called Acebeam themselves and spoke to some reps… they gave me nothing other than they are still testing…etc…

Of course they didn’t.

Manufactures are [typically] very secretive in regards to upcoming models, new technology, release dates, etc.,.

What made you think they would divulge that information to you?

Oh gee let me see like when I called Olight and they told me the release date; it’s in their best interests to divulge no secretes….

Now that’s funny!

Olight spent 3 years telling EVERYONE when the X9 would release… :person_facepalming:

I spent all my money on other brands. while olight is making x9r. Lol… not joking…

Once again, price is the reason I didn’t buy this light… another reason is built in battery pack…

uh so u wont be able to swap out the battery like x9r ? thats a big fail then.

Yes it can be swapped out, but it’s still a proprietary battery pack.

I believe that’s what NL was referring to.

We want to put Sony vtc5a unprotected… we can’t do that…

No they didn’t if you followed the progression they put hype into the market with no backing; nothing to show for it; except recently hmm 4 months ago… you started seeing the light show up at events… so much for secretive…

Never send any payments via Friends and Family. You have NO WAY of getting it back.

IMO the DX80 has a very poorly designed heatsink solution, they enclosed a finned aluminum heatsink inside the body, which makes no sense.

It is not “fully” enclosed as people might think from your statement. It is partially enclosed. There are many holes in the body to let air into and out of the light. This does seem to be effective as it is currently the light with the highest fully sustained output of about 7000 lumen.

Either it is still going to step down after a few minutes because it is producing the amount of power of an overclocked 8 core CPU consumes under a beefy actively cooled heavily finned heatsink, or it must be running the fan at like 5000RPM to maintain sufficient airflow to keep the LEDs cool, meaning it would be a noise monster.

It’s using 3 fans.

You probably could do that if you are adventurous. The same way people swap 18650 in tool battery packs. You take the battery pack out of the tube, slice the blue shrink wrap then disconnect all the spot welded connectors. Swap the batteries to the brand you want, them either spot weld or solder the packs back together. You can buy heatshrink tubing for 4 x 18650 online. Put it all back together and back into the black tube. It’s not a job for a beginner, but I’m sure it can be done.

Ps, Don’t let the factory know because it will void the warranty.
