    Best way to contact Acebeam?

    I've sent a third email and I'll try the phone number. The torch was originally bought from and modded by Skylumen but when I contacted him, sadly he no longer has spare drivers for that torch hence trying to see if Acebeam have any.

    Best way to contact Acebeam?

Everything else works, I can make the led's light up by bypassing the driver and the internal charging works, it's just the driver board that's dead and I'm trying to source a replacement.

    Does anyone know where to get spares/repair for a Supbeam X40 light?

    Yes, mine is one that was modded by Vinh as well. I've been in touch with him and, sadly, he no longer has suitable drivers for these lights. I've emailed ace beam but not had a reply from them. I'll pop over to budget light forums and see if anyone there can help. Thanks for the suggestions.

    same battery code, different lengths?

    Thank you very much, I didn't know that you couldn't get official Panasonic protected cells. The first pair I bought, via a recommendation on here, appear to have the metal band going to the negative terminal, as you can see here. The Torchy batteries, a reputable seller here in the UK...

    cheap microusb nimh and li-ion battery charger question.

    Great, thanks very much, I'll get one. Just the thing when I'm away as I have a 6 port high power usb charger that all my tech gets plugged into, this means one less thing to pack in the bag.

    18650 Battery and Charger Recommendation

    Re: Need battery recommendation for a Supbeam X40 light (3x18650) With the built in charger, I only need to plug the light in, shouldn't ever need to take them out until they're dead, hopefully.
