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.
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)”
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.
