Acebeam's upcoming X80

Can this light use with x65 battery pack?? I am sure it can… what do you guys think?

Some update pictures of X80.
I was going to order Nitecore SRT 9: but, I decide to hold after I see the photos.




Best of all, no more green tint like X45

I like the exhaust vent on it. And it’s a lot smaller than I thought.

This looks like something someone at BLF would custom build for fun, not something I’d expect to see commercially-produced. 25k lumens, only 1.1 cd / lm, and only one minute at a time on the highest mode. It’s like a flash bulb — very very bright in a wide area for a short time. For comparison, the Meteor is often considered pretty floody… and it gets 4.5 cd / lm. Its beam is four times as focused as the X80.

Would probably be pretty useful for photography, but I’m not sure when else I’d need so many lumens at such a short distance.

It’s not exactly a light bulb either though… those are more like 0.1 cd / lm, or maybe 0.2-0.3 cd / lm when used in a directional lamp.

At the other end of the spectrum, there’s the BLF GT. It only emits 10% as many lumens, but the beam is 46 times as intense with ~500 cd / lm. Useless for up-close tasks but great for seeing things far away.

Not really sure what to make of the X80.

Thanks TK for the cd/lm number calculations, very insightful!

Weird enough I’m very much attracted to the X80, not because of the output but because it just looks really good. :slight_smile:

To add to the cd/lm discussion: lm/cd (the reciprocal of cd/lm) is an approximate measure of the beam area (solid angle), and so the square root of the lm/cd ratio is a measure of the angular beam width.

lumens/(mm^3)

(it’s a guy thing, hehe?)

Never owned an Acebeam light before. Their prices seem high though they do have some nice looking lights. The Acebeam K30 looks kinda cute. 3x18650 powering a single XHP 70.2 to 5200 lumens.

^ $130,-

Ugh…

I like the X80, can’t falut it but the DT70 is still the flood king for me due to that throw and subtle gradual hotspot to spill graduation. It looks like a 100,000 lumens to the naked eye!

Was looking on Amazon for this light and found it for £8.99, yes £8.99 and ordered it to see what would happen. Well it got despatched and I’ve got a tracking number but god knows what will turn up.

I saw it too. I was like nahhh let’s not even try that… :smiley:

Empty box if anything at all.

Be awesome if it worked.

About what light you say please? I’ ll give it a try also. :smiley:

The x80 but it’s not listed at £8.99 anymore.

$130 for a X80 ? u sure….that is super deal :wink:
mine cost way more than that. i hope u meant K30
btw my low quality for fun review here :

DT70 are much throwier than X80 I think. At first I was like this X80 was too floody with not much throw but like what Marshal from GoingGear said it’s floodiness is much useful when comes to lighting up the entire area. So now I also appreciate a very very floody light too…haha :+1:

$130 for a X80 ?

K30

So what ever happened with you amazon order?
