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.

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.
