Hi BLF,
This my review of the Headlight Acebeam H20.
The headlight was won in a giveaway (5th Annual BLF / Old Lumens Scratch Made Light Contest - Official People's Choice Award - VOTE NOW! - #19 by CRX) from CRX, in the sequence of the “5th Annual BLF / Old Lumens Scratch Made Light Contest”.
Thanks CRX, once again, for this opportunity and thank you the for sending the flashlight 
I also received a Stainless Steel AAA flashlight (BLF 348 style) that is will reviewed here.
SO:
Post #1: Acebeam H20 review
Post #2: Beamshots
BTW, this is my first headlight review, and it is also the first headlight I own! And…I’m really happy with it 
So far I couldn’t find any previous review of this headlamp on BLF.

THE PACKAGE
Inside the thick and nice cardboard box I found: the Acebeam H20, 1 removable pocket clip, 2 o-rings, 1 User Manual, 1 Headstrap, Acebeam Warranty + 1 AAA flashlight 
(Well, and silica gel bag 
)

ACCESSORIES
Pocket clip
It can be placed near the head or near the tailcap of the flashlight! I didn’t put it in as I will probably use the headlight as….headlight, and the pocket clip cannot be used with the headstrap.
Headstrap
Adjustable headstrap. The middle band will help to hold the flashlight as it is a bit heavy .
User Manual
Well written, and with enough information about the flashlight use and maintenance!
_
THE FLASHLIGHT
Very well machined all over it! It has nice knurling on the battery tube and tailcap, and deep fins in the head to help heat dissipation.
It feels good to the touch, despite this is not a matte finish or soft anodization. It fits well in medium sized hands, and is comfortable to hold.
The “press and hold” to switch ON or OFF may be harder when the Acebeam H20 is on the headstrap. However, if the headstrap is well adjusted, there will be no problem to turn it ON or OFF with one hand.
HEAD
The head as deep fins to dissipate heat and help cooling. The switch to turn ON/ OFF and change modes is on the top of the head.
It has AR Coated lens and a not very deep Orange Peel reflector, that allows the hotspot to be very large comparing to other.
The LED can be perfectly seen, involve in a white gasket.
The head is (was!!) glued to the battery tube!
BATTERY TUBE
Well lubricated threads. The upper threads, more than grease, have glue. There are sealing o-rings in both top and bottom of the battery tube.
The head and tube are glued and there is a reference in the user manual that says:
“Please do not disassemble the sealed head, doing so may damage the flashlight an no warranty”
Well, I guess my warranty is no longer ensured then
TAIL
Magnetic tailcap. Composed by 1 spring soldered in 3 places to a PCB.

TINT COMPARISON
I took some indoor photos to check the beam profile of this Acebeam H20 and its tint that I do like a lot.

OBSERVATIONS:
- I would like the headlight didn’t have memory, always starting in Firefly mode;
- Also, it would be nice to have a shortcut to Turbo (like a double click).
- I like that there are no strobe or other blinky modes
- This is a very well made flashlight, solid, robust and above all with a splendid tint!!!
I am liking this headlight and soon will be using it as so, mainly for inside works.
Outside, it has a wonderful tint as well, but the large hotspot does not allow it to throw very far. I
n a slightly lighted environment, I would say that it is nice to see something with good definition at 35/40 meters max.
From them on, the beam loses strength and it becomes harder to check things with definition.
Thanks again CRX and the for this
