WUBEN Flashlight X4

The X4 pairs a main beam rated up to 1,500 lumens with side lighting that includes RGB colors. That gives you more ways to light a campsite, path, or small work area than a basic single-beam flashlight.

A scroll wheel adjusts main-light brightness and changes side-light colors. The tail switch can bring up the main light quickly when you need it.

If you prioritize a compact light with several lighting options, this setup has appeal, if you prefer a simpler flashlight with fewer controls, the X4 may feel like more than you need.

Getting the most from it

Choose among the lock, side-light, main-light, and moonlight settings with the slide switch. In main-light mode, the scroll wheel adjusts brightness, in side-light mode, it changes color, and a double-click activates flashing for the selected color. That gives the RGB feature a practical use for making a person or pet easier to spot in the dark, rather than leaving it as decoration.

For a hands-free task, attach the magnetic tail to a metal surface and point the light where you need it. The pocket clip can also secure the flashlight to a cap, belt, or backpack strap. Picture checking equipment at a campsite: the magnet can hold the light while both hands are free, while the tail switch offers a quick way to activate the main beam.

The main light is rated up to 1,500 lumens, with a beam distance listed up to 205 meters. Side lighting ranges from 1 to 100 lumens and includes warm light and RGB options. These figures describe the available output, but the listing doesn’t provide a runtime, so it’s hard to plan how long a charge will last without that measurement.

Why it’s worth it

The useful distinction here is flexibility. Rather than carrying a separate small area light and a brighter handheld beam, you get main and side lighting in one compact body. The magnetic base, clip, and tail switch add options for campsite use, nighttime walks, emergency lighting, and repairs.

USB-C charging is listed as taking 1.5 hours for a full charge. The flashlight can also run in moonlight mode while charging. Its listed weight is 137 g (4.8 oz), and its dimensions are 1.5 x 1 x 3.8 inches (3.8 x 2.6 x 9.5 cm), useful details if pocket size and carry weight matter to you. The listing describes it as waterproof but doesn’t state a rating, so it doesn’t give enough information to judge its suitability for a particular level of water exposure.

Key takeaways

• Multiple light settings, including adjustable main brightness and RGB side lighting.
• A magnetic tail and pocket clip support hands-free placement or carry.
• USB-C charging, the built-in battery is sealed and cannot be removed.
• The slide switch has a lock setting. Use it when the flashlight is stored to help prevent accidental activation.

You’ll appreciate it if you want one rechargeable light for walking, camping, and occasional hands-free tasks. It’s not for you if you need a replaceable battery or want a stated runtime to plan longer outings.

Should you buy it?

The WUBEN X4 makes sense if you’ll use its mix of a brighter main beam, adjustable side light, RGB signaling, and magnetic attachment. It offers more versatility than a straightforward single-beam light, but that flexibility comes with extra controls and a non-removable battery. Choose it for adaptable everyday and outdoor illumination, look elsewhere if a swappable cell, a documented runtime, or a clearly stated waterproof rating is essential to your decision.
