Exactly. I bought a monocular to use with my Catapult V6. Tripod too. I got alleys where I'm at on the border of Mexico in El Paso. I can see straight down a mile or better of smuggling. Too far away to make out with naked eye. Would LOVE to get this AceBeam. Soon, hopefully. Then I'll have to upgrade to a telescope.
You know that doesn't make any sense right?.....you know a rifle doesnt point straight at a target...it points above...the bullets drops..if you attached a light or a laser to a sniper rifle..it would point right over whatever you aimed at
Honestly, the best beam distance test ever. Not just ranmly shining it at stuff in the dark and guessing the distance. Showing us inthe daylight first so we can gauge with our eyes the distance too.
I literally just got this light today and then I see your video. It is awesome, I felt like a little kid. also there is a couple flashlights that can out throw this, but pound for pound this light is the best. This light 2.4km throw @ 500lm $260 which is still smaller than an average flashlight is out thrown by: 1) BLF GTvn (two different specs) spec1) 2.4km throw @ 4500lm $700 spec2) 2.8km throw@ 5500lm) $1400 2) Lemax LX70 superpower (must contact manufacturer to buy. It is a non LED light) 70W mode 7500lm 4km* throw, 50W mode 5400lm 3km* throw $2500 both lights are huge *claimed by manufacturer but not tested by public
Love the thought of having a laser light. Price is just beyond what I would be willing to spend. Exhaust on the T/A is a little much. Probably would have liked it when I was 16 though.
Awesome video as usual. My wife thinks I lost my mind with the amount of flashlights I have. I’m a collector of all sorts by nature but this has her stumped. Lol. Just ordered this and can’t wait to try it out. Hey, you’re car sounds sick! That exhaust note is sweet!!
Thanks for doing this one for us. That thing is spectacular! Your choice in music, starting at 11:58. Was a perfect choice. Very well done. I will have to get one of these. : - ) I remember seeing this one as a prototype, at Shot Show. I think it was the 2019 Show? About 6 months ago now. I was very interested then, and have been eagerly waiting for it to pop up.
Hey scannerguy1968 one qüestion: At which brightness level do we consider that the flashlight is at the end of its range? For example: if a flashlight has a throw of 1km, what is the brightness at 1km? Thanks!
That's the type of flashlight I want to hunt with at dusk. So I can actually see the reflection of the eyes while it's still somewhat sunny. But is there a flashlight like that and that is not a mile and a half long with the beam?
scannerguy1968, I bought this flashlight and then of course, as if by magic, I have suggestions in my RUclips feed regarding the Acebeam W30. Yours is the video I clicked on out of curiosity, because I was incredibly impressed with this "flashlight" after trying it out for myself. I just wanted you to know that I appreciate the time and effort you put into the making of this video. If anyone was on the fence about buying this Wave Motion Gun....I mean...this flashlight, your video should tip the scales for them. Peace
WOW this ACEBEAM W30 flashlight is INSANE 🤪😜👍👍 GREAT in depth video thanks for the effort.That FATMAX light is a FANTASTIC LIGHT for the $ iv had 1 for about 7 years now it's almost a bright as my WISSBLUE H1 and NITECORE MH40GT.
I have just received one of them,at 6500°Κ,but as it is noon here,I wait till the night. Until then,I tried to the white walls and the ceiling,but I saw that besides the small-intense center beam spot,there is a large orange corona around this,something that I don’t see in the photographs of the reviewer and I don’t like.What do you think? Also,I tried to use a 18650 battery,putting it in the supplied cylindrical case,but it is not working.I see that the new battery length,is less than the one of the 21700 battery.So,what can I do please?
I don't get it! You have a 1.1 mile beam shot to do and you don't! Nice the pointing it back to the camera thing but where is the long shots for us to see? I'm not understanding.
Yeah i thought the light sucked when i saw this, i just saw another video and its crazy how much throw this has. If it wasnt so bulky and came with a diffuser for regular use then i would totally buy it. This is classified as a class 3 laser!!!
@@michaelmarquez6133 _You know the 4ft fluorescent light fixtures in offices? You cant really see the tubes because there's a Plastic panel with a diamond pattern in it that spreads the light evenly. The channel "Matt Smith" demo'd this w30 flashlight and used a piece of diffuser to show the affect near the end of his vid. It worked really well._
How did you remove the knurl (anti-rolling) collar??? I dont want to start torquing on the thing I tried hand pressure but couldnt get it apart....HELP!!!
There is two types of this flashlight, the cool white and cri 90. What one would show the brightest beam of light and which would you prefer Scannerguy ?
I susbribed to your channel, I love your reviews, clear and proper. I'm thinking about a new light, for night walking with the dog, what do you advice me sir? Nitecore MH40GTR AceBeam K70 Or the AceBeam W30 Regards
Hi there Scannerguy, I’m thinking of getting this flashlight and was wondering if it still provides the same beam strength when used with an 18650 battery in the provided adapter ?
With the red filter on, how visible is the beam in the night sky? I often use green laser pointers for picking out objects in the night sky but they're becoming heavily regulated and frowned upon in Aus, but this might make a good alternative.
I can't believe this. Never heard of LEP before. Just yesterday night I was watching flashlight videos trying to find a good new torch for work... and later, when I was going to sleep, I thought to myself. "I wonder if it was possible to somehow combine different color laser and emit it in a wide but still consistent beam...or maybe shine the laser like the cathode ray tube TV does with electrons bashing on to a phosphor screen or something... hmm?" Well, this isn't the first time I think of something and later learn that it already exists.
That’s a great light to shine at drivers that don’t turn down their high beams. That will get them to turn them down. Only kidding, that will probably get you arrested. Great job on this video, it shows you put a lot of time and effort into it.
As a laser safety officer, I can tell you that if rated correctly, a class 2m laser is perfectly legal for you to own. As you stated, do not shine it in peoples eyes but if you do accidentally, your blink reaction is less then 1/4 of a second which is quick enough to not harm the eye.
George Speck Oh I can definitely see some regulations having to be put on these. Especially if it has a strobe; but I suppose a person could also just turn it off and on for that...that’ll make anyone vomit and super dizzy.
13:30 Amazing Power. in the near future they be able send up drones, that can totally Blind the enemy....even in Daylight ! Can some one explain , what does the laser do? Thanks for the nice review!
There are 3 models, being regular(6500k color temperature), neutral/warm white at 4000k, and high CRI for superb color rendition for things like hunting.
I wonder would there be any permanent eye damage form someone inadvertently catching a glimpse of this at 4-500 yards? And what about any permanent damage to deer, owl or raccoon eyes?
That's a first for a flashlight having a radiation warning. If you read below the warning it says never expose skin or eyes directly in radiation field.
We are getting to the point where these companies should start shipping binoculars with these lights so we can see what we are lighting up!
Exactly. I bought a monocular to use with my Catapult V6. Tripod too. I got alleys where I'm at on the border of Mexico in El Paso. I can see straight down a mile or better of smuggling. Too far away to make out with naked eye. Would LOVE to get this AceBeam. Soon, hopefully. Then I'll have to upgrade to a telescope.
And user manuals in Braille ...
🤣😂
FINALLY!!! A tactical light for your sniper rifle!!! Lol!
You really could. The enemy would be blinded as well.
You know that doesn't make any sense right?.....you know a rifle doesnt point straight at a target...it points above...the bullets drops..if you attached a light or a laser to a sniper rifle..it would point right over whatever you aimed at
Thus, the lol. It was supposed to be a joke. Of course it didn't make sense!
@@The570Experience You need to attach it to the scope.
@@The570Experience come on, NO gun person calls a rifle " sniper rifle"
Absolutely the best review I've seen of the Acebeam W30.
Thank you for your efforts.
You make the best flashlight videos. Adding the mystical music is awesome!!! Good work!
You made me buy my Acebeam EC60. I don't regret it at all. Watching your videos is going to get expensive.
It's bad ain't it. Wife doesn't know yet I bought this
coherence_x54r Than ain’t no shit!!! This guys videos have cost me close to a grand in flashlights!
scannerguy1968 Mine don’t either because she would raise total hell because of how much it cost! What do women know!!!!
Great comparisons, I appreciate that you took the time for showing subjective POV's of the light from the business end.
This light is amazing. It's so intense that you could use this in a self defense situation.
One of the best torch reviews I have seen thus far.. 😎
Cheers from Melbourne, Australia..
If this Acebeam W30 had spill as well,I would pick one up to buy in a heartbeat!!!
I'm sure they will come out with one with the spill,, with the same type of light engine,
Really enjoy you thrower flashlights videos, you make 'em, i watch 'em... a good day sir.
The future of flashlight technology. Love to see a TIR lens on that
That's truely amazing! Ive never seen anything like it.
I live out in the country and my neighbors are threatening to call the sheriff on me. Great neighbors huh
This is an "Must Have" to the collection! :)
Enjoyed the video, I just ordered one of the W30 lights.. Man can never have to much fire.
Honestly, the best beam distance test ever. Not just ranmly shining it at stuff in the dark and guessing the distance. Showing us inthe daylight first so we can gauge with our eyes the distance too.
Holy shit lol. If I had $285 right now, I’d totally get one of those bad boys, before my husbands deployment. He would seriously love that lol.
Most impressive. Gets me thinking that UFO's aren't gonna like this when pointing up at sky.
Great review and approach with your testing! Thank you!
OK, probably the best flashlight video ive seen.
Nice video and flashlight. What camera did you use to zoom in on at 15:00 AMAZING ZOOM CLARITY ??
That is unreal. It’s like that we could do some serious eye damage if you shine that one on someone
ITS NOT A LASER NOOB
Great video. Thank you for taking the time to really show us
Great presentation! How does it perform in heavy rain/snow/fog??
That's a crazy tight beam shot right there buddy lol
Love the videos!! Keep up the great work.
Is there one with a wider throw this seems much better for a wide beam light then regulst led flashlights
I like your T/A... looks great, sounds great...and... REAL men still drive manual transmissions! ;)
I literally just got this light today and then I see your video. It is awesome, I felt like a little kid.
also there is a couple flashlights that can out throw this, but pound for pound this light is the best.
This light 2.4km throw @ 500lm $260 which is still smaller than an average flashlight is out thrown by:

2) Lemax LX70 superpower (must contact manufacturer to buy. It is a non LED light)
70W mode 7500lm 4km* throw, 50W mode 5400lm 3km* throw $2500
both lights are huge
*claimed by manufacturer but not tested by public
WOW looks so awesome, i so want one! Sweet review cheers👍🏻👍🏻🇦🇺
I can only get the W10 here in sweden, is that a good buy also? greets, Levi
Love the thought of having a laser light. Price is just beyond what I would be willing to spend. Exhaust on the T/A is a little much. Probably would have liked it when I was 16 though.
Does it come with a diffusion lens? Might come in handy for up close and personal purposes!!!
Any thermal concerns?
Awesome video as usual. My wife thinks I lost my mind with the amount of flashlights I have. I’m a collector of all sorts by nature but this has her stumped. Lol. Just ordered this and can’t wait to try it out. Hey, you’re car sounds sick! That exhaust note is sweet!!
Thanks. Can u still get the w30?
Thanks for doing this one for us. That thing is spectacular!

10:00 That is a mighty impressive flashlight! Amazing how the countryside is all lit up like it was daytime 🤣
When, where ? All l saw was a dot of too bright light, pointless and useless.
please compare the beam shots with the astrolux mf04.
This flashlight is amazing.
What trick did you use in the beginning....green laser on paper?
I Just ordered one, Do you know the filter size? It shows the front being 61mm but that looks like the outside. Maybe 58mm??? Thank you!
Live your digs there buddy! Hey I'd like to see a comparison of this light next to the new Javalot pro
Brilliant review!!!
Scannerguy1968, shining the light on darkness for us since 2011. Thanks for the reviews; Time spent well!
Lol
Knowing what you know now which LEP would you suggest for me since i dont own one but want to but really dont wanna spend over 300 max
might be useful for a ship at sea or in a plane looking down for search parties. I don't need one but looks like fun.
Awesome throw.
LIGHTING UP THE SKELETON WAS PRETTY COOL I WISH THESE WERE NOT SO EXPENSIVE OR I WOULD HAVE A FEW OF THEM BUT SAVING TO BUY SOME ACEBEAMS
Awesome vid. Will you be reviewing the brand new Fenix TK11 TAC?
Can it start fires like many others?
That's the type of flashlight I want to hunt with at dusk. So I can actually see the reflection of the eyes while it's still somewhat sunny. But is there a flashlight like that and that is not a mile and a half long with the beam?

unflipping real!!!!!! Dude!! The music!!!!! LOVE IT!!!great review, thanks! Sub'ed and did you see W10 gen 2 is out!!!
Did you ever find a Green filter for your W-30 ? Thanks for the vids. it’s a fun hobby.
Best place to buy?
How did you remove the knurl (anti-rolling) collar??? I dont want to start torquing on the thing I tried hand pressure but couldnt get it apart....HELP!!!
Can you mount a scope on this? :D
Brilliant (no pun intended) review!
Very good flashlight
Scannerguy1968, Do you know which red filter will fit the W30 ? Your help would be much appreciated. Thanks.
WS6 or W30? Which is better? Love them both. Thanks for taking your time making this video sir.
Another excellent presentation 👌👍😁. Guess what I'm about to buy soon????
A cheaper and more useful flashlight?
There is two types of this flashlight, the cool white and cri 90.
What one would show the brightest beam of light and which would you prefer Scannerguy ?
Cool white to blue is always perceived as brighter and is closer to what the retina cells in your eyes can process during nighttime.
Does it have a spread beam?
Beautiful part of the country you live in
I susbribed to your channel, I love your reviews, clear and proper.
I'm thinking about a new light, for night walking with the dog, what do you advice me sir?
Nitecore MH40GTR
AceBeam K70
Or the
AceBeam W30
Regards
Wow. That thing is practically a weapon. 🤣. Thank-You.
Considering this Acebeam W30 and the Imalent UT90. Would like to mount on a hunting rifle.
Hi there Scannerguy, I’m thinking of getting this flashlight and was wondering if it still provides the same beam strength when used with an 18650 battery in the provided adapter ?
Yes it does. Just less runtime
Olá está lanterna é muito e é bem potente Parabéns. Abraço! Rio de Janeiro Brazil
What is the color temperature of the light?
Does the beam reflect off windows?
I just wish it had a couple power settings. Usually I use low modes the most.
Could this be used in daylight to scare birds off of crops? Would it work?
With the red filter on, how visible is the beam in the night sky? I often use green laser pointers for picking out objects in the night sky but they're becoming heavily regulated and frowned upon in Aus, but this might make a good alternative.
You can see it pretty decent. Doesn't stand out tho
@@scannerguy1968 Cheers for that. Sounds about spot on. Ah, an unintended pun there.....
Will it hit some clouds ?
I wonder if this can take a airsoft bbs at the lens
Do you still have this light

I'am pretty sure they wouldn't understand... ;-)
Michael Karger, true, many drivers today are oblivious to everything around them and just into their phone.
Whahooooo!! So bright you can see the moon !!!
whwrez da 1 mile beam?
What was that loud gun noise in the video?
Thanks a lot great review
