Review: Acebeam K60 (1 x XHP70 | 4 x 18650)

the does it again, thanks for the review :wink:
Makes me want to see one with a neutral tint. (yes I’m a snob) LOL

simply

the

best

Gotta buy one of these bad boys, hardly bigger than my K40 and put out like 5 times the amount of light. Any deals going on for this light at the moment?

Imagine if it could be used for diving, OMG! Could extend the turbo timer because the water would keep it nice and cool!

Acebeam? Pretty please?

P.S: for the love of God would someone hurry up and organise a GB for this light!!!

Excellent review. Thanks for producing the review and posting. A very impressive torch. Wish I had one!

PM me the details pleeeeease!

Very nice review!

After I bought my FF4 about 2 years ago, I found it difficult to find a better alternative, as its brightness and throw was a hard act to follow. Its only drawback, being an HID, was the lack of low lumen modes, very low “mpg” in battery consumption, etc.

Now comes this K60, approaching HID territory but with the good attributes of a led light, among others….I’m sold.

Very creative and thorough review, not to mention those beautiful beamshots. Thank you very much the !

On the other hand, does anyone face the problem of unable to turn on the K60 after inserting the batteries carrier? Because this is what I face with my ex-K50 and I was very unhappy with this issue. Maybe those who have the K50 know what kind of problem I am talking about.

Great review The :beer:

I agree to your review, the K60 is an awesome light, the only thing I would ask AceBeam to fix is to add a small chamfer to the inside wall of the tailcap where you put your thumb to activate the light (Or just remove it completely!), as indicated in the picture (Great pics BTW!)

Pretty surprising to see it out throwing the TN32! This light really is approaching HID territory.

Nice review,this is the first Acebeam to make me want to part with some cash. Great beamshots and teardown thanks =the=. I was wondering is the led pcb aluminium or copper?

amd comparison beam shots!I still can’t believe how this thing throws a wall lime a skyray but the wall keep on going and going and going,my son and I took his small sun modded with an xhp50 that was impressive than the k40 more impressive and than the x60 which kit up a hill at over 300 meters and the look on the cows faces when the light hit them I don’t know who was more shocked me or the cows lol!
Does anyone know about the Acebeam x25 with the xpl yet?

First of all, thank you everyone for the compliments!


[quote=Old Mate] I was wondering is the led pcb aluminium or copper? [/quote]

Copper, with direct thermal path, just like in every higher end Acebeam light.

Do you mean T25 with XHP50? I have one of those. About 3200lm (OTF, 30s) and throws pretty well. Would be very suitable for a police or night guard.

Comparison to K60 (Mouse over for K60):

The T25 is no slouch either! Great shots…

The photos are very good as in all your reviews, appreciate the time you put into doing such complete review.

May I ask, there is always good weather on your night shots - do you edit the sky on pictures? :)

Great review, I really enjoyed reading it!

Thanks!

No, I don't edit the sky. :) It's always good weather in Finland (or then I just happen to shoot during good weather :))

Editing beamshots would be cheating, so I just convert them from NEF to JPEG (all photos of that set with the same settings - of course), crop if necessary, and resize.

Hi Guys, can someone explain the below from Acebeam website re: the K60.

Also, any specials on this flash light atm?

caution:

highly recommend using unprotected high drain battery (ARC18650H-250A) which at least 20A 2500mAh, the circuit might be tripping if use protected one.

Cheers.

Thanks a lot for this great review!

Is there a mouseover comparison K40M vs K60 long distance? This is exactly the comparison I’m interested in.

How did you remove the glue?
I have a K60 with defective driver I could probably repair or get a replacement driver for, but failed at the glued screws.
(The defect: it’s direct drive in all modes but low).

Sure. Here we go: 280m beamshots:

..and same image, cropped:

The answer is heat. Hot air (280°C if I remember correctly) applied directly to the glue makes it soft, after which you can press the screwdriver in.

Is Acebeam willing to offer you replacement driver?
