*new* Acebeam K70: max. 2600 lumens, 1300 meters throw

[easilyled]

The new thrower king in a cardboard case? Its unfair treatment. It deserves more than that. I wouldn't mind i i had to pay more money for the aluminium case.

I can understand that, but since the light is very competitively priced for the quality, they have to reduce costs somewhere and most people would probably prefer that to be on the box and to pay less money. The main thing is that it protects the light during transport and it succeeds in that.

you've been fooled the "aluminum" cases were mostly cardboard/aluminum foil laminate with some very light aluminum framing. i'm glad they went away with those

I received a HS1010 luxmeter two days before,and I measured all my lights.I see numbers close to the manufacturers,except one light.The K70.
When I measured it yesterday,with partial charged batteries,I saw 428KCd,but when I measured it again with fully charged red GA batteries,I had been astonished.
I saw 25,600lux at 4.8m,which equals 589.824KCd:twothumbs:laughing:
Is it magic?It shines.

The K70...I measured it again with fully charged red GA batteries,I had been astonished...

You aren't kidding...the K70 is awesome!

Hi ven
Did you knot your own lanyards, or are they commercial? I also dont want to be scratching my anodizing.
Cheers
Mike.

This light should meter more then 420kcd. I have my K50vn V3 and the only thing vinh did was refocus the led better, add a copper heatsink and upgrade the battery carrier with wire jumpers on the contact springs. no current boost at all as he said its driven hard stock. H measured 535kcd and we know he measures throw lower then most so mines most likely around 600kcd or more so stock has to be more then 420kcd IMO

I measured it twice.Once with partial charged batteries,and then,with fully charged GAs.I had 430KCd on the first time,and ,sit down first please,590KCd on the second!!!(25600lux at 4.8m).
I was speechless.It is a little lighthouse!!

What have you used in the lanyard attachment for avoid scratching?

I took a piece of heatshrink,ie this.

It is like spaghetti .When you put in the metal hook,you heat it with a lighter and it shrinks and stuck with the metal.

Another question please.
I have put in the K70,4 GAs flat top.I see that the springs are not pressed enough,so should I put in, four button top 30Qs?

Why not?

I chose to make a wrist lanyard [out of 550 cord] and use a simple loop for the attachment. It's easy on and off with no scratching.

Awesome light, one that offers the full package, reach and spill beautifully thrown out of the business end

I am happy for this cardboard case,because looking poor made item, I have not paid a penny for Taxes.If it was in a alu case,I am sure I would had payed much.

 

[Theodore41]

canceled,sorry.Was double post.

 

[Theodore41]

Yesterday,I measured the intensity of my K70 with two sets of batteries,GAs and 30Qs.
Conclusion.
24500lux with the 30Qs.
26500lux with the GAs.
Converting these to Cd,as the distance was the same 4.8m for both measures,we have, 564480Cd for the 30Qs,and 610560Cd for the GAs.
So,the GAs,are better for this light at least.
Impressed as you understand.

I'm wondering why none of the big, reputable vendors, such as GG or BJ are stocking this light. I'm very reluctant to buy from some of the questionable sources I see online or going China direct with Acebeam. I'm considering the K70vn, even though it isn't that much above the stock specs because I've dealt with him before and don't want to go through the hassle of dealing with dubious merchants. Any thoughts on this?

You can go wrong with ordering from Vinh. The light will be better than stock. Even if power boost isn't much, you still get more heatsinking and other benefits.
