Acebeam H16 Gray Headlamp Review

Acebeam kindly sent a H16 Gray headlamp for review. It also comes in a Black version with Nichia 519A.

Here is my review:

May I ask what LED emitter is used by the H16 gray (1000 lumens cool-white)?

I looked at pictures in your review, but the picture of the LED is a bit small, so I’m unable to decipher what LED it might be, although I’m guessing it could be an Osram Pusra/P9 (used by several Wuben flashlights), or it may look like a Cree XPL-HD (but this LED doesn’t seem to be used much these days).

What do you think is the LED used? (since Acebeam official specs doesn’t appear to mention that)

It looks like a Lumileds Luxeon HL2X with two diagonal cuts on two corners but it not exactly the same as product photos by Lumileds.

CCT was lower than advertised.

I don’t know which LED it is. Here’s a closer photo:

Lumileds HL2X phosphor looks like a square instead of a circle.

On my H16 (1000lm) this is installed:
