When I do a review like this one , I'm not being compensated for the product(s) I'm reviewing. I also won't create a video review for a product if I don't feel it will brings some real value to our viewers. When I'm approached by a company to do a video review of their product, they usually offer a discount code to our viewers who are interested in purchasing their product and then offer to pay us a commission on each completed sale where that code was used. What we are testing with this video and upcoming videos, is asking companies to take the commission that they would normally pay to us on each sale that we have referred to them and just apply it to the the discount code that our viewers are using to purchase their product. These "enhanced" coupon codes increase the value of our video reviews for our viewers and increase sales for the many independent businesses that serve the EDC community with their products. We can do this because our current business model is based on revenue from Google adsense advertising on the Earthling EDC Channel and the sale of Pocket Racks(TM) and other EDC accessories on our soon to be launched website. My preference is to stick to this new model going forward, but we may need to switch back to the "pay for play" model in the future. If we do, there will be a clear disclaimer included in each of those video reviews. Thank you for being a part of the Earthing EDC community.
@@LandmanEDC I’m looking forward to seeing what your build looks like. Drop me an email at Earthling@newsphoto.com once you have it up and I’ll link to it on our community page.
@Swamp-Fox Thanks for posting. It's a very intuitively designed flashlight. Easy to use and after spending so much time with it for this review, I like the way it works. Might even drop it into my keychain. Happy Holidays !
@Castleknight I should have defined that a bit further in the video...The third one would be the flasher mentioned at the end of the video. It was not listed in the instruction sheet and I just ran into it while playing around with the power switch. Thanks for posting and Happy Holidays to you!
That is definitely an interesting little light. I have heard of Wuben, but haven’t used any of their products. I purchased an Olight Mini 2 several months ago and it has worked extremely well for my needs. If you haven’t checked them out, I highly recommend them and no, I’m not an Olight fanboy, I just find it to be a good little flashlight.
@michaelnasser8697 - Thank you for taking the time to post this information about the Olight Mini. I'll definitely take a look at them. I'm glad that you found the information about the Wuben G1 interesting. Thanks again for posting.
Thanks. It might be asking too much, but it would be nice if the bulb was covered, and more waterproofing would be appreciated. I haven't looked at the price yet, but if they're super cheap that might make it a little more attractive as is. Ok, it is cheap, but 3.8 stars on Amazon due to QC issues...Doesn't seem like something to be relied upon, so that puts it more in the toy category for me.
@dylanemeraldgrey - Thank you for your post. As I had mentioned in the video, the closest comparative equivalent to this type of light might be a button light with an exposed bulb, but it does do more than a button light when you take into account the USB C charging and the multiple light functions that can be selected from 1 Lumen to 40 Lumens to Flash. It's a hybrid between a small bare bones disposable button light and a small muliti function keychain light with a fully covered LED. It's an undefined type of flashlight. I can tell you that I've enjoyed testing it and using it. So far no glitches to report and if there are, it comes with a 1 year warranty. Thank you again for sharing your thoughts and research on this light. Happy Holidays!
@@EarthlingEDC My bad: I wanted to compare this one to the nitrcore tube! I guess, like-wise I like both; We‘ll see, I ordered one because it is more slim and I… don’t have it yet

Thank you for your honesty, it’s rare in this day and age on TH-cam. It’s a sign of integrity.
That’s super cool. Thanks for sharing!
@LandmanEDC - Thanks for watching and I sincerely appreciate your feedback - Happy Holidays!
@@EarthlingEDC I’ll be in touch - getting ready to make your Pocket Rack and feature it in one of my videos. Can’t wait!
@@LandmanEDC I’m looking forward to seeing what your build looks like. Drop me an email at Earthling@newsphoto.com once you have it up and I’ll link to it on our community page.
@@EarthlingEDC I’ll do that!
Nice little light. Seems like a great alternative to the button lights. I love the fact that it is USB C rechargeable. Merry Christmas!

Excellent review 😉😉
Thank you and Happy Holidays to you.
Same to you 😉😉
Did you misspeak at 1:10, when you said it had 3 light settings? Doesn't it have two, i.e. 1 and 40 lumens?

@Dani-wn6wh - Thank you for your post. Which Nitecore is it that you like?

@Dani-wn6wh - Let me know what you think of it...Thanks for posting
Is there still 20% off at WUBEN? Where should I get it?
The link and the discount code is in the description for this video. Enjoy!
