The first post doesn’t tell us anything, really. A “high powered” flashlight literally could be anything. It could be 10,000, 20,000, 30,000, 40,000, maybe even 50,000 lumen. It might have a bunch of 70.2 or it might have a bunch of 50.2. You could even have a bunch of xhp35.
It does seem highly unlikely that Astrolux would make two different versions of the same light, one with active cooling and one without. They will rob each other of sales. Ideally, they should be different enough that people will want to buy both. Not just one.
But Acebeam confirmed that there will be Neutral White version of the X70 this time and not just cool white like all the other super bright flashlights! :laughing:
I do hope Astrolux offer a HI CRI version with the XHP70.2 4000k 80+CRI, which has perfect neutral tint that is nearly indistinguishable from the legendary Nichia NVSL219BT. Their MF01 219c 90+ CRI version seems to be super popular
Interested also. The 4500K tint gives the best balance of color discrimination and least blue bounce. I’d like to see that. 5000K produces a bluish reflection off of plants that makes it hard to see past them. 4000 makes it hard to distinguish among brown objects.
