I only have the Seeker 2 Pro instead of 3, but now that I also have the E75 (519a version) I can make at least some comparisons. I give Olight a slight edge in build quality, beam pattern and efficiency. They both feel quite tough and sturdy, but the button on Olight is just so much better. The button on E75 is not that bad, but especially compared to the Olight it feels a bit unresponsive and slightly wobbly and mushy despite technically being very solid. Olight also feels a bit better in hand overall. Again, E75 is certainly not bad but the silicone grip combined with the fantastic button just make the Seeker feel like a joy to hold and handle. I like the thickness of the Acebeam's bezel much better, but I have mixed feelings about how aggressive it is. I was a bit surprised at how much tighter the E75's hotspot is compared to the Seeker 2 Pro, despite the former having four leds and the latter only 3. I suppose that's the difference between TIR's and smooth reflectors and possibly led sizes. However, the smooth reflectors also make E75's beam pattern a bit funky and restless on very close ranges. Tighter is also not necessarily better for a general use light meant for both mid and close ranges. So far so good for Olight, but to me, Acebeam takes the cake in things that matter the most. It almost feels unfair to compare beam quality. E75 @ 5000K demolishes so badly and makes Olight's cold and green light look downright ghastly by comparison. Also, no proprietary batteries necessary for Acebeam. Seeker 2 Pro can actually run on some non-proprietary batteries, but it's quite picky about them and they can't be charged within the light itself. Usb-c charging on E75 is very convenient, even if it makes the light feel slightly less secure from water etc. Finally, E75 has an actual moonlight mode. Olight's 5-ish lumens is not completely terrible, but for a general use edc that ~1 lumen moon mode is obviously better and pretty much essential. All in all, E75 is the winner for me. It beats the Seeker 2 Pro clearly in the most important categories, and the losses are very tight in others. However, I feel like Seeker 2 Pro has enough upsides to still be a relevant light today. I'm happy to have both.
The neutral white LED in the Baton 3 Pro Max is actually a very good one. About 4900K and no nasty green tint. Olight has been getting a lot better about their tints and color options this year. Hopefully the Seeker 4 will come out with the same NW option with rosey tint like the B3PM. I think between these 2, the Acebeam trounces the Seeker 3. And thats good, because it will push Olight to make the Seeker 4 even better.
I like my Seeker 3 Pro. 4200 lumens are wonderful. I used to use it in the belt holster pouch thing. Then the clip came out and I now only pocket clip carry it. So great.
I've had the seeker 3 pro for a few months and having to rotate the switch is a deal breaker for me . Fantastic light output and well built , but always the last light I grab for . Thanks for all your hard work .
5:25 - ещё одно подтверждение для меня, что лучший свет, это холодный белый. Чувак, спасибо, что разубедил меня покупать Acebeam E75 :) У меня есть Olight Seeker 4 Pro Midnight Blue (Cool White), и по оттенку света - это самое лучшее, что есть для моих глаз. Только не нравится, что у него нет крепления под темляк и нет режимных 500-600 lm. Зато есть настоящие стабильные 1200 lm (1000 на самом деле) на 2,5 часа.
I have started to see more value in usb c charging. From a pure convenience point of view, one charger and cable in the wall. However with some fast chargers I'm having to swap to a slower charge for flashlights. I do agree on the 5000k 90cri colour temp, since having the I5R and then getting the I5R HCRI version, the beam is considerably better to look at. So like you, big fan of 90cri. The seeker 3 pro wheel, another positive would be not having to cycle through to get back to low. For example, on medium, I am able to drop down to low in an instant and back to medium - has about 4 to 5 levels in between each of the standard button presses. Has been useful when working on something and needed exact amount of light (changing a wound dressing outdoors for example). Whereas others will have either blinding light and back to low, or off and then back through the settings. I think also the seeker 3 pro having this competition, will hopefully make the seeker 4 pro come in the warm white and neutral white versions. I saw the warm white version of the baton 3 pro and pro max sell out fast, and only one real review of the 'warm white'. If you can get your hands on the 'warm white' versions of olight, be good to see how they compare to 90cri (acebeam) and neutral white versions of olight . But yeah, great review - like all your reviews. Acebeam have made an excellent light.
Here's something you can do to showcase the CRI difference: take a wall painting or picture, one with variable colors from reds to blues to greens to yellows and oranges, basically lots of hues, the more the better. Look at it first with the room light. Then shine each of the lights at it with the room lights turned off. Look at the colors and you'll see immediately why there's such a lovefest for the Nichia 519A.
You could also take items like anything made out of unpainted wood, food stuff like fruits, vegetables and meat, houseplants, flowers and just plain brown cardboard and point different lights at them. Or you could go to bathroom or basement or any room you can get mostly dark, then see how your skin looks like under high vs. low cri lights. The difference should be clear.
The E75 is so close to being perfect! If I could change anything it would be making the beam more diffused (I prefer pure flood), a llttle warmer tint (around 3000K - 4000K) and making the pocket clip more adjustable so you can place it wherever you want (I do NOT want the pocket clip to be directly on the opposite side of the switch, I prefer to have it on the left side of the switch)
I won't be buying fancy coloured torches from Olight anymore. Have a warranty issue on my olight warrior 3s in gunmetal, reached out to olight and the fix was sending out a black replacement tail cap. obviously I said no way. Beware of limited edition colourways...

This is the comparison we needed
Thanks bro

I think it's worth mentioning that the Olight uses proprietary batteries.
I'm just getting into lights and I really want the E75. Love the green. Hope it goes on sale one day. $100 US is a bit steep for me.
I like the tint and temp of the acebeam!
I've had the seeker 3 pro for a few months and having to rotate the switch is a deal breaker for me . Fantastic light output and well built , but always the last light I grab for . Thanks for all your hard work .
Thanks for watching mate
Olight 4 me❤

As I commented on one of your previous videos the bezel is made of stainless steel on the E75 according to the Acebeam web site.
Thanks Legend
I got both s3p n e75 neutral white…e75 beat s3p…wayyy better than s3p…
How would the acebeam e75 compare to olight seeker 4 pro?
What would you choose?
I'd choose the e75. I like it better especially because you can have it in a more natural nichia light
I buy flashlight for it's light, and olight for me is better in so many ways....

You are amazing!

Honestly, those adjustments make it sound EVEN BETTER!! I LIKE YOUR TASTE

Id never buy an olight. That proprietary crap is not something i would buy.
It's no different if you have a couple oports. It basically charges usbc
