After publicising these two flashlights using white lasers rather than leds, they seem to have been withdrawn before ever becoming available.

They were exciting because they had exceptional throw for their size.

I'm speculating that it may be due to international restrictions on the use of high-powered lasers, even though in these flashlights they were converted into white light. I am guessing that they could have been easily modded back into lasers with power that is illegal.

Anyone know anything concrete?

The laser model still under preparing, and no price and lead time expected, but I will inform you once release.

Thanks your attention to acebeam flashlights.
