Acebeam, your website says the cell included is an 16340 550mAh cell, while the descriptions mention and 18350 cell. Shouldn’t the included cell be an 18350 instead of 16340 battery?

Also, what is the User Interface of the headlamp?

@ Ozythemandias
I suspect it is screwed in like their TK16 / 17 / 18 models!

2000lms on a 16340 cell! The run times would be horrible :confounded:

Yup, prettt much that! Just a burst before dying
I guess it is a mistake or a “discordance” inside the product page. However, for a customer it must be clear what the package brings!

What is the LVP set at?

I wonder why Acebeam can’t answer a simple question here in this post nor in a PM of , what is the LVP set at?

Thanks for correcting the information in your website :+1:

I hope so, would be the perfect lightweight headlamp for me to convert to mule for up close stuff

What is the LVP set at? Is it 3.7V like the H30?

I’m curious where you get 3.7V from? Do you mean to say 2.7V and are asking if it could run on lithium primaries maybe? These days hardly anyone questions LVP from most big brands.

yeah I don’t think it’s necessarily a simple question/answer. The battery likely has lvp. The light may step down at various voltages depending on a few factors.

I wonder if this will replace my H1 Nova, which I use daily. I’m sure ide get better runtime with the 18350 as opposed to the 16340 that the Nova uses.

There is a couple videos of the H30 and othere Acebeam lights blinking three times when they hit 3.7V then shutting down and with different cells as well. Look up three blinks of death.

Acebeam Three Blinks of Death (video)

I thought I’d make a video to illustrate this very annoying “feature” of Acebeam flashlights. As the battery gets barely below 3.7 volts, and sometimes at higher voltages, the flashlights start to lose their ability to access every mode, as well as ruining the experience of using the lower modes by blinking. Sorry about the out-of-focus video and shaky camera handling. I don’t make videos regularly. [Acebeam Three Blinks of Death - Low Battery Indicator or Design Flaw?]

I looked at the post. Lexel’s answer is the right one. A mediocre battery will sag on these high power lights.

Someone needs to measure with power supply.

In general the better the battery the less early LVP issues any light will have.

It did it with a Samsung 40T as well at 3.5V. It seems a bit premature don’t you think? Some people are having the same problem with the older H10. So is it some sort of driver issue? I personally love Acebeam’s build quality, fit to finish and own a couple of there flashlights. I want to purchase the H30 but not if people are having issues with them. 130.00 is expensive for a headlamp. I run the 30T 40T and Molicel P42a in all my 21700 flashlights. I agree with you that someone with a power supply should test this. :+1:

Variables/settings/designs of proprietary drivers aren’t likely something a lot of companies are willing to share, and/or their marketing teams might not have quick and easy access to that info. It might seem like a simple datapoint but you’d be surprised about just how much manufacturers in just about any industry want to stay tight-lipped about.

^ best to wait for a good runtime test on a medium mode and see if anything is out of place. Seems like half the time i’m an early adopter of any brand I get burned anyways.

Nice headlamp, definitly something for the collection

[idahofarmer]

Im I the only one that HATES usb micro, they break, they bend, they only go in ONE way. WHY? I thought we were using magnets or usb-c now. Why go backwards?

Samsung LH351D 6500K high CRI >90
That must be a mistake… 6500K LH351D doesn’t excist in high CRI (only 70+ and 80), 6000K does excist in 90
