Don’t worry, pure flood with weak throw will underwhelm quickly, unless you dont have any other monster light, those larger XHP50 dies barely got anything to collect them.
Big flood is where it’s at after the thrill of big throw is gone
And then there’s also the universal law: lumens sell
Vinh’s lights sell, so obviously there is a market for lights with stupid high lumen values. I think Acebeam is doing something interesting by offering lights of this category as a main stream company.
I am sure this flashlight will have it’s driver removed and fit in the 17mm direct drive from RMM/MTN wrapped in kapton tape to make it higher-end, because Vinh light baby.
I meant to say lights with under 25Kcd (guessing 20Kcd?) are underwhelming lights when they produce 25Klm, it is that much more floodier/spreadier/underwhelming for the amount of lumens.
Hey how are you doing man, nice to see you back. :partying_face:
Yeah I know what you mean. You need to have the right environment to benefit such output. Dense forest with super tall trees in a ~10 to 20 meter range will make the light shine. In an open environment you will be blinded by the spill in front of you while a large part of the lumens will be tossed in air making it useless.
i say potato

Yes, true, correct, succinct and well said. I agree that most of the light is tossed away from where it can be of use, and the close in glare makes viewing anything impossible. I have several legacy lesser flooders that do this not quite on such a grand scale. I do not need the current offering that does this in the biggest way.
I want the current offering that does this in the biggest way.
Have you heard anymore about it seery, like specs?
$300.
I was way off. Great value for lumens compared to a couple of their previous high powered lights.
Great output for 300 dollar! And I like the size, the design and the colour led option. In the picture in post #2 I do not see a 233A though, must be a picture of a prototype.
$300 sounded like a great value until I realized all those 22000 floody lumens were at a nasty 6500K.
Pretty much standard procedure or not? Perhaps there will be a NW version as well, just like with the X45.
:sunglasses: :+1:
Now if the next light could ditch the useless leds and add some throwers in the middle instead
Thank you for the updated News seery! I see now, that this will run at 4000lm, for 1.5 hours. That is tough to beat in this industry, and becoming standard operating procedure for Acebeam. :sunglasses: :+1:
Yes 25000 lumens and 299 USD
O YES IT DOES.
Can this light use with x65 battery pack?? I am sure it can… what do you guys think?
Some update pictures of X80.
I was going to order Nitecore SRT 9: but, I decide to hold after I see the photos.
Best of all, no more green tint like X45
