You *do* need this much light. You need this much light to pull it out after a few beers and say to your friends "Hey, check out how much light this things puts out"
That thing is super fun but I used to have a flashlight that has a lot of lumens like that and I never used it but to turn on and show people how much light I could make with a flashlight and the novelty wore off really fast😂 but if you’re in search and rescue or something or you’re hunting, Bigfoot, this thing could really come in handy
I have to agree with you about the functionality on this light ,it’s the best. I have a Manker MK 38 SFT 40 in white because of its throw. But my favorite is the X75 70.3/67,000 lm it’s a beast with its run times.its way of cooling down the light head with its heat sink is brilliant.thanks for sharing such a great production.
Funny how I just happen to come across your video 10 hours after I purchase this light 😂. Your reviews are never disappointing . Thank you for the great review ❤
This is certainly good looking and looks well thought out. I like the removable and replaceable fan. I'd like to see replaceable cells though. Even if using a more robust connector. To me, non replaceable cells is a no go. Absolutely a deal breaker.
While there are brighter flashlights that can momentarily beat the X75, but the Acebeam can sustain high output better than any other. BTW, the finish is less durable than traditional anodization, but does look good. Super efficient fan design, unlike other high output, cooled flashlights.
The XHP70.3 is technically superior to previous XHP emitters. CREE did an amazing job. And you're absolutely right -- peak output is rather meaningless, when it's just so brief (mere seconds). Sustained output is where it's at. Always should be a top consideration.
Love your videos! Been preparing for an upcoming cruise and I was looking at the Juice Bracelet and was wondering if you could review it? I haven’t seen any reviews on youtube..
despite what all the manufactures claim the micro arc is much less durable than the normal HAIII finish. It looks very nice tho and it wont really hurt the light, its just gonna mean youll get scratches and scuffs more easily
It's good to hear that the battery pack is constructed with four 21700 cells... but as demonstrated, they're encapsulated as a single module within the body. I do see what look to be Torx screws on it... and I wonder if it's possible to disassemble the module and gain access to the cells. These battery packs are extremely expensive and... what often tends to happen with such packs as they age is one cell may start to lose its maximum capacity ahead of the other cells.... to eventually cause enough disparity where the firmware considers it a faulty pack. Being able to replace one troubled cell to restore function would be a real money saver.
It looks like there are just two pins being used for power from the battery pack. So I doubt it has any complicated electronics. But I wouldn't spend 500 usd on a light without a replaceable battery. I'd be interested to see how to change the cells manually.
@@spr00sem00se I think it has got internal BMS to balance the cells, keep temperature levels okay, etc. It also does need to talk to devices when using it as a power bank so some electronics are inside, I'm pretty sure. It needs to negotiate which standard to use when charging other devices (QC2.0, QC3.0, PD, and so on). It also needs to negotiate the charging standard to use when it is getting power delivered to the torch/flashlight. With some skills in electronics repair, it should be possible to replace any faulty cell. One problem that may occur is that the waterproofing could be damaged. Disclaimer: All this is how I understand it, and if you ask my beloved wife, I can often be wrong😁
Jon plz advise me that if I am not using my LED rechargeable flashlights for , say , month or two months or longer periods: Should I take out rechargeable batteries and store them separately to save flashlight springs from unnecessary burden or should I keep the batteries inside my flashlights?
Batteries are fine left inside I would say as long as light doesn't draw any power when off - many do with digital switches - with traditional flashlights/torches a quarter turn on the battery tube or pack should disconnect the power completely - check to see it won't switch on.
@jackp8931 obviously, after being in the farming game for generations I'm pretty sure im not going to shine a light like this right at my stock! Good lord 🤦
Ive been looking at the white one on the acebeam website and wondered if you had to pay import? As they dont have a uk website and you cant get the white one anywhere other than their main site. Even the black one with the same internals is only available on their site.
Wow. You could mount that thing to a helicopter as a searchlight. I really have to wonder what the neighbors think about the odd lights that come from your lot. Sometimes it's not anything too noteworthy, then there are lights like this where it's like looking into the Death Star main laser if they look out the window to see what's going on.
Many thanks for the ‘straight to the point’ review. Does this MAO version comes with the rubber shroud for the head that changes colour with heat? Appreciate the comparison between X75 and MS18, for me X75 is bright enough and prctically more manageable and handsome. Cheers have a great wejend ahead.
As one who is often on 'windy mode' myself, I am accepting of that label as used here. One of those Universal Human Conditions we all share. No need for embarrassment - just keep that window open!
Dont be fooled by the lower lumens on the 70.3 led. Its probably the version most people should get. The color and tint is a lot nicer to look at and it has more range
I'd much rather have the olight Marauder or Marauder mini. I can't see how you would need any more light than what they emit unless you need to light up a football match
@@chrisohanlon69 we are all different, with different needs/wants. I do Neighborhood Watch in the deep and dark forests of Sweden, so I have great use of lots of lumens. I can cope without it, but since I like useful gadgets and don't spend money on "ordinary luxury", I have ordered an X75 5000K

I don’t need this much light for anything. But it is still satisfying seeing the nighttime test shots.
The music is killer
Fur reels

LOVELY Review of the best flashlight in the world! Completely agree with everything! Perfect!
great to hear
🎵🎶 I Stilllll Haven't Found What I'm Looking For🎵🎶 Oh wait! Acebeam X75 maybe I have. Thanks, Jon, for the excellent review.
No problem 👍

That white micro-arc oxidation finish looks pretty!
I like it too

Since 4 years I use imalent ms18 and for me this is the jest flashlight ever
but heavy
Love acebeam products!
Do your neighbors get much sleep at night when you test flashlights/touches? 😂😂
Seriously, I appreciate your work. 🙏🏻
They have black-out blinds 😁

@@JonGadget thanks for ur advice
This would be very usefull for me checking up on the farms animals, possable disturbence reports and night time working.
Animals will be blinded in too much light

This was well presented. I was hoping to see what a 1000m illumination looked like as per the manufacturer claims... but 🤷♂️
expect 300m for practical applications - at 1300m light is only going to be 0.25lux
Thanks as always Jon, I know what to use next time I lose my keys! ;-)
When you submerge it in water in turbo mode, it turns into a submarine 😂😂
All jokes aside, looks very professional indeed.
😊 yes, it's a good one
finally the x75

How does this compare to nitecores search and rescue torches? I only own a nitecore tiny2 but its amazing for a key chain light
Nitecores S&R flashlights don't play in the same division AFAIK. Their brightest has a turbo mode of about 20000 lumens, and that is for seconds.
Dont be fooled by the lower lumens on the 70.3 led. Its probably the version most people should get. The color and tint is a lot nicer to look at and it has more range
I agree 👍
Father’s Day is coming up 😏
Imalent sr 16 !
These lights are insane, LOL. Just get a helicopter spotlight!
Yep! 😁
Are you the same guy that presented The Gadget show ?
er....nope - but I did have The Gadget Shop!
Somebody should try to edc this one 😂
😬
Birds in the trees: WTAF?!
Loved the video… until you mentioned the price. Perhaps start with that. 😅
Do your neighbors ever get irritated with the flashlights
$450+ ..
😮
a bargain compared to the ms18 which is still like 600 and is objectively worse
why...?
and it's nearly $500
nothing I want to buy!
OK if you want to be seen from space
search and rescue is a good use-case
i mean its arguably the best flashlight money can buy... not that much money considering that
That thing is ugly
I'd much rather have the olight Marauder or Marauder mini. I can't see how you would need any more light than what they emit unless you need to light up a football match

It would be better if you showed those stats next to each other not one after the other
noted - thank you 👍
