Are you looking for the longest throw flashlight ?

@Rusty Joe

I think it is 60mm head.

Ohh? Then it's like a different class, so the #'s would be quite good then, and can't compare to the K1.

not to mention in usa, in most states there are rules for big game hunt, you can’t do it at night, even shining a light at a deer at night may get you in troubles, it is called spotlighting.

Yep - I understand coyotes and wild boar are bout the only game for night hunting in the US?

luminarium iaculator is a hunter and sells to hunters. I understood for rifle mounts, aspherics are preferred by him so as not to light the surrounding area. Thought he also thinks and stated “pencil beams” have a good application in hunting. I dunno myself - I only hunted in daylight, but maybe there are differing usage scenarios or preferences for night hunting?

Also there’s been a push by a few New Zealand hunters here on BLF to always get more throw, and again, more throw generally means tighter hot spots. They’ve worked closely with MaxToch on Maxtoch’s high performing throwers.

yea, pretty much, you can also hunt small game, and do pest control at night. depends on a state too, i can’t say anything about NZ, their laws may allow nigh hunt for big game.

i.m sure l19 is a great light, i have few AB lights i like them, great quality, and design, but to call it hunting, idk, hunting is like tactical, marketing tricks

Hello Acebeam, any news on the w40/w50?

Hello Acebeam, any news on the w40/w50?

Would like to know as well.

How long before they come out with the L20

How long before they come out with the L20

probably next month, since that’s the start of 2021

Wonderful , where are the discount codes ?

I emailed them repeatedly, and they finally replied to just simply refer me to their facebook site.

Yep, head diameter is 60 mm: https://www.acebeam.com/long-range-hunting-flashlight-19. Dunno how I missed this, or it was updated. I found a page on their site but didn't have the price or much details. Funny they avoid listing the full OSRAM part # - they list a "PM1", so could be either KW CSLPM1.TG or KW CULPM1.TG. Based on the lumens rating, it should be the Boost HX (KW CULPM1.TG).

422 kcd seems possible in a 60 mm light, but the 1650 lumens rating sounds aggressive.

The lumen rating is believable for thre boost HX if properly binned and driven. If you look at the head, you can see extra heatsinking. That tells me they’re driving the emitter pretty hard (all the Osram L lights do). Osram lists or up to 1900 lumens. I’m super excited about this one. I’ve been waiting for an optic light with a boost hx and am glad Acebeam was first.

Nothing personal. I never heard of anyone hunting with a flashlight. You think the animals are that stupid? The idea of hunting is to outsmart what you are hunting for. Shining a high powered flashlight in the dark will give away your position and give the animals a sense of danger to move to a safer area. All you need is a dog and a gun.

Dunno about that. My dog was a lousy shot.

[mgracia85]

I’m not an avid hunter, but I am pretty sure here in Texas you can hunt hog at night. They are an invasive species so the easier to get rid of them, the better

[Beto]

Still no word on what type of LED being used in L19

[Rayoui]

The Olight Javelot Turbo has very similar specs. It is also using Boost HX and rated at 422,500cd/1300m but is using a reflector in a 63mm head rather than a TIR. I’d be very interested to see some side by side beamshots of these two.

It’s the Osram Boost HX (supposedly).

[chouster]

It’s overpriced.

Fireflylite T9R is basically same dimensions, throws farther, is cheaper, even with the SBT90.2 it throws as far as this one while producing 3x the lumens and still costs less.

True, a Noctigon K1 with W2.2 (4040 Boost HX, which is probably the same emitter as in the L19) is cheaper and performs better.
