Yes definitely like a different color other than black sometimes for my flashlights. Glad to see acebeam and other manufacturers offer this. And especially if you’re a collector
Well, I got the blue one of these. Genuinely incredible light. More candela and less lumens is actually a much better light, especially in this case. If you hold the side button while hitting the rear button, you can make it not turn on turbo every time. It does work for either low/medium/high memory if you do this. I honeslty may use this as a tactical flashlight, too. Certainly, the focused beam makes the moonlight mode actually useful. Having the light focused helps you actually see things with that 144 hour runtime. Thats pretty nuts. Honestly, the fact that the light has a good rechargable battery, works as a tac light, and can run off of AA batteries just fine really makes this one of my favorite lights. My Olights will likely sit around a lot as this actually makes my pocket and my car.
@@phil2082 yeah, the blue is my backup on the edc backpack, the orange stays in the car. The blue is the best compact thrower I have ever seen. As a thrower is a very specialized tool that is not so often needed in a edc context it is nice to have it very small and light. Agreed, a thrower can do much with little light if you just need to Illuminate a small area. Plus it can always turn floody with any diffusor - vice versa does not work. Also the blue one is ver tactically blindling with the right ui setting. It went off in my pocket and burnt me, lol
@wearandtear6692 Yeah, the light turning on in pocket is an issue solved usually with sensors or having the light pointing out of pocket. No fun there. I'll have mine on edc mode.
@@phil2082 I have it on a 360° rotational holster (NiteIze). Open at the bottom so no big issue there. Putting it into EDC mode contradicts any possible tactical use.
Beautiful orange color. I started replacing my black flashlights with orange ones. Easier to find around the job site. Have you had the chance to check out the Convoy t4?
I imagine you can use one 14500 and a 14500/AA dummy spacer. Got a couple from amazon. Getting my blue one in a couple days only $27 out the door also on amazon
@@wearandtear6692 This must be a joke (blue vs orange). They are exactly the same. 😅 *TAC 2AA* can do both modes regardless of its color. So yes, its _"programmable"._ Really, a quick look at the website and/or the manual before presenting/reviewing a product wouldn't hurt don’t you think so? 🙄
@Raziel_SSJ The blue one has a dedomed LED and a very different beam from the orange one which uses a domed LED. The blue version is a crazy aggressive thrower. Check out the beamshots.
For long term storage, very cold temperatures and as backup they are great - especially with lithium instead of alkaline chemistry! The format is nice too fore sure. You trade in runtime/brightness.
@@wearandtear6692 ah thatz not good; so i will buy some vartha lithiums [non rechargables coz i buyed this torch coz of that which can work with alkalines; but seems then with lithiums also but lower then 1,5 volts]; so thanks man the infos!
Those Varta are 1.5V Lithium batteries, they have the same voltage range as alkaline cells although they offer more capacity and hold the voltage more constant under load. They should me no problem. 14500 on the other hand look like AAs but would damage the light with their higher voltage of course. The Wurkkos WK05 does not have that limitation.
@@HunGyilok no, they are batteries and not rechargeable. They are a 1:1 replacement for alkaline AAs. But far, far superior in every way (way lighter, 2-4x more runtime, cold resistant, storage for many, many years, no leaking) and much more expensive. Perfect for any light that you have to store away for years or emergency critical applications. Those cells don't fail. I have a lotz of them at home and a few in the car, standard alkalines I use for lesser applications.

@@krapeevids6992 I am not a collector but I use lights a lot as I work night shifts. I really find anything high viz useful.

Yeah, blazing orange on my knives and lights is what I prefer these days! No, did not get around to Convoy in quite a while.

@@krapeevids6992 yes, good point. You can buy or build a dummy cell. It is about the voltage range.
8:18 this shots with varta or that acebeam batery?
You can change it to tactical mode so it always turns on to turbo.
@@sel6232 cool, its even programable then!

They Look pretty nice and useful, thiner than 18650 and 1,5volt batterys have dome bendfits over liion cells.
Since when you have a Thermalcam?

@@thesmith2327 since about one year or so. It is a nice tool.
If you ever need it for a project or so you can borrow it.
@@wearandtear6692 thx
i have 2 vapcell 1,2 v 2800mah NiMH batteries - those willl be good?
Likley. Except the lower voltage might lead to a diminished output.

@@wearandtear6692 so exists varta=-ithium non rechargable thanks! in fact the voltage matters as i see; not more than 1,7 must be? lower
@@wearandtear6692 i did a quick search and they realy say this; so letz see with warta liths thanks!
