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
It would be helpful if we could all clarify what is meant by things like 1.1 and 2.1 and stuff. Because I have no idea what emitters you’re referring to.
There is a 1mm^2 and 2mm^2, and both come in 3030 or 4040. The 1mm^2 4040 is very rare and already discontinued by Osram. The two 3030 variants are already in a few flashlights out there (among others, the Noctigon KR1 offers both emitters as an option). I know BLFers have gotten examples of the 2mm^2 4040 emitter (“Boost HX”), but I don’t know a reliable source for low quantities of this emitter (which is not to say that there isn’t one). I believe LED4Power and Vinh (Skylumen) have had their hands on some.
CSLNM1.TG: 1mm^2, 3030 footprint.
CSLPM1.TG: 2mm^2, 3030 footprint
CULNM1.TG: 1mm^2, 4040 footprint (“Boost HL”)
CULPM1.TG: 2mm^2, 4040 footprint (“Boost HX”)
Because of the current rarity of the Boost/4040 variants, I’ve been assuming that when I see things like “WF1” (White Flat 1mm^2) it’s referring to CSLNM1.TG.
The osram led’s VinhNyugen uses, he refers to them like that, I’m guessing because they are a slightly newer generation of Osram led’s
I’ve never scene a broshure or website that shows the different emitters they make, only that he’s one of the few ways to get an awesome compact throwy flashlight. It’s probably an abbreviation for something but to know for sure you’d need to ask him
