I have nothing against the Acebeams, although I don't own any. They always seemed a little pricey to me.
Something to note, long distance (as in throw) is normally achieved by a smaller LED. This is because they have a higher surface brightness and allow a tighter more concentrated focus in a given reflector size than larger LEDs. The trade off is, you get lower lumens, but more cd (Lux).
Also as a rule, the bigger the reflector the more throw you will get. So bigger lights with the same LED will usually throw better.
For me, I struggle to see better options than either the Nocitgon K1 if you want a larger reflector or as a very compact offering the KR1.

You could likely buy both lights for the price of the Acebeams.
Hank offers a choice of emitters with these lights, but it is the new Osram LEDs that offer the most throw. You get a choice of max throw with the W1 or slightly less throw with the W2, but slightly higher lumens and a slightly bigger hot spot.
The K1:
W1 (Osram CULNM1.TG): 900lm, Lux : 650Kcd (650,000cd)
W2 (Osram CULPM1.TG): 1500lm, Lux: 600Kcd (600,000cd)
Which is much higher Lux than the Acebeams mentioned above.
If you want high lumens and still pretty good throw, Hank also offers the SBT-90 LED in the K1 too. This offers a fat hot spot and really bright spill and pretty much monsters its way to get great beam distance too. Although you could argue it is less of a true "thrower" in terms of beam profile. But it would match the Acebeams for throw, but offer more lumens.
SBT90.2 LED, 5700K, 4500lm, Lux: 420Kcd (420,000cd)
I too have an Olight, I have the M3XS-UT Javelot. Running on 2 x 18500. The K1 has a similar sized head, but shorter overall. The Olight is rated at 250,000cd and 1200 lumens.
Arguably more impressive is the tiny little KR1. It is EDC pocket sized, but packs a huge punch!
I wonder i fHank is out of stock, as I don't see it on his site currently. But seems to be available here:
https://www.illumn.com/flashlights/...n-kr1-tail-e-switch-18650-pocket-thrower.html
W2 (Osram CSLPM1.TG) 1300 lumens 100,000cd
W1 (Osram CSLNM1.TG) 900 lumens 110,000cd
I have the W2 version. Obviously the KR1 offers less cd than your current Olight, bit it really is about half the size too. And in real world use is likely to offer very similar performance in a much smaller package.
This is my one:
I didn't know the L19 existed, heck my L18 is still on its way LOL
