HONDARIDER, I’m suspicious of the site too, it doesn’t seem like real information. As this site has a product that not even the official site comments on the flashlight …. very strange.
I doubt it is the White 2.1. Acebeam lumens are usually over rated 10-20% though their throw ratings are usually under rated. They measure using the Acebeam calibration.
It just a sample pic of the new product, the factory give us the design first before they start actually manufacture it.
That’s why nitetorch.com post earlier than acebeam.com
Nitetorch is an exclusive agency for Acebeam.
they got latest news for product from Acebeam.
You could now check Acebeam.com, they have posted it there, just a few days late than Nitetorch.
Yes, I hastily bought one from Nitetorch, after 5 days shipping tracker status is still ‘processing’. But I’ve bought from them before without complaint, so will just have to wait.
My question is how Acebeam have quoted a large increase in lumens in comparison to the E10, whilst using the same emitter and TIR.
Interestingly Flashaholics new review of this light does show that it has what appears to be a different beam/hotspot in comparison to the E10.
To be explored when I can compare them on delivery…
I don’t think it’s the same emitter if I had to guess E10 is using the Osram 1.1 and the L17 is using the osram 2.1
If it’s the same emitter, then the E10 is under driving the emitter.
I didn’t get the expensive shipping so my L17 is probably going to show up mid August
