[M4D deal] Nightwatch NI40 with Luminus SBT90 Gen2 interest list OPEN

ver_ivanz007 · 2019-12-21T04:31:02.000Z

I have 2 orders from Neal but since it was out of stock I asked if he can replace it with one Acebeam K30GT since I can’t wait anymore. He agreed and I received it in 3 days… Also uses the same LED, SBT90.2

What version Ft03 is that?

ver_ivanz007 · 2019-12-21T04:46:11.000Z

It was the xhp50 version.

California_Prepper · 2019-12-21T05:04:12.000Z

Ahh ok. The sbt90.2 version comes with the stainless steel bezel. I was wondering if you had one already.

ver_ivanz007 · 2019-12-21T05:10:33.000Z

I see. I just bought the Bezel from Banggood.

That is a nice light. It goes for $160 compared to $70 for NI40 SBT90.2

I hope he gave you a good discount for the time that you waited.

The K30-GT is a MUCH better light than the NI40 SBT90.2. While the NI40 has a great host design for heat shedding, the driver sucks with an agressive step down. Also driver efficiency is nowhere near as efficient as Acebeam driver. Though I don’t have the K30-GT, I have many other Acebeam lights and I can say their driver efficiency and regulation is much better than any of the budget brands making them more practical for use as tools.

Yes this is really a nice one and he gave me a discount. Since my order is 2 pcs of NI40 SBT90.2 and he shipped it express.

I agree. This one throws further and has more output compared to both FT03 SST40 and XHP50 that I have even with a smaller head. Step down is not agressive as the light will get so hot to touch within a few minutes of turbo. I might still get the NI40 SBT90.2 version if the stock issue has been sorted out.

The driver does suck! Like they say, you get what you pay for. In all fairness it is less than half the price of the K30-GT. Like I said a few days ago, it is on the shelf until it gets re worked.

-How long does it take before it steps down? I see you are in the Philippines so it may be faster than where I live, winter time now.

- Can you step right back to turbo or does it have to cool down?

-Can you use High drain FT cells in that carrier? VTC5A/VTC5D/P26A[Molicel]?

Thanks

Hi Baron, I tried timing it on my lumentube and it starts dropping output at the 1 minute mark. Yes I can go back to Turbo after it steps down but the head is too hot to touch.

As for the battery carrier, it seems a little short for Flat Tops like my LG HG2 and Sony VTC6. I have to stretch the springs a little bit to have good contact.

Rayoui · 2019-12-22T12:11:24.000Z

Samsung 30Q flat-tops did not fit in mine without stretching the springs. I ended up going with three 15A button-top protected 30Q. Probably better for this light since the cells are in series.

mortuus · 2019-12-22T16:08:56.000Z

why would u want use 18650 in this light? 21700 instead better.

DB_Custom · 2019-12-22T16:10:07.000Z

Pretty sure they went off on a tangent, talking about the Acebeam K30 GT… it takes 3 18650’s.

FlashKat · 2019-12-22T19:54:20.000Z

Is it possible they talk about the Acebeam K30-GT in another thread.

It’s the BLF way, ideas get spawned and the conversation runs amok! Lol

meh, still not shipped
