Well, however I only ran it for ANSI style lumen tests—no long runtime tests. I would worry that the media inside the tube might melt under 10+ minutes of operation. The light puts out SERIOUS heat.
After looking at the title, I think the numbers are even better since the 5000k is supposed to get less than the 80k lumens.
Exactly. I felt my finding supports one heck of a light. I have never had a light with this kind of output. I asked Imalent to send me a 5000K MS12 Mini. It will be interesting to see how they compare. My testing might not be super accurate with the lumen tube I have, but it should at least be sufficient to show which is brighter or has better regulation.
Thanks for sharing!

Have some guy compare the 70.2, vs the 70.3 Hi versions please?
The 70.3 version was just added. I can make predictions:
- it will be slightly less output (should be measurable on a lumen tube, but not very noticeable to the eye)
- It will be slightly throwier, because it has no domes
- it only comes in 6500K, which for me is a bit too cool. I really prefer 5000K and lower.
Thank you Cheule.
The 70.3 HI is spec’d at only 150m more range, so I’m not sure it’s worth it.
I measured the range of this 5000K version at 931m, so it falls 218m short of their 6500K spec. No idea what the 6500K will achieve.
I only manage to get an average of 220Kcd for a 6500K.
Thx. For the review.
I have the 70.3/67K Lumen version.
I certainly didn’t want to start a thread for this but this makes me wonder why they couldn’t communicate the proper way to program it.
This is in regards to programming ECO mode and POWER mode. I tried numerous times pressing it 10 times slow, fast and always firm presses,. No dice. I emailed Acebeam and they said for me to take a video of what I’m doing to see if I’m doing it incorrectly. I said how about if you send me a video how it’s supposed to be done? So they did. I watched the guy in the video doing it it took him 14 presses for power mode and 17 presses for eco mode! I thanked him for the video but let him know that I spent a half hour pressing 10 times and nothing really happening. Within an hour he took the video down! Maybe he’s going to put another one up? Better directions how to program. It was feeble to begin with. Never saying that the second blink is the mode you’ll be in. Never saying if if there are other prompts or not?
At least I know how it works now I just keep pressing until the light flashes! Again they tell you 10 and the guy demonstrating in the video and he pressed it 14 for Power and 17 times for ECO. They could have just simply said, press 10 times or more until the light comes on.
I wasn’t doing it incorrectly! I followed their directions which were wrong!
Finally I’ll say I just don’t like the fact that he took the video down , hasn’t replaced it and hasn’t responded.
Happy 4th of July 
to all the Americans. 49 years ago today I was in Valley Forge Park and saw President Ford…The Bicentennial . After that visit it became a national park.

Thread revived, rewatched the vid. I need an excuse to buy an x75.
