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.

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.

Investment Alert! Investment Alert! These lights are going for 600 to 800 on Ebay now. I just looked. You have done such a straight forward review with plenty of see for yourself unbelievable comments about your reactions as you experienced them.. I could tell you were just as excited to have us share the WOW factor with you. Your regulation warnings and the cautions were helpful also. All just cementing the thought into our minds. I have to get this light while I still can. I want to get that "high" you had as you went along discovering test after test that kept building the excitement. I did buy it while your video was playing out.and can't wait to try it out. Reminds me of when I was shopping in the Base Exchange at Lackland AFB when they announced on the overhead speakers, "Just in Boot Camp Barbies, get over to toyland to get yours before they are gone! I bought 3 or 4 cases of them for less than 15 dollars per each. I sold all of them on Ebay quickly for 80 to 120 dollars using the auction choice. Lackland is the only Air Force Basic Training Base in the US. Thru the plastic window on the box you could see her in all her gear jump-stepping across two rows of tires on the ground. Decked out in Camo Fatigues and Combat boots every Barbie collector had to have one! I was more than happy to let them get their hands on one or more. I think anyone that buys one of these W30s and changes their mind can sell it quick if they want to at least get their money back mabe more even if you take it out of the box. Who here that gets one of these at MSRP is not going to show it off to people before they sell it or gift it. Uses for the average Joe flashlight?....me.......not so much. Bragging rights letting that guy who is always one upping you on flashlights feel the highest beam burn instead of you.........Priceless. I just thought of this..............there are not as many people out there in Ebay land that want this light or can afford the price I quoted they are going for on Ebay. Just the retail price is alot. Barbies that double or triple in price or more are more affordable to most anybody and the expensive lights are not.

@betterbsure5 жыл бұрын
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-tr2dh4xx6u5 жыл бұрын
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

I am curious as well as to how much eye damage this will actually do for self defense purposes at 5-10' , my wife walks the dogs at night and ld rather see her use this than the 9mm for defense if it is actually capable of immobilizing an attacker.
