NEW 80,000 lumen MONSTER! - AceBeam X75 full review

[@freddiejohnson8538]

Agree 100%, this is the finest light in its class. I work outside at night. Have happily used Thrunite TN50 for 3 years. Bought one of the Imalents with plastic shroud and fan, but it sits on a shelf (heats up too fast; not as bright as TN50 in use; 2 proprietary magnetic chargers are slow and a pain to use; heavy). Just got the X75 and it's a dream. UI is intuitive, charges super fast, weight is fine, body fits my holsters, no heat issue when using with bare hands, materials and build are excellent, beam is next-level. Note, capacity of the standard 4-cell battery pack is 4250 mAh, which isn't very large for use as a powerbank. An 8-cell battery pack is now available for this light.

[@Adair21]

Wow, what an amazing light and a very thorough review. This definitely moves to the top of my list for a lumen monster. Love the channel dude 😎

Thanks for the kind words! This light is definitely a keeper.

[@JF-ec5fi]

[@rayoflight62]

Great review. The X75 is a perfect balance of size, brightness, and runtime. And it is very cleverly engineered. Greetings, Anthony

[@Arjen511]

I've been watching your videos for a while now, and I really enjoy them. One thing that I often wonder is... do your neighbors know that you're a flashlight enthusiast? I suppose they eventually learned, lol. Great review btw, as always!

[@cheule]

I actually get this question fairly often. I am on speaking terms with all my neighbors, and yes-they know I review flashlights!

[@vikj85]

Awesome review btw, I actually own the Imalent MS12 and i kinda regret buying it for its lack of features comparing to the X75 and mainly for not having a handle because it get extremely hot to the touch even though the MS12 is brighter in the first few seconds than the X75. Question, im looking for a thrower light so do you recommend the Nitecore TM39 Lite? Thanks.

[@cheule]

I have not had my hands on a Nite Orr TM39 Lite yet. But this might be of interest to you; I have a Imalent MS12 mini arriving today. I will definitely compare it to the X75. I’ll try to mention if you are an existing MS12 owner would it be worth selling the MS12 mini to get an X75. Please allow a few days for the review.

[@chenbella8473]

Great review,-Cheule. The X75 is used the Step-up (Boost) LED driver.

[@MrMusashiMusashi]

Would you say this is a significant upgrade from from the x70? Is the battery pack serviceable at all? Would hate to lose function cause the cells degrade over time.

[@cheule]

I think the X75 is excellent light, and an advancement over the X70. But how much so, is debatable. The X70 is excellent, and very high output. But the X75 has the integrated heatsink and fan system. The battery pack is not “user serviceable.” Perhaps where there is a will, there’s a way, but it won’t be simple.

[@DizzyRonson]

if you are in an cold/arctic enviroment with this, then you will probably get condensation and thus ice locking up the fan. in that situation the easy access to "wind/no wind" mode is a great feature to not damage/burn out the fan. if its cold enough you might not need the fan at all and can conserve power that way. looks to be a well thought out design

[@cheule]

I hadn’t considered that!

[@BullstrongDVM]

Excellent review, honest and informative. That's why I always come here first when looking for a review. Acebeam seems to have really thought this one out and improved the X50.

k75 is large, but lightweight. It also has the best candela, which is key for blinding people.

[@MADHIKER777]

Impressive flashlight on every way! I would love to see runtime graph showing how long it can hold a steady 5,000 lumens, or how many lumens it can sustain for about 2 hours. Exceptional job on the video as well.

[@kniveslayer]

Im thinking also of buying a good flashlight but i dont know whch onw to chose, whcih you can recommend between imalent ms18, imalent sr32, or acebeam x-75? Your recommendation is much appreciated, thanks

[@cheule]

The cooling system on the X75 is stellar. That’s my pick.

[@kniveslayer]

@@cheule thanks bro!

[@christamu2]

Excellent video. I just received the X75 and it's a fantastic lumen monster. Putting it head to head against the MS12 Mini they are both so bright it's honestly hard to tell the difference. The cooling system is better on the X75 though and the quality is higher although the Mini is substantially smaller. They are both great lights.

[@cheule]

This is great feedback; and supports what I was already thinking. Thanks for the confirmation!

[@cheule]

Update: just received the MS12 mini in 6500K. Full review soon. I’ll tease you with, initial testing shows the X75 (even in 5000K) is brighter and have much better sustain.

[@TheBladeX10]

Thanks for making it clear. Means anybody who buys it, won't get what's paid for. it doesn't have actual 80K lumens max 👍🏻. I wasn't thinking that would be possible on relatively small light like X75. Also for only x12 XHP 70.2 no way. To get real 80K lumens, it needs to have like 15+ XHP 70.2 emitters. All though IMALENT made it way more better on their's MS18. With 18 emitters it can reach to around 90 to 95K of lumens which is more close to claimed real lumens. In the end Acebeam made it way better size wise. The X75 is significantly smaller and having almost 80K lumens, i think it's overally better than the MS18. 👌🏻. This would be my main purchase decision. As small as possible, but as powerful as it can get. Also i guess that the output difference between the MS18 and X75 is minimal, to a bare eye. Definitely for me Acebeam is a winner here.

[@corleonemichael21]

How much is it sir and where did you buy it from?

[@silverpro8356]

A lot of the imalent lights i have heard also use something called PWM (Pulse width modulation) which can cause a lot of eyestrain and headaches in about 50% of the pupulation where as Acebeam do not use PWM so its a better light in turn.

[@fredio54]

I may buy this in future or a similar model for marine use. Dry marine use, but lighting up buoys and rocks and other boats while navigating tricky tight situations.

[@flashlighttestsandotherthings]

I'm sure you've noticed by now that the 5000k model is advertised as 67,000 lumens and not 80,000, which is really impressive because it came extremely close to that in your test!

[@95993harpo]

Actually the 5000K is 75,000 lumens and the 70.3 emitters are advertised as 67,000 lumens.

[@johnmpifer]

@Cheules Flashlight Reviews Nice job. We just bought a house on 1.1 acres in a relatively rural area and I’d love to have one of these to turn it into daylight at night. But I don’t want to spend $400+! Is there a budget/value option you’d recommend that would maybe offer 75% of the performance of this, at, maybe, 50% or less of the cost?

[@cheule]

Unfortunately the X50 (which is 75%) the performance is also 90% the price. I think maybe you’ll need to drop to the Sofirn Sp36 tier, which is 30% the performance, but 5% the price - kzbin.info/www/bejne/fpyUaGp8j6hpg7s Actually, the more I think about it, you’re probably a candidate for this brand new light that will release on the 22nd of this month: Marauder Mini by Olight, never choose flood or throw again! kzbin.info/www/bejne/nqLXc4V9h813g8U

They make this like in a 6500k and a 5000k version. Would you say the 6500k has a bluish tint and the 5000k is more "white"?

[@cheule]

I felt the same way, but I sold my X50 to help fund this.

[@FollowRevolutionNine]

Thank you for the super in depth review! I was looking on their website, and got a little confused as to which one is better. Since I'm not looking for the throw version, I'm left with the normal 12x CREE XHP70.2 LED 6500K MAX 80,000 Lumens and the 12x CREE XHP70.2 LED 5000K MAX 75,000 Lumens [+$30.00] versions. It may be user error, but I'm not seeing any descriptions going over the differences between the two and why one option is more expensive than the other. Do you know which one is supposed to be better? Or how they differ?

[@cheule]

I strongly recommend the 5000K XHP70.2 version. That is the version in my review.

[@SkyBalkan]

The first big review for X75,congratulations! Do you have chart,lumen numbers vs minutes it can hold? Did you tested it,under the water? How they claim 80000 lumens,have better testing equipment or? Can it be used,just for USB power bank,but without full body,just battery pack?

[@cheule]

These are excellent questions. I don’t have any runtime data. I’m sorry but runtime is something I just have never done (mostly because it’s not a huge factor in my head). I never test ANY of my lights underwater. Many lights that should be ok, actually fail. I treat all my lights as “water resistant.” Im fairly certain the power bank feature works with the battery disconnected. I have not tested yet, but will tonight.

[@SkyBalkan]

@@cheule Thanks for the speed answer.👌 -Runtime is important ,because Turbo mod last only in seconds or 1 or 2 minutes.It is not important at all.Important is step down mod,which can last min 10 minutes or more.Please,can you check which step down mode under the Turbo, can hold more then 10 min and its lumens output. -Acebeam have some video from factory testing, under the water,if you have courage,can test it😊. -After which time, the turbo mode can be activated again? -It's a pity, that Acebeam do not have some small dedicated bag option, for the flashlight,where you can put spare battery pack,spare fan,screwdriver,rubber protection ,USB cable and power adapter.

I believe that the light will negotiate the charging speed with the charger. You should be fine.

[@Raymond-Wu]

Any clue how long it takes to cool down after you did heat testing on it? Super awesome that the fan stays on afterwards!

[@cheule]

I sort of answered this to your other comment, but this light cools VERY well. The best I’ve ever seen. I’ve run it on turbo for 10 minutes before, and the body was still cool. The MS12 mini, by comparison was too hot to hold after 30s.

[@JohnDoe-vj9wn]

Awesome review! AceBeam needs to make a 20-24 xhp 70.2 monster and steal the crown from MS18.

[@cheule]

Here’s a secret; I haven’t tested a MS18 yet, but I have a sneaking suspicion that after 30s, the AceBeam is more lumens.

[@Eutzyrc]

What is the color temp on the 219b you showed? The tint looked beautiful. What’s your overall favorite emitter for general purpose edc?

[@cheule]

Nichia 219b sw45k, 4500K CCT and very rosy. It's a perennial favorite. Before the new 519A emitter, it was "the best" you could get. I still like it a lot, especially if you want a domed emitter. It's the only consistently rosy dimmed emitter in 3535 format.

Awesome review, -Cheule-. I've liked Acebeam for a while, they're one of just a handful of manufacturers that even try to walk both sides of the Enthusiast / Mainstream user road. This light is a really solid example of them figuring out what works for both. User serviceability is always important to enthusiasts, but with the amount of juice in these cells I'm comfortable with their decision... But then to put some salve on the round with the serviceable fan is an awesome touch! I appreciate your work and I'm itching so much to pull the trigger on this one and get myself in a bunch of trouble.

29:10 well the 70.3s HI will look brighter in most outdoor scenarios, there are a few comparison videos on youtube. Also better tint imo. its an obvious choice unless you want to save 40 bucks 80000 lumens will not really look brighter than 67000 lumens, even if the candela is the same and with the much more focused beam of the 70.3s, they will probably look brighter, the videos and beamshots confirm that

Remember that high CRI emitters like 70.3 almost always look nicer on video, but especially with Cree, tend to look worse than their rosy 70.2 counterparts.

[@mikeenslin3009]

@@cheule well yeah sure, it's probably subjective but I never liked the 5000k look on the 70.2s or even the 6500k on my X50. There was just kind of a mix of white and yellow in the beam, when I got the mk38 with Sft40 I actually preffered that because it seemed just more pure white and with no other colors in it. Maybe I just got unlucky in the tint lottery but the 70.3 still looks like a better choice to me. Unless you want 5000k of course.

Thanks for the kind words! Regarding low measurement: This may be, I am using amateur equipment for testing. What is important, however, is it’s double the lumens of the MK38. The link you provided is to a mk38 with 6500K. Mine is 5000K. He got 38,000 at turn on, and I believe I got 30,000k in my last video.

WONDERFUL review. Acebeam > Imalent I just sold my MS18 mini from imalent, it was the "warmer" variant model and was very happy with the XHP 70_2 color tint for a performance light- absolutely demolishes the color tint quality from my old junk DX80, that flashlight threw some serious lumens in its day when it was working. Having a few Imalent flashlights in my hands now, I can confidently say that they just don't have much QC or care in their products meeting their marketing claims. The MS18 Mini looked and felt great in my hand, very high quality finish but the extremely whine-ey fans with only one speed even in lower output modes was off putting. The X50 and X50 II from Acebeam make way more sense to not include active cooling at all as the tiny loud fans on the MS18 mini don't do anything at all in the small but powerful category right now, the imalent method is awful cooling design. The lack of any actual gasket of the rear charging port totally blew the claims of their IP rating out of the water. Imalent's lack of bothering with USB C PD support is super lame. While the MS18 Mini was impressive for what it was, it's not worth the money for an unfinished product. I do not recommend imalents products if you're striving for something that feels well-rounded and "complete."
