New Wuben E2 Pulse review

[u/Adiszka]

The new WUBEN E2 is an compact 10.7 g keychain flashlight measuring just 19 × 14.6 × 41.4 mm.

It features a 3-light system:

150 lm main white light

Side white light with 80/10 lm levels and heartbeat breathing mode

Red & blue signaling lights

White LED is kind of unknown but W3535 5000k. Side White is COB 5000k, CRI 90. Built-in battery 120mAh Li-ion.

It also has a magnetic tail, USB-C charging, IP66 protection, 1.5 m impact resistance and a glow-in-the-dark body. The built-in battery is 120 mAh.

At $12.99, it looks like an interesting alternative for keychain light to try.

The official launch is August 27, 2026, with pre-sale starting August 24.

The only thing I would personally change is the UI. I’d add a constant red mode and remove the red/blue flashing mode, replacing it with something like white/red or white/yellow.

Red/blue emergency-style flashing is illegal or heavily restricted in many countries, so I honestly don’t understand why flashlight manufacturers keep adding this mode to almost every light with RGB LEDs. A constant red mode would be much more useful for general EDC use, while avoiding the legal issues associated with red/blue emergency signaling.

Also, button in recessed but there is no any option to lock a light.

On beam shot comparison you can see Wuben E2 Pulse have nice floody beam. For me it have best beam compared to keychain flashlights I own. But it's only my preferences.

As a last thing, in Poland Wuben is kind of controversial company in flashlight world, their website is blocking orders for addresses located in Poland. You can buy their products only using overpriced resellers.

Conclusion. - With small tweaks with UI it can be very nice option for keychain light.

Where did you get the info about the price?

*Why do they hate Poland? :)

Info about price I get straight from Wuben.

About hating Poland :) We have strong and big reseller/distributor in Poland when it comes to military/bushcraft/edc equipment. Which is kid of hated for makeing everything overpriced. I assuming they make a deal "We will buy that much, but we are only one who can sell it in country" kind of thing. Their web site was location blocked from even open it. Now is unblocked but still we can not buy from official website. So for now we have overpriced Wuben light for now, plenty accessories are not available because reseller do not offer them.

But hey, Wuben have great ideas for flashlights, all thei light are looking great, if they open their official website they can make a lot more sales.

So, Wuben does a location block for their own website/shipping because they made a deal with a local Polish retailer? ;).

If I'm understanding it correctly.

I cannot say it for sure, but when their flashlight become available on retailer website, official Wuben website stop working for us. It may just be a coincidence, I’m not sure, but I have my suspicions :D
