Wuben
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- Best budget: Wuben, CONVOV, Sofirn. ... Wuben tends to be more durable and cheaper than Sofin
- Ive been enjoying mine though at my job I only need a bit of light ocassionally throughout my shift. Its small enough to carry in my pocket all the time and the flat shape is comfortable. Being able to charge it at work saves me from buy...
Cons
- most of the Wuben stuff is garbage anyways - no surprise here.
- The Wuben could have been so great with a few different design choices, but they missed the mark with that one. It's still totally fine though, it is versatile.
- In the meantime, I've tried various flashlights like Wuben , Loop, etc. but I'm dissatisfied with all of them. They're too fiddly to use, too bulky, the materials feel cheap, etc.
- Wuben Quality control isn't always the best.
- Ruled out Wuben, but otherwise i cant discern whats reliable, tough, big and bright (camping, outdoors etc).

Ive been enjoying mine though at my job I only need a bit of light ocassionally throughout my shift. Its small enough to carry in my pocket all the time and the flat shape is comfortable. Being able to charge it at work saves me from buying batteries. Ill admit its a tad funky in the hand but is more comfortable in the pocket where it spends more time.
Wuben got on my blacklist when they were shipping Kickstarter orders to people who bought on Amazon instead of fulfilling Kickstarter orders.
Wuben got itself on my blacklist by selling my data to Imalent for marketing purposes.
But the bad order fulfillment going direct to them is turning me off bigtime
