That sounds ominous. I hope they are not giving up on the fan cooling like Olight did.
Hopefully they get it all resolved! I have my wallet ready!
I really hate how the more I see this thing the more I want it. 40,000 lumens with a 1km throw is just hilarious and absurd and I love it.
Edit: Still not in love with the price though. But that’s retail MSRP.
Interesting, I assume the first batch originally used Panasonic NCR-B, what cells are they using on the upgraded version?
Fujitsu is at least several thousand times the size of Acebeam and Olight. They have a huge amount of resources and thousands of engineers to perform research and development for products that sell in the millions. In comparison, Acebeam probably has a handful of engineers that develop products that sell in the hundreds or maybe thousands. For a company the size of Fujitsu to develop this capability is an achievement worth noting but for a company like Acebeam to successfully develop this feature is remarkably impressive.
I just hope Acebeam don’t end up failing like Olight. Would be funny if a bargain brand like Astrolux end up as the only one that can make an actively cooled flashlight.
I think most of the problem Acebeam is encountering have to do with making the fan water resistant, but they don’t have to if they used a separated motor and propeller assembly with a waterproof bearing in the shaft. Motor remains isolated and dry in the driver bay.
They’re probably limiting themselves by using regular computer fans where the motor and controller is inside the propeller, this makes the whole assembly exposed the elements.
Yes, that qualifies. One tablet that was released in 2013 and seemingly only sold in Asia. So not many devices at all.
I think that proves it’s definitely a problem.
What do mean? There are/were several active cooled lights on the market. More info on them here.
I think only 2 are still being sold.
I suggest to any manufacturer with a fan-cooled light to just do away with the ‘Waterproof’ guarantee and start selling.
I myself do not want a ‘lighted, bright torpedo’ … 
Im still curious how good or bad the battery life on total runtime will be, it cant be very high if its gonna use 8x18650 batteries 3000mah… Compared to whats out there they cant really do magic…
oh wow someone fears the astrolux mf03 a little it seems 
Hopefully they resort back to the control ring! Lol
Two very different lights. They are not direct competition.
It’s not stopping Acebeam and Imalent pitting pop can lights against search lights in the lumens race.
I’ll be impressed with the first brand to hit 50k.

This guy again. :person_facepalming:
Sorry, didn’t see your comment.
I can’t think of something right, and I didn’t say anything about a device that’s being submerged.
There are really thousands different ‘devices’ that are using fans and pretty sure that there are more than you know that are ‘IP’ rated.
Really, a fan is nothing more than an electronic motor and those can easily work underwater. The only thing an electronic motor needs is a changing magnetic field and water doesn’t change that. All the other electronics can be even extern or coated to make it waterproof. The main problem is making a waterproof connection to the inside for the wires.
Yes a waterproof fan is probably expensive but not impossible.
The lumen monster hater, stick to threads about 200 lumen high CRI specials.
Yes, Dmitriyrus mentioned that model in my thread on Actively Cooled lights, but I never put it in post #1. I guess I can do that now.
You’ve gotten your facts wrong.
Again.
