Acebeam K75

Next level: Imalent with 300mm reflector :person_facepalming:

I think that most of us want something light that so as to be fully satisfied. :smiley: https://www.google.com/search?q=antiaircraft++lights&client=firefox-b&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwi9xIvD3ZTeAhWmtIsKHS76AVUQsAR6BAgEEAE&biw=981&bih=683

I wonder about the specs.
BLF has 120mm reflector and does 1.2Mcd so the Acebeam with 150mm reflector. should be able to do a lot better……more like 2.1Mcd

I wonder about the ratio of people who buy it becuse they really need it versus people who buy it to satisfy their inner child :smiley:

1:1000? :smiley:

That ratio is 0.

‘Need’ is a tricky word. Need to show off, need to giggle! Both good reasons in my book.

I’m guessing the 150 mm should be doing better than 1,200,000?

I’d say “Inner Child” wins by a sweeping landslide majority. :+1:

I think very, very, very few people actually ‘need’ this light…. much less have a legitimate use for it . :smiley::smiley:

I certainly don’t need one but…….I probably will buy one :smiley:

To modd it to reach over 2,5Mcd, of course.

I dont like this, it should be the actual lumens and nothing else, iknow astrolux can make on theirs mf02 3000 lumens claims but neither comes close to that. but still nice to see a 150mm head… whats next 200 ? :smiley:

Being at home I took my excel calculation sheet and came up with these - not overly optimistic - numbers:

Optimal 150mm reflector, 95% effective
Led 100% centered and focussed
Lens 96% transmission

XHP35 HI producing 140 cd per square mm = 1,86 Mcd
XP-L HI V3 producing 165 cd per square mm = 2,34 Mcd
Oslon Black Flat producing 245 cd per square mm = 3,47 Mcd

All in theory of course, but my conclusion is that the K75 should do a hell of a lot better with an XHP35 HI getting
decent power.
1,2 Mcd makes no sense with a reflector that big.

Cheers,
Nico

Amen… :smiley:

Soooo……………………any news on this yet?

Wow. This+extension tube is gonna be impressive with some mods.

This looks absurd. That thing will be so head-heavy that it won’t be usable.

My bet is it won’t be.

And that the balance point will be right in front of the [on/off] switch.

I would bet you are exactly right, I had read about people saying the Astrolux MF04/s was the same way. Looked very unbalanced and than once in the hand, felt balanced and didn’t fatigue the hand more than you would expect for a light of its size.

It depends on how thick the aluminum housing is around the reflector. It doesn’t look like there’s much, aside from the cooling fins towards the bottom, but those aren’t a big solid chunk. The weight of the handle with its 4 batteries should offset it for the most part. However, I will admit something like the T21 in 2x18650 configuration is more comfortable and less of a hassle to hold than my TN40.
