I reviewed the Wuben T4, a new mini tactical flashlight that comes with an Osram W2 for long-range performance.
Wuben sent me a sample of the T4 for review. I was not paid to make this video, nor have I withheld any negative opinions of this light.

Wuben T4 Video Transcript
General thoughts after a week of usage/size comparison/practicality/interesting things:
• So Wuben has been making a ton of EDC flashlights for a while now, but one area they're not so well known for is tactical lights. I have the T1 which I reviewed previously and was very impressed with, but no one seems to know about it due to the lack of marketing. The T4 is a miniature tactical light with some very unique features that I haven't seen combined in a tactical light.
• What's included: my sample model includes the light, 18350 cell, clip, and glass-breaking tactical ring.
• Comparisons: Nextorch TA20, Wuben X0, Wuben C2, Convoy S8, Fenix PD35R
Overall Construction, LED, lens, bezel and reflector
• For a tactical light, there seems to be a lot going on with the design. The diameter of the head is noticeably larger than the body. Blue clip on the battery tube. There's some light knurling. There are a lot of interesting cutouts and shapes along the body. I notice that Wuben has used a similar sort of styling as seen on their X series lights. The ring under the head unscrews to reveal the USB-C charging port. The tactical ring connects to the clip and is secured by fastening the tailcap behind it. The anodizing is slightly glossy and is also a bit slippery.
• Tailcap has some interesting features. It is locked in place unless you pull it. You can then rotate to the different modes (lock, duty, tac). The tail switch has a dual-stage switch that also allows tailstanding whilst still providing easy access as it protrudes from the end. Takes an 18350 cell.
• The bezel is crenulated and has a blue retaining ring. Appears to have an Osram W2 or CSLPM1.TG is paired with a smooth reflector and glass lens.
UI - modes
• Lock mode.
• Duty. Full press, then half press to change modes from LMH.
• TAC - half press for high, full press for strobe.
Performance - total output, beam profile, longevity, practicality
• Ceiling bounce test, CRI, CCT
• Focused hotspot, decent size but not as large as if an SFT40 was used instead. Usable spill too.
Considerations
• Would prefer a black clip, higher tensile steel too.
• Fast step down on high. I also think they could push the W2 a bit more as the heat sinking is good due to the chunky head.
• I almost wish this was an 18650 light. Wuben - include an extension tube with this light, please!
• Not compatible with 16340/CR123 primaries.
Verdict
This is a feature-packed mini tactical flashlight. Wuben has put a lot of thought into this light, and though I noted a few improvements, I think would make a great option for beginners or enthusiasts looking for a unique-looking and pocketable tactical light.

Thanks. Added the T4 to my collection today. When using the tactical ring. need to tighten the hell out of it or the torch end cap doesnt screw in enough and results in mechanical lockout due to spacing and the device wont turn on. After being a bit more vigorous with the tightening of the end cap, it came to life. I'm talking 'omg this feels wrong screwing the end cap this hard'. I like the mechanical lockout, duty & tactical interface. Beast of light for its size.

I asked Wuben to make an extension tube for it, would be great with an 18650 for sustained output!

does the tac ring can fit into Convoy s2+ s15 or s8 flashlight?

I just tried on the S2+ and S8 (don't have the S15) and they both work. Stays firm too. Only thing is you need to screw the tailcap in quite tightly for it to make contact with the battery.

Pros and cons I guess, makes it less likely to accidentally activate in your pocket, but awkward to shift modes with one hand.

The tail-standable tail button is a very nice touch, it's one of the things I wished the TA30C had and I think it'll be implemented in many lights from this point forward. Far superior to the MH12 Pro's 'ears' and situationally* better than the shroud design on the MT2C Pro. Situationally cuz I think it only works on the T4 because it isn't heavy enough to push it down for unwanted activation. I'd say the ring-mounted glass breaker is a lot less practical vs TA20's bezel-mounted inlays even when you wear full protection. The material holding it (the ring) will flex during impact. I'd be curious to see if it would pop out after a few attempts against a strong glass. Lots of safety tools with glass-breaking features don't actually hold up to their claims when put to test (flashlights included), so users should always find out for themselves rather than taking one's word for it. It will also tear up whatever it brushes past (esp. upholstery), which I believe will result in lots of users removing it. In that sense, the T4 wouldn't actually have any glass-breaker function in the configuration it would most likely be carried, so I suppose this is all irrelevant. Speaking of irrelevant, it took me a while to notice that, in their slides, the "operator" is smashing against a normal glass using the bezel and not the spike. As tempting as it is, the mode spacing and consequent runtime feels underwhelming. If 5lm ain't enough, I'd get a 150lm for only 2.5hrs. There's not many EDC scenarios I can think of whereby I'd think the runtime justifies not carrying multiple spares. An extension tube would definitely solve that issue.

I removed the glass breaker as it's going to draw too much attention here in Aus. The extension tube is something I recommended to Wuben, it'll 3-4X the runtime....
