a softer, more ambient light, making it the perfect camping lantern, tent light, or bedside nightlight.

  • Impressive 100+ Days Battery Life

With a single charge, the X3 boasts an impressive 30-day runtime in low mode, assuming you use it for 1-2 hours per day, and when paired with its 3000mAh charging box, it extends to 100+ days. The enhanced battery life lets you experience the confidence that comes with knowing your flashlight is always ready to shine. Please note that actual battery life may vary depending on the lighting modes used.

  • Innovative Charging Lanyard – Charging & Carrying All in One

Our previous model, the X2, received rave reviews and praise for its innovative charging lanyard. We’ve carried forward this smart design into X3! It does more than just securing your X3 and the box for easy carrying or usage. It also transforms your X3 into a hanging lantern in an instant. You can easily suspend the X3 from a tent ceiling or tree branch to provide wide-area illumination just like a traditional electric light.

The charging lanyard seamlessly complements the power bank functionality of the charging box. You can charge your other devices on the go, eliminating the need for additional power banks and charging cables. Now carry less and do more!

  • Get Rid of Accidental Activation

Accidental activation can cause chaos for both flashlights and the pockets they inhabit. With the presence of the charging box, not only is your X3 safeguarded from potential scratches, but it also maintains a stable state. Now, you can toss it into your backpack without any worries about accidental activation or unnecessary battery drain.

  • Breathing Light

The built-in breathing light gives your X3 a distinctive character. Whether you’re using the X3 or charging it, the breathing light activates, enabling you to locate your X3 swiftly in the dark. To conserve power, you can easily turn off the breathing light by pressing the switch five times in a row.

  • Glow in the Dark

The White X3 variant brings an extra touch of coolness with its green night light. The glow also allows you to locate your X3 with ease, even in the darkest of nights. It sets the White X3 apart from typical pitch-black torches and is certain to catch many eyes and elicit appreciation from all around. Important notice: Only the white variant of X3 comes with the glow-in-the-dark feature.

  • Screen Display

Breaking free from outdated power displays, the X3 introduces a revolutionary mini screen that provides a visual representation of the power and lumen level. This innovative feature grants you an enhanced, intuitive understanding of the X3’s status, delivering an unparalleled user experience.

  • Bold Material & Design

To make the X3 as light as possible, we’ve used PC material, which is expertly CNC machined and moulded. This bold choice allows the X3 to maintain a metallic line feel, while weighing in at a mere 70g. It’s the perfect balance of lightweight design and robust feel.

It’s also about aesthetics. The internal structure and coils of the X3 are slightly visible through the translucent feature light body, giving it a unique appearance that sets it apart from other EDC gadgets.

Also known as The Owl, the Wuben X3 EDC Flashlight is inspired not only by the animal’s appearance but also its exceptional night vision. Owls are recognized for their incredible night vision – a trait we wanted to emulate in our flashlight. With the Wuben X3, we aim to bring a superior lighting experience to every user, much like an owl’s exceptional nocturnal sight.

  • Brighter isn’t Always Better

Having garnered decades of experience in the flashlight industry and heeding the valuable input of outdoor enthusiasts, flashlight collectors, and night workers, we’ve realized that a compact EDC flashlight need not blindly chase after brightness. We understand that the preferred brightness range for most users is from moonlight to medium lumens. With a strong focus on enhancing user experience, we introduce high CRI white light (Samsung LH351D) and red light options. These choices not only provide practical and high-quality illumination but also preserve night vision, delivering a superior lighting experience.

  • What is CRI?

CRI, or Color Rendering Index, is a measurement of a light source’s ability to accurately reproduce the colors of objects compared to a natural light source, such as sunlight. CRI values range from 0 to 100, with higher values indicating better color accuracy. Check out the contrast photo and a video on Reddit to see the difference. The X3’s white light with a 90+ CRI will reveal more accurate colors, enhancing your visual experience and reducing eye strain.

  • Discover the Power of Red Light

While red light may not be the usual choice for many, its unique benefits are worth experiencing. The X3’s red light provides a whole new lighting experience that becomes essential in your life. It’s less disruptive to your eyes’ adaptation to darkness, making it ideal for stargazing, wildlife observation, and tactical scenarios. Additionally, it’s less noticeable to insects, reducing the chance of unwanted attention during outdoor activities.

  • Dual White LEDs

For those who need that extra bit of brightness, we also provide a dual white light option. Equipped with two Osram P9 LEDs, the X3 boasts a stellar maximum output of 1200 lumens. This brightness empowers you to stride with confidence, even in the darkest of conditions.

  • Adaptable to Any Situation

Both versions of the Wuben X3 offer a range of lighting modes to suit any circumstance. Freely choose from Low, Medium, High, Turbo, Strobe, and SOS modes to find the perfect level of illumination for your current environment.

  • Effortless Operation

The X3 is designed with a user-friendly interface that simplifies operation. With just one hand and one button, you can switch between modes in a breeze.

With an IP65 waterproof rating, the X3 ensures reliable performance even in adverse weather conditions.

Drop Test

The X3 is a fantastic choice for those looking for a high-quality flashlight that caters to their personal style. It comes in four attractive colors, including classic black, sleek white, camouflage green, and glacier blue. The camo green is perfect for nature lovers, as it blends seamlessly with the natural environment during outdoor adventures. Meanwhile, the glacier blue captures the serene beauty of icy landscapes and reflects the tranquil hues of a calm sea or clear sky. These unique colors don’t just add style to your gear; they also remind you of the breathtaking vistas and tranquil moments nature has to offer.In addition to its stylish design, the X3 caters to the needs of women, who often find themselves overlooked in the flashlight market. The majority of flashlights are designed with men in mind, but the X3 is different. It offers a great blend of functionality and design, making it an excellent choice for anyone looking for a mini flashlight that matches their style. The glacier blue color is particularly appealing and offers a combination of practicality and aesthetics that will appeal to any user.

  • Why Crowdfunding?

Some of you may wonder: why do you launch a new product on crowdfunding platforms since you are already a mature company? The more creative and different the design, the more unfamiliar it is to the mass market. Launching a new project here is more than just fundraising, the feedback we received, the experience we learned and the product validation process are more valuable to us. It was also through our early adopters on the last project that we know how we can improve it in the future, including the pocket clip, tailcap, way to replace the battery and even how to modify the user manual.
