    Acebeam New Product Announcement-X70 60000lm

    I have an X70 coming to me later this week. Where can I buy an extra fandle or battery pack/handle? Having spares that can double my time between charges if needed would be a nice option to have.

    Acebeam X45vn - ARK (25K Lumen)

    VTC5A flat tops fit snug and work great for me. So far the light has been flawless for me. We will see how it does for me when storms hit and I'm out all night looking for downed power lines. I could have used this light in January and February when I worked a couple 100 hour weeks looking for...

    Acebeam X45vn - ARK (25K Lumen)

    On a warm day I managed 2 minutes in Turbo before it got too hot to hold, and by 1:30 it was getting a bit uncomfortable. 30% was good for 10 minutes before I felt it was too hot. 20% was good for over 20 minutes and still not too hot at this that time. All of this was barehanded with Sony...

    Acebeam X45vn - ARK (25K Lumen)

    My eyes see the colors the same way. Outdoors great, white walls show slight lavender with a few subtle colors in the Corona. The hot spot is great. Since I use this light outdoors it's a non issues with the minor color issues indoor on a white wall. The light output hurts your eyes at the full...

    Acebeam X45vn - ARK (25K Lumen)

    I got my home from a mini trip and got my light. I charged up my VTC5A flat tops and did a quick little test of the light. First off the batteries fit nice and tight in the battery carrier. It certainly is a stunning amount of light on Turbo. It does get hot pretty quickly, as others have said...

    Any new pocket rockets

    The new Olight H2R has an XHP50 with 2300 lumens. It's a headlamp but also can be used as a handheld flooder. Vinh might be able to make it a monster of a headlamp.

    Acebeam X45vn - ARK (25K Lumen)

    How long before the light got too hot to hold in Turbo? Was there a noticeable drop in output after only a couple minutes? KG Tuning had his problems and posted a video showing how his sample dropped to about 16000 lumens after only a couple blasts on Turbo, and how it was too hot to hold after...

    Acebeam X45vn - ARK (25K Lumen)

    I look forward to this. 25000 lumens in a small package always makes serious heat an issue very quickly. But if it manages heat well at 50% (12000 lumens) or 30% (8000 lumens) then it becomes a very useable light at still great outputs. 8000 lumens is still immensely bright, or at least used to...

    Acebeam X45vn - ARK (25K Lumen)

    Any recommendations on the best place to get the VTC5A? I have the regular VTC5 and got them from Mountain Electronics. I'm not seeing VTC5A on their website. PM me if we aren't allowed to post up vendors on the forum for some reason.

    Acebeam X45vn - ARK (25K Lumen)

    I'm glad I bought VTC5 when I bought 3 sets of batteries for this light. Once I saw more than 20000 lumens for the specs I figured it would do best with a VTC5.

    Vinh, did you measure the stock X45? It is a dramatic difference in output and throw on your light. The pictures really show where what you get for the money spent on your upgrade. Trees that weren't even visible with the stock light are clearly visible and lit up with the X45vn. Amazing work.

    XHP50.2 XHP70.2 WOW

    Re: XHP50.2 WOW Now that the X45vn has been shown to have 25000 lumens and 150K lux, are there any guesses why it has so much more output compared to the TK75vnQ70.2? The TK75vnQ70.2 has 18000 lumens and 165K lux, which is amazing, but it is lagging 7000 lumens behind the X45vn. Same amount of...

    The performance, size and price mix are revolutionary with this light. Not a shock it's such a hot seller.

    Did you measure the latest spec with VTC5? Also, how much ch output do you think might be sacrificed going from VTC5 to the LG cells you like?

    Acebeam X45vn - ARK (25K Lumen)

    I'm guessing the carrier mods and VTC5 batteries made all of the difference with the jump from 21000 lumens to 25000 lumens. Very happy I bought three sets of button top VTC5's for this light knowing it has that output. 28000 lumens at turn on! 25000 lumens ANSI! 150K lux! Wow. Best $325 I've...
