Well, I swapped my Acebeam M10 XP-G3 (6500K) for a much warmer 2700K one and donāt see any tint shifting neither before or after.
I guess Acebeam designed the reflector specifically for this emitter.
That said, TIR are good for EDC (see Olight S series, all equipped with TIR) for close range use.
I received mine 2 days ago.
Ugly beam with the XP-G3, there is a clear tint shift around the hotspot with yellow corona :confounded:
That and the 6000K+ cold white made me swap it for a 4500K 4000K 219C⦠and here is my new EDC (I have a thing for AA lights those days)
Good to hear XXX man, do you have any pictures or beamshots?
how long did it take for shipping?
I have ordered one from Neal 2 weeks ago, should be on its way now, hopefully it will arrive soon!
While waiting for one of Nealās, Iāve done some experiences with those I have, with TIR lenses and a reflector!
Iāll leave the links here you wanna take a look!
Real nice and compact SS AA light with SS tail clicky. Nice NW tint but rather floody for what iāve quickly seen so far. Feels great in hand but a tad heavy to my taste (itās SS right).
One small issue iām having is the battery lose contact easily if i bump the lightā¦
I have received mine from Neal today and i experienced the same issue, so i took it apart, lubed all threads since they came clean without any lubrication and i have stretched the spring from the switch a littebit and assembled it again.
Now it works flawless and i really like it!
Made a small comparison against my Reylight Pineapple, both on AA and max level.
You can see that it is clearly brighter then the Reylight as the tint is about the same (4000K Nichia 219C)
It also gets a littlebit warmer though. Overall, iām very satisfied and happy with it!
