    I bought from them in the past but a few comments in the previous post are concerning. I barely use mine so hopefully it doesn't die.

      Can't say I've experienced any issues with mine. Though I typically only use it when I'm in the underground stormwater drains ;)

        I guess it’s no big deal if you’re in an underwater stormwater drain and your torch conks out… just flick on the light switch. Similarly, if there is a sudden deluge of rain upstream in the network, basic boogieboarding technique gets you home without issue

          You make it sound like an impulsive trip down the drain. Always have spare torches, there are often lights down there anyway, it's not underwater and as the old saying goes… when it rains, no drains!

          • tharlow on 26/07/2022 - 01:07

            @Clear: That’s kind of disappointing… I was picturing an Indiana-Jones-type scenario. Your approach is entirely too sensible. Obviously the Health & Safety peeps are going to insist on a helmet and a snorkel, but let’s face it — they’re just never satisfied

    Bought from Hekka, used once, after a month it stopped working, battery protection tripped, lots of messages, videos of proof etc, they didn't want to replace it. They finally told me buy a new battery from a local retailer and they would have paid for it.
    I sent jaycar link for same type, no, too expensive, if you want we can refund $14.

  • Nickools on 25/07/2022 - 19:52

    This might be a dumb question but why don't they put the clip the other way, then you could clip it to a baseball cap and use it as a headtorch.

    • ego22 on 25/07/2022 - 20:03

      You can put the clip the other way around where it is. Might stick out from you cap a bit, But it would still work.

    • zestorer on 25/07/2022 - 20:15

      The're pretty heavy for that, you might want to go with something using AAs or similar for a cap mounted torch.

    • ColdFusion on 25/07/2022 - 20:26
      +2

      I've done it before works well but it sticks out into your vision a bit depending on the type of cap you use. It's weight (touch over 127g) isn't insignificant but if that doesn't bother you the clip has enough tension to stay on there provided you aren't head banging.

    I for one, however, can report that my torch purchased in March is still a-ok. Not heavily used, but certainly used a lot more than just a couple of times. Likely close to 2x a week or so.

    1200lm claim is insane. I have compared this to a 400lm torch and I can say they are about the same brightness. Or at best 500lm. The build quality seems good tho.

    • 8azinga on 25/07/2022 - 22:09

      It's not as bright as my ledlenser 1000lm. The wuben also only holds 1200lm for 1 minute before stepping down.

      • IMadeYouReadThis on 25/07/2022 - 22:12

        ledlenser 1000lm

        isn't that $200 torch?

        • 8azinga on 25/07/2022 - 22:30

          At RRP it is but can be found a lot cheaper. I got it for about $90 after cashback and Catch sale.

    • Prong on 26/07/2022 - 08:28

      What setup are you using to compare the torch lumens?

      The C3 and the various Wuben lights that use the Osram P9 have been pretty well tested online. So if you are not measuring close to 1200 lumens (even just as a comparison test), it might be faulty.

      One option to help confirm is to measure the power draw and compare to figures others have got. Perhaps yours is not running in turbo, and starts off stepped down to 500 lumen.

      • John Doh on 26/07/2022 - 08:34

        How do I enter turbo then?

        • Prong on 26/07/2022 - 10:18

          Ahhh. The C3 is automatically in turbo (1200 lumen) when on the high setting, and steps down to 500 lumen after a minute to avoid getting too hot. There is a manual on the website.

          https://www.wubenlight.com/products/wuben-c3-1200-lumens-fla…

          I am guessing you are not comparing a measurement of lumens, rather just how it looks?

          I was suggesting that perhaps yours is faulty and doesn't start in turbo. But perhaps not in this case. Another way to check if you can't measure the current draw is to leave it running for 1 minute and watch for it stepping down the brightness - but it can be hard to compare by eyeball, as your eyes adjust. You could likely capture it on camera - especially if you can set manual exposure settings.

          Lumens are the measure of all the light outputted, and needs a somewhat controlled setup to compare between torches. For example, the lens / reflector setup in a torch can make it look a lot brighter, or less bright, than another torch that uses the same LED and has the same brightness. In a different environment, or at a different distance, what was originally the brighter looking torch may not look as bright. The lumen rating is typically the LED, so some is lost depending on the lens or reflector.

          • John Doh on 26/07/2022 - 10:29

            @Prong: I will see if its stepping down today. I never ran it longer than a minute to see this. All I did was compare the light output of a Duracell (or eveready I think) 400lm torch by focusing it at different distance objects outside at night and also by focusing at a white ceiling inside the house. Both felt almost the same with C3 being a little bit brighter but not 2 or 3X bright. The battery was almost full when I did the test.

    Mine turned up today DOA, order 820361658747501
    Battery will not accept charge, removed the protective packaging but the charger shows green (fully charged) but the battery is flat - checked on a volt meter.
    The torch works with another battery installed (lucky I had one) but the one shipped is DOA.
    Odd it shows green and just wont charge.

    Replacement cost of battery is the same as the torch.
    Very dissapointed

  • JustASmoothSkin on 11/08/2022 - 11:54

    Just received mine, same as above. Battery dead on arrival. Charger "recharges" the battery in about 4 seconds but can't pull power back from it (Seems the battery just goes back to sleep after receiving a charge). Neither the repair or test functions work on the battery. Got a ton of 18650 laying around so I can just use one of them but pretty crappy to send out dead cells.
