Acebeam x70

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:

Jason how is that gonna help suck air in ? i dont get it u want hot air go out from that light no?

also i see on that pic no more steel bezel, the proto with 3 fans had that…

Larger, yes, but cooling efficiency is going to be affected by the surface area the air flows over. If it’s just blowing air over the exterior then it’s not going to be very efficient at all compared to the old design.

That style of fan sucks the air in from the side and blows it out directly onto the light. The air makes a 90-degree turn with this style of fan. So it’s not going to be sucking any air out of the light. It’s strictly going to be blowing air.

Here’s a picture describing the air flow from these fans.

This style of fan is more efficient and quieter than the traditional axial style fan like we saw in the original X70 prototype.

The question is how much surface area is it able to blow air across.

okok roger that.

Since this is not April 1st, I take that as being real? OMG that’s such a letdown after all this hype! Even Imalent was able to get an internal fan in there although it is not very useful but still…

what tests did you make to conclude the Imalent Fan is not useful?

An owner of the MS12 came to that conclusion.

We all suspected it when they said it can only do 15000 continous. I think a better fan setup could do a higher continous output.

Works or not I couldn’t hold my MS12 after 7 minutes.
