I am new to this forum and I trust i can get some help from you more knowledgeable and experienced people on his forum. I purchased a Acebeam K70 torch last year and haveused it twice now on my Kruger trips.I am not so happy with the light it givesthe reason is when you stand behind the torch there is a lot of bright white lightwhich seems to create a mist like effect almost like shinning a torch intomisty conditions (the actual conditions are absolutely perfect very still an clear viewing conditions). Your point of view isnot clear when standing behind the torch form the side it is better, I noticed a few other torches that seem to have a more yellow like beam that made the object you aretrying to view much clearer than through my torch. The feedback I have had from the supplier is listed below.
I confess I haven't heard of thisproblem before - I wonder if the relatively cool white light of the K70 isreflecting off dust and moisture in the air more than warmer light from othertorches? I know that cool white headlamps on cars are prone to thisproblem, especially in misty conditions.
Unfortunately it's not possible tochange the tint of the LED, but maybe the answer is to get some straw-colouredplastic (acetate) from a photographic supply store or craft shop and stick itover the lens of the torch? If this works, an optometrist could probablyarrange for the lens of your torch to be tinted a very pale brown for a morepermanent solution.
It occurs to me that your viewpoint(behind the torch) may be part of the problem - if you get someone else to holdyour torch, and you stand a couple of metres to the side, is the effect stillas pronounced? If the beam is clearer when you are not behind the torch, thatcould explain why other people's torches look clearer than your own.
Your comments and help will beappreciated.
