just received the light 2 hours ago. What a nice light. Specially after upgrading the bezel to a stainless steel one. Now the light is even more classy.
I might have to get one of these bad boys. I have a 14,000 lumen light that fits in my pocket and the 100,000 lumen MS18 that is massive, but nothing in between.
The 1lumen review said he was only getting 30,000. How is the output? I want something that’s incredible
Do you have a steel bezel? Where did you get?
What tint are you guys getting? I’m tempted to sacrifice 2,000 lumens to go with the 5000K
Hi, my x50 is now with the SS bezel installed. The local seller has couple of units of the SS bezel for x50
link please for to buy ss bezel
The battery pack is a deal breaker for me as well. A real shame because the X50 host is beautiful.
The only reason for a non removable battery is controlled obsolesce. In 5-7 years when the battery goes bad , the whole light goes in the garbage. They wont be making a battery for replacement and if they did id would cost more then the light to buy one.
Ya that drives me nuts too. Like why doesn’t my expensive electric toothbrush take a 14500 battery that I can swap out when traveling and toss in the trash after 500 charge cycles
There is no link. The seller just happened to bring in 2 pieces of the SS bezel. I grabbed his only new unit of x50 and 1 piece of the SS bezel before he can put them up for sale.
New Acebeam product
The charging port and battery are proprietary.
This sucks Acebeam
Interesting light, a lot of mystery!
Not really anything in the description about the switch, and no photo of the tail end but I’m assuming it’s a mechanical tail switch because of this sentence:
“Using threads to conduct; positive and negative in same pole battery design with single barrel body to ensure that the integration of switching and signal function for the tail and to enforce reliability and durability”
(I guess they’re trying to say it’s not an “unreliable” e-switch setup with 2-piece tubes?)
<><><>
Also, this sentence is the closest thing I can find that describes anything about the UI:
“Ease of use, easy to turn on and off the light, to switch between various modes, and easy to hold another thing while using the light, etc.”
<><><>
And what’s going on with that pocket clip, what is the standoff/block underneath it?
The “One Touch Strobe Switch” Looks like it connects where the Proprietary charging cable connects, I’d like to see a photo of that installed, looks like it hangs off the side?
<><><>
I’m guessing the LED is an SFT40?:
“Up to 1,700 lumens, long-range beam up to 330 meters (using flat LED, most efficient and long-range beam in same size light)”
Yeah but they are not the only ones doing that, i guess they want protect their lights so ucant insert any random battery…

Yep, not interested in proprietary batteries. Besides that, they don’t list the UI anywhere that I can see. Is this another of Acebeam’s double-click to turn on lights? :confounded:
No, they want to make sure you buy batteries and/or new lights from them. Olight sells their replacement 18650 for $20 when you can typically find an 18650 for between $5-10 depending on performance. I don’t care if it supports their gimmick charging port. Compatibility with STANDARD batteries is a must.
I just took my x50 out for its madden voyage and I’m more than impressed! Massive power thats seems to run in the 6000lumen mode until the cells are dead. The battery pack is a negative in my book but in reality it’ll be years before the cells will be an issue and then it’ll be a fun project to unglue the screws and swap the 21700’s.
I normally do beam shots at 1/3s shutter speed with ISO 400. This works well for most high power flashlights (Astrolux FT03 as an example).
Unfortunately it looks like the Acebeam X50 is going to need different camera settings!
