At 11,0000lm which is the highest sustained mode it only hits 40kcd which is equivalent to the sustained throw of a pocketable flashlight.
I’m not asking them to limit the output, but to use a more adequate emitter setup for a “searchlight”. You’re carrying all that weight for it to provide only 15% of the output and throw 90% of the time, it’s not designed for real world use but for the wow factor.
Watch more of what our friends Zhudabo gives his review the X75 Brightest Power Bank Flashlight. If you are looking for a quick rundown on features that are important to you, check out his video.
Pretty much every high power light that’s not Haikelite, Lumintop, Nightwatch, Wurkkos/Sofirn, Convoy, etc. use built in batteries. It’s safer for the user since they have a BMS and all the safety bits and benefits a pro user who doesn’t want to fuss with removable batteries, chargers, etc. They want a plug-in-and-go flashlight. Plus it improves IP and reliability. It also means your real-world output specs will be (somewhat) close to factory. I’ve reviewed enough of those type of lights to see the benefits and drawbacks of integrated batteries. If you can afford to buy a $400+ flashlight replacing the battery, even at $150, still makes sense and is somewhat affordable compared to replacing the whole flashlight. These batteries lasts a long time and are warrantied.
This is great flashlight, too bad when during promotion few days ago, BLF10 coupon was disabled.
I don’t care about the waterproof. I prefer the convenience of charging of the battery pack.
It is just toy flashlight to many people, water resistant is already good enough.
@Sirstinky, funny thing is that these lights could easily integrate a BMS if they wanted to, and would even prevent reverse polarity insertion, which can cause a lot of problems.
Yes, and most of the proprietary batteries have a BMS or reverse polarity protection as th very least. Like I said, it’s to make the light safe for those without li-ion battery safety knowledge. The Wuben A1, Fenix LR80R, etc.
Probably because they didn't want it to stack with the public promotion. It's better if they just made the coupon applicable to non-sale items only. That way, they don't have to disable it.
Only the step down are different. All power levels of all the different modes(power, eco, windy, non-windy) remain the same so that the specification of lumens and intensity are the same.
Yes, it would be very nice to see a "thrower" version of the Acebeam X75, then equipped with a different type of Led's. In the same way as e.g., Acebeam X65 min or Acebeam K30 GT.
As usual, as soon as a company has put in the effort and comes out with a new product, the customers want more. It is thankless to work with product development...
