Looks like the claim of the throw distance is legit. 
5000 lumens and 770 meters of throw, man that is really some HID performance you got there!
Reality is somewhere in between. Something like 1 -> 50 -> 800 ->1900 -> 3500 -> xxx (not tested with full cells yet, so far I have seen "only" 4300lm OTF/30s).
Seems to work also with protected, but you need high drain cells to get full output. And rest assured: There will be some outdoor beamshots in the review.
True that. :D
If it’s a 4 amp or greater draw then NCR18650BD is a bare minimum start. That’s going to sag the #$ out of lesser batteries. I’d look at Samsung INR18650-25R 2500mAh (Cyan) and other high drain cells in the 2500 mah range. I just ordered the light and look forward to possible mods.
how could be a K40m with a XHP70 instead of the MT-G2 compared to the K60?
K60 being 4 cells I believe its running 12v where as the K40m is 3 cells running 9v. Size wise I wish they would make it with the K40m head. As is the K60 list an outrageous throw, but I don’t ever recall looking for anything over 200 yards with a light. I want small over throw and 5k lumens is going to throw some even as a mule.
really looking forward to another the review!!!
Anyone know how much heat it creates in turbo(level 6)mode?More importantly to me, how long will it go in turbo mode before over heating?
I just took delivery of my K60,yes it’s bright.Using Panasonic NCR18650B cells it performed well,but I do have some high drain cells on there way,will be interested in comparing the cells.I would consider it more on the cool side,but certainly not in a bad way in my opinion.Compared to my TK61vn I just sold the K60 does produce quite a bit more light,will be better for my tastes for anything under 200 yards,but the TK61vn was quite a dowel of light that obviously will out throw the K60 quite easily.So far I am happy with my purchase,especially because I was fortunate enough to get in on the coupon code before they removed it
Couple of beamshot comparisons. Mouse over for K60 (in all pics)
K60 vs. K50 (100m)
K60 vs. K40M (100m) - note the color difference: K60 is cooler
K60 vs. X40 (100m) note the color difference: K60 is warmer
K60 vs. X60M (100m)
K60 vs. TN32 (280m)
A lot of lumens thrower!
That K60 kicks so much ass! Were you able to measure lumen output?
Nice shots _the_.
Dang… I should have pull the trigger when hkequipment was offering the coupon :_(
Best $138 I have ever spent on a new flashlight,great all round beam,good throw with lots of useful spill.Hopefully there will be more deals coming up soon.
that was a great price!
I am afraid that acebeam will not allow such deals in the near future… 
but for European people (who want to save a bit and avoid paying taxes) I might know a way 
the, your amazing pics sealed the deal for me and ordered one, thanks 
Hope it gets here soon, can’t wait to try it out.
Will the Panasonic NCR-PF be good enough for this light?
If it does in fact draw only 4A, PF’s are good to 10A from memory
That’s what I have been thinking…will a 25A cell offer better performance compared to a 10A PF, considering it only sucks in 4A?
No
