Hi.
I suppose that you`ve already read this pair (1,2) of brilliant reviews
I hope that mine`ll add some useful info to them.
This review example was senе me by manufacturer
---------------------------------------------------
PACKAGE
Flashlight comes into thick cardboard box. Design is simple, but attractive.
Package includes:
EC50 with 26650 battery, lanyard, micro-usb cable, holster, manual and warranty card. There are also com small packs of silica gel.
Size of E50 is almost the same size as Olight R50, just 13x4cm, which means that for stated brightness and runtime it is quite compact. Of course, it it was longthrower it would be about +2-3cms longer. But once it is flooder, reflector is shorter and so is the whole length.
I`m sure a lot of us have Skilhunt, so there is another photo to evaluate size.
EC50 looks good. Solid, well built light.
Reflector is OP and tied to head be crown-shaped bezel. At the bottom locates XHP70. Glass is AR(you can see blue reflection on pic below)
Cooling ribs are deep and take about 1\3 part of flashlight length. Comparing to Acebeam , Olight R50 Seeker has almost no cooling ribs
On the opposite side we can see micro-usb charging port. Acebeam let user charge any battery, not just yours, unlike some (O)ther manufacturer do.There is also thick red o-ring at the tail.
Speaking about chargin, there is simplest indication – red and green.
Knurling is rhombic, medium size. As tail and head are slightly wider than middle of flashlight, grip is good.
Machinery is perfect, there is enough of lubrication.
There is a thik red o-ring at the tail.
EC50 has springs both at tail and head. Also there is a hole for lanyard at the
tail.
Button is made of metal and moves down just a little bit – that means that flashlight can be easily turned on. Luckily there is simplest lock-out mode which will be described in UI section below.
After 10 min in turbo I measured this. That is too much to hold EC50 barehand. But I must underline that I don`t think that anyone really turns turbo on for such a long time. Turbo is turbo, just quick glance here and there and then switch to less bright level. And also that temperature means that heat dissipation works well.
Battery supposed to be 5000mah, here is what I measured with Opus in refresh mode and with usb-tester.
1.85A was the maximum current that I measured. BTW, EC50 succesfully works with flat-top batteries.
EC50 has low voltage indicator, it blinks 3 times when voltage falls below 3.2v. Turbo is blocked here as well.
UI
Simple.
Quick press and light turns on in last used mode (except turbo).
Keeping button pressed will switch brightness in circle from low to high.
2 clicks will switch on turbo from any state.
3 clicks – strobe.
1 long press from OFF will start firefly mode.
LIVE EXAMPLES.
Here is what I measured at tail spring.
For reflector is OP, light is floody. I cannot see PWM shimmering in any mode.
As brightness is high, EC50 lights up a lot of space in turbo mode, even though it is not relly longthrower. In 50 meters distance everything is clear, and between 50-100 also is well lit area.
Stepdown is thermal regulated, there are a perfect visualization of this in other reviews here at CPF.
Comparing again EC50 to closest rival, R50 seeker, I can say that last one has better tint, but EC500 is brighter at turbo. Btw,what about tint – I got 6000K version. I assume 5000K will look better.
At the end of video there are some live examples + speeded up work from start in turbo till total discharge.
OVERALL.
Very bright light for it`s size flooder. Brightness modes are reasonably, with instant access to turbo and firefly.
Well build and capable to charge all 26650.
UI requires getting used to. Though I cannot call it uncormfortable. That is just not the sort of ui that I prefer.
The only real disadvantage i`ve encountered here is that small round at tha tail side is liiitle bit longer that is should be. So tail stand is not that firm. Just 0.5 mm less and it would be perfect.
