First impression: It’s nice, I really like the new switch that Sofirn used here. It’s like the large switch from Wurkkos, just smaller and far better than the hard, wobbly switch they used in the past.

The tint is mediocre and the Fresnel lens creates some rings. Unfortunately also some tint variation from spot to spill. Overall pretty soft beam, but not too floody.

It appears like the bezel is press fit, but it has a small gap and it might be possible to open it.

Interesting place to attach the clip. There’s this large groove at the front. Looks little weird without a clip, though.

A magnet is included as well, but it can only be used when no lanyard is attached (D’oh!).

I will write a full review, but it will take some weeks because I have quite a lot other flashlights in the queue.

    Nice, dude! I just bought a Wuben X0 in brass, a Wuben E7, a headband, and a couple of batteries. They look like really cool headlights/flashlights, so I’m really excited to get them. Thanks again!

      Wuben definitely makes some interesting designs. The X-1 with its flat form factor and cooling fan has been getting a lot of attention lately.
