I NEED a P18! With FOUR SFT-40 diodes, that thing is just simply badass! Can’t think of many other lights on the market, especially that are this affordable…that have multiple SFT-40’s, especially in a fairly compact light. Great beamshots video.
I don't like the P18's beam pattern, and I bought a P16 but don't really enjoy it as much as other acebeam lights. But I can still see the value in this video, especially for others. So thanks for all the effort, I'm sure it was worth it!
Thank you for showing how close the spill is to your feet. As someone who walks my dogs at night, this matters a lot for me. Tho i dont think i can afford acebeam products lol.
I am amazed that the narrow hotspot throwers make the trees look farther away. This is why I like flooders. It's as if the trees are magnified. Review the opening sequence to see if you agree!
interesting point of view, I've never looked at it that way. Gonna pay attention to that next time I'll be in the forest and check if I see the same - I might say - optical effect/illusion.
Fantastic video. Exactly what I was looking for. I already bought the P16 and love it. I’ll definitely have to get the L19 and P18 too. They’re both so cool
to me TIR ( optic ) clearly looks superior but the extra throw of L19 is dubious because while it has the intensity the atmosphere will only let you throw so far before everything looks like fog no matter how bright your beam is ... maybe if you have one person point the flashlight and another film from say 50 feet to the side it would look better but then you have to always carry your buddy with you to hold the flashlight LOL
I'm leaving myself L19, because it has very wide spill, nice and intensive spot, while it doesn't comsume that much power from battery. I really recommend this on if size doesn't matter that much.
P18 lose it's purpose IMHO Too big for tactical...for this size, it will compete with Astrolux FT02s, for example...half price, double lumens, almost same throw
@@matheusmf4135 not a very good comparison. First of all, P18 is a tactical light. It has dual tail switches with instant strobe, the FT02S only has a side switch. FT02S also comes with Anduril, completely useless as a tactical light and annoying to anyone who just wants a simple interface. FT02S also uses a FET PWM driver which means very low efficiency and no stabilization in higher modes, while Acebeam is known to use high efficiency drivers with good stabilization. That causes FT02S to heat up very fast in turbo mode and it will throttles hard and fast, P18 will maintain better throw for longer. P18's charging port is also better protected against water ingress and it tldr: No, FT02S is a toy, P18 is a tool.

This was very well done. Thank you! I'll take the P17. I think its a very well balanced light for most general uses.
I want a P16 now. The spill on the SFT40 is just so impressive for a single throwy emitter 👌🏼
Прекрасный обзор-сравнение!!! Вы талантливый мастер по фонарям и профессионал! Почёт и уважение!!!🙂😇👍👌🙏

Great beamshots video.
i just bought the P18 3 weeks ago. It is so good. The build quality from acebeam is superb also. Now waiting for my L35 v2.0 to arrive
Pure GOLD, P18 has the best combination, and The L19 first model is the perfect Flashlight in my opinion 🔦🔦✌️✌️
Just got The L19 2.0 Osram Pm1. My Dream Light. Just love it ❤❤

Same! I don't care for the wall flower pattern of the P18.

P Series from Acebeam is such a bad ass collection. I want them all lol!

the choice of music is perfect.
大変参考になる動画で良かったです！ビームパターンや照射範囲、距離など分かりやすく、最高の動画です！
Great video.
The P17 is currently at the top of my wishlist.
I got one, no tail standing and no built in charger. But overall is a great flashlight!
@@matheusmf4135 how is the spill? Does it light up a wider area? Im thinking about getting P17.
no, spill is narrow im P17
Vedio and music are really well done！
thanks! ✌️🦾

I have all 4, but my favorite is the L35 with lattice led :) not the cree.
I am looking at that one too. Can you tell me please, what you like better about that L35 Lattus LED?
I have a p18 and p17.
P17 for EDC.
P18 for zombie apocalypse.
I'd take the P17 anyday.. perhaps Acebeam should release another P16 version using xhp50.3 HD/HI, sst40,sst70,sft70
Cheers!

The light reflects off the trees. This is why night vision sucks Ina forest
thank you very much! P17 the best😇!!!
Just need that L19
Hello protechteus, could you tell me where to get the cigar grip rings which are shown on P17 and P18 rigth at the beginnig?
I found it on AliExpress - try to search for "silicone tactical ring".
Thank you very much!
how to remove the clip from acebeam p17 without scratching body
no idea, never tried anything other than just simple pull
I will buy p18
I 've got p16 and 18..nice design and awesome fl..where did you get the tactical ring for p17 n p18..have a link sir...?
I found it on AliExpress - seek for "silicone tactical ring"
@@protechteus tqvm bro
Again a very good video.
I think I will wait for the green variant of the P17 and then modify it to a XHP70.3 HI in 5700K.
5700K high cri? I recently swapped them to my X75 😎 tint is great, but lost 25% lumens in turbo
@@protechteus I don't mind the lower lumens. I prefer the XHP70.3HI in 5700K. It is a great LED. High CRI for sure... ;)
best here is p17 and l19..what you suggest to buy? im in dillemma
I'm leaving myself L19, because it has very wide spill, nice and intensive spot, while it doesn't comsume that much power from battery. I really recommend this on if size doesn't matter that much.
@@protechteus man the size seems great nothing to worry me about.. thanks i will buy it now thanks for reply immediately :)
wich one is your favorite?
P18 ⚡️
it was good to add acebeam l18 and acebeam l35 to the comparison.
I don't have those
Wow!
Что за музыка на фоне? 👍
check out the description ✌️
which is better ?
hard to say, but P18 is winning in most categories
This is a comparison video. Why don't you watch it and decide for yourself?
Better for what? Size? Throw? Lumens? Spot vs Flood? CRI?
P18 lose it's purpose IMHO
