Here is a link to a video that looks to be from the same person. Wish I knew German because it looks like a really good video.

Wow... AWESOME! Thus we have the new stock throw monster.

Sweet!

Time for the Olight SR95S-UT to go on the marketplace.

Great time to be a flashaholic!

+1 to that

Not a great time to be a wallet!

Darn, and I was so very happy with my K40MVN, and now this....oh well, time for an upgrade.
Ain't Life Grand!
And, Happy Easter Triduum to everyone.

I wish they hadn't discontinued the K50v3 because in the K70 I really dislike the spill shape that is cast due to the deeply crenelated bezel. With the K50v3 it would have been smooth not jagged.

Hey guys.

I just received my K70 from Acebeam. I own many lights ranging from a cheap $15 light from China to Olights, Jetbeam, Acebeam, etc. I now own both the Acebeam K70 and the X60M (a ton of money spent on two lights). Both awesome though.

Just want to say that I am so impressed with the quality of the new K70. I haven't had a chance to test some good beam shots with the K70 yet but at first glance, I don't expect to see much light at 1300 meters. It is definitely a monster thrower but 1300 meters is a long way. I kind of wish it was around 3600 to 4000 lumen but oh well.

It's a lot of money to spend but I would recommend this light to everyone who enjoys flashlights as I do. You won't be disappointed.

Hopefully someone will chime in that has both. I have the M3XS-UT since last summer and it's my first and only thrower. The first thing I noticed was how green the tint is on it (not crazy about that but it does throw a laser-like beam so I'll just live with the not-so-great tint). Just curious what the K70 beam would look like up against it. Might have to save up for a K70 in the future.

I have the Olight M3XS-UT, K50 and K70 v3

Wonder what is written there. A sort of understanding any difference or similarity of our cultures. Sorry for off topic.

Out of these two batteries, LG INR18650-MJ1 - Sanyo NCR18650GA, which would be the best choice for the K70?
I know both are very similar, but have read the Sanyo's are a slightly shorter. Could that cause connection issue with the K70 battery carrier?

According to a review over at budgetlightforum, the latter performs slightly better at higher currents, while the former better at lower currents.

Acebeam told me, the K70 draws about 7A from the batteries so think the Sanyo's are the way to go.

7A? Are the cells in parallel and the light uses a boost circuit?

No idea. Just been told it draws 7A.

I love throwers and all but this one is just too big for me. Love that it uses the XHP35 HI thats cool but it draws 7 amps! This is the point where I would invest in an HID light instead. The battery situation for the light will cause lots of problems for the uneducated about batteries folks that buy this light. Even I dont know who makes a protected triple mosfet high drain 18650. I dont buy the run times listed as the needed high drain cells most likely wont be high capacity. Even the mighty GA would not do it for this light. Hmmmm.....

I know there's a review of the evva protected w/GA compared to the Keepower protected and remembered the evva was triple mosfet and Keepower was double mosfet when they cut it open.

 

[Hutchoven]

Shoot! I bought some nitecore 2a 2600mah batteries because I figured the single led wouldn't need high drain. Can anyone confirm the 7a? I'll have to order some of the GA I guess if its true.

 

[scs]

If it's not a boost driver, but a buck, and it still pulls 7A, that means 12V x 7A = 84 Watts is pumping out only 2,600 lumens; 84 watts greatly exceed what Cree specifies.

 

[ven]

Presume 7A at the LED, not sure on the carrier though.............with 4 cells i would have thought no need for a boost driver. But no idea of the carrier layout! Could be 2s2p with a boost, or maybe 3s1p..........no need then?

The NC cells are not a good choice either way imho, it will not sustain(if at all) turbo for long. 4 Samsung 30Q will see you right, for more mah the 10a 3500 cells(LG or Sanyo)
