The size of a zippo. Lots of capability in a small package.
I am a collector of flashlights. Anything new immediately catches my attention. Wuben tends to be on the edge and always releasing new lights. This one doesn't disappoint. There is a lot to unpack with this one. Probably the most significant is the RGB function that allows for an infinite amount of color options in a light. Traditionally lights have offered multiple colors but only selectable with a switch and limited to red blue and green. This is where this lights sets itself apart. The color tone is selected via a wheel and renders a wide array of colors with the scroll of a wheel. Traditional lights offered red and green and maybe blue. This light can produce pinks and purples and most any color you can imagine.The clip design is intriguing. You can rotate the clip in either direction 90 degrees to accommodate your carrying preference. The head rotates 180 degrees and paired with the magnetic base becomes a work light that puts light where you need it. The lock switch works well and also opens to expose the USB C charging port.The light is bright. A double tap to engage the turbo mode creates a broad flood light. The RGB mode is good for specific tasks and works well.The size of the light is impressive compared to the perforce. When I saw previews, they referenced it being the size of a zippo. It is. Pretty good punch for its size.

Compact Powerhouse That Redefines EDC
After using the Wuben G5 for nearly a month, I can confidently say this flashlight is nothing short of fantastic. Despite its ultra-compact size — arguably the smallest EDC light I’ve ever used — it has quickly replaced most of the flashlights I used to carry daily.What sets it apart is how effortlessly it fits into my lifestyle. It slips perfectly into the coin pocket of my jeans and is so lightweight that I often forget I’m even carrying it. The rotating clip and the 180-degree swiveling head add an incredible amount of versatility — I can attach it to my shirt pocket without it sagging or mount it on the brim of a cap for hands-free work. These thoughtful design choices make it one of the most practical lights I’ve ever owned.One standout feature is the rotating dial used to adjust brightness. It makes switching modes incredibly intuitive and smooth — no double-clicks, long-presses, or confusing combinations. Just turn the wheel and go. For such a small flashlight, the G5 is impressively bright. In my usage pattern (running it on max brightness for 1–5 minutes every 5 minutes), the battery consistently lasted through the entire night. It probably could’ve gone even longer, but I usually top it off daily just out of habit.Build quality is top-tier. There are no rattles, creaks, or loose parts — everything feels solid and refined. It has the tactile feel of a premium, well-engineered tool. Simply put, the G5 doesn’t just feel like another flashlight — it feels like a precision instrument designed with real-world use in mind.In short, the Wuben G5 delivers a near-perfect combination of size, functionality, and quality. It’s a flashlight that disappears in your pocket but shines when you need it most.

What'a all the hype about it??
It's a flashlight. It's good, but also has some flaws.Positive: Build quality is very good, strong aluminium body. Feels solid. Drop and water resistance for ease of mind. Light is bright and with claimed 2 - 400 lumens strong enough. I like the stepless dimming. Also direct access to turbo mode by double pressing the on/off button. A variety of other colors also interesting, but except for the red light more of a gimmick. 180 degree swivel head is useful and works ok. Magnet on bottom in my opinion strong enough. USB-C chargeable. For the price it's a good value.Questionable: The so called turbo mode is just the highest setting of the dimmable light. So only a direct access to the highest setting. But of course turbo sounds more exiting. The pocket clip is variable front, side and back, but only the least useful position on the side is kind of settled straight. The front and back position of the clip (where you use it to clip it on a shirt, pocket, hat or pack strap) has too much movement and is very wobbly.The idea of the side switch is ok, but leaves room for improvement. Lock position ok. Covering the USB port ok. Unlock position has very little resistance and a short way to lock position, so handling the flashlight it is easily moved unintentionally and the light turns off. I use it in the most upward position now to avoid turning the light off by accident, but than the USB port is not covert (dirt).My main critic, why I don't get the hype over this light is the on-off switch. Due to the form of the flashlight it is not very intuitive to find the on-off switch. The light has basically four almost similar feeling corners and one of them has the on-off switch. Even after using it for a week, I am still touching and searching with my fingers to find it. Combined with the accidentally locked side switch it turns frustrating in certain occasions. All in all there is space for improvements. Maybe a second edition fixes the pocket clip and the position of the on-off switch issues.(Instead of a corner put it on the broad front or back side.)
