[kinhcan55]

hi guys, can you tell me which flashlight should i buy?
here is what i’m looking for:
-tailcap switch (preferably one touch to turbo)
–500=>600m throw
-medium reflector size (~40mm-50mm)
-onboard charging

• single 18650 or 20700 or 21700 battery
  i like Acebeam L16 and Klarus XT12GT, can you compare them?

[BrySig228]

You can’t go wrong with the acebeam L16. Almost carry mine once a week. Days of the week is not enough to carry all my edc light

Yeah, i prefer L16 to xt12gt, but someone tell me L16 has a problem with battery, the battery runs out so fast, is that true?

[Tangra]

All you need is Convoy C8+. 570 meter beam distance. Save your money for other toys. Just order it with momentary on switch.
This mode is OK for tactical use:
11. 100, 20, strobe

it’s not that bad

Here are my measurements. Runtimes ar short because the lumens are very stable. Flat 1000lm until the end

What is the beam distance at 1000 lumens?
Less than 370 - 350 meter I guess.

REVIEW Acebeam L16 + FR30 Diffuser

This is my review for the Acebeam L16 tactical flashlight, which was bought by myself and for myself without any compensation from manufacturer. INFO of the light here = L16 Tactical Flashlight|AceBeam® Official Store | Flashlights, Tactical Lights [image] I consider myself a fan of Acebeam products, I’ve had many models like K40M, EC50 Gen II, EC35 and willing to buy the new K30 in sand and 5000k. I wanted to buy a tactical flashlight with XHP35 led, rear forward switch, more than 400m thro…

[Tangra]

L16 is good light. But I will never buy flashlight offering only cool white tint.
Especially for thrower best tint for me is around 4000K. If you have smoke, fog, dust in air, you are done with cool white tint.

yes, i like NW too, but i owned my K65 NW, and i think L16 is a tactical light, so it’s not bad to take a CW version

can you tell me does the L16 have temperature sensor? why the lumens are so stable?

[BlueSwordM]

The lumen output is very stable after the temperature sensor reduces power because it uses a BOOST driver, meaning power output is constant for the LED.

This means that until the battery is completely empty, the brightness runtime will be completely regulated and stable.
