C3 Flashlight 1200 High Lumens Rechargeable Flashlights 6 Modes Super Bright IP68 LED Tactical Flashlight for Camping, Home, Emergency, Rescue, Hunting, Inspection, Repair, Tool Gifts for Men

This torch has a huge light output made available in a useable manner. Pretty much useless to be able see your light shining on an object a kilometre or more away. This torch has good depth but, more importantly, it has an excellent spread to light up whole areas, not just distant objects. Solidly constructed and small enough to carry in a pocket. Strong clip means it can be attached to clothing to minimise the chance of loss. I really like it.

If you told someone you paid $60 or more for this, they’d believe you. Thing is honestly outstanding - esp for the price AND having a USB C charger AND comes with its own battery. A short word on the battery the first reviewer didnt bother to look into - the REASON why this 18650 is slightly longer than ‘standard’ 18650’s is because its a PCB protected battery. It helps protect the raw cell from over and under discharge. Its a GOOD thing, and YES you can buy another battery just like it if you want a spare. You just need a PCB protected 18650 cell it, with a button top it seems. The overall feel and quality of this has me wondering how this sells for only $25 on sale. I especially like the beveled edge on the front. The belt clip is really stout and not “bendable” with reasonable force. Nor does it just pop off as soon as you apply pressure to it. Its has a charging indicator light opposite the charge port that flashes red/green to give you battery status when in use for a few seconds. The tail cap switch seems very nice too, as well as the included lanyard/wrist strap. Theres really nothing bad to say about it at all. It has 4 brightness settings, the highest of which is really impressive for its size. No zoom or focusing lens which honestly i like. You dont need it with this. The strobe setting its extremely bright, and alternates between a fast and really fast pattern. Its blindingly bright. The SOS function is on a low setting - to preserve runtime i assume. Just note, you dont give the switch a full ‘click’ to switch settings. Just a slight tap will let you travel through the settings. 2 fast taps for strobe, 3 fast taps for SOS. Go from the eco to full brightness just with a tap of switch (not a full click) to cycle through those settings. The rubber cover on the charging port seems to fit nice and snug. Not overly tight like some other things i own. I have no intentions of throwing this in water just to see what happens, but something like rain doesnt seem like it have any effect at all. Everything seems sufficiently sealed up - and it does come with 2 extra o rings in the box. I just got mine earlier today and I honestly feel like i got more than my moneys worth. I wouldn’t hesitate if youre considering it. Not much else you can ask for in my opinion, esp at this price point. Way nicer than my older (and smaller) Fenix model that i probably paid more for. Try looking around for a small flashlight with a USB C charger and youll see what your other choices are. This is easily the most for your money, and I’m guessing the newer version of similar Wuben models considering the nicer design and newer type C charger - which is also included BTW. (The cable, not the brick). Just a quick update - i came back and bought another one cause its simply impossible to find a better light at this price in my opinion. My original is carried in my work backpack everyday as a “if i ever need a flashlight”, flashlight. The second i just bought is going in a molle pouch on my SHTF battle belt along with a gun holster, mag pouches, med kit, pepper spray, knife, ect.. its the perfect size for a covered pistol magazine or tool molle pouch. Lithium cells will retain a charge for over a year, and this flashlight it just so well built. The usb c charger promises available chargers will be around for a long time. I have nothing but good things to say about these. Don’t hesitate in purchasing.

This is my 2nd purchase of this one. Plenty of light, enough battery to last way longer than I need. Charges up and stays charged. Perfect for use in my car, and that is where it is. Can charge it in the car using usb-c and then I don't forget to put it back in the car. Nice flashlight!

LIKES: Very compact. Tail cap switch is easy to find in the dark. Five brighteness levels and a good spread of light make it a great torch to use not only around the home, but for camping and bushwalking. The build quality is amazing and comparable to flashlights costing several times the price of a Wuben C3. The supplied battery holds charge really well...in fact I have only charged it once since I bought it a month ago (and I use it everyday). Recharging is easy, via USB-C (no need to remove battery to charge it). DISLIKES: I have honestly tried to think of something I dislike, but cannot find anything. To sum up: I also own a Sofirn SP35 2000 Lumen flashlight, which is also an excellent flashlight. However I find myself mostly reaching for the Wuben C3. The compactness, lighter weight, and the tail cap switch make it an easy choice. For 80% of applications I don't require a 2000 lumens flashlight...but the Sofirn is nice during the limited times I do.

I have to confess- I have a lot of flashlights. Ironically I'm very much not afraid of the dark and will annoy my wife walking around the house without turning lights on sometimes, but while I don't mind the dark when I want to be able to see something in the dark I don't want to be squinting at it and don't want to be hunting for a flashlight forever. It was because of this that I first encountered Wuben's flashlights- a good while ago I backed their Kickstarter for the Knight X-0 flashlight which has been one of my EDC flashlights ever since I got it, and I've since picked up a G-2 keychain flashlight and just received the Kickstarter E-1 MagSafe light. So when I saw that there was a 20% off code for the C3, I figured I wouldn't be disappointed- and I was right. The C3 is a modest bit bigger than what I usually carry around, which is fine- it's still small enough that you can carry it in a pocket fairly easily, but it's large enough that I wouldn't want to carry it all the time under normal circumstances. That extra size though is worth it, since it is BRIGHT. When I first got it, I tested it compared to my X-0 and initially thought that it wasn't much brighter- but when I took them outside and tested them in the dark, the C3 definitely puts out a lot more light. The C3 has a relatively focussed lens- it isn't adjustable, but with the power that the LED has it works well without needing the adjustable focus. One slight thing that I don't like about my X-0 is that if I run the battery down, I'm not going to be able to use it until I recharge it and I was thinking this would be the case with the C3. However, while it is rechargeable, it is quite easy to swap in a fresh battery (assuming you've picked one up and have charged it). It would have been nice to have been able to use standard AA (or AAA) batteries at the cost of brightness in a pinch, but that's definitely a very minor gripe. Not that I expect to be needing to worry about it- with the 2600mAh battery I don't imagine that I'm going to need to recharge it anytime soon, and 18650 batteries aren't too expensive if you do want spares. Like most flashlights these days, it has several different modes you can swap between with the switch- there are 4 brightness levels and a strobe function. It remembers what brightness you last used as well, which is nice. It is a pity it doesn't have a shortcut to the brightest mode like the X-0 does though, but it only takes a second to cycle through the power levels to get to it.
