Acebeam X65 12000 Lumens 1301 Meter throw

MICROBLUEBEAR!

So it begins… :smiley: :+1:

In before the MAP

I’ve readed on a German forum that Acebeam will charge $500 for this light, accupack and charger included. Pfff that’s a lot of money for a flashlight.

And people would still buy it

$500? I recoil from it as from a hot flame. Pun not intended.

YeeHaw!

I still think Acebeam sucks. Just a personal feeling, from previous dealings.

Yep Acebeam sucks. Specially the warranty.

They simply ignored me when I asked about returning or even repairing my K70 whining noise issues, and said they would message me back as soon they find out the solution. It’s been 6 months now and nothing.

I guess I’ll have to deal with it…

Hoping the build quality has been stepped up a bit from the previous x60 and do away with the problematic charging system! I find the k60 and k70 of high quality , hoping it is a continuing trend……….

Price wise, $250-$300 tops

Has to compete with the rc40vnT for me, around 8000lm /500kcd from the xm-l2 PDT 5000k’s

They do seam to be of the stonewalling variety. Personally, I’m happy with the lights I’ve gotten but any contact I’ve tried to make with them has met 0 response thus far. I recently got the EC60 and “Acebeam” was misspelled on the light. Mine says Aecbeam and a few others have posted the same information. I wonder if this might speak to the morale level in-house. I was riding the wave with the K60 K70 lineup but it might be time to ditch, as the saying goes.

I agree… especially after the whole fiasco with the battery carrier issues

Not gonna happen……here.

Be great for a host.

I found a preorder outlet with pricing of 500 English pounds which is about $650. https://www.amazon.co.uk/AceBeam-Lumens-distance-Meters-Flashlight/dp/B01M0SSAEC

Hmmm they could at least take me out to dinner before screwing me! :smiley:

D*MN expensive for a flashlight….

Small and medium size lights are all fine and dandy, but they are not able to provide the combination of both throw and power that I have come to like oh so much.

Manufacturers do provide plenty of high power non-throwy flooders, and they also provide some large throwers that have not quite the power of a big flooder.

Here, we have what appears to be a good faith attempt to provide an enthusiastic level of throw along with an enthusiastic level of power in a factory light. So why knock it?

Five XHP35 in a large light looks like an appealing alternative to the RC40 replete with its six XM-L2 that provides only half the power of this item.

This light occupies a unique, salient point on the size/power/throw continuum, so I eagerly await it. :slight_smile:

Manufacturers need to go back to 3 x (blank) emitters like the TK75, 70, and BTU Shocker. There just isn’t enough range available in the smaller cup SR King-sized multi-emitter lights.

I have been thinking about what you mean by three emitters per large head diameter light. I see your point: Three decent size reflector wells in a large head diameter flashlight with XHP35 emitters would provide for ample power and nice throw, too. Make that five smaller reflector wells, and you have more power, but less throw. Same situation applies with other emitters, too.

It looks like this light will have in-light charging capability, but with eight 18650 cells that are not in a pack, so that the cells can be charged using an external charger and the user can choose his own cells. I want to firstly be able to select the cells that I want to use, and then to be able to charge them outside of the light. If that is the case with this light, count me in: The throw and lumen specs that this light offers are what I want. I know that I can’t get big throw and big power performance from a small light.

+ agree, the tk75 is a good example which imo the 3 reflectors are better over the 4 .Not as many petals, just a better beam …………… Not the best upgrade and still dont know why they did not throw some xpl HI’s in the 2015 edition. Offer a 5000k option and a home run…………pretty much anyway.
