There is also a [**german version**](https://dahamstah.de/2026/05/01/wuben-h4/), it can also be found on [**BLF**](https://budgetlightforum.com/t/review-wuben-h4/232995) and german [**TLF**](https://www.taschenlampen-forum.de/threads/review-wuben-h4.99995/).

# Summary

Well, what can I say? Overall, the H4 comes very close to what I hoped for. Only the missing lockout is unpleasant. That already bothered me with the Petzl Actik and is (battery in or insulator out) always an extra step to put the light into operation. It would be nice if Wuben could improve there for the future.

The light can be operated intuitively even by people not into lights, is relatively light, sits great on the head and offers significantly better light than I expected in this class. It is slightly heavier than a Wurkkos HD12 or Sofirn HS11, but also runs longer, takes AAA cells and is more versatile.

The light does not score with spectacular data or features, but simply with a lot of everyday usability and fills niches that other lights leave open. Anyone looking for a light for one of these niches can be very happy with the H4. Likewise, anyone looking for a reliable companion for the dog walk, the workshop or the car.

And last but not least, alpinists and long distance hikers may also take a look at it. Even if there are good alternatives for this use case, the light is definitely worth considering!
