There have been lots of times where I looked at my flashlight collection, and purposely grabbed a D18 or my MK38 because I knew that’s what the situation called for.
A light like this is all about flood, of course, and once I was illuminating the end of our cul de sac so that we could continue playing with our RC cars. The light was on a tripod.
Another time I was at the play set in our local playground, and there was no lighting. Sun went down, I set the MK38 on the ground about 30’ away and my kids kept playing.
Last time I recall grabbing it specifically, was when we lost our indoor cat. I grabbed it and went searching through the neighborhood. Sometimes you just want a lot of light everywhere at once.
Thank you for your review Cheule, I found it most informative and interesting. I most certainly will read your coming reviews also!
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...
On a light like this, I don’t even think to measure it (because of course I have some SBT90.2 throwers like the GT90, K75 and MF05+ to name a few.) and my review was already very long.
Acebeam quotes the XHP70.2 as 1150m, and the XHP70.3 as 1300m (both in the 6500K version)
I can do some rough candela testing inside my garage if you’d like, but Zeroair has rated a lot of acebeam’s lights and their throw numbers are usually good.
As we wanted to demonstrate, the 80000 lumens are just a mirage, from the review we saw 64000 lumens for 1 second, immediately dropped after 30 seconds to 47000 lumens, considering the 5000k of the hue and adding an 8% more emission on the 6500k shade however we will not go never more than 69k which are the same numbers as Imalent MS18 mini with a range of 2000-3000 lumens. Again, marketing sensationalism triumphed ...
I read the comment from ACEBEAM X75 on TLF . The high efficiency of boost driver and Current 55A is possible to make X75 as a new successful high lumen monster.
Please don’t over estimate my lumen number accuracy. I use a home made texas_Ace lumen tube and it has not gone through any rigorous scientific calibration.
I think what is more important is the relative reading you can glean, like the fact that the Manker MK38 and X50 were both registering in the 30,000 to 34,000 range for seconds, while this light hit double that on the same equipment for longer.
Imalent is sending me a MS12 mini, and I will do a direct comparison against these two, which should be enlightening.
Well, however I only ran it for ANSI style lumen tests—no long runtime tests. I would worry that the media inside the tube might melt under 10+ minutes of operation. The light puts out SERIOUS heat.
Exactly. I felt my finding supports one heck of a light. I have never had a light with this kind of output. I asked Imalent to send me a 5000K MS12 Mini. It will be interesting to see how they compare. My testing might not be super accurate with the lumen tube I have, but it should at least be sufficient to show which is brighter or has better regulation.
