I guess it will be a 14500 nichia, maybe 5000k and 90cri about 650lm and shine about 96m, an included battery with usb c charging, but that’s only a guess! :stuck_out_tongue: :student:

I don’t really need anything but I do hope for a 90+ CRI XHP70.3 on an upgraded X70! :face_with_monocle:

Personally speaking, that clip is an abomination. Makes the light appear twice as thick, and wholly uncomfortable. Uh-uh.

ACEBEAM, which is the user interface? :innocent:

Yeah, I didn’t want to be the first one to say it. :innocent:

I always hated those 2-way or “cobra” clips. Too bulky.

This one’s, like, huge. :confounded:

So is the “fidget action” how it turns on/off or is the raised part on the end the power button? Looks promising except for the horrendous clip.

On their website they show how the outer sleeve moves. It appears to be a way to lock it out so that the button can’t be depressed while it’s in your pocket. The standoff clip is how you move the inner body while gripping the outer sleeve with some little detent balls holding the sleeve open or closed where the button is fully exposed or fully hidden. Edit that description may not do it justice. So locked it looks like it’s going to be 100 mm. And it looks like it may be slightly difficult to do with one hand. You certainly don’t want to get a lot of sand in there. 5000k is a no-go for me.

Clips are a bit ‘love or hate’ some use them, some remove them at the first oppertunity. If you use clips, this one looks very functional and strong to me, it’s not going to pop off and you can use it in a variety of ways.
What’s important for those who don’t like them is easy removal, and minute impact on the look of it after removal - I don’t like huge gaps where the clip ‘was’ ruining the look. Rovyvon s3 would be a prime example of that, and one I would have bought if not for the huge gap it would leave without a clip.
This light doesn’t have that huge gap which is a plus, and I do like the look of the light overall.
Maybe if it is screwed on (the clip) supply a couple of extra shorter screws to fill the holes after the clip is removed.

Oh boy, this is so “fidgety” :partying_face: :innocent: :heart_eyes:

Nice looking light.

Great clip! Looks like it can be used with jeans, and on the brim of a hat.

I dislike snap on clips, and generally won’t buy a small light that doesn’t have a clip.

Also looks like it comes off for coin pocket carry.

I’m going to wait and see what other metals will be available.

Dear Acebeam,
You commonly add optional LEDs sometime after the initial launch of a product. It appears you almost always start with the higher color temperatures and then later offer the lower warmer temperatures with a higher CRI. I believe this skews your perception of what people want. I could be wrong. Let us know if you offer this in the future with 4000k and high CRI. Thank You

Regarding the clip, I am very surprised to see the negative comments. There are thousands of posts on BLF where people talk about deep carry clips and adding clips to lights that don’t have one. Members drill holes in their lights to add clips. Now Ace Beam design a new light with a cool (albeit large) clip and everyone hates it. For a while it seemed like the deep carry clip was the best invention since sliced bread.

The Sofirn SP35 has a largish deep carry clip and everyone seems to love that one.

I think we are sending mixed messages to manufacturers.

Of course this is my opinion and your opinion, which you are 100% entitled to have, does not have to match mine. Matter of fact, when people have different opinions, the world is more interesting.

The only emitter offered is 90 CRI. How much higher would you like it to be?

I hate clips in general unless a) it’s done perfectly, and b) it’s a light on which I actually want a clip. Most lights, I immediately remove the clip and toss it into The Clip Box (ie, junkbox).

To me, anything bigger’n an AAA light would be too heavy to wear on a ballcap where you’d want a reversible clip. And I’ve seen reversible clips on 18650 lights! Wtf?? Who’d wear a monster like that on a ballcap?

You want to see a good deep-carry clip? Try the 2buk one on the S2+ that you can order from FT (and I think Simon now sells a similar clip). Simple, good dimensions, works. Stays close to the light’s body so it doesn’t dig into your hand when holding the light.

Same with the DC clip on the MH20. Lets the light ride low in the pocket, stays out of the way, and doesn’t dig into your hand when using the light.

If a light has a clip where a third of the light still sticks out of your pocket, it’s not even worth keeping it on the light, unless you don’t mind losing it.

And if a reversible clip isn’t warranted, eg, a light that’s too big for one, there shouldn’t be a reversible clip.

And if a reversible clip makes the light look twice its actual size/bulk, mmmm, maybe there shouldn’t be a reversible clip there, either.

A lot of times, it’s like throwing strobes and other ridiculous blinkies on a light. They’re not needed nor wanted, but “Hey, it might be useful to someone, so let’s throw it in there anyway.”, when all the while it just gets in the way.

The light in question looks nice, but the clip? Yeah, no.
