REVIEW ACEBEAM X80

Thanks for all the work and write-down. Very nice review for a very attractive flashlight that I really want but can not justify :frowning:

Strange they do not rate the Nichia UV LED in mW radiated power, as it produces almost no visible light, its a UV light which is powerful

What he said… :smiley:

Thank You :slight_smile:

Thank you

In the Spec only Says: nichia 1*NVSU233A 365 nm and 2 lumen.

Great review, thanks.

Incredible review, trully amazing! thanks for show us this impressive job.

This flashlight is a beast, but the UI is not at the level, color modes should become hidden, inexcusable.

Thanks for your sharing the awesome graphs ! Great review ! :+1:

Does the battery carrier warning say that must use high drain UNPROTECTED 18650 or high drain Protected cells?

Mine has a yellow sticker on the batter cage that says “UNprotected high drain”, but the label on the outside of the housing says “protected”. LOL who knows. I dont feel like taking the sleeve of the batteries that it came with but they are labeled as “arc18650h-310a”. Hope that helps.

Good deal at Liteshop.com.au A$339.95 (incl 4 x 18650) and a free lipstick! (Nitecore LA10)
Ordered, let’s see how it turns out.

The complete yellow sticker on the battery carriage says:

Must use high drain unprotected18650 cells, or protected 18650 which PCB including 4 Mosfets”.
I think “which” is an Acebeam typo, should be “with”? Also, note that the photos of this sticker by the OP Maiden666 show the sticker saying “3 Mosfets”. Well, the one I have says “4 Mosfets”

If anyone finds out what alternate batteries work with the X80, please post. I tried the Samsung 20A INR18650-25R and they were just a little too short, and would not fit in the carriage without being too lose. So in addition to requiring high-drain 20amps, the X80 is sensitive to the height of the 18650. You can see this in the OP’s photos of the Acebeam 18650 next to five other 18650 types. The Acebeam is taller than three of them. I’d be willing to bet those three that are shorter will be too lose for the carriage.

I use the 30Q’s and they seem to be fine. If you’re really having trouble just get a bunch of those little neodymium magnets, they’re like 20 for a buck.

You've actually tried the Q30s on an X80 and they fit as well as the Acebeam?

I didn’t get light with the acebeam batteries so I can’t compare but I haven’t had any problems with the 30Q’s

In the outdoor Beam photos I,ve used Sony VTC6 and 30Q. No problem.

谢谢您的评测

I’ve tried 30Q (flat tops)
And they DON’T work in my X80. They are very loose. The light switches off by itself all the time……

Maybe, the reason is for this is, that I got my X80 together with 4 original Acebeam Protected cells.
These are very long and fit very tight. So the springs already got compressed very much. And are now worn out a little bit…

Maybe I will add some solder blobs or boobs :wink: to my 30Qs, which I’ve bought for the X80 as spare cells……
Or I’ll use some magnets……

Ace review, thanks for sharing, a really good light this one!!

Received mine yesterday, and I’m really glad that they’ve changed the UI. Not sure if it’s been mentioned in any of the reviews, but a long press will enter the not-so-low ‘ultra low’ mode (as before), and if the button is kept depressed the red LEDs turn on. There is even a police strobe (red-blue) if the button is pressed even longer, and after that the light is locked out, and can’t be unlocked with a 2 second press of the power button. I have to unscrew the tail cap and screw it back on to get the light to work again.
