Acebeam X70 - 40000 lm - 8*18650 - Active fan cooling

As for “how much brighter”. I think it kinda depends on the reflector design. With flood lights, 30k vs 100k lumen flood lights, there isn’t a MASSIVE difference. Where it gets interesting is the lights with larger, deeper, reflectors with a range of 800-1000+ meters. While a light like the WS10 might be 250 lumens and 1000m, it’s a pencil thin beam. So with massive numbers like this, instead of illuminating a door 1000 meters away, you can brightly illuminate the side of a warehouse from 1000 meters away.

The reflector where XHP70.2 sit in seems to be much shallower than MS12. I think it will be much more floodier than MS12. The middle XHP35 HI will be in charged of the throwing mostly. Wonder can it hit 200kcd.

I imagine the XHP35HI alone would get 200kcd, looks like a decently deep reflector

From picture it seems to be about same size with Utorch UT02, that is why I think it might hit 110kcd for the middle XHP35 HI, and the rest XHP70.2 can make up the 90kcd. Just a wild guess. :sunglasses:

The UT02 is really weak. It’s only putting out 800 to maybe 900 lumen. I’m sure Acebeam can bump that up to twice the lumens.

That is true UT02 is weak as stock. But I think it is quite tough to reach 1800lm for Acebeam. We shall see how it perform in Q4 2018 when it is released. So excited with all these giant flashlights. Too bad not enough fund to purchase them at this price.

why no steel bezel? would look alot better imo, but curious how it will perform tho still not certain if it was a good idea ditch the internal fans? that “thing” looks sure odd haha it will be noisy as hell probably.

I agree.So,I have to stay with my so far reliable DX80 :slight_smile:

I should have bought DX80 when it was at $179, but i have never seen it at this price, i think i saw Jason mentioned it in some thread. This MS12 and R90C design are really not convenient to do topup charging, and i use turbo only for big lights.

The handle looks like it takes a 18650 to power the fan and the switch doesn’t control the light, I don’t see any connector for external power/switch on the flashlight itselft.

This is what everyone else sees, as well.

hm okay, so roughly 1 minute highest only ? not that impressive imo :frowning: for that lumens a light needs some serious cooling power then it shows… i still dont get why use 18650 and not 21700 ??

okay seems it will also run at 15k at highest then without thermal stepdown,

Power Mode:
Ultra Low: 625lms, 24 hours;
Low: 3250lms, 5 hours;
Med: 8000lms, 2 hours;
High: 25000lms~16000lms, 8 minutes + 48 minutes;
Turbo: 60000lms~15000lms, 55 seconds + 50 minutes;
Strobe: 10000lms, 3.5 hours;

but yes if the x70 delivers close to the stated turbo lumens then we have a new lumen king.

Its not bad at all that it will run highest for almost a minute or the second highest for 8 min, but i expected more then 15k nonstop runtime tho…

I think the 3 fan design could have been way better at cooling. Like 25,000 continous, not just 8 minutes. It’s a let down.

It can only do the highest for 55 seconds probably because it draws 24A from each battery. Plus the heat. :wink:

Will those 18650 run on its knees or ? i feel sorry for them almost :frowning: Still curious how the old proto with the 3 fans on 40k how much runtime they got etc… guess we will never find out.

I don’t know what you’re saying. Is that a typo?

hm okay, yea i meant will that push the batteries limit to max or is there still room to push more lumens if heat is not an issue?

This arguably is enough close range flood for anyone. No need at all for a vn version. I think the lumens race is over. There is such a thing as too much light. From here onwards refinements in cooling would be the go. The turn off once again is the small throw. Its just not enough by a long shot for this kind of output. These lights come off as boring. I know why noone is making these lumen monsters throw far, because the head will be too big.

The VTC6 data sheet says 15A continous and 30A if you reduce output when they reach 80°C.

Max. discharge current vs. time:
30A-40A less than 40 seconds
55A less than 19 seconds
80A less than 6 seconds
(Never discharge above 80°C)
