I just saw this today http://www.acebeam.com/x80 and my mind is kind of being blown. Is it a combination of new battery tech and even newer XHP50.2 emitters allowing a light to put out over 20k lumens even just for a minute?
Seems like just a few months ago that 9k lumen light from Olight was the new king of the block. What is going on to allow 4 - 18650 lights to make these insanely huge leaps and bounds in seemingly months. Would a light like this have been possible with say 12 XM-L2 emitters and 4 18650's, but nobody ever made the light? What other circuitry/electronic wizardry is going on here?
Needless to say... I wish I could have one lol. I'm giggling that the "low" is 800 lumens for 8.5 hours. This tech marriage between insane emitters and insanely talented electronic flashlight makers marches on.
