Anyone have more info on this?
New Wuben W8. Replaceable 14500, 2W UV, 1300lm 5000K from (2) SST-36F, switchable colored side shields/shells on what looks like side lights for a sort of lantern mode?
Looks like tail switch from these pictures. No magnet? Replaceable battery.
On the one hand, looks compact enough and handy enough for a large EDC, and I like the side lights. Kinda neat.
On the other hand, when compared with other white + UV EDCs, no laser (not that I care – just comparing to similar lights with UV), which is kinda weird.
Anybody else have more info? I kinda like it. But then again – I like gimmicky features on flashlights (such as tritium, aux LED blinkies, other forms of side lights like the Wurkkos HD01 Pro or the LoopGear SK05 Pro and such, and even the very gimmicky Loop Dot)

Finally someone who jumps on the SK03 bandwagon!
Hopefully these are high CRI side LEDs with an ultra low mode as well.
I can not find a Wuben W8 anywhere on their site or Kickstarter?
Edit: MEOW!
Sorry – shoulda said E8, not W8!
Did some digging. Some previews got out but that is about it.
These do seem to be very well regulated on the main channel though.
The new wuben weight
I watched the video. They switched from screws to magnets on the panels, I wonder how well they hold over time?
