  • Seems ok, holds 320ish Lumens for 4 hours, which is bright enough IMO.

    • The description reada:

      WUBEN F5 camping torch has 3 lighting modes (High 500LM, Med 140M, Low 10LM) and 3 color temperatures (5700K,4500K,3000K

      and also

      Rechargeable torch light is equipped with 5200mAh power source, TYPE-C fast charge, and max runtime of up to 500 hours after fully charged.

        I'm paraphrasing a little, that's what I've taken away from this review here:
        https://zeroair.org/2022/03/11/wuben-f5-lantern-review/

        Specs are one thing, but how they perform in real world is substantially more relevant.
        I'm not saying it's a bad light, it actually seems like a nice form factor that performs well.

        • …there was some issue with me attempting C to C charging…and something inside the Wuben F5 lantern fried…and will no longer charge.

      4 hours??? Where did you read that? It says it lasts 5min at 320

    Fantastic light. I bought two a couple of months ago for around $33. Really solidly built. Doubles as a powerbank. Three different colours, a cold white, an off white and a really warm yellow, perfect for a soft camping glow. Great magnet on the back. Comes with lanyard and a little carabina clip. Thoroughly recommend.

    • Purchased based on your review. I'll be using it this month for a one nighter out in the sticks.

      Can anyone recommend bedding for a tent?

  • Similar to to the BLF Lt1 mini version?

  • Great versatile light. Love them.

  • Just bought it - had my eye on the W5 for a while. Good find OP

    Would be great if it was USB-C out, rather than just in, and USB-A as the only output.

    • Agree, the only negative with this device!

  • +2

    The last couple years I've used a few of these lights when camping, I hang one inside my tent, a couple outside where I cook, etc. They've been awesome and are a similar price, they can go red too which is super handy when you don't want to wake others up.

    • That looks like a very handy, compact lantern. What’s intriguing about this Wuben F5 is that it’s a high CRI light, despite not being advertised as such. And the fact that it blows up if you try using it as a USB-C to USB-C powerbank, of course

  • What do you mean by $39.59 I go to deal and it is $43.99

    • There was a 10% of coupon but it appears to have finished. Ozbargained most likely.

  • Any thoughts on using this as a cheap photography fill light?

  • Mine was delivered today. Great little light

  • I got this delivered today. While the light works fine, does anyone else also get a high pitch noise from the device when charging via USB-C?

    • +2

      No whining noise except from the wife. Blah, blah, something about too many torches.

    • I received mine today too. Charging it from out of the box, there was no sound, but now it has hit the 4th-5th LED, it's making a whining pitch noise charging with the usb c cable. Hrmmm….

  • Ended up going for a removable battery lantern to use my eneloops. This has got excellent reviews.
