I’ve carried this light for almost a year now, I love it. My only complaint is that I feel it would greatly benefit from a little more candela
Flashlight will never be the sun dude
@@felixlechat1780 I don’t need the sun. So your comment is pretty useless. But thanks!
@@PartyTurkey77 most people do not understand Edc to stick up for you everyones Edc needs is different
I Edc the Imalent rs50 25k lums give it a go
@@felixlechat1780 more candela means you can light farther. It's different from more lumens.
That spiral with the recessed blue does look really good. I like that it has a crazy low 1 lumen moonlight mode too. The turbo is a bit much though lol. It would be great for search and rescue since you'd be lighting things up like the sun.
Good review and explanation of this light.
I just ordered one, but chose the 4500K high CRI version. Significantly lower output but still good. I very much appreciate a more natural tint, more pleasant for the eyes.
And yes, the design is really cool!
This one is perfect for me to substitute my old Olight M22 EDC and it can fit in the Olight pouch with no problem at all.
I don't have a ACEBEAM E70. But I have watched several reviews on it as I am in the market for a new flashlight. Its a flooder (seems like a great flooder) not a thrower, from what I can tell its only throwing useful light a little less than half the distance listed. Most light fall short of throwing useful light to anywhere near the distance listed. But this one really seems to be falling short by quite a bit. I will keep looking but its becoming apparent to me that its going to be tough to find a quality flashlight in this lumen class with a good combo beam with features for under $100.
There are so many great choices out there but finding one under 100 could be tough
As an edc, can do but chunky in the pocket, agree with you, a slimmer light and 1500 lumens is nice to edc. The Amutorch SD2 has the same dimensions as this Acebeam, so can edc but bulky.
yea man, ordering mine this week, u.s. marine vet here , it has the fastest u.i. of any light out there 100% guranteed ! , goona love it , love the vid. too, keep em coming , THANKS > tom !
Thanks review, i just order 3 acebeam e70, aluminium, copper and brass.but i still love my olight m2r pro worrior.
I like that the belt clip is screwed on, ones that clip on tend to come off. I do see all those slots as dirt collectors, so keeping the unit clean will take a lot of work. Glad it has a tail switch! So many are going with side switches, and if you use a light a lot, you will know how annoying those can be! If it was 29.95, I would buy one. But right now, just the light is going for 65.00 at battery junction, and you can get 5000k or 6500k.
Really appreciate you putting the tech specs in the description great job on the video
Thanks!
It's very floody, which I prefer for EDC. Also the 21700 battery is tough to burn through in one night. Plus the double click to activate means you can carry this however you want without accidental activation. As far as your negatives, it seems like the Acebeam L35 fits more what you'd prefer (more throw, instant access to turbo, etc).
My negatives: No holster included (but the T36 holster works great). Also if you don't use the Acebeam battery, a flat top 40t will not work without a few magnets to extend the length a little.
I included the throw as a negative because I just didn’t see the advertised throw distance in my beam tests.
Otherwise that wouldn’t have been a huge deal for me.
Yeah, you were being thorough. Just looking at the emitter and reflector I knew this was just going to belch out a wall of light, and that's what I wanted, so I wasn't disappointed by the beam. But it was right for you to mention that it didn't hit the claimed marks.
@@Buapo It's not that it doesn't hit the claimed marks. It's that it doesn't even come close.
@@ayokay123 there's also a big difference between the actual distance of a beam versus what our eyes perceive. I've read that a good rule is to take the claimed throw, and cut it in half - at that distance, we will perceive the light to be hitting the target in a way that we feel illuminates it properly.
Regardless, I've read a few reviews that found it to hit the claimed throw in their tests (Zeroair is one example). That's not a dig on Chris, but it's worth mentioning.
@@Buapo Great advice. Thanks!
It's absolutely beautiful design the color the blue the black the bezel looks like it's a good tactical for protection against Intruders I think Ace beam made a very nice flashlight there's such a great company I have all their flashlights I love this light 🏆
I don't think it's that big a flashlight but it needs more throw. The best thing is that rear switch. Hard to find a side switch in the dark. I also like the 21700 battery lights as i own an if22a sofirn using that battery. That has been my every day carry.
Thanks for the review. It would be nice to hear/read the numbers in metric and Celsius too.
Any one know if this light will take the Samsung 21700 50E Protected Button-top Cells?
I actually love the flood-like beam profile of this light making it perfect for night-time forest activities, hiking and other close and mid-range needs... great urban and suburban flashlight as well.
Now if only it will take those Samsung 50E Protected Button-top Cells???
I have been considering this flashlight for a while as one to keep in my bag, I have a much much much smaller rovyvon aurora that I use as my edc light but I would like a larger light with longer battery life for camping and hiking and stuff. the fact that it didn't throw the light super far is disappointing and does not line up with their claims at all but other than that it checks all the boxes I'm looking for and seems like a good option.
If they came out with one in a spot version I'd like it. It doesn't appear to be that big for the pocket tho i don't know about weight? I'll stick with my Sorfirm f22a,. It feels fine in my pocket and it gets down range. Its well balanced and you can charge with the battery left in and the light can charge a phone. It isn't perfect but it's a keeper, tho i do prefer a rear switch best..
I wonder about the heat dissipation on high.. glad he tests this THX!
Does this flashlight use custom battery? Can we use regular 21700 battery?
I do HVAC,this would be great for working indoors because of it’s flood.I’m getting one for sure.
Very nice flashlight. It only lacks more candela and gets too hot.
There're other options with 1500 to 2000 lm with more output
Never seen your review but this is really damn nice 😁 very good edits on there
I've got the light mainly for its flood and hi cap batt 🦇
The output is good enough for me the 1300lm sustained is perfect for a edc. Really happy with it, and it's not that expensive..
But this is better indoors, I work with heating systems and it Wil light up a complete room when you set it upright 😊
So for me it does the trick, for outdoors I got my k30, same led but way better trow and way less spill on the beam
The Acebeam T36 is still a win if I'm carrying a light this size. I have the E70 and I'm sad to see the lack of throw. I agree... Should be around 700 ft and it is more like 100 ft of reach. Rarely do I need 4,700 Lumen directly where I am stepping! I need throw to check property lines at night. Another light I have on the way for throw is the Noctigon KR1 with W2 emitter.
Thanks for the video and your honesty!
Agreed. This is a decent floodlight. But the advertised throw might be embellished a bit.
@@ChrispyThings, so far I've only done an "initial impression" video of my E70. . . My last comment should give an idea of how the "followup" video will go! 😆
for EDC i only Carry Lumintop Tool AA with 850mah 14500 battery, its only 650 lumens and throw 130 meters but its enough for EDC. also you could use AA battery witch is easily to find everywhere.
Man, that thing looks awesome !
Please include the temp: 6500k vs 5000k. Thank you.
What is the best direct to turbo pocket flashlight you recommend and what is your favorite flashlight at the moment? Thanks love the content!
It's short but a really nice review I'm impressed ...Keep up the good work 👏
Hey buddy another great video you're making thank you 👍
Is there any amazon soft holsters for this
Great review. Really well done.
I have the Olight Seeker 2 that looks like a similar size. I everyday carry it, but on my belt. I have a good leather gun belt so I don't even feel it.
lovely honest review man. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻. love from Malaysia
Thanks!
Great review, I take the metric distances with a pinch of salt. I always convert meters to feet. You can usually get feel for how it’s going to shine by reading the candela rating. I agree with you, it’s too big for EDC really, but it’s up to the customer to decide. You’ve got a new subscriber. PT
Thank you!
No you're right it didn't light up the trees in the background and right there puts up a red flag for me
Just got a sofirn sc31 pro Aul. So far I love it. Great little light
Finally, someone review it 🙌
Acebeam seems to be fairly popular but unfortunately I had a horrible experience dealing with them 😕
Bad customer service experience?
If I may ask Matt. What happened?
What is your smaller, 1600 lumen everyday carry that you refer to?
Fenix LD30
@@ChrispyThings Thanks!
Is there a instant on light press or hard press feature for the tail switch or if it's not default like that can it be adjusted so it is? Have you checked that?
It's just how he said it is, you can go to tuurbo faster if you leave moonlight on 😂 3 clicks instead of 4
Awesome review.
Thanks!
Zebralight sc700d > e70
Better quality, durability, form factor, potted electronics, and equal performance. USA company though not made in USA.
I have the SC700Fd, and it's nice overall, but the intervals between med/high suck. Med 1 and Med 2 in particular are both too dim. There's a HUGE gap between 186 lumens on Med 1 and 1414 lumens on H2, the next step up. In other words, Med is too dim, and the next level is too bright, and there's nothing you can do about it. There should be something in the 400-700 lumen range IMO.
@@nicodimus2222 in factory default, the Group 5, H2 level is 916, and M2 level is 24; (in H2, M2 and L2 they use the middle level of the 3 available). You can change and raise your M2 to 50 lumens. In G6 and G7, you can set the 6 levels however you want. You can set M1 to 565 and M2 to 182 or whatever level of the 12 available. All 6 levels can be the same, whatever.
how long turbo before stepdown? cant be that long before its burning hot.
That info is in this video. But long story short…30 seconds.
Got the Olight perun 2 (2500 lumen) about the same size and probably weight with two way removable pocket clip, 90* head on it, side switch access to turbo and moonlight, I love it great torch.
i sold my perun2, doesn't throw out the light far enough. 2500 lumens didn't last long before set down. i was disappointed. plus to heavy as a headlamp
I have the Olight light laser combo (Baldor Pro) on two guns. The light it puts out for the size is impressive, if you can temporally blind em you may not have to shoot em, at least they can't see to shoot back. In all the crime videos I watch on YT I'm yet to see a bad guy with a light or laser on his gun so I put em on mine.
This really is a beautiful design!
I feel this is in an awkward state in terms of size. It's small for how bright it is, but you don't need 4600 lms on EDC. They could have make it bigger to perform better and it wouldn't change much.
BTW
I like your videos a lot. The "structure" is great, I hope you understand what I mean since I can't come up with a better word 😅
Agreed about the size vs lumens.
It’s marketed as an everyday carry. But for me personally it’s just a little too large.
I’d be happier with half the lumens, at half the size. But then it’d be an entirely different light so I get it.
I also know some people don’t mind the size and would be perfectly happy with this light.
Also thanks for the compliment. I appreciate it.
Interesting design. If this flashlight has a 6500CK light color, it will be more interesting. In my opinion, this lamp should have a reflector part to make it smooth for LongThrow from 240 meters to 380 meters. I prefer this flashlight Tight beam Long Throw and there is a little Flood.
Just a question, will a Samsung 40T work on this E70?
yes it does!
wow, i like this review
Thanks!
Try the ss version. it's not hotter then the alu version.
Based on the video my tribute TT20 is actually brighter than the e70
Is it normal with a step-down so early even though the head was only 49℃?
It’s very common yes.
@@ChrispyThings 49℃ doesn't seem that high, is the internal heat sensors a bit sensitive. The electronics and the battery cant be in any harm with such low temperatures? If you turn on the turbo shortly after the first step-down, does it instantly turn back to high?
It won’t go back to turbo until it cools down.
@@silversurfer8818 Anduril surely has its advantages with regulations
It's better if the strobe is also on 4600 lumens.
God focus on the details. Just a reminder, Acebeam does CNC services for companies, thus, these designs are completely in their wheelhouse.
I just remove my striker didn't realized the glass is missing and im lucky to find the glass that sucks my reflector now blurry i hate this light
Double press to just switch it on? No thanks.
Well.
I received mine.
I am disappointed at the fact that it's a flood style.
This is a good flashlight for search and rescue type.
Covers a wide area.
I do like this flashlight though.
I love spot light types.
When in comes to edc you cant say its not in edc light ! Everyones edc needs is different items for there day to day adventures!
Complete sentences are important.
@@ChrispyThings my life is to busy for that sometimes so i short text !
@@ChrispyThings welcome to the life of a professional multitasker !
Is this a Beam Style or a Flood Style?
Did you see my beam shots?
@@ChrispyThings I asked the question then watched the video.
I know it was ass backwards on my part.
Lol.
Thats going to be my newest to my small collection.
if I could disassemble it without power tools, I wouldn't worry about dirt getting in the design.
Looks Cool, Sounds Cool, but I'll stick to my Olight!!!
Pretty weak for 4600 lumen
That's not the E70. It's the E70-AL.
That's not a Honda Accord. It's the Honda Accord EX.
Yes sorry slight oversight when I was doing the title and tn.
I’m aware it’s the AL👍🏻
@@ChrispyThings Does it have a lanyard hole?
@@AlrekArinbjorn yes it does, but a bit of a hassle to put it on and off, non the less its alright.
The throw was pretty sucky. Didn't seem like 4,600 lumens at all.
Nice flashlight but U forget how much on it
How much on it?
Do you mean the price? I put the price in the title when I introduce what I’m reviewing in every video. Thanks.
Anyone claiming a 21700 light is a good size for EDC, Is in my opinion making up for something else in their pants. A 21700 light while great for run time, is frankly just too big and cumbersome for every day carry for a pocket.
