Update.
I have narrowed it down to the battery holder. I can get the head to turn on when I connect to a 24V source. Acebeam sent me a new Board and switch for the tail cap. Light still doesn't work. Has to be the battery holder.
Acebeam won't send me a replacement. They want me to send...
Hi. Wondering if anyone can help. I have replaced the PCB with switch in the tail cap and the light still won't come on. It only has about 2 hours of total run time.
I agree with you. I've used 2400mAh Jetbeam (maybe Panasonic) protected and it works fine. Mine where not completely charged the first time I tried so no difference in 1900 to 2600. Perfect after a charge though.
That was a direct quote from him though.
Chris from Acebeam told me this:
"there are no obvious difference by eye between 1900 and 2600lm if power by protected cells, but test by instrument, or use unprotected cells".
Sounds like unprotected are what he is suggesting.
Thanks ven. I love these lights. I have the Jetbeam DDR30 which is a really good light but I decided that the K60 would be a better light. It is bigger and heavier but it's brighter and better throw.
Just got the K60 today. This thing gets extremely hot really fast.
Here's a few pics of the Acebeam family.

Have you received yours yet?
Sorry I said I received the light before I saw the pictures but I was referring to the K70. Still haven't received the K60.
I didn't see the beam shots until after I got the light. But I have to say I am impressed with it over all. Pictures never seem to do justice. I think my expectations were maybe too high when it came to the actual distance.
All in all it is a great light.
I have the X60M, the K70, and the...
Well, after receiving the K70, I suddenly had an urge to get the K60. So I ordered one. Can't wait to receive it.
Now I have to sell my DDR30 so the wife don't be too upset. lol
