Acebeam x70

true but there are modded light that are much higher… than 40K

yes true, but talking production lights nothing ive seen that comes close to the x70 yet…

Not true DX80 32K lumen…

Not sustainable, and quality control has been even worse than Haikelite lights sometimes.

I own one… quite sustainable…. and quality is just fine… at this point in the cycle… most kinks are out of the light…

well yes but imalent has alot of quality issues imo its worse then olights x9 even tho more lumens the body cant handle that lumens from what ive seen. I wouldnt call that brand quality exactly acebeam and olight are on a whole different level.

You can get 2 DX80s for the price of one of these…Was expecting at least 50k at this price. I think they can push out more lumens but they’ll do it after a competitor releases something brighter.

Umm, that would be extremely hard to do even with 8 cells.

With with 8 30Qs, you would need to push above 500W! At a max of 70W per cell, that would mean a max of 560W! At 50k lumens, we are at the limits of 8 cell packs unless we go bigger.

Also, even with active cooling, how are you going to get rid of 500W in an LED flashlight? You would need to push an absolutely massive heatsink with a vapor chamber and some monster fans, or watercooling, which is not doable in a flashlight.

The DX80 can only do 7k lumen continous. The X70 should do much more. 20k, 30k, maybe even 40k continous. For those that need this massive continous output, there is nothing even close.

That’s a lot of assumptions…. as for the DX80 let’s define continuous… eg… maintains without issue?

Because I can sure fire it up at 32K lumen and keep it there for a while with mine… its still ok to hold as long as you hold it via the battery tube…

@hehaw77, first off, many reviews have noted that the light can’t actually output 32 000 lumens, but more like 28000 lumens. So less heat is produced there.

Second, can it hold that brightness for more than 3 min? Well, time it. See how long you can hold it before it either goes down to 7000 lumens because of the timer, or because it thermal throttles.

It has been noted that the DX80 under sustained load, gets very hot until the thermal sensor kicks it and thermal throttles it down.

I just finished telling you the quality issues with this light are pretty much fixed… your living in the past… if you buy the 2nd gen ones they are just fine…or by now 3rd or 4th gen…. if you owned one you would know… not just hearing whiners…

Well yes the Olight is a high quality light … their factory and their processes for making a light are quite impressive.
But again your “paying” for it….

Can’t speak for all of you but I’m grateful to Imalent for pushing the boundaries with their light. No one “to date” in a production environment has topped it yet.

While I’m waiting for the release of the Acebeam x70 its obvious they are having issues controlling the heat/ max output combo.

I just hope they don’t pull an “Olightened” moment and take 2 years to release the light similar to Olight announcing theirs 2 years ago but just releasing it now…

Putting pricing on your website which by the way is now 649 ; don’t think they received a good reception @ 749 lol…

Doesn’t mean anything till they release the light; otherwise its just hogwash….

Did any of you see Olights initial release of the x9r? With the fan you would slot it in on the side of the head etc…?
It’s obvious why they abandoned it…. easier to just restrict max lumen to 3min and have the user cycle in and out of it , than have a user stay in that mode say for 10-20 min….

Again I own one do you? Have you held one in your hand and used it? It does output 32K lumen and over time yes it will go down… as will all lights putting out that much power….

Now to set things right here… I’m not 100% sure of the time 20 min or something like that… one user took it up north in –20 weather and was able to keep max lumen for a long period of time can’t recall the exact time 15 min 20 min I can’t remember… obviously the weather played a role.

Now I’m not an Imalent fanboy but for people that don’t actually have one and just read old posts … that don’t carry a lot of weight now… its time to take a different look at the DX80 … still for the price… can’t go wrong….

lol…. spare me seery… I don’t know what DX you have but mine holds for quite a while… and to compare it to a grocery store flashlight is ridiculous and I own acebeams, Olights, etc… eagletec… and there isn’t that much of a disparity like your making it sound

hmm… ok sell me yours then… I’ll gladly take it from you since its only grocery quality say 20 bucks should cover it? Just send me your email and I”ll paypal you the money…

no internal fans ?

external fan in a handle ?

????

wow thats weird, must say it looks very clumsy and ugly that design even for an acebeam i expected more…. so that thing is gonna suck out all the hot air somehow or?

Wait is this a joke? :smiley:

That’s a squirrel cage fan, it’s blowing air in (or at the side of it).

Being waterproof was never a problem, it was just the fans getting wet that could be an issue over time. The fan will still get wet, but here it looks like it’s easy to replace.

I’m not sure it would work better at cooling or not. It would have to route the cooling air through the center of the flashlight, of course. If it just blows air onto the exterior of the light, the cooling will be inferior.

That looks like a new Acebeam model and there is no trace of the old fan setup. Seems kind of real.

It’s like when we were joking about making an active cooled flashlight by strapping a fan to the outside of a regular flashlight. It looks like they actually did that. That was supposed to be a joke. :person_facepalming:
