There is no link. The seller just happened to bring in 2 pieces of the SS bezel. I grabbed his only new unit of x50 and 1 piece of the SS bezel before he can put them up for sale.
New Acebeam product
The charging port and battery are proprietary.
This sucks Acebeam
Interesting light, a lot of mystery!
Not really anything in the description about the switch, and no photo of the tail end but I’m assuming it’s a mechanical tail switch because of this sentence:
“Using threads to conduct; positive and negative in same pole battery design with single barrel body to ensure that the integration of switching and signal function for the tail and to enforce reliability and durability”
(I guess they’re trying to say it’s not an “unreliable” e-switch setup with 2-piece tubes?)
<><><>
Also, this sentence is the closest thing I can find that describes anything about the UI:
“Ease of use, easy to turn on and off the light, to switch between various modes, and easy to hold another thing while using the light, etc.”
<><><>
And what’s going on with that pocket clip, what is the standoff/block underneath it?
The “One Touch Strobe Switch” Looks like it connects where the Proprietary charging cable connects, I’d like to see a photo of that installed, looks like it hangs off the side?
<><><>
I’m guessing the LED is an SFT40?:
“Up to 1,700 lumens, long-range beam up to 330 meters (using flat LED, most efficient and long-range beam in same size light)”
Yeah but they are not the only ones doing that, i guess they want protect their lights so ucant insert any random battery…

Yep, not interested in proprietary batteries. Besides that, they don’t list the UI anywhere that I can see. Is this another of Acebeam’s double-click to turn on lights? :confounded:
No, they want to make sure you buy batteries and/or new lights from them. Olight sells their replacement 18650 for $20 when you can typically find an 18650 for between $5-10 depending on performance. I don’t care if it supports their gimmick charging port. Compatibility with STANDARD batteries is a must.
I just took my x50 out for its madden voyage and I’m more than impressed! Massive power thats seems to run in the 6000lumen mode until the cells are dead. The battery pack is a negative in my book but in reality it’ll be years before the cells will be an issue and then it’ll be a fun project to unglue the screws and swap the 21700’s.
I normally do beam shots at 1/3s shutter speed with ISO 400. This works well for most high power flashlights (Astrolux FT03 as an example).
Unfortunately it looks like the Acebeam X50 is going to need different camera settings!
X50 turning night into day.
Thanks for your sharing ! A nice picture !! :+1:
Black Friday deal for X50….bought for $309 ($60 discount)
It won’t let me add it to my shopping cart. Any tips?
Only the 4000K version appears to now be able to order by placing in shopping cart. I tried this and it did.
Now their website sits this new version as 4500K – probably the same FC40 as they used in the E70, I'd bet. I'm on the fence between this and the XHP70.2 5000K version. I wonder how much nicer the color rendering will be with the new emitter, and how much less the light output will seem in real word use.
the 4500K version really interested me.
Anyone have specs and/or beam shot?
After compare difference between XHP 70.2 and GT-FC40 on the E70.
5000 lumens with GT-FC 40 on X50 almost makes me dream 
But Acebeam website does not even show specs for “4500 CRI” version.
After watching a few videos and reviews on this light, I would add it to my Acebeam collection today but its
having a propitiatory battery pack that will cost around $150 is a deal killer for me. I already have plenty
of high quality , high capacity li-on batts. The price of the light itself seems reasonable
compared to others with this level of performance but, the added expense
of $150 in order to have one spare battery is unacceptable.
I think Acebeam blew it on this one and I’ll pass.
Still waiting for mine. Hope it will ship soon!
