Hey m4d m4x, if I’m already subscribed to your site do I have to join a mailing list to be notified about the MS18, or do I automatically get an email?
Holy crap these lights coming out of china are amazing. Acebeam looks to be falling behind with their x65.
So we finally have a high output thrower that goes beyond some of the oldschool incan and hid monsters, except in a state of the art lite package. Crazy.
But the r90c alone droped output very quickly after just 3-4mins, so is the new r90ts going to be the same or worse?
I hope the R90TS will have active temperarure regulation for that price. My R90C output just continues to dimish and doesnt know how to go back up even when the light cooled down by the cold wind outdoors.
Just incase you weren’t aware:
Acebeam is a 100% based & manufactured Chinese company. (it can appear they’re US or other high end brand due to their extremely high prices)
Acebeam released the X70 last year which trumped the 53,000 lumen Imalent MS12 with 60,000 lumens
Acebeam also produced the X80 with 25,000 lumens then the X80GT with 32,500 lumens
Since the battle began, Imalent rushes to market first but Acebeam has always answered back shortly after with something that trumps the Imalent product.
Acebeam originally announced the X70 at 45,000 lumens here on BLF and then prior to the official launch the MS12 dropped with 53,000 lumens. Out of nowhere the Acebeam official launch was boosted to 60,000 lumens
That said, I will be shocked if they have a hidden warhead that eclipses 100,000 lumens. I’m also really excited though, because the only company willing to take lumens to these levels have been Imalent and Acebeam. The battle is what’s driven the insane output leaps in just a few years
Looks like fw over protecting the leds. Someone need to highlight this to Imalent. It is no fun if user can’t indulge in turbo output again after short rest.
Well you actually could reactivate turbo. However I just want the flashlight to have active temperature regulation such that it is capable of finding a stable equilibrium output on its own
Active temperature regulation will be slow in response to external temperature change because the heat generated internally in turbo mode is very high and in very fast way.
I wish Imalent let user turn off temperature protection, or set a higher temperature limit for flasholics, let us control it ourselves. I used to feel the temperature with my hand. When it is very hot to hold, it is time to switch off and level down.
