I find it good looking, but “intuitive and practical” really made me LOL once I saw it was a 70.2 and double click on.
If there was a momentary memorized on with a single press and hold and moon with a click hold this UI could actually work for me. But the SST70 would have been a MUCH better choice for a light this size. Fenix is getting that right at least. Nichia 144 or B35AM should be offered for High CRI
I like the concept, but can’t stand the look. I’m a fan of other ACEBEAM styles but this one is too tacky for me. Makes it look cheap. I don’t mind the idea of a double click to get to turbo to stop accidentally turbo flaming your pants off but needs to be single click for other modes.
In my humble opinion, an optional electronic lockout via 4 clicks from OFF is more convenient and more common. I have some doubts that „doubleclick“ from off is a good way to prevent accidental activation. Moreover, it clashes with the convention to turn on with turbo mode.
Maybe you could consider putting a Getian FC40 HighCRI LED into E70. It might cope better with these new design elements on the tube. To me E70 looks like a typical „lifestyle“ product but not like a tool for tough business - even worse as it seems the principle „function follows form“ is used here. The battery tube is a key element to pick up and dissipate the excess heat coming from the flashlight‘s head.
Double-click for on to prevent accidental activation is kind of irrelevant. This is what manual lockout or electronic lockout is for. This will be a deal-breaker for a lot of enthusiasts, but to be fair, it may appeal to regular users not used to double-click for turbo.
Why not revise the UI to remove the double-click and just make it single click?
Xhp70.2 in 6 volt generates a lot of heat at 5000 lumens and this little host with minimal thermal mass needs aggressive thermal throttling to keep it from melting.
I like the design, but I think a different emitter would have been better (sst70, hint, hint)
Похоже ACEBEAM будет соревноваться с IMALENT в гонке просвета. Двойное безумие щелчка. Взрослый человек мог подойти к дизайнеру, сдуть со стола то, что он нюхал, взять карандаш и поправить.
Unintentional activation is a problem. 2 clicks for on might be a relatively simple solution that many could learn to live with. But I haven’t seen the rest of the UI. I don’t understand the advantage to all that fancy design on the handle. I will likely never buy anything cold white again. And I don’t believe there’s any evidence anywhere that strobe is going to disorientate an attacker. Please stop claiming such nonsense. Yes any bright light is going to slow someone down a tiny little bit. But your next move after hitting them with a bright light or a strobe better be really good.
