You can always stop down the lens or increase the shutter speed or lower ISO to reduce the clipping.

According to SelfBuilt, the AceBeam K60 put out 160,000 lux@1m, while AceBeam advertised 124,100 cd.
For the K70 AceBeam is claiming 422,000 cd, so this thing stands a GREAT chance of being a real winner/white laser beam.
In the image below (sorry, I don't know how to post an actual image into the thread, only a link... doh!), the upper half is the K60 central beam brightness at the gate vs. the lower half which is the K70 central beam brightness at the gate in OverClocker's EXCELLENT beamshots (thanks again dude!).
Bottom line it looks like we've got a real contender for an Olight SR95s UT replacement (as I prefer stock lights vs. vn's magic).

Having the k60 and now k70 which are of course different lights but look similar, would you say its worth owning both models ?
Is there anything that stands out with the k70 significantly( is throw a huge difference) over the k60 and do you have any preference over each of them. Maybe a go to light for a walk in the open etc
Thanks for any info/opinions in advance overclocker

The T20 with XPL HI performs below its advertised specs, so it's hard to say, unless Acebeam builds a trend of exceeding advertised specs.

Thanks for the beam shots. A lot of work and it's appreciated. :twothumbs
My preference is a floody throw such as the K60 but even the K60 suffers from heat issues. :mecry:
Thanks again.

Trouble is mr quack, anything pretty much over 4000lm suffers from heat at some point on max, really need a HUGE light to dissipate the heat to stand a chance for long run times.............then fuel becomes an issue...........keeping it running.
The k60 does a pretty good job with all things considered, the k70 should do quite a bit better at around 2000lm less...........Should be able to run at full tilt till the cells say NO MORE!

Thanks!
Being light greedy, I want a handheld searchlight without heat issues. :naughty::naughty:

It reads as if the Nitecore TM16GT is the current end of the road for me.

Well, crud, now my wallet is $189 lighter thanks to this new light...

I dont think too far out, this is off the top of my head now, the k60 was advertised at 5000lm, sure vinh measured around 4500/4600 OTF lumens. So in that respect no too far out if they use LED lumens. However the flip side, the x60m which was meant to be 10,000lm, sure it was around 6000-6500 OTF. Lot depends on losses through the reflectors /lens.......can be 15% to maybe 30% depending.........
Thats off the top of my head without searching!
I would say 2600lm is certainly believable !

Good luck there! I ordered an "in stock" K40M from HKEquipment only to have them refund my payment because it wasn't available. I ordered off Ebay & had it in 2 weeks.
I think overclocker made a video for us also..

I like awesome but I'm taking care of some medical issues: cataracts and dental.
Had the first cataract taken care of on Tuesday and when that's healed, the second one will be done. Good thing we have only two eyes because when I'm done, I won't be four-eyes anymore.
