X1Pro: New and particularly powerful flashlight. (Image source: Wuben)
The Wuben X1Pro is a new and very bright flashlight that can also be used as a power bank, and comes with replaceable batteries. A cooling system is also on board.
Wuben is offering a new flashlight, the X1Pro, that doubles as a power bank as part of a crowdfunding campaign. Supporters can secure or “pre-order” a unit for at least $119 plus shipping, but should keep in mind the risks of crowdfunding campaigns, including the possibility that the product may not make it to market or may not function as advertised.
Powerful flashlight with two LEDs
The X1Pro is advertised as a very powerful flashlight with a maximum brightness of 13,000 lumens. In principle, there are two individual flashlights: a floodlight LED for illuminating larger areas and an LED for illuminating smaller areas. Unsurprisingly, users can choose between different modes and do not always have to operate at full power and use both lamps. For example, if users limit themselves to the floodlight and a brightness of 10 lumens, the manufacturer claims a runtime of up to 365 hours. The range is stated as up to 377 meters.
Doubles as power bank
The Wuben X1 Pro, measuring 59.6 x 29.5 x 138 millimeters, weighs approximately 242 grams without the battery and 383 grams with it. Included in the package are two 21700 batteries, each with a capacity of 4,800 mAh. These batteries are replaceable. The flashlight can also be used as a power bank and is said to be able to charge an iPhone 17 Pro twice. It supports a charging power of 15 watts, and the flashlight’s batteries can be recharged at up to 30 watts via USB-C. Furthermore, a smart cooling system is advertised, which makes uses of a repleaceable rotating fan. Lastly, the flashlight meets IP65 standards, meaning that it should be dustproof and protected against water jets.

I have been active as a journalist for over 10 years, most of it in the field of technology. I worked for Tom’s Hardware and ComputerBase, among others, and have been working for Notebookcheck since 2017. My current focus is particularly on mini PCs and single-board computers such as the Raspberry Pi – so in other words, compact systems with a lot of potential. In addition, I have a soft spot for all kinds of wearables, especially smartwatches. My main profession is as a laboratory engineer, which is why neither scientific contexts nor the interpretation of complex measurements are foreign to me.

Growing up in regional Australia, I first became acquainted with computers in my early teens after a broken leg from a football (soccer) match temporarily condemned me to a predominately indoor lifestyle. Soon afterwards I was building my own systems. Now I live in Germany, having moved here in 2014, where I study philosophy and anthropology. I am particularly fascinated by how computer technology has fundamentally and dramatically reshaped human culture, and how it continues to do so.
