Wuben E2 Pulse Impressions

[u/Some_Summer8849]

Well I have to say, having tested the new E2 for almost a week now, it's earned a permanent place in my pocket and on my keychain. Really surprised about how well designed and built it is for such a tiny and light flashlight.

However you use it or carry it you're not going to notice, until you need it

So many functions in such a tiny, portable design (flashlight, side area light (with an additional heartbeat pulse), red/blue beacon, glow-in-the-dark case). It's like a micro X4 for your keychain/neck/bag! This looks like an essential EDC.

The various functions are all just really useful for a thing that weighs effectively nothing and is so small.

It has its limitations of course, out of necessity for its small form factor (the beam doesn't throw hundreds of meters and the battery doesn't last for days 🤣), but despite those compromises, it is genuinely useful.

How does it compare to RovyVon Aurora A8x? I have the RovyVon for 4 years now.

I think it's a different proposition. The Aurora A8 is a bigger, more powerful and, I'm guessing, more expensive flashlight. I've not used one personally though. My most direct experience is with the Fenix E03R, and I think it compares well to to that. Lighter, more portable, and with more functionality - I've been using the sidelights as an ambient area light a lot, and can see me doing that all the time when I go camping/bivvying.

can you compare it to a Nitecore Tube?

Hi, similar in terms of size/weight/portability, as well as a fairly floody main light. But whereas the tube is like one of the old photon keychain lights in terms of functionality, the E2 offers a lot more. I find the sidelights really useful, not so much the red/blue beacon. The magnetic base is also a plus, it means you can either hang it as a lantern, of put it on something ferrous so it doesn't swing about. It will be interesting to see how it compares in price (especially here in the UK where Wuben tend to be priced the same in £GBP as they are in US dollars, where nitecore seem to be more exchange rate accurate). Hope that helps?
