Review Acebeam L16 /// XHP35 HI 2000 Lumens

Pretty handsome light. Thanks for the review. What would you say the approx color temp is?

Thanks for the review, are you able to turn on, change modes and turn off the light by only using the side switch? Or do you have to turn it on using the tail switch and change modes with the side switch?

Always glad to do the reviews.

I think they had it listed as 6500K on the Amazon site.
The tube of light coming out looks really cool in the beamshots and when I am using the light , but the actual light on target doesn’t look nearly as cool as that tube of light does.
The light on target looks slightly warmer than the listed 6500K and is a nice pure white , (more like the cool end of neutral to me) , as far as what is hitting the target , such as the trees and animals and that kind of stuff.

The tail switch only operates the Turbo mode , a half press for momentary and a full click for constant on………the side switch controls everything else.

Great review and great music as always.

Thanks :beer:

Thanks Khas.

That IS a good looking light! Thanks David, now there’s YET ONE MORE I just HAVE to HAVE! UGH! lol

Glad to do the review Dale.

Also glad I could be of help with you finding a light you don’t have and just REALLY want. :smiley:

Thanks for the review! Acebeam lights as always drives the emitter hard without nasty drops! I wish we could see more lights like this from other brands.
One thing I cannot understand is the runtime on high… it puts out ~1000 lumens for more than 2 hours from a single 18650?
The XHP35 has slightly better efficiency than the XP and XM emitters, but 1,000 lumens for over 2 hours with a 11Wh battery translates into more than 200lm/watt. Sounds too good to be true?

Glad to do it will34

As I had mentioned this is my first Acebeam light , but I do like it.

The run time kind of surprised me also but I sat here with the light on and watched the clock and never left the light alone for more than a minute. As shown in the charts up there it really did run 138 minutes until the first low voltage blink.

I guess they are figuring out how to make the drivers more efficient from what is there.

Looked at from that perspective, a 1000 lumen 2 hour light pretty much makes it worth the money, having a Turbo boost in times of need is icing on the cake. :wink:

A turbo boost that does not step down for the duration of the cell charge at that……lol

Welllllll, it gradually drops to high level… wonder what it would do if you were using high for say an hour and half, then wanted Turbo for a bit? Would it give 1800 lumens at the back end of the cell life? Even for a little while? Bet it’d kick the cell in the tail to do it, if it would. lol

Thanks for the review robo819! I enjoyed watching your video. Looks like a nice high quality thrower.

You are probably right , may have to check that later on.

YW NF……… I was actually pleasantly surprised with the build quality of this light.

Nice review!!

I can’t stop asking myself why you run the light at 1000lm for 138min but the manufacturer only claims 1.2 hours at that mode

I don’t think the run times were listed quiet right………

I mean they have High listed at 1.2 hours at 1000 lumens and Turbo listed at 1.1 hours at 2000 lumens ……. Definitely something don’t compute right with that equation.

I actually have another light of a different brand , I am working on a review of now and it list 2.5 hours of run time with included cell in High mode………it went to 221 minutes , or about an hour over what is listed on it also ……Scratching my head over these long times for sure.

But manufacturer lists 500lumens for about 2.2 hours which are more or less your 138min on high (1000lm). Are you sure that the light didn’t stepdown from 1000 to 500 at some point? I’ll be buying one of this lights thanks for your review!

I will be gone a lot of the day today , but I will do another run time test later this evening just to double check the times and lumens.
