Acebeam X70 OR Imalent MS12?

Hey guys, For any of you who own both lights. Give honest opinion how each compares with each other from quality, output, price, craftsmanship, etc….

NOT biased opinions like some of the youtube guys, and other reviewers that get their lights ” free ” from manufacturer. One guy on YT specifically mentioned he got his light for free. Being high priced light of course he has good bias when reviewing it because he paid nothing for it.

A lot of typical guys on here are average ” joes ” so we have to fork out and buy lights. And most are working regular jobs NOT doing youtube.

Shed some light on subject if you can. Thanks.

In the 11.11 sale of aliexpress, buy ms12, for 375 dollars

I have little time with her so I’ll tell you the positive and negative things I could say about the MS12.

I quite like that it uses batteries 20700, that gives it enough light duration

Holds 15,000 lumens easily @ 20c ambient temperaure

It feels quite robust I think I could survive a fall of a meter, I just hope it never happens to me I like to keep my flashlights in good condition.

It has a lot of flood, I think that in these lanterns is what you are looking for.

good detail of the lights in the head

Negatives

I could say its weight, but I think that’s relative,

The power button is hard to find

The fan is very noisy, and only activates automatically while the flashlight is on, I would have liked to turn it on any level of lumens.

from the x70 I can not comment anything since I do not have it

for the moment it’s the little I can tell you about the MS12

I leave you a photo with the dx80

I have the x70. It’s worth every cent.

Great information. I have some power throwers like BLF GT, Astrolux. I am looking for high out with good range and spill.

These 2 ( Acebeam X70 and MS12 ) are the brightest right now. Trying to make decision.

Did you get good deal? This guys runs $500 plus correct?

If you have any questions about the ms12 let me know :slight_smile:

Yes it does. If you have any questions I’d feel free to answer them. I have a video on YouTube called x70 overview if you are interested in my opinion

Thank You. I will.

Thank You. I will. Youtube link?

to be honest - go for the Imalent R90C!

it has the best beamshape of the "bright monsters"

X70 and MS12 burn your toes and their runtimes degrade them to dragster...

The light feels very cheap and disproportionate compared to Acebeam products. The head is very heavy and has bad balance. In my opinion.

Performance is amazing but I cannot get behind a light that I cannot comfortably hold.

I also own the R90c, and I can only say the word, Incredible, it’s another option…

this is very relative……

use the shoulder strap...

Very true.
I might just be being very picky. On another note…
I feel Imalent is becoming very innovative by incorporating lantern lighting on the sides. I wish they would make the lantern more directional so it doesnt blind you so much when you set it down. Maybe have it ceiling/floor bounce instead of the light straight out.
The specs Imalent is achieving is extraordinary comparing them to other manufacturers.

I may do that. However. What do you do when the batteries in the sealed packs need replaced in 4 years?

If your limited to one big expensive light you may be better off with something like the R90c. I really love my x70 but the beam pattern isn’t as usable as my X65vn which is essentially a lower power version of the R90c and is great for just about everything. That being said, I have zero experience with imalent lights so I have no idea if there worth the cash.

And for fun here’s a x70 beamshot from last night:)

I agree with Martin.

Can you compare the r90c and the dx80?

Martin, is there any chance Imalent would do a neutral white in the R90C?
And, what do you do when the battery pack is either old or no longer charging due to a dead cell or anything? How will you replace them?

Martin, any coupon codes for ImalentR60C? Thanks.
