Just to clarify, 1Lumen showed in their testing that the X75 sustains its output longer than the MS18 here: 1lumen.com/review/acebeam-x75/#performance The MS18 is still brighter, and it does sustain ~23K for about 10 minutes, but then drops. The X75 holds ~20K for 25 minutes. As pointed out by @FEMA Region 9, Eco Mode does produce the same output at max, but for a shorter amount of time, which extends overall runtimes. The Aux button is used for momentary turbo as well.
I just got mine a week ago. The difference between Eco and Power mode is is the light will run on higher outputs for longer periods of time before ramping down brightness in power mode. You get the same brightness in Eco mode, just for a shorter period of time.... but if you look at the manual it really extends the overall run time in Eco mode. I was cutting and stacking wood in my backyard for 2 hours and had the light sitting on my grill pointed at the area I was working in for 2 hours on the lowest setting, which is 900 lm and it lit up the entire area. By the way, I bought the Emisar D4V2 and 3 others from Hank Wang after finding your channel, thanks for all the in depth reviews!!
Thanks for the info! That's really good to know, I didn't have time to do runtime tests for Eco+Power mode, I just assumed they would be the same since output was identical. Glad you like the reviews!
@@kishascape not really, this light will outperform basically anything out there in maximum sustained brightness. 80k lumens lasts longer than I've ever needed when electric longboarding.
there’s a sale and i got it for $299 which is a steal, also i think the aux button can be used to quickly toggle on and off turbo. great video, this video is why i bought it xD
Not sure if anyone already mentioned it, but the aux button also allows for momentary turbo while the light is turned on. Guess this could be useful if you want a quick turbo burst and don't want to double click.
Definitely something we need to see more of! Hopefully Acebeam starts iterating with this design to put it into some smaller lights... or maybe something even larger
@@LuxWad I asked Acebeam if they'd use that cooling design in smaller models, and their response was that standard heatsinking is enough for them. I'd love to see higher sustainable output on smaller models. I was told by my contact that they're designing an X75 based thrower
The aux button also turns the fan off if it's still running after the light is off, this is good if you need to place it down in a field and don't want anything poking up into the blades.
Now that I un-dumbed myself to the advantages in power delivery of USB-C (sorry for being a bludger about it in a previous video, Lux), I can't get enough of seeing it in big lights. Yes, I like to charge my li-ions slow if possible, but type C gives us the option to quick charge, and options are always great. Especially in a floodlight like this where, for example, you may only have about an hour or 2 in the ranger station between SAR operations. The X75 has something the MS12 really lacks: _value._ It's worth paying the high price of it no matter if you're buying it as a toy or a serious tool. And if an FC40 variant comes... boy howdy.
fast-charging is definitely a great feature for this light. I had heard that they may even introduce a larger battery pack with double the capacity, in which case it will be extremely convenient to charge it quickly. Definitely an awesome value! I normally wouldn't spend that kind of money on a flashlight, but Acebeam has totally justified this one.
Fantastic review, as always 😊 I wonder why upon activation the turbo doesn't hit max output right away, that's unusual. My hypothesis is, that initally the heat dissipation is good enough to run the leds at their absolute maximum for long enough that the cells get a bit warmer, and thus their output capability rises slightly? I vaguely remember reading somewhere that li ion cells can output the most power when they're a bit over room temperature, like 25-35C, but I can't find the source for that
I hadn't thought of testing that, that would definitely make sense. The heat takes a few seconds to build up in the head, so like you said there's plenty of time for the batteries to heat up to the optimal temperature before the output has to start dropping. In use, it's kind of nice as it sort of eases into max output instead of just blinding you immediately :P
I do think the handle is very sturdy, I wouldn't worry about it breaking. There's probably no need to upgrade, but personally I probably would sell the DX80 and use that money for an X75
@@LuxWad I've researched a bit and it seems to be even floodier than the TS21 with worse color rendition. so meh... But a version with Cree XPH70.3 (HI) looks promising
Imalent is junk. Had my hands on several of their lights now and their product descriptions are often wrong, terrible PCB quality, false water resistance claims, extremely slow to respond and unfair customer support solutions. I won't touch another imalent branded light.
Hmm I keep hearing “stadium light” and “my testing rig isn’t blah blah” “muh sustained”. I guess AceBeam be sending talking points along with the light as well.

Just bright enough for long boarding. Love this light
Long as you can make down the hill in the 30 seconds before it turns down.

This thing is so worth $399. Epic
If this thing was made in the USA it would probably cost $2000

$300 is a fantastic value for this light, hope you enjoy!
So happy to watch another one of your videos
Just ordered one on the BF special in 5K.....looking forward to getting it. Your vids are top shelf !
Just wanted to drop a note letting you know these videos and reviews are the best! Keep it up! Also just bought this bad boy
Awesome review! Didnt know it was best in the 20k runtime class! Really like that orange background you used as well.
Thanks! The orange background was kind of a nightmare to color grade, it was really hard to make it look consistent between shots
Not sure if anyone already mentioned it, but the aux button also allows for momentary turbo while the light is turned on. Guess this could be useful if you want a quick turbo burst and don't want to double click.
great review! would love to have this light one day, it’s so well put together
It's worth saving up for ;)
i wish this cooling technology was more widespread. half the weight/sustained lumens/price would be pretty good
Definitely something we need to see more of! Hopefully Acebeam starts iterating with this design to put it into some smaller lights... or maybe something even larger

I too hope for a FC40 version soon!
If it ever becomes a thing I'll have to do another video on it
@@LuxWad And I'll have to buy one or maybe even two!
I have just one light with an FC40, my newest light so far, and I can't have enough of it. My favourite emitter _by _*_far._*

Ah crap, I totally forgot about that lol

Matt Smith is hiring, I reckon you'd be a good addition to the channel.
Thanks :) I actually caught wind of his job posting a few days ago, we've already been in contact
They make this like in a 6500k and a 5000k version. Would you say the 6500k has a bluish tint and the 5000k is more "white"?
6500K is more "white", 5000K is more yellowish in comparison. I find 5000K to be more natural and pleasant, it's closer to daylight white
Light brought daylight while sun was out
2 questions. is it waterproof?! and 2 how long stay high light with a full battery?! how much hours?!
1) Yes
2) The graph shows you the runtime at every level.
i have an imalent DX80. its very durable.
you think the handle is sturdy and wont break off of the x75?
would you upgrade to the X75?
I do think the handle is very sturdy, I wouldn't worry about it breaking.
There's probably no need to upgrade, but personally I probably would sell the DX80 and use that money for an X75
@@LuxWad thanks. i think ill do that.
Now on their site it says IP68 Waterproof up to 2 meters underwater? did they just made the x75 waterproof???
Yeah the X75 is waterproof, even with the fan system
Nice light.. BUT..... the ms12 mini is a better and much smaller more compact flashlight😊
I actually have a review of that light, and I find it far too flawed to recommend
Hi LuxWad. Does 11,000 lumens really last for an hour without a drop in light? As shown in the catalog
Yes
@@LuxWad thank yoy
How many times you can use turbo with one charge?
Several times, it just depends on how long you let it run after step-down
@@LuxWad tanks
Whats your opinion on the Wurkkos TS22?
I haven't tried the TS22, it looks pretty good though
@@LuxWad I've researched a bit and it seems to be even floodier than the TS21 with worse color rendition. so meh... But a version with Cree XPH70.3 (HI) looks promising
It's a single cell with a higher voltage LED than the TS21 so it should be much more efficient and have better sustained output
Do acebeam x75 have 5000k and 6500k versions have any difference in turbo time?
The 5000K won't be quite as bright, but the difference won't really matter in use; it's rated at 75k lumens
🍿🍿🍭🎉
Imalent can run 22000 lumen for 67 minutes, so lies! >:o
It cannot, look at the 1lumen tests for a direct comparison: 1lumen.com/review/acebeam-x75/#acebeam-imalent

If you watched the video you'd know Acebeam did not send me anything.
