What’s the point with a MT-G2 when a XML can achieve better runtimes at the same output? (compared to zebralight and armytek)
I concede that ZL and AT are good lights.
Also consider that lots of folks dont like the tint they end up with from the XML family, I know there are lots of choices but my point is if you like the tint of an MT-G2 then the one you get, will be what you want (basicly there is only one bin).
Also consider that the big difference is not seen on paper but in person. The ratio of emitter to reflector goes a long way on the flood-throw spectrum. Again if you want flood then it will be hard to be unhappy with a MT-G2 headlamp (the same is not true for non MT-G2 headlamps).
Yes is is not as efficient but again most headlamps are not run (WOT) to be as bright as possible because it simply is not typically needed or wanted.
So if you like non cool white tints, if you like more flood then throw, and if you dont actualy expect to use the Turbo (WOT) that much it will be hard to go wrong with an MT-G2 headlamp and that simplifies the research, which is one of the advantages to lots of folks.
At the end of the day, different strokes, for different folks or different horses for different courses.
Are you saying that the XM-L is more efficient than the MT-G2 in terms of brightness? Really?
Does this mean that an xml will produce more heat whilst outputting 1000lms than an mt-g2?
No what I’m saying is that runing both LEDs from a single 18650 the XML would be more efficent.
Ok now I see where you are coming from, and yes I think boost drivers are generally inefficient.
Just to be the devils advocate. If you run (both emitters, separately of course) from two 18650 2S I bet the MT-G2 is more efficient because you don’t need the buck driver.
I think we are back to, it depends on what you want.
Yes my point was that in this setup, a headlamp on a single 18650, it is more efficent to use a XML. But of course if you don’t care about the lower runtimes then it is no problem, I also love the MTG2 emitter, just not from a single battery where a buck driver is needed.
I have been very tempted to mod a spark sx5 to run an MT-G2.
I can just see the 4x18650 can set up as 2s2p
It should make the reflector very floody bumping it up from an XML2/XPL to the MT-G2 emitter.
It’s here guys
Really looking forward to some beamshots of this,and i wonder what “intelligent temperature controlled light output” means!
I doubt it. I’ve applied for the 2 last global testing campaigns and emailed them a handful of times and haven’t heard a peep. I guess I need to take a hint. Maybe they didn’t like my K40M video from last year?

Operation:
The H10 has 2 input devices; a 2-stage switch and a rotating ring on the head of the flashlight.
Half press（1 stage gently press） the switch for 2 seconds, the H10 is on, rotate the ring to invoke the 4 output modes;
Fully press（2 stage heavy press）and keep it pressed then active the max 2000lm, loosen then off, regardless the light is on/off or under which output modes;
Package Includes (with original packaging):
· ACEBeam Headlight
· Headband
· Spare O ring
· Operation Manual
· Warranty Card
Only one spelling error (I fixed it) here.
I like the turbo idea, its on as long as we hold the button down.
Well I am pretty sure it is the top runner for nubmer of views (but I have not checked in a while) and YES BELLA redeem yourself and send Mhalen his H10 to review (I think you have the address!!!) 
So it’s your fault! 
jk
I would assume it is the whole in-light charging fiasco that probably cost them thousands of dollars to fix. They’re probably a bit sore from all the emails and posts from unhappy campers.
Hey, I thought someone said that HKE got cut off too for selling below MAP? I guess not!
sometimes the tail wags the dog.
MFG’s hate it when the find they need the distributors. humm lets see do we really think that acebeam would cutout both BG and HKE?
They each have to be in the top 5 (if not 1 and 2) of all the distribution channels.
Definitely BG would be one of them. I got my K40M from BG for significant discount over what they currently list it at. At the time HKE had it for almost the same price, but since then I see they both list them at full retail. Someone has brought the MAP hammer down me thinks…
few days and i will get this hellish headlamp….
