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!

[@50kArchipelagos]

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.

FINALLY!!! A tactical light for your sniper rifle!!! Lol!

[@fredsilvers1427]

You really could. The enemy would be blinded as well.

[@The570Experience]

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

Great comparisons, I appreciate that you took the time for showing subjective POV's of the light from the business end.

[@jmathena9094]

Great video. Thank you for taking the time to really show us

[@sergitorres8158]

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!

[@ThPappas]

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?

[@darkspeed62]

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.

[@hawaiianstylen]

Love the videos!! Keep up the great work.

[@brandonknight7240]

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

Nice video and flashlight. What camera did you use to zoom in on at 15:00 AMAZING ZOOM CLARITY ??

[@neckstumping]

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.

[@scannerguy1968]

Next vid when I compare it to the tn42 I'll do that.

[@exil3dlivecom]

Thought the same. That was the cream of the crop shot. And didn't do it.

[@user-tr2dh4xx6u]

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!!!

[@randyhelgeson1254]

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?

[@Gadgetdad007]

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 ?

[@nuuwnhuus]

Cool white to blue is always perceived as brighter and is closer to what the retina cells in your eyes can process during nighttime.

[@lawnmower9238]

please compare the beam shots with the astrolux mf04.

[@nna00100]

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

[@quedecree]

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.

[@scannerguy1968]

You can see it pretty decent. Doesn't stand out tho

I was very interested then, and have been eagerly waiting for it to pop up.

[@Klayking]

Can you mount a scope on this? :D

[@unknown-lr4tx]

This flashlight is amazing.

[@betterbsure]

Whilst this is a tremendous light for a fun factor, as a useful light probably not so. Close-up use the beam is too small and the spot too bright so washes out any detail that you are looking at, distance use the object that you are looking at would be too far away so same problem. I think this would be great for signalling to someone your position if stranded either at sea or in the wilderness so that you could get assistance if needed, but WOW...what a fun light to play with. A responsible head is perhaps needed when handling such an extreme beam, just the same as with a high powered laser. So would I personally want one? HELL YEAH!!! :))

[@user-tr2dh4xx6u]

Not for $250... its classified as a class 3 laser lmfao. If they made a diffuser cap and slimmer profile then i would probably buy this. I really hate flashlights with a massive head and slim body, they might as well have just put 26650s in or six 18650s. The throw is amazing but i dont like the design, if they could somehow make it thinner and changed the lame battery then i would buy it for $300

[@betterbsure]

@@user-tr2dh4xx6u Yeah, that's a good point, it's currently on offer for just over £200 in the UK. I was just about to pull the trigger on it but decided on the Thrunite TN42 for £138 instead, I think as other manufacturers explore this technology we will start to see some amazing products being made available. Getting better and perhaps cheaper!

[@TheExplosiveGuy]

Actually, you'd be surprised. Just point it at the ceiling (granted this only works indoors) to light up the whole room. Diffuse lighting...

[@betterbsure]

@@TheExplosiveGuy Yes I can see how that would be used to good effect, but it kinda defeats the purpose for which it was created. i.e. a thrower! :))

[@TheRealFOSFOR]

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.

[@scannerguy1968]

Lol. Someone beat you to it.

[@nighthawkrandy]

Thanks a lot great review

[@oceanhouse8080]

So the blue laser light that's escaping is not eye safe.....refractions from this light could contain actually coherent laser light which is very destructive to the retina

[@TheExplosiveGuy]

You are correct, I just verified this with a spectrometer. Laser leakage is in excess of 5mW, which us probably where the class 3B rating comes from. All things considered that's really not much considering the pump diode outputs 12 watts... but still, be careful.

[@luisantoniomarrega1120]

It's impressive. But the beam seems to be too fine and narrow to have it useful for any practical purpose. Now i can understand why afficionados would want this flashlight of this sort, but for the average person i cannot see a practical use

[@williamnunn8847]

I can't see a practical use as the beam angle is so narrow. aside from SOS or morse code signalling.

This is a very nice flashlight but it has very little spill so if you are doing a quick look around because you heard something, this is not the tool.
