I’ve used a lot of flashlights
I’ve used a lot of flashlights, and one thing I like about Wuben is that they’re willing to make lights that are genuinely different instead of producing another basic round flashlight. The X1 Pro, X3, and X5 are four very different lights, and each one fills a different role. The X1 Pro wins for raw power. The X3 wins for lightweight everyday carry and hands-free versatility. The X5 wins for overall functionality. If I could only keep one for normal everyday use, I'd probably choose the X5 because the white light, UV and laser give it capabilities the other three don't have. If I needed maximum illumination outdoors, though, there would be no question—the X1 Pro would be the one coming with me. Wuben has done a good job making these lights different enough that there really isn't a single winner. The quality of lights rival competition like surefire that cost a lot more.
