The WUBEN G5 is a rechargeable everyday-carry flashlight built into a flat, credit-card-thin body instead of the usual tube shape. That geometry is the whole point: a cylindrical light rolls around and prints through a pocket, while a flat one sits alongside a phone without being noticed. It puts out up to 400 lumens with multiple brightness levels and recharges over USB-C rather than taking disposable cells. The flat profile also means it sits stable on a table pointing where you aim it rather than rolling off. Best fit: everyday carry, glovebox and bag kits, and anyone who has bought a pocket flashlight before and stopped carrying it because of the bulk.

Pros

  • Flat profile carries in a front pocket without printing or rolling
  • USB-C rechargeable, so no disposable cells to keep stocked
  • Up to 400 lumens with multiple output levels for close work or distance
  • Sits flat and stable on a table instead of rolling off the edge

Cons

  • The small flat cell means shorter runtime at maximum output than a tube light with an 18650 battery

Frequently asked questions

How does it charge?

Over USB-C. The battery is built in, so there are no cells to swap.

How long does it run on a charge?

Runtime depends heavily on the output level. Expect a short window at the 400-lumen maximum and considerably longer on the lower settings.

Is it waterproof?

It handles rain and splashes. Treat it as water-resistant everyday carry rather than something to submerge.

Does it have a clip or keyring attachment?

Yes, it is designed for pocket and keyring carry, which is the main reason for the flat shape.
