This flashlight has 12,000 lumens?! Wuben X1 

I can't reveal details yet... but... I am currently testing the X3 and can't wait to share my review!! Stay tuned. ;)

Not bad at all. Yes, the batteries are removable. I ended up taking it apart after a couple of people commented about it

Thank you! After several people commented about the non-removable batteries, I went ahead and took the back plate off. It has two 21700 batteries that can be replaced.

I just looked into that. You are right, both of the 21700 batteries have 4,800 mAh, so the total the flashlight has is 9600 mAh. www.wubenlight.com/products/wuben-abd21700-4800mah-rechargeable-battery-with-protected-board

The batteries are running in series I believe so the total is only 4800mah at 7.2V.

@@ytr4 youre right, i was wrong, the image on website shows series connection, to increase output voltage.....so capacity is limited...

Awesome!

The look of these flashlights are definitely one of the better selling points. The 7 modes that can be engineered allows you to choose the approximate lumens of each setting. Like you can choose between 20-400 lumens for eco mode, 400-1000 lumens for low mode, etc. You can not add mode or slow strobe though.

@@FittoSurvive which is a lot of energy, so if it could be used as a powerbank that would be good, customisable strobe rate would be great, even better bluetooth, this is just asking for tripod mounting, so bluetooth to activate and configure would be awesome, the most needed feature, tripod screw mount hole, with the flat base its just asking for it...

@@neoaliphant If it worked as a power bank, that would have been super convenient.

Yes, it is odd and unfortunate that they did not make the batteries easier to replace. I am tempted to open the tail end of the flashlight and see what's inside. 😁 So, I did open it up after all. It has two Wuben branded 21700 batteries that do not need to be soldered or anything. So, they are replaceable. 👍🏻

@@FittoSurvive but doesn't opening the flashlight void the warranty?

@@michaelkeller5008 In the manual it says to replace the battery when it no longer holds a charge. But at the same time, it says not to disassemble... 🤔

@@FittoSurvive ah yeah, i see. the typical "it was the customers fault"-clause: wrong if you do it, wrong if you don't... ;)

@@michaelkeller5008 😅 Could be.

You can actually remove them the fact is that you have to unscrew 4 screws to remove the 2 batteries inside

@@Alessandro-tf5xh i thought so, but not only is your warranty voided afterwards, it’s unclear if you need to solder them in. It’s a bad practice, and shouldn’t be rewarded by buying that stuff, at least in my book….

Since you are not the first person to comment about the non removable/ non replaceable batteries. I went ahead and unscrewed the 4 screws on the back of the flashlight. Inside is two Wuben branded 21700 batteries. They are not soldered and could easily be replaced. This does make me wonder why they do not advise disassembling the flashlight though... 🤔 Good news, the batteries can be replaced. 😁👍🏻

You are correct.

I just read the instruction manual again, under "maintenance" it does mention replacing the battery. And it doesn't say that the warranty will be voided.
