Or you can get TWO D4 titanium lights plus batteries.
This is really something I’m looking forward to. I hope they have the beautiful XP-L HI 5D tint from the Emisars. A stainless steel version would be nice too at that price. I just don’t see how it can maintain 1-minute before stepdown when the D4 begins rapidly dropping in lumens the instant you turn it on. The size is probably not much larger than the D4. If it can really maintain 1-minute at those lumens before stepdown, it will be like a practical version of the D4. Truly amazing.
But let’s see how the UI is. The Emisar ramping UI is perfect.
If it’s close to as good as advertised, it’ll make a good belt light. Emisar D4 is a pocket rocket not a tool. This light might even be a touch too light. Waterproofing is right next to reliability and output on my short list of needed features. I hope for good threads, orings and sealed electronics.
I like it. Don’t know if I would be a buyer at $120 but I think I surely would be at half that price maybe.
Does the xhp35 hi run cooler than the xpl hi? Is that why it can run turbo for 1 minute before ramping unlike the D4 that ramps down the instant you turn it on?!
Any info on the user interface?
Hits all the right boxes, only UI and price info are missing
Is there a NW version for xhp35?
4 underdriven XHP35 HI must be really efficient and/or that 21700 cell is really good, because 900 lumens (assuming fully regulated) for 2 hours after that 1 minute turbo stepdown (which is a nice lengthy time for a light this size) seems very good.
The only thing I want to see are the color temperature for both the 35HI and Nichia variations. UI would need instant access to hi and low too.
I looked at the Cree charts. The lowest rated XHP35 HI does 251 lumens at 0.225 amps 2.589 watts each. The best rated does 375 lumens at 0.20 amps 2.29 watts each. Samsung INR21700-48G 4800mAh has 17 Wh at 1.0 amp discharge. Could almost run 1500 lumens for 110 minutes minus what the circuit eats on the best LED’s. I like triples and quads for the sweet spot outputs without having to super turbo boost just one. Only running 32 watts for the 4000 lumen quad. 36 watts for a triple, off the charts for a double. This does beg for proper XHP35 HD optics, at its top end we get another 24% more lumens.
EC65 Option 1: 4* Cree XHP35 HI LEDs 6500K
EC65 Option 2: 4* Nichia 90+ CRI LEDs 5000K
Strange, I was told by Chris from Acebeam that the XHP35 HI is 6500K. Not that I’d complain if it actually was 5000K.
They are different color temperature.

Can we expect a professional Maukka review of this? :laughing:
Yes, surely. It is on the way of shipping. Maukka will do it in the following days ! Let’s wait a few more days. 
:+1: Really looking forward to this one! Hope the efficiency is way above the Emisar D4.
Uses a boost driver, doesn’t overdrive the emitters.
I think it is going to be plenty efficient.
Pete you’re right, i didn’t know it was that expensive!
Hi Acebeam,
Is there a reason this is so overpriced?
$139 for a single battery flashlight? Something like Zebralight SC64 is only $79…
Would love to have it, but damn is it hard to justify.
It comes with 4 XHP35 HI, which I know aren’t as expensive of an emitter as say a 70.2, but still a dollar or two each. No doubt Acebeam gets bulk discount though.
It has an extra circuit for USB-C charging. That’s probably a couple of dollars.
It comes with its own 21700 cell. For us that’s around 10 bucks, but probably less to Acebeam.
Some of these added up, plus having to keep margins high, I can see why the light tops out over 100 bucks and more expensive than a Zebralight.
Having said that though, Zebralights are already pretty pricey, and this still is as well.
