You can use other brands, but I would get a cell with a higher discharge rating than that. If I'm not mistaken the obrtronic has an NCR18650B inside it which is rated at 4.87amp max continuous discharge. I'd get one rated for at least 8 amps continuous like LG18650MJ1 3500ma or Keeppower 3500ma which has a Sanyo NCR18650GA cell but is protected. They can both handle 10 amps.
AdventureSportFlashlights Do you have a particular supplier you like for the 18650 batteries? Seems like their are a lot of frauds online and I don't want to fall into the cheap battery trap.
Landon, I like illumn.com, I've never got a fake from them. Mountain electronics is good. When the GT is for sale batteries will also be offered along with it which I'm sure have been vetted by BLF.
Thank you for the link and the review. I just bought the l16 and it looks to be a solid buy. Going to use it as a duty light on patrol.
AdventureSportFlashlights hi, I'm looking for the most powerful flashlight I can get under $150 or close to it. I will mostly use it for spotting wildlife outdoors. the main distances will be from about 50m to as far as it will go I'm hoping to be able to make out a raccoon at 400m at least. i really don't need any flood lighting out of this light, mainly spotlighting. I don't need a super long battery life but above 30 minutes on high would be nice multiple power levels would be appreciated and something rechargeable would be great! any suggestions you could give me would be awesome!!
Preaching the AceBeam gospel. I just got the L30 Gen II. Love these lights. Really like your reviews!
It actually lit up the mountaintop near my house. I am very impressed!
I just got my L16 today ,all I can say is holy crap !! What a freight train of light ,I put it up against my top of the line stream light stinger I gave it to my wife ,it was your video that prompted me to get it thanks !!
I love Matt's videos. He is one of the best flashlight reviewers on TH-cam. I just wish that more flashlight reviewers would include the color rendering index in their videos.
I own the Nitecore P30. Your light looks good! The P30 has a 700 yard throw, I take it hunting with me. But your L16 looks legit when you light up the backyard. Thanks for the video post.
Thanks for the review I was having a hard time deciding you helped me figure it out and it just came in the mail I'm very excited =)
I enjoy your creativity and your enjoyment of a good light. You're fun to watch.
I just love it! My purchase was based on your review thanks 😊 side note I bought it to use when we go mountain biking at night 🌙 I'm more than happy with its performance =)
I just got the Acebeam,and tried it out with a diffuser from my Armytek Predator .Wow! Great dual purpose light now.Great flood and thrower.Only downside is that is hard to find the side switch by feel .
Matt i Never Saw anyone review any product in such detail, and Flawless brake down of product. At the very end , you left me thinking i couldn't live without this flashlight. Now only thing that's left is go get my credit card.
Soft and Smooth and a Good Tight Hot Spot.. ! Never heard a torch described that way before.! LOL
This is my favorite light so far for power. I also like the way the switches work its perfect. Think i might have to buy another one.
I have the L - 17 , amazing ! Thanks Matt for the video ! 🔦
Awesome torch, wow, great refreshing review style too, thumbs up and keep them coming..!!
Wow that's a nice flashlight! I want one! I have an Acebeam K40M and I love it! Acebeam is by far my favorite flashlight manufacturer! Even ordering spare parts was no problem at all!
The spare parts thing is good to know. With many brands I don't find that to be the case.
Seems like a nice light to me. Im not a to big fan of the thicker section behind the reflector i like the traditional look more als to hold. Great review!
Loving this vid. I run Klarus xt11 and love them just due to the tail cap,switch. This light I think I could give it a looksie. Nice review my may!
A voice a person could drown in :)
Very nice review. Very interesting light, last month I almost bought it but I switch it with l30 gen2 because the l16 has a to tight hotspot and less spill, instead the l30 can illuminate a wider area with a big hotspot and spill, unfortunately it doesn’t have the same throw but it’s fine.
Actually I love the output 4000 lumens of the l30 gen 2 and the tint neutral white 5000k of the led cree XHP 70.2
love your review, love the L16, it will be mine
I have the Thrunite catapult V6 and it's stronger than I thought it would be for a tiny flashlight...This catapult is a beast for sure!!!
Excellent review of the AceBeam L16, Great. Now I have to buy one and add it to my collection. Thumbs up and just subscribed. BLF member.
Glad I could help spend your money Doug.. As if any of us need help LOL!
It's 2020 and I still absolutely love my acebeam L16 and the k60 imo the best
Bought this the day it came out. It's a great flashlight. Excellent build quality, good ui and great throw. There's only one problem..I need more throw. I need 800 metres of throw in my pocket because idk tbh.
Love the music too in your review.!!
You're off the chain, subbed.
GREAT GREAT review! Keep them up!
Superb head movement.
thx. Buying this one
Thank you for the video! Great review! I like your opinions about the tactical features. The L16 seems to perfect with the tactical tail switch that always boots up the light in the max. output. I love that function. The beam distance with over 90000 is fascincating with that small reflector. I guess so far there is no newer light in the market which is similar (in tactical features and light output / beam distance) to the Acebeam L16. Or do you know one?
Nicely done video, I've recently started collecting high end flashlights, looks like a really good thrower for the size, just subbed
Welcome Otis.. and thank you for the feedback. I hope I can help you find excuses to buy more lights :)
AdventureSportFlashlights Lol, thanks for replying, you don't know my wife, 😰
everyone knows your wife, Otis Cobblepot. she throws something different entirely 😘
You do really great, indepth and informative reviews. Can you compare L16 with XT11GT?
Great reviews Matt, can you tell me which flashlight you will choose between L16 and L30 gen II. I cannot decide between this two, because I need also the throw of the L16 , can I choose L30 dedomed instead ?Thank you and keep up the good work!
dang dang dang!!!! now thats a winner lookes like ill b buyin one still waitin on s2r baton 2 to come in mail great videos man keep them comein
Excellent review! Love the music! I'm getting it right now! Thanks!
Thanks for the feedback Frank.
Frank Merfalen what's the name of the group I haven't been able to find it yet there's a whole lot of get backs
It's by silent partner. From the youtube free library.
very nice review. thanks!!
It is 20:22 and I actually own an ace beam l16 and it is one of the best lights I have ever owned it out does through night and olight. So good in fact that I keep one in my emergency jump bag and I ordered another one for every day Carrie they are really good lights little pricey but they're worth it very well built
I hope they will release a version 2 of this light someday.
Excellent review, in fact it motivated me to purchase a L16. I bought it from Amazon in Jan of 2020, retail box. Guess what? I did the Turbo step down test, at 5 min it did not step down by 5 Min 20 seconds it was so hot I could not hold it I had to oven mitts to turn it off.
Now imagine what happens when it turns on in your holster from the back tactical switch and you wonder what's that burning smell. Regret buying this thing. Dangerous.
if you cant hold it, its worthless, get rid of it.
Another great review.
Brilliant Matt! Now THIS is what I call a flashlight review. Until I saw this, I thought the only people who reviewed flaslights were morons. Thank you for restoring my faith.
#charlesbridgtec
from the Aliexpr which flashlight you could recomend? i look on 160 xhp and 360s byt i donno which is better [or at les to not be some weak lighter thig you know..]?
I agree all tactical lights should have instant access to turbo and strobe , that’s why I like klarus dual tail switches
I was wondering if you ever do headlamps I just got the Fenix hp30r and it is amazing! 1750 lumens "claimed" and it is very impressive on its run times as well
I got my supwilfire with 18x XM-L T6 LED and thats very bright
Nice acebeam L16 flashligt
Great review !
You truly know your stuff.
I’m on the fence, the Acebeam L16 or the L 30. What’s your thoughts on the best way to go.
What would be the best battery to pair with either. I’m used to using a Vander Ourdoor that I bought at a gun show. (A fragile light)
I GREATLY appreciate your knowledge !
Does the pocket/belt clip interfere with the hand grip..? It looks like it has a really small hand hold area.
Hi mate,
is it possible to put there AA battery? I'm not the biggest fan of the rechargeable battery coz sometimes in bush I just can't charge them
Great video, I made a flashlight that can melt the Acebeam :), tested at +2000m
Hi. Great video. I am looking at the Acebeams(16, 60,70)and Thrunight tn42, tn4a hi. I want agood mix of a long beam with decent flood. Also considering the imalent dn70. What do you suggest? Best. William
How is this flashlight compared to the Astrolux EC03 ? I can't decide. Both seem great.
I would love to hear your thoughts on the w30
Hey, Matt...nice review...
But, can you tell me how do you feel about the Side Switch touching? I've seen some review saying that it's hard to find the button, in the dark.
If would buy this flashlight, the Side Switch has to be very convenient and easy to use, I would be using almost like every day. I don't like switching through the modes using the tail button.
Do you know if Acebeam makes another flashlight with that Interphase in a smaller package, like 1 inch diameter pocket carry?
I have the T 21 ace beam , 2 cell , 1500 Lm , 1000 + meters , warm tint , l love it !!, I'd like to see the one you review compared to the KLARUS. XT 12 GT , awesome. Light !! Thank You!
Nice light!
I have acebeam l 16.. had it for about 2 years it is super bright.
However in the summertime you need an oven mitt to hold it after about 5 minutes LOL. Still overall an incredible light.
cook a hunk of meat with it then get rid of it.... the flashlight.
Many are complaining on how fast it gets hot. You don't need 2000 lumens all the time. The 150 lumens is enough for indoors while the 500 and 1000 lumens is also enough for outdoors. You will just need that 2000 lumens if it is self defense situation, you just need to view a longer range in a couple of minutes, or just doing beamshots with it. The 1000 lumens is almost half the throw of that 2000 lumens, you can still have a good distance and output.
Has the Acebeam W10 LEP 1000 Meter Throw been out long? I can't find an english review as of yet, but I'm going down a short list..
What are your thoughts on the ACEBEAM Ultra-Bright Tactical Flashlight L30 GEN Ⅱ with High 4000 Lumens,? If you had to choose between the Gen II and the L16 which would you choose and why? Thanks for the videos they are very helpful.
HEy, lads. There is a way to upgrade L16 to use 21700 (but only for those who also has L30) - just change body of L16 to one from L30 - they are interchangable. Its working.
Great review, hope your sweetheart isn'`t too jealous ...
hey Matt have you looked at the nitecore P30, it has more throw and is cheaper. also comes with holster.
Hello dear!) Yes, the flashlight is gorgeous ... But can you tell me what kind of wonder track is playing on the background?))
Matt, i do a lot of riding at night. Road riding, not trail.
Ive a pretty decent budget High output led light. Its commonly found on amazon as brighteyes. I know its not a great light, but it works well enough for what i use it for. The problem is that its not a self contained unit. The battery is seperate and connects with a wire. That has to be strapped to the bike as well. I also didnt trust the cells at the price i got them for with the light.
So i bought a different style light thats also a purpose built bicycle headlight but is a integral unit. Its the melian x1. Its not a amazingly high output but is nearly as bright as my other light thats advertised at nearly 10x the output. It runs on a integral 26650 pack (i think thats what it is at least.)
Its a light designed around eruo zone regs and is a surprisingly good light for the 25$ cost with lots of features.
However the first one malfunctioned and the seller has sent me a new one. While i like the light and the fact that its an all in one design and has some nice features, im not holding my breath on it being a long lasting light.
So, i was wondering if you could perhaps do a video or a series on bicycle specific lights primarily head lights but throwing some tail lights in there couldnt hurt.
Previously, i gave up on purpose built bike head lights and just got decent off the shelf flashlights for the time and used those as my headlights. I always found that more output and better battery life and features for the money could be obtained with flashlights over bike specific lights. This is starting to change so i would like to see your take on some good budget headlights for bicycles. Specifically bike mounted ones as i usually wear a helmet and dont really like having a light attached to it.
I am planning some bike light stuff. Not tail lights, but front end stuff for sure. I have two builds in mind. It will still be several weeks before I am able to get started on them though. Thanks for sharing BTW..
@@Lumencraft- hell yeah. You replied. I would love to give input if you want. Are you on facebook?
Yes, my facebook page is linked in the description. There is also a "contact us" from my shop which is linked above too :)
Acebeam is known for their filters. The hotspot was way way bigger than I expected. It's surprising it gets that much throw. It looks to be about the same head size as my XT12GT and it has the same numbers but the hotspot on the Klarus looks much smaller but it does have a bright corona that I don't like. It just seems odd that so many factors are kept the same between the two but the hotspot size is different but yet the throw numbers are the same. Must be in the reflector focusing/size/shape or something. Do you own one? Can you do a comparison? I was considering buying the L16 to replace my XT12GT but I'd like to see that it can really match the throw despite the larger hotspot. Sorry for the long post.
bought my klarus XT12GT from china market, only half the price compared to Acebeam L16, so these two shouldnt be compared directly considering the price. saw some vids showing Acebeam is slightly brighter than Klarus, though Klarus comes with the 3600mah panasonic cell kinda covers it up. along with only half the cost, those are the main reasons why i choose the XT12GT. For me i kinda like the paddle switch cos i always needed time to find the side switch in dark places (back in times while using old Fenix) and with all controls in one place i only need to use a single thumb for all operations. one thing though, the tactical ring is loose but good thing is it can be removed
I've seen many flashlights reviews, and this is, Overall, probably my favorite, and I'm considering buying it.
But, I'm concerned that there are many reviews on Amazon, of people complaining about the overheating of this flashlight, on Turbo mode, when even turned on for a few minutes.
It does get hot in turbo mode, I only go Turbo every now and then, I have no problem with it.
@@derek361
Thank you!
@han0509 Check out the ThruNite TC15. I have the desert tan version. It's micro USB rechargeable. It uses an XHP35 led. It's a side switch operation light, not a rear clicky switch. But a press and hold for 1 second gives you moonlight mode. Or one quick press gives you the last normal mode used (low, medium, high, it has a memory). Or a quick double press gives you turbo (2300 lumens) from either the off or on position. Turbo lasts for up to 2 minutes before thermal stepdown. Three modes available within 1 second. In normal mode, just press and hold to cycle through low, medium, and high. A quick press turns it off from any mode. A quick double press from turbo gives you strobe, or a press and hold takes you back to normal mode (low). Most of the complaints about the light are from user error. Like not having the head or tail tight, or not removing the insulating paper for the battery for shipping. I've never had a problem with mine. It comes with holster, charging cable, lanyard, spare O-rings, 3100mah battery, and pocket clip. It has a great mixed beam pattern of flood and throw. It doesn't have an electronic lockout, so I strongly recommend you slightly loosen the tail cap slightly for transporting it, especially if you put it in your pocket.
I forgot to mention you can get it on Amazon.
@han0509 I understand. This light is great for a nubie, even for an enthusiasts, but for someone in your profession, not so much. Had I known, I wouldn't have even recommended it. I would think Acebeam, Surefire, or Olight would have something to meet your needs. Thanks for your courage and service. It's more dangerous than ever out there. Try to be safe!
@han0509 lol Ya know, it's really sad ( for us) that you recognize that, but, at least to me, doesn't change what I said. When something terrible happens and everyone wants to run away from it, it's your job to do just the opposite for both the citizens and visitors of your country. So my thank you still stands. And if something happens at night, I want you to have a good light to deal with it. ( had to keep it on the topic of flashlights) lol
Hey Matt, What's your educational background with all this building you do? Excellent Videos!!!
Reading things on the internet and watching videos about how to do stuff for 10 years LOL :)
I suspect the treading inside the tactical bezel is to reduce light noise/artifacts in the outside of the beam. My astrolux ec01 has that issues. I'm no flashlight expert, I'm just trying to think logically about the design.
It seems like your C8 has a tighter focus, smaller hotspot, and that's why it's lux was higher. I don't remember your C8 specs, but I know a lot of folks can run a fet driver with an xpl hi and get around 1500 to 1600 lumen.
But, not both the throw and lumens like the brilliant Acebeam T16.
have you compared the l16 with nitecore p16?
for what purpose is lamp ionised?
That light looks as supple as a old gals hips. Gettin ol fred excited.
I like the way you speak
Great job! Thanks for this look. I'd love it if you could check, and see if a EC50 or 60 bezel will fit this thing? It's hard to tell for sure, watching this video on our TV, if it's the same size.
I don't have the 50/60 lights, but the head diameter is the same 40mm. I still haven't figured out what the threads on the inside of the bezel on this thing are for though.
Thanks.
Acebeam offers filter discs, that have outside threads on them, to screw to the inside of the bezel. They have Orange, Green, Red, and White Diffusers. That is one reason I asked about the size. By the looks of it, I thought they'd be pretty close to the same size. It's good that they planned this out, to be the same. So diffusers bought for one, will fit the other.
The EC50, and the EC60 are fantastic flashlights. As you may or may not know, I have a lot of flashlights. If I was asked to trim my collection down to only two flashlights. Those remaining, would both be Acebeams. The EC50, and the X45.
👍 I figured it was something like that but never did see any.. Thanks for the info.
I'd like to ask you a question; I'm in the US and I got one of these today from Amazon and the seller's name is Nitebeam. The box looks different, still kind of high end, but it had been re-sealed... The torch itself had a few fingerprints on it and the warranty card has no serial #; it's left blank to be filled-in. I assumed it would be a match between the card and the serial number on the torch... The battery had 3.84V at arrival and turbo mode worked out of the box. The Acebeam 3100 battery looks like it should but no manufacturing country is marked on it. I put the battery to cycle in my analyzer/charger and won't know more for about 6 hours about it. The box is orange and black... My question is: Should I be concerned about the authenticity of the product or is it normal not to have a serial number on the warranty card and no country of manufacturing on the supplied battery? Thank you; a quick answer will be very much appreciated since a return is pending upon it. Keep-up the great job with your revues!
Hey Dude. I lost the box for my L16, but looking at my K65, X45, and X85 I got the same warranty card. Just blank. I'm not sure if Nitebeam is a reseller or if that is the name Acebeam company uses on amazon... If I remember correctly Nitebeam is where I got my K65, and I have no reason to believe the light is anything but authentic. I too have got acebeams in boxes that were plain brown, and also some of them are printed in color. Not sure why.
Question...can you remove the anti roll “nut” if you want?
Yes
I agree, the beam is awesome! The only thing I don't like is the "antiroll" ring. Is it removable by any chance?
Yes, it very fortunately is. I always take those off too.
How does it compare to the Nitecore MH25s?
Not bad, not bad at all. 🤘👽
Amazing,can you modify it on a adjustable head band need one hands free
This would Be perfect for a rifle
Could this light be modded up to 50.2 3v?
Pls... compare Acebeam L16 vs Acebeam EC60 with TH-cam Video thks...
with Klarus XT12GT and modded C8!
I own the Acebeam L16, and what you said. I also own the Acebeam L30 Gen II and is even a more amazing flashlight than the L16.
Does the L 16 have a better throw than the L30 Gen II?
The Acebeam L16 and the Convoy L6 are both about the same price(around $100). So if you had to pick one, which would it be? Thanks
If price is the only consideration I would take the Convoy L6.
Really reaching 600m range? You could contact a UFO with this flashlight...amazing!
Mash meter not mile
O.o
how far the rreal throw sir?
Is it hard to get the batteries or do you have to go overseas to get them? I never heard of that battery before. I keep 2in the fact light A4 outside Terry with me out of civilization With no light at the perfect. White stuff crammed in my pocket anyways That case is going to be really good.
I'm going to buy this
How was it. I'm about to follow you up if it's good
@@AverageReviewsYT I didn't buy it, I bought the nightcore TM28 instead.
I was looking for another pocket light lol
@@AverageReviewsYT Yeah the nightcore is too bulky and overpriced.
Did you at least wait till after the review before you slept with the flashlight?
Sounds like to r going to make love to the flash light !!
Looks nice. As with all these new lights, how would you rate the durability? Say, compared to Surefire lights...?
Hi Bank it. Wear on this light should be decent. It claims to have Type III HA finish. I don't have any new surefires, but my older ones are Type III HA and still look pretty good. Also the warranty on surefires is impeccable, and time tested. Overall I expect this light to be quite durable though. I can find nothing that looks like a "weak point" at all.
I ordered mine 10 days ago, cant wait for it to get here. Acebeam is an American brand right? I think I heard somewhere theyre based in Texas. I just checked the tracking number and it says the package is arriving from Singapore. I dont get it.
Hi DesertStateInEu, On the box mine came in it says made in China. Super quality lights though.
Are the electronics potted?
Nice
have a sale coupon for acebeam flashlights fron banggood?!?!?
How long will the light shine with 2000 lumens ? I dont think that it will run that long like it says on the packaging
You mean like if whenever the turbo timer kicked in you shut it off and rebooted to the 2000 lumen right? I would say if your using a 3000 ma cell about a half hour or so before it's drained.
