Wuben E2 PULSE Keychain Flashlight Review: Best-Selling EDC Light Worth It?

Quick overview

The Wuben E2 PULSE Compact Mini EDC Keychain Flashlight sits at the top of Wuben’s own “2026 Best Seller” collection and carries 18 customer reviews on the brand’s site. At just 10.7 grams with its battery installed, it’s built to live on a keychain rather than in a pocket, with 150 lumens of output, a magnetic tail, and Wuben’s standard 5-year limited warranty. We went through the actual product listing, warranty terms, and return policy on Wuben’s site to see what you get for under $20.

Key features

  • 10.7g total weight with battery installed — Wuben’s own comparison photo shows it next to a pair of wireless earbuds to illustrate just how small and light it is (41.4mm x 19mm x 14.6mm).
  • 150 lumens with a 26m beam, plus a 3-in-1 lighting setup: a main beam, a side COB panel, and a separate signal light.
  • Magnetic tail that snaps onto metal surfaces for hands-free lighting, on top of clip and keychain carry options.
  • IP66 water and dust resistance with 1.5m impact protection, so it’s built to survive being dropped or caught in the rain on your keys.
  • Heartbeat breathing light mode — a rhythmic glow effect for visibility and personality beyond straightforward illumination.

Who it’s for

This is aimed at people who want a flashlight they’ll actually always have on them, since it lives on a keychain, backpack zipper, or as a necklace rather than needing a dedicated pocket or bag slot. The 150-lumen output and 26m beam are enough for everyday tasks, walking the dog at night, or quick emergencies, but this isn’t meant to compete with a dedicated high-output tactical light — if you need long-throw brightness for hunting or search use, Wuben’s other lines (like the X-series) are built for that instead. The IP66 rating and impact resistance make it a reasonable everyday-carry companion for commuting, travel, and camping.

Bottom line

The Wuben E2 PULSE earns its best-seller spot by doing one thing well: being small and light enough that you’ll actually carry it, while still packing real features like a magnetic tail, IP66 durability, and a genuine 3-in-1 lighting setup. At $19.99 backed by a 5-year warranty, it’s a reasonable everyday-carry pickup as long as you understand this is a compact keychain light rather than a high-output tactical flashlight.
