Wuben L1

A 21700 pocket thrower with the switches up by the head: two electronic buttons run four levels and three special modes. Wuben rates the cool white SST40 version at 2,000 lumens and 30,625 candela for 350 metres, and also sells a Nichia 519A version that trades output for 90-plus CRI. The cell charges in the light over USB-C and the same port works as a power bank output; the tail is magnetic and the body is IP68. No runtime for high is published, the warranty is a short one year, and the $79.99 list is permanently discounted on the maker's store.
