Wuben X1Pro introduction: Remembering the excitement brought by the Wuben X4 in early September? This 18650 slim tube, with its unique primary/secondary light design and rich accessory ecosystem, delivered a fresh take on portable lighting. Wuben has unveiled an even more “outrageous” creation now — the Wuben X1Pro flashlight. As the upgraded successor to the Wuben X1 and the new flagship of the X series, the Wuben X1Pro continues the legacy and creates another classic. Let's dive in and find out!
Appearance: Classic Design, Enhanced Details
1. Size
The Wuben X1Pro's most distinctive feature is its flat design language, with a striking black-and-white color scheme. Dimensions remain nearly identical to its predecessor: 138mm long, 59.6mm wide, and 29.5mm thick. Its compact size feels solid and comfortable in hand, weighing 383g with battery and 242g without.
2. Material
The barrel is crafted from aluminum alloy, with the black sections precision-machined via CNC and then anodized, while the white sections feature die-casting with a spray-painted finish. Notably, this die-casting and spray-painting process represents a significant improvement over the X4.
3. LED
The Wuben X1Pro features functional differentiation in its LED configuration: the long-range core employs a single XHP50 HI LED delivering 3500LM, while the flood section utilizes an array of four XHP50HD LEDs producing 9500LM. Both emit cool white light and are paired with an integrated orange-peel reflector. Users can activate either the focused or flood beam independently, or engage both light patterns simultaneously.
From the front, the entire area housing the Wuben X1Pro fan is finished in black. Below it, a mode-switching slider has been added, offering three light patterns from left to right: Spot, Spot + Flood, and Flood. A single horizontal swipe seamlessly cycles through them.
The Wuben X1Pro features larger chamfered edges on all four corners to enhance grip comfort. This design reduces weight while significantly improving palm contact. The buttons originally positioned on the front have been relocated to the left side of the device. When gripping the device, your thumb naturally rests on the side buttons, preventing fatigue even during extended use.
The symmetrically designed cylinder features a fan removal port at the top rear, while the lower section retains the bike mount screw holes. When paired with the Wuben X1Pro rail plate, it can be transformed into a bike light. (Rail plate and bike mount are not included.)
The black bottom section is the battery compartment cover. Push up the latch, press it, and the cover will automatically pop open, allowing you to replace the batteries. Keep the latch closed when not in use to prevent accidental opening.
The Wuben X1Pro is powered by two removable 21700 batteries, each with a capacity of 4800mAh, delivering a total energy output of 35.52Wh. It offers up to 455 hours of maximum runtime.

Battery Indicator
When using, the battery indicator light on the power button side will illuminate for 5 seconds upon startup, then automatically turn off. The current battery level can be determined by the indicator light color:
-
Solid blue light: Battery level above 90%
-
Flashing blue light: Battery level between 40% and 90%
-
Solid red light: 15%-40% battery
-
Flashing red light: Below 15% battery, recharge required
Charging and Discharging
The Type-C port on the side of the device supports PD fast charging (5V/3A, 9V/3A, 12V/2.5A, 15V/2A, 20V/1.5A), with a maximum fast charging power of 30W. The battery can be fully charged in approximately 2 hours. The charging indicator displays red, and turns blue when fully charged.
The Wuben X1Pro also features 15W reverse charging capability, allowing you to charge devices like smartphones in emergencies.
Active cooling, sustained high brightness
The Wuben X1Pro features a removable cooling fan embedded at the top of the barrel, which works with the internal temperature control circuitry to automatically activate rapid heat dissipation when the barrel tip becomes excessively hot. This ensures the floodlight mode maintains a stable 3000 lumens output for approximately 1.7 hours!
Tripod
The upgraded slide rail plate features an additional 3/4-inch screw hole at its center, enabling installation on any compatible mounting interface—such as securing it to a tripod for directional lighting.
