ReviewTheLight: Acebeam K40M (3000 Lumen MT-G2 + Control Ring)

[sbrom]

I got an e-mail from wallbuys that they are selling for $79, sounds like smokin deal http://wallbuys.com/instantkill/AceBeam_K40M__1_CREE_MT_G2_Q0_White_3000lm_Flashlight___Black-22492

Thanks for that info & link! I grabbed one at the $79 price, it was some "Instant Kill" sale, and now it says "sold out".

I'm really considering one of these, only if I can get a killer deal.

When I view it on Banggood, it says $84.99. But the page is sort of frozen for about 45 seconds, almost like something is loading. After that, it jumps up to $129.30.

Great review BigMac, any idea the battery voltage when the light starts low voltage flashing?

This light seems to be very much the same as Thrunite TN35. There are some similarities so close so I wonder if it's the same manufacturer? Anyway I like TN35 so much I consider to get another. And if it will not be available anymore maybe K40M still is.

I just ordered a K40M & the TN35 is available all over in the states. The M is driven harder with a different dedicated reflector. That said Thrunite quality on these lights is second to none as I've read.

Hi.
I think that there is a K40S one,that is more of a thrower.

Is there a review of it here please?

I have modded a TN31 to XHP50.2, but the driver seems to have some Output voltage safety feature and does not power up
The drivers are identical in size and control ring just power different LEDs TN31 was XML2

I need to change very likely only one voltage divider

So I would need a high res picture of this driver so I can read all resistor values
