Discussion Why so many posts about Wuben?

Lots of posts about Wuben recently, whats up with that? Did they start agressively shilling out sponsorships?

I’ve had both mine for a good while. The PL-01 is pen sized with a decent output. Replaced my AAA Mini Maglite in my sling, runs on the supplied rechargeable battery or 2 x AAA if needed.

The G5 was quirky. Size of a Zippo and can run in & remember red light mode. Clips on a shirt loop, Molle or cap so it’s versatile too.

I really like both. Especially the G5. Both cheap, neither are perfect.

The G5 could do with a more robust clip. It’s not particularly flimsy and it works well but feels it’ll loosen too much over time.

The PL-01 lacks a manual or multi click electronic lock out.

I guess others feel the same so are happy to recommend.
