Very nice headlamp with the SST-20 95CRI!

Is there a way you could put this in other flashlights?

Not only does it have very good color rendition, but it throws quite far too.

That means you could put it in small AAA lights, to EDC 18650 lights, to large throwers for photography :slight_smile:

That looks really nice. I just acquired a H03, I would have gotten this if I knew about it sooner. Not a bad price either.

I really appreciate there being a high-CRI option. The Samsung LH351D seems like it would be a better fit here though. The SST-20 is very throwy, and the SST-20 version of this has nearly twice the cd/lm of the XP-L version.

The SST-20 would be a great fit in some other Acebeam lights, such as the EC35 and the M10.

What is sleep/leakage current when lamp is off ?

I like the idea. What is the CCT for the SST-20 option?

That looks very promising. Getting one as soon as they’re available here. Too bad the lowest mode is a tad high at 5 lumens.

I love my Thrunite TH20 (with 3000K XP-L swapped in), which this is a clone of (and the Fenix HL23, but that has no 14500 support and no infinitely variable brightness). This is finally competition in the single AA category, and with the new 1000mAh 14500 cell it has serious runtime too.

Still find my TH20 more handsome, and it does not have such a loud headband too :stuck_out_tongue:

This would be serious Petzl/H03 competitor if it would have a decent moonlight/firefly sub 0.5lm mode that would nicely substitute for the “loved” red mode of the Petzl headlamps. 5 lumens is simply way too much for preserving night vision.

You @Acebeam would sell better if you would listen to the suggestions this community provides for free.

But I guess after posting no one will ever look here.

The lowest mode on the TH20 is 0.14 lumen :innocent:

Same question. In other words, how long to kill a battery if the light is left turned off?

I realize the marketing accounts won’t know this kind of thing. But this really needs to be a 2-way channel that reaches the engineers/designers.

Hear us!
This $35 headlamp should span the range from 0.1 to 300 lumens, be available in any tint we demand, be PWM-free, run custom firmware that can easily be reflashed, and we demand a direct line to the engineers who designed this!
Then, and only then, will we consider buying it!!!

OK, just kidding. But be aware, if posting your lights in a flashlight forum be ready for triggered flashoholics going ape over a 5 lumen ultra-low.
And it DOES look like ACEBEAM checks the forums because this is offered in sst-20 95+ CRI

I’ve got one in the cart at illumn, just looking for some more stuff to get it up past free shipping. 1xAA headlamps are handy!

Thrunite gives you a good low mode. Acebeam gives you a good emitter. Either could do both and immediately become the community favorite.

Agreed. I really don’t need anything more in a headlamp than what my Thrunite already provides save a mod or soon to come(?) emitter upgrade…which Acebeam must figure is more than enough to make me forget about a proper low mode.

Wrong.
(Edit: one of their distributors made me forget about ‘proper anything’ by offering 15% off through Amazon versus whoever…‘sold’ to an obvious flashaholic).

Acebeam, can you confirm if the light has regulated outputs?

Just ordered the H40 SST-20 4000K 95CRI from Amazon for $29.80 (no tax and free shipping). I like that the weight is only 34 grams (sans battery). The Thrunite TH20 is over twice that weight (76 grams).

4000K per the Amazon description linked above.

Thanks, Al. Good point and price. Not sure who competes at that CRI/output/throw(?)/weight/price point in a headlamp nowadays.

Thanks ActiveAl I just bought the same one……
Can you link me to some Ni-MH cells please….thanks

Woah, thanks for noticing the weight difference, ACTIVE AI!
I’m holding off until I hear something about PWM. I don’t care if a light uses PWM but I’ve gotten some budget lights that it’s hard to tell if it’s pwm or a fast strobe.
(And yes, I’m sounding like the picky flashoholics I described previously but at least get the frequency higher than the <$10 lights!)

I recommend Eneloops if you can afford them - they have great longevity. This eight-pack of AAs at $18.99 is not too bad.
