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

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)

Well i somewhat agree, since this kind of lights are so big they should make them a little bigger but improve the cooling capacity it would only make the lights of this size even better.

thanks jasonww for info.

OK.
So,why the title of this thread remains saying 40000Lm?

When will they start shipping out the Acebeam X70 flashlight?

I’m disappointed the X70 doesn’t have a Firefly mode like the 4 lumens on the X65. Sadly, the lowest mode is now 625 lumens.

The two most utilized modes on our X65 are Firefly and Turbo Max.

yes weird , but a light this size u cant expect firefly mode, even my x9r has lowest 200lumens…

+1000.

The MS12 has sidelights that are probably 20 lumens at their lowest setting and Turbo can run for over 5 minutes indoors!
I’ll probably wait for Imalent to hit 80k.

I have not heard anyone suggest that the handle was made out of plastic. Only the actual fan itself is made of plastic, everything else should be metal.

Btw, here is the air flow directions.

It looks as if the air is simply blown across the exterior surface.
