These two lights are excellent choices to carry into the woods on a trail at night. They function almost like mirrors of each other: one is extra floody, but can still throw, the other is extra throwy, but still has enough spill. The L35 in particular is almost a perfect hiking light, a smooth even fade from the hotspot out to the edges, huge hotspot that still has definition and distance to it despite its uniformity, and a flat runtime output when you need it to last through the hike.

Good comparison. I’ve had both of these. I would categorize these lights as general purpose lights. I love the temp of the l35 and the beam pattern. The p18 is long range. It also has the charging at the collar. I would go with p18.

[@paultruesdale7680]

I would disagree on general purpose, maybe for flashaholics. The P18 is a nice light but it’s beam is to cool. The L35 is a special light that is almost Goldie locks perfect for a single cell flash light. In my humble opinion 🙂

Thank you for a fantastic review of these two flashlights, which I've been torn between. After seeing your video, I'm convinced that the L35 is what I'm looking for.

I love the p18’s light and that cloverleaf spill but the L35 is more user friendly for someone like me - I need that mode button on the body and not the tail cap. Also a lanyard makes a difference to me (because I guarantee I’ll drop it!) and the p18 doesn’t have it. :/ Anyway nice review. I really enjoy your channel!

[@flashlightcrazy]

Thank you for the comment! I definitely like the L35 the best too

[@ShouldaWaved]

I hear you, the side button is something I kinda need as well..

[@paultruesdale7680]

Nice review It’s hard to believe that these two lights came from the same manufacturer. The L35 UI is so simple than the P18. I bought the L35 so I can search between the houses without disturbing anyone, which it does very well unless you hit turbo. It has a beautiful color temp and has become my favorite light of my collection. I really like quad lights, but the P18 has some weird spacings and has a messy UI for my taste. Nice hidden charging port, same as the quad 4severns. I really like your comparisons videos and overall content design. New subscriber

Thanks for the comment and the sub. Yeah the L35 is my fav acebeam by far. Simply perfect

[@MaxMustermann-wk6nx]

L35 V1 is a little bit greenish isnt it? How do you like it compared to the V2.0?

[@YuxuanLiao]

I love the the perfectly beautiful tint on the l35, which also have a high CRI and thrower beam. But the p18 bezel design just too nice. Acebeam should really use that design language on the l35❤

[@gwashburn39]

The L35 with Lattice LED is my fav. the UI in the L35 is much better, the rear switch is much better. the P18 is hard to press rear tail switch or I fumble and press the aux switch. L35 with Lattice is my winner all day.

Witch one do you recommend for Law enforcement cement

[@billyleung2379]

P18 ia a perfect fusion of P17 & L35 😎

[@itanamullik]

The first time I used the l35 I gotta say all I said was "damn this is the 1"

[@flashlightcrazy]

Hahah yes me too

[@WiesoNurMistnamen]

Can you use generic 21700 or 18650 with adapter?

[@flashlightcrazy]

I think so, yes

[@dkin]

P18!

[@adamweyland3269]

Well sorry but i will pick the L35... A press of the clicky n 5000grand will blast form that heck of a 🔦.... Absolutely luv the acebeam L35...i have no regrets buying it bro ...

[@flashlightcrazy]

It is my favourite Acebeam to this day

[@ShouldaWaved]

I may buy it today but you recommend that over the new 2.0 o. Their site? Thanks hey

[@MADHIKER777]

Too bad they didn't use XHP70.3 HI and 9050 CRI for the L35.

[@joseasf96]

It seems they just did for the 2.0

I own 4 throwers but they are just (expansive) toys, no real benefits. Ofc, this experience is for me, living in a city and not going in the wilderness. Yet i carry the smallest one, Lumintop GTA with me all the time outside my house. Oh crap, the smallest is the 5th, Lumintop GT Nano!
