I received my X70 this week so I took it out on my nightly walk and it is a lot more practical than I thought it would be. I mostly ran this light in Power mode using primarily medium and high which put out a nice even spread of light without any heat issues. I of course blasted high whenever I got a chance but it really is a ridiculous amount of light that’s too much for most situations. Although the fan is a nice accessory I chose not too use it and I didn’t have any heat issues, even with longer turbo run times. It was barely 30f last night so that was certainly an advantage for the flashlight. After playing for over an hour I still had a green battery indicator, so plenty of juice left in the tank so this flashlight is super practical for a lumen addict.

Here’s a 60,000 lumen shot:

Glad you like it, even Low is bright just for walks, 3k lumens.

Is that the center light giving that little extra in the middle?

Yep, the center xhp35 does a nice job of rounding out the beam profile.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR ALL X70 OWNERS

Hopefully X70 owners read this and take the necessary precautions to prevent damaging their new X70's.

Recent Finding: Thrower LED when powered alone can not handle the high current and may literally smoke. When all LEDs are ON everything seem OK. Strongly recommend to always run light with all LEDs ON. At least this applies for Turbo. This applies to ALL lights modded or not.

Figures, mixing different emitters in these mega multi emitter, mega amp pulling lights, not too smart….you’ll always find the weakest link, poor little XHP35HI…. :cry: POOF!

I run my X70 on ultra low and I feel it is plenty of light for walking. I love the xhp35 in the middle because it allows me to know exactly where i am pointing the light. This flashlight still makes me giggle.

Is this why the UV light regularly fails on the Acebeam X80?

I think Kawiboy is over simplifying. Acebeam may simply be driving the xhp35-HI too hard.

Acebeam SHOULD have designed the driver as two different circuits. If they are all combined on one driver board there may be unintended interactions.

It’s way too complicated to just generalize. You have to troubleshoot every little part to find the actual problem.

Maybe they were pushing the 35, maybe the buck/current spiked the little 35, maybe it’s own driver would of worked, maybe not?

Maybe the 12 heat generating monsters that surround this tiny little emitter in the middle weakened and cooked the little 35 and it went poof? Maybe not?

But I’m sure the EE’s and Designer’s with degrees at Acebeam will come up with a solution or band-aid… maybe…maybe not…

Could a would a should a just put the 13th 70 in the middle…KISStupid…

These look 4000K.

Now it makes it even better compared to 6500K CW.

KawiBoy1428 · 2018-12-06T00:29:40.000Z

Looks Warm and Toasty…Wonder if TK can do a Fireplace mode?

And the XHP35HI can flare up and make the crackling popping sound as it’s being murdered…

I wanna ask owners here, does anyone have trouble with the power switch feeling sticky when using? Button does not seem to be at all crisp and almost extremely slow to rebound when using? Got an X70 and came out of the box with the button stuck down, i kept pressing until it worked free however it is never felt anything but sticky/mushy if that is a possible way to describe this lol. Want to see if others have this or not? Thanks big time

I own several Acebeams including the x70 and the switches feel just slightly slower to rebound than a tail clicky. I’ve never felt the mushiness that your talking about but it does seem like you got a funcky switch from day one.

Thanks big time, that was my opinion also that something is off. My X80-GT and X45 all have a very smooth switch with no stick at all this one is just like a mush/sticky feeling. It is making turbo slightly a bother to get into at times, I just wanted to know if others are having this issue.

my switch does not stick. it feels very quality

Thanks also for confirmation on this, out of the box with it being stuck I dunno I had hoped it would just free up and work I am not sure what the issue is. I guess it going to go back and get replaced.

JasonWW · 2018-12-06T03:00:21.000Z

I don’t know what the button design is, but would a little oil help the metal button cover move better?

Or is the lack of rebound solely due to the e-switch under the metal button cover?

That i am not sure of good buddy, I was scared of using any oil that could work its way inside the switch and short it out. I do feel that it was lack of rebound due to something wrong with the e-switch. I ended up getting a replacement and the button on this one feels quite a bit better, and turbo is very easy to engage now.
