🔦 Acebeam Ryder RX (Fidget toy?!)

[@danieljennagrouse]

I think it's worth highlighting that the sliding shell thing isn't good just for fidgeting but it also means you get an easily accessible tail switch while also being able to tail stand the light.

[@maxlvledc]

I missed this, but you are correct..it also dramatically helps with heat dissipation.

[@Rich_EDC]

Amazon right now has this to light for 29 and I just got one for my Cancun trip. As a do all but cheap enough I don't mind losing! 29 bucks! Now that's a deal

This is my new favourite 14500 flashlight. I currently have the Rainbow Stainless Outer-shelled version and I just love it. The included 14500 battery is fantastic, and the light also accepts my Vepcell 14500 H-10 1000 mAh cells. Performance-wise this light and my Sofrin SP10v3 with the Vepcell H-10 cells are pretty neck & neck, but this light has the tail switch which makes it my favourite for that fact... and because of the better runtime at night output. Both lights are great and you can go wrong with either... but I love this light's the tail switch, 2 walled construction and that beautiful LED, beam and temperature.

Wow great video ! I just got the stainless steel version ! Amazing Light !

[@gwashburn39]

I love Acebeam, They have really stepped up there lights. Olight is going in the opposite direction!

[@MBroam]

can you fully remove the inner light part by disassembling the clip part? If so it might be fun to anodize that titanium shell.

[@maxlvledc]

Yes!

[@MBroam]

@@maxlvledc I got mine Friday, the fidgetability is fantastic as is the light, now to anodize it! Thanks for reviewing it!

[@Director-M]

You gotta check out the Loop Gear SK01S LED/LEP. Giga fidget light right there, lol.

[@analogmatrix1442]

Can you turn the flashlight on then retract the switch to tail stand while on? If so versatility needs to be 4 out of 5 stars. Thank you for the review

[@maxlvledc]

hmmm, yes you can...but still a 3 imo. lots of tail switch flashlights can tailstand...

[@dandyer8351]

True but maybe not for this size edc torch ​@@maxlvledc

[@swe_nurse8121]

I have one, it's a fun toy and an average flashlight. Looks good, decent enough but sub-par to many other offerings. Taking it out of the "sleeve" gives you a fairly slim and nice 14500 flashlight in a pretty striking color. I haven't tried running it long and hot that way but I don't see why it would be a problem. This with Anduril or another UI would be great, as it stands I don't find myself reaching for it for daily use much even though it carries absolutely great. Still a good value I think and the fidget factor is pretty fun. What's that pouch? Looks practical.

[@maxlvledc]

Timestamp on the pouch?

[@CLCox-ur9ux]

I agree. I also have one. It's a fun fidget toy and mediocre as a light for the money.

[@DorkForge]

It's common to get the same style and capacity of battery as the RX with the Lumintop Tool AA. Looking forward to trying this light though.

[@maxlvledc]

Their battery is micro USB though

[@Penguun]

love the review style, only thing I would add would be a size comparison next to other 14500/AA batteries so we know it's overall size.

[@maxlvledc]

Ah! Good point

[@iambeef]

There's a lightning deal on Amazon today (1/21/23) that puts the Ti version at $37!

[@OSAbsolam]

I have this light. Yes its a great little light for the price. OH HELL YEAH !

What's a current top in that size category with rechargeable batteries?

Not sure I understand the question

@@maxlvledc I look for something that size in titanium and rechargeable batteries, all including package sort of deal.

This came in the going gear box this month right? Isnt the titanium like $200? So the aluminum is $40?? Thats not bad if that's true. I will say I'd like to see your titanium flashlight collection.

Still no review out on youtube about the AA Pokelit. Full click to switch modes is a no go for me. Have you ever tried to put a regular 14500 into the i5R?

[@maxlvledc]

Yes, it just runs at one mode at around 300ish lumens

[@Gieszkanne]

@@maxlvledc So it looses the low mode completly or is the low the same as high. This would be the same like with the streamlight. There I am not sure if I see any differnece in high/low with the 16340 or 14500.

[@maxlvledc]

@@Gieszkanne its not as high as the high mode of 350..its something like 300ish

[@Gieszkanne]

@@maxlvledc So you mean the Streamlight or Olight with now or both? My hope with the 2,4V 14500 of Olight was that it work with the Streamlight and give more lumen than the AA but keep the low 40 Lumen. But you wrote that it dont work in the the Streamlight

Bought bc of your video was on fence but solid video

Good flashlight, very nice battery, what would you recommend as a very tight budget pocket flashlight? I'm using chinese flashlights and thinking to ask for a decent one as a gift from my sister in UK....

Good light all around by that user interface is goofy IMO. Give it a two stage switch, turning off to turn it on again is a silly way to do it.

[@edcgearpocketknife]

These are better than olights i5t or even the I3t this light blows olight out of the water.
