I contacted Acebeam about the price, and they replied:
So a little better. I’m sure there will be some sale/discount. I’ll need to wait for reviews of course.
AceBeam K60 XHP70 already arrived.
Mine arrived earlier this week.
There is bright, and then there is insanely bright, 5000 lumens from a single emitter is insanely bright.
I don’t know if it really is 5000 lumens, but it definitely leaves my 3200 lumen X40 in the dust, and I doubt
I am getting full output on the K60. I am using NCR18650A cells, and a thumbnail suggests at full output these are being asked to put out close to 4 amps. I have a set of NCR18650BD’s on order, and I suspect they will make the K60 even more insanely bright than it already is.
No complaints about fit or finish. Usually top quality (in my experience, ymmv) for Supbeam/Acebeam.
What is the color temperature like? What about the throw? Is the 128k lux figure accurate (in your opinion)?
Some pics please?
~5K lumens

What coupon?
K60XHP70
I wish this came in the 4800k version of the XPH70, I’m worried about 6500k
GREAT DEAL!
I was worried about that too, but luckily the tint in my sample is pretty good. Definitely more neutral than cold.
Oh, and the throw.. Yes, it's there. ;)
I was about to say that this is the first light for a long time that makes me feel like grabbing my camera and starting to make a real review, but then I noticed I would be lying.. Because I happened to open the T25 box first. ;)
Ps. As you can see, I'm not participating the Acebeam boycott as I feel it's (at least partially) unwarranted. They made a mistake of using components with a bit too high variation, learned about it, and are now in process of replacing defective carriers. Yes, it took long time, but it's better to make sure it goes right than do a second mistake in a hurry.. [Also, how I reacted on the Acebeam carrier issue is that I: 1. Tested the carriers in all my Acebeam lights (there are many!) 2. Noticed that the voltage differences are far from alarming (especially when protected cells are being used), and 3. Continued to use the in-light charging]
Tell us more:-)
150kcd with non-fully-charged cells. (Like I would have the patience to fully charge the cells before testing.. :))
I am so tempted to get me one, Can you please tell me about the different brightness levels? on the original post there is an inconsistency between the pic and the description
In the pic the levels are
11 / 50 / 700 / 1700 / 4000 / 5000 Lumen
On the description it says
Output (select by magnetic ring): Level 1 : 0.9lm(1200hrs); Level 2 : 300lm(320hrs); Level 3 : 1000lm(35hrs); Level 4 : 2000lm(16hrs); Level 5 : 3400lm(6.9hrs) Level 6 : 5000lm(3.2hrs); Standby : 65uA Strobe : 5000lm;
Which one is the correct one?
Any pics of the driver? Is there any glue? Is it moddable? 
Thanks!
I ordered one of these on a moment of weakness,hope it wasn’t a bad move.Are protected cells OK with this light,or does it need unprotected,I do have a set of protected sells that I hope will be fine(Panasonic).Would love to see some outdoor beam shots. 0:)
all my flashlight purchases are made in a moment of weakness :~
I just ordered one as well. 150kcd and the magnetic ring- I can’t resist
(and 5k lumens)
Depends upon where the protection kicks in. My thumbnail puts the current draw at full output as about 4 amps per battery. That is close to the limit what a standard Li-Ion cell can provide.
My advice would be to either use IMR cells, or hybrids like the NCR18650BD that clearly can deliver the required amps for maximum output.
