[Review] Acebeam W30 LEP 21700 flashlight

That’s probably the only thrower that would benefit from having a smaller head/optic, the beam is too colimated to be usefull imho.

Imagine a 21700 tube sized flashlight with 500+ kcd throw, the first actual real pocket thrower.

Is this light only one mode?

Yes, one mode only by pressing the tail switch for ON and OFF.

This is one light where I’d have probably zero reason to ever actually use it… but I still want one. :laughing:

Well, I would be interested in this light if zoom/focus would be available and also some modes low/med/high - all these would make it a real sure in my case,other then that,the only use would be nighshooting for the actual settings

Nice mate! Thanks for the wonderful review!

Thanks for the review. Been wondering what that beam was going to look like . Thanks again .

Some pictures - don’t know if it’s OK to post here, rip it out mod’s if it’s not. I posted it on CPF because it’s easy to post pix in the forum using Tapatalk - BTW would it be too expensive to have BLF have access to Tapatalk? W30 pix

Acebeam LEP

BLF GT

You should learn how to link images directly.

Huh? do you mean from where I posted them on CPF? because I just dropped the pictures into the tapatalk app on my phone, so there is nowhere to link directly.

It takes some finding out how to post pictures on BLF. But there’s a tutorial (link). In short, the pics should be hosted on a picture hosting site, you copy a URL directly referring to the picture, in the BLF editor click on the image icon, and paste the URL in the pop-op screen in which screen you can also choose at which size you want the picture to appear in your post.

Btw, your pictures are rather over-exposed in the hotspots, you can see the size difference of the hotspots of the BLF-GT and the Acebeam W30, but not the brightness difference.

Edit: my fault, I only looked at the two pictures that Blue re-posted, the full set on CPF provides a very nice comparison! :+1:

(pics from Glenn on CPF) BLF-GT / Acebeam W30, with 500mm zoomed camera.

W30 is clearly out-throwing the BLF GT. Wow! That beamshot could easily be mistaken for a shortarc light.

Yes I do know how to direct link pictures, but as you said they have to be uploaded somewhere on the web and mine aren’t, I have done and been able to do it since 2006 when I joined cpf, I just do it now through Tapatalk for ease and speed. And those two shots blue posted of mine weren’t the best to put here without the reference of the rest imo.
But thanks.

Do I hear requests for a 30 watt BLF version with zoomie lens? It sounds inevitable.

Ha ha good one! but yes I’ll be number 2 on the list……

And a nice Narsil driver……. I’m third in the list

impressive light.

i’m sure i dont need it, but IWANTIT

We’ve got a fourth interested ……maybe in a week there would be 500 interested ,that would make sense for a special blf edition LEP Oh yeah

Is the charge cable a micro usb or a usb c, I have a w10 and it is a usb c cable.

The supplied cable is a microUSB cable for charging the 21700 Acebeam battery outside of the flashlight.
