Acebeam X45vn - ARK (25K Lumen)

[MAD777]

Re: Acebeam X45vn - Flood Search Light (Pre-Order)

I wanted to hold off shipping the SD orders as I want to confirm that the owners wants to keep their orders after seeing 70.2 numbers. I ordered a HUGE batch of .2 LEDs but they are not here yet. I am extremely impatient too as I have so many projects lined up for these LEDs.

This is just one example of Vinh going above & beyond for his customers! Making sure that there are no second thoughts. Insuring they get the best product for their needs, instead of rushing to fill orders & then on to the next. It's not only the best, high powered flashlights we are buying, but it's the personal service and relationships Vinh has with us!

P. S. Kool-aid will be served in the morning lounge at 10:00am.
That is all.

I agree. Vinh is a king of the flashlight. Always coming up with the new ideas. I am glad I found his site, else I will be struck with the bunch of cheap eBay lights and stock lights. Lol.

I mean at turn on but will drop fast

What ever happened to them thermal pads? I haven't heard you mentioning of these anymore as of late. Are there just not enough room in lights nowadays? Or they just don't help much...?

Here is a real noob question. What does the HD mean in the 70.2 HD 6500?

Here is a real noob question. What does the HD mean in the 70.2 HD 6500?

HD = more lumens, with light more spread out, flood.

HI = more throw, more intense hot spot, more distance.

Re: Acebeam X45vn - Flood Search Light (Pre-Order)

Hd= had dome
Hi= high intensity

I hope there are plenty of neutral tint ones! (pretty please)

Are there any issues with shaving the dome of an XHP 70.2? I know it's been discussed that the XHP 50.2 is not suitable for that but I can't remember if the same is true for the 70.2.

I use it on my circuit but I just don't mention it. It's kinda like led mounted on copper. It's mandatory where must.

I have not seen the led but I fear it's the same materials as xpl2 n xhp50.2

Re: Acebeam X45vn - Flood Search Light (Pre-Order)

Thanks for the quick reply, Vinh.... I feared the same. I'm pretty sure Cree figured that since 95% or more of their LEDs will never be shaved anyway... the new LEDs not being shaveable isn't much of a concern to them.

Re: Acebeam X45vn - Flood Search Light (Pre-Order)

I can't wait to see the specs and beam shot video of the .2's. Can't wait to add this to my collection!

OH yeah they absolutely give no crap if they are shaveable or not

I'm guessing these are all spoken for? I'd be interested in a 70.2 flooder if available still.

Re: Acebeam X45vn - Flood Search Light (Pre-Order)

I have a thrower coming in the mail, so I'm now in the market for a flooder. I'm going to wait until the XHP70.2 Neutral White numbers are posted to compare to the XHP70 SD.

2 spot left in batch 2 so you are good if you want one now.

I'd like to reserve one, and once the full specs and beam shots are out maybe finalize my choice. The specs on the XHP70 shaved dome are really impressive, but I'm leaning towards flooder. Should I place an order on your site, or just email you my information?

Re: Acebeam X45vn - Flood Search Light (Pre-Order)

I re-read Maukka's excellent review of the stock X45, with XHP70. Maukka supposes that if Acebeam had used the new XHP70.2 that it would run cooler and have more lumens. That's yet to be seen, but I have faith in Maukka.

Also, he pointed out the tint and color rendition left something to be desired, even though his sample was 5000K. Perhaps both shaved dome in the XHP70 and neutral white in the XHP70.2 may improve this.

I have to admit that there aren't too many lights that get me excited. There are MANY lights that peek my interest, but this is one that has my attention.

I typically purchase a couple of lights a year and this may pass the noboneshotdog test.

Don't get me wrong there have been some great releases by Vinh with the new "ideals" etc. I may not always chime in, but you can bet your butt that I have my lurking finger on the pulse of CPF and V54. The new . 2 LEDs and this light particularly, have given good reason to post.

If we can hardly contain ourselves, Vihn must be going bananas awaiting the .2 LEDs. Sounds like he is more excited than we are. And that's a good thing. In anticipation. :twothumbs
