Many of us had a lot of headaches with Acebeam (when they were known as Supbeam) of the X40 charging problems, which never got fixed, and i had to strip the charging circuit out of my X40 to make it stop draining the batteries before i gave it away, and a price of 750 + bucks is not going to cut it for this thing.
Thought that was the X60 Supbeam GB debacle? Still have mine…
……… Supbeam X60 Battery-carrier Improved
………….Yep X40 too… hmmm….
i remember both of those models were affected. The X40 i had ruined one of my cells by draining it to 1.4 volts after sitting just a month with that bad charging carrier.
Ok what. How did Acebeam not immediately refunded you the price of the battery pack and try to fix the issue as quickly as possible?
I would be heavily pissed if that happened to a light with a non replaceable battery pack, especially in Canada where 18650s are rare.
All they did was sent a replacement carrier for the light that was supposed to be fixed, with a weird ” 6.2 volt” USB power supply adapter. (which didn’t fix the problem, so i gutted the charging circuit & gave the light away.
Wait, they put a series switching parallel BMS inside of the battery carrier? This what I’ve understood from the research I did.
That is a dangerous idea.
Yep, all the charging circuit was in the carrier itself, and it had some seriously bad parasitic drain and balance charging flaws they could not fix. Never bought another Acebeam since.
I love acebam brands… i got 14 of them, including x60, x65, t30… i dont like the battery pack on t30, and x65… battery pack are not modders friendly…
Acebeam should atleast offer without the battery pack.
Reason why I joined budget light forum was trying to get budget lights that can perform as good or better than big name brands. $750 definitely isn’t a budget light in my book…
Not saying I can’t afford it, it’s just not worth it.
If I spent $100 to mod a $120 light to preform better than a $400 light, that’s a win for me.
who said the x70 is a budget light? it was never intended as one either… but yes u can get less lumens for far less money then that for sure. This light is hard tho to get something similar for budget price since it has so crazy amount of lumens even the imalent dx80 doesnt stand a chance and + active cooling bumps up the price, i think acebeam went in hard on this one to show that such light can be made and it sets a bar for next one to dare reach 40k+ lumens…
I’m just stating my reason of skipping this one. I’m here for budget lights.
I like big lumens and cooling features, but not with this price.
I’m sure there will people calling $750 is a budget light or a steal for this light tho…
What’s the word on the streets regarding a release day? How pricey are we taking?
Well, MSRP is $750. It will probably sell for a bit less than that as per usual with Acebeam .
I have no idea when it will be released.
I wonder if there will be a group buy?
I am just guessing if they ever had a x70 group buy, it would be around $521.
Price on site is reduced to $649.90. :sunglasses:
Wow, that’s great news! I ordered three of them right away. 
Sorry to rain on your parade but I already bought the last 6 pieces on stock right before you. Ms. Newman from the Acebeam sales dept. made me such a good price…I couldn‘t resist.
sounds like they wanna compete with the x9 soon to be released with that price reduce… any idea when this is gonna get out?
I hope they use better cells in this battery pack, unlike the X65 which comes with NCRB, ridiculous for a $550 light
