This is my next light. The person who supplies all of my Acebeam lights has not gotten his hands on one, yet. (USA)
Factory beamshots are nice to look at, but I like beamshots that are not posted by the manufacturer. These two, plus posted specs, are what I use to envision what the beam performance/beam profile looks like.
There are two modified items in this size/performance/emitter classification that I agonized over for many months, tossing and turning and thinking about pulling the trigger on, that I skipped. This item, however, is a Buy Now for me. My supplier emailed me an hour ago in response to my serious inquiry, and told me he will let me know when he gets his hands on this dedicated throw monster.
I feel criminal using the K75 in urban environments. Whereas with the T21vn I could point it around discretely without flooding everything around the hotspot, but with the K75 it’s like I’m just barfing out light everywhere in the general area I’m pointing. What a monster.
In these pics I’m pointing at a face of a parking garage 700 meters away. Camera settings were locked at f/2.0, 1/20sec, iso 640 for all 3 shots.

K75:
The T21vn decently lights up the middle part of the face of the parking garage, and barely the tops of the trees just in front of it.
The K75 lights up the entirety of the garage’s face, wraps around it to the right side, lights up the trees in front of it, lights up the trees in front of those trees, and the spill completely lights up the tree that’s about 20 feet in front of me to the left in the foreground.
Could you post more beam shots please? Also, how does the beam stack up against say MF04 or blf gt? Would you say it hits 1.5m cd as advertised? I own a K70 and am seriously considering buying a K75 when it becomes available here.
The dimensions on acebeam’s website seem accurate. Maybe I can take a pic of it next to some popular lights? I guess the most popular ones I have in my collection would be E07, ROT66, CatapultV6, and TN40. I don’t think people like the plunger style lights as much, but I sure do!
I’ma try to hit a local park in the next couple nights to get some beam shots there. There’s a bridge in that overlooks a river valley.
Awesome! Please include the RT90TS in your pic too if you happen to own it as part of the comparison… or any high output thrower like the X65/mini or TN40S. (As far as the impression and adrenaline you feel once you power it up to turbo!)
Thanks for comparing the lights. However I would much rather see a comparison between the Astrolux MF04S, which would be a better light to compare K75 to. The MF04S has an 70.2 and not a 35hi.
If Acebeam wanted to immediately de thrown the Astrolux and BLF GT, they should have made the k75 with active cooling. Just saying.
