Ooohh, I've bee noticing this light and how nice the size/ proportion to output is. The numbers seem to indicate it throws decent for such a small light with a big emitter.

Its a great light. Just a few more torture tests. Wet ones this time LOL

 

[Skylumen]

The entire light is great!
The glass is super thick!
Freaking 6mm thick!
LED on large copper driven hard!
Orings and threads are all great for the intended porpose.
Water proof magnetic button design
Everything is right then they screwed up the magnetic driver!
Tap this light hard and the magnetic system goes out of place and the modes goes whack! I can cure this with epoxy filled but I shouldn't have to!

More updates to come

Driver vnx

Has a waterproof design magnetic switch. DriverVNX2 will not work. However its a great light! Just need a few tweaking to make perfect.

 

[anethema]

Wouldn't VNX3 work if electronic switch? Depending on price I'm pretty much guaranteed in on this one. If I can afford when they come out I'll take the first one.

Price I am not sure yet. I am asking now.

Acebeam really stepped up their game on quality. Most of their lights are close to Fenix grade now.

This light, K60vn and their new EC35 are examples

Actually I am going to do a quick review on their models

I'm interested too depending on price & size.
I love the idea of a waterproof/bombproof light.

Man this light is too expensive... :-(

 

[Underdriven]

Compare it to other dive lights before you say it it expensive. Good dive lights are not cheap

I had clocked this light off acebeams site and looked interesting, now it simply looks amazing and can see the $$$ in it. Looks like a tank...............ok tougher than a tank and would last a life time and some. Really like it a lot, proper tough work horses cant be beaten, something you might depend on. Loving the case/presentation, really nice touch and would imagine a good light for security uses........heck you could throw it at someone ...........if you had the strength :laughing:

I reckon the NW shaved dome would be amazing too, how thick are the walls on this beast vinh?

The head is thick but the body is just average.

I don't dive so I got no clue how it really looks under water LOL

Maybe take your torture tests to new depths

At last - a perfect kayak/boat light - at least so it appears.
I expect that I'll be on for one of these after Christmas.

I am going to take this to the marina today to test. I am going to tie a rope and drop it as far as I can and see if it will last for say 20 minutes while being ON. This will be fun!
