Seventy-two emitters. EGAD.Buy Vinh's Sirius light that he's working on (probably 7 lbs and well over 100k lumens. With 72 XHP35 LEDs.) Will probably put the acebeam to shame.
That said, $750 for a light is a bit out of my price range. The Acebeam sounds impressive for a production light though. I hope we see more lights with active cooling.
Does it come with an oven mitt?
I'm thinking more body armour.
Actually I'd like a bomb squad suit with a welding mask.
Your post made me think...with ~ the same price as qty=2 x7vn, and same number of cells, and less lumens, and a less flexible UI...which is more useful? I can imagine use cases for each, but I can't imagine that there will be a huge number of sales at that price.I would love to have Vinh54 mod of this light. I will wait for it to be ready. Until then, two X65vn and X45vn are my mainstays.
40k lumens with 13 emitters is a lot of light. More light than I expect to ever need in a nominally handheld package often enough to consider buying. Heck, my Emisar D4 at maximum output impresses everyone that sees it - can light up the side of my house like daylight from ~20 yards away.
Seventy-two emitters. EGAD.
There is surely someone that can make reasonable use of such a light. I'm just at a slight loss to see the use case. Illuminating an entire football field from the broadcast booth? Solid-state replacement for a helicopter spotlight? Pintle mount on the hunting lease truck? Area light working on buried water reservoirs?
At 8x 18650 - more capacity than a typical laptop - this is entering the realm where active cooling makes a degree of sense. There's the power margin and physical volume to do something actually effective.

Don't be bunch of little girls I've almost finished my new mod, the brightness Is equal to the flash from a nuke going off and so far run time of about 20 seconds In turbo mode(warning welding mask must be worn during use).
JEEZ people enough Is enough....I think flashlight brightness has passed the point being practical, unless you're goal Is to signal the next solar system.
