WUBEN X1Pro Performance Upgrades

WUBEN X1Pro Performance Upgrades

During the X1Pro’s Kickstarter launch, we received tremendous feedback and discussions from our supporters. ( View details on Kickstarter: https://bit.ly/X1ProKickstarter ) This inspired us to further refine and upgrade the product. Below are the latest improvements we are excited to share:


1. Enhanced Accessories Package

We have upgraded the included accessories by adding an improved USB-C Cable Lanyard and a dedicated X1Pro Holster.

The new USB-C braided lanyard features a quick-release design for easier daily use and improved durability.

The custom X1Pro holster is made from high-toughness nylon and allows multi-angle adjustment to suit different carry habits, making the X1Pro more convenient and professional for outdoor and mobile scenarios.


2. Optimized Beam Performance

We optimized the original reflector design to improve long-range beam performance without reducing total output lumens.

Long-distance beam throw increased by approximately 16% (from 350m to 427m)

A more focused hotspot improves long-range visibility, reduced edge halo and scatter enhances nighttime clarity and safety


3. Spotlight LED Performance Comparison

We also performed detailed comparison tests between the CREE XHP50.3 HI and the frequently mentioned LUMINUS SFT-42R.. To

Test data shows that the CREE XHP50.3 HI is slightly inferior to the LUMINUS SFT-42R in terms of throw distance. However, within 300 meters, it provides better overall brightness. Considering typical usage ranges, we ultimately decided to keep the original LED design. Meanwhile, through our reflector optimizations, the XHP50.3 HI now achieves an illumination distance nearly on par with the SFT-42R.

We appreciate all the suggestions you've shared regarding product upgrades. We’re happy to discuss these ideas with you and gather valuable insights from your feedback to ensure we deliver a truly refined X1PRO. At the same time, we will accelerate testing, pilot production, and mass production of the upgraded version so that everyone can receive their X1PRO as soon as possible.
