really practical spill with long turbo n high mode runtime for what it is. thanks for the informative candela and cri chart, enjoy watching your vids as always.
@@DarrenYeoYT definitely useful for me, for example i wouldnt have bought the sofirn sc03 until i found out the lantern leds have high cri from your vid,which was the only source that i could get that piece of info from the entire internet. i found nobody mentioned it except you.
@@whiwhiwhiskyI'll keep including them. Yeah I was surprised they were high CRI. I have a ring light to light my desk when making reviews and they have the same SMD LEDs, just 100s of them and high CRI. Worth paying a bit extra for. Ok I thought of making a lumen tube but people seem cool with the general ceiling bounce tests, plus it's way less work 😅
The UI is kind of useless for a tactical light. I dont know why all the manufacturers dont get it and give their tactical lights the UI from Olight. Turbo and Strobe from the tailswitch and the other modes from the side switch.
Nextorch have that UI you describe too. For a 'proper' tactical UI, you can't beat it. I use this as a general EDC too so I don't mind as long as it can remember turbo. The hold to strobe won't get any use from me.
@@DarrenYeoYT Yes the Nextorch TA30 UI is even better. You can still use the T35 as edc but as edc its annoying to have to switch the tail button first. Here on a Olight Warrior you could just turn it on from the side switch. So the Olight UI makes it a better tactical and better edc light for me.
Awesome looking light, have been considering getting the Acebeam P16 for a while now but the larger diameter head put me off a bit. The T35 looks like it might be just about perfect for my needs with the slim profile but still having good throw.
Also didn't like that Acebeam prints "defender" on the P series lights. Has always put me off when manufacturers put things like "Defender, Striker or Tactical" on the actual light, always think it draws un-necessary attention or suggests it's use as a weapon. I feel the same way about overly aggressive bezel designs. This model seems to get that part right with just a model number and the bezel design looks functional but more conservative.
@@rothxvii5181 I appreciate subtle branding too. The quality of the product should speak for itself. Last thing you'd want is for this to be confiscated.. glass breaking beads are a great emergency feature though.
Have looked into this one a bit too, and also seems to be a good option. I don't know why some tactical lights use that glossy finish though, it's slippery!
Tough choice. But probably the PD35 V3.0 (I'm guessing that's the version you're talking about and not the previous one.. otherwise I'd pick the T35 over the V2).
@@DarrenYeoYT its a Facebook Gaw Win from Acebeam, I dont know wich one I will get, but I will post a review and some Beamshots on Facebook and TH-cam Channel. I like both but i would like to be the Black 6500K
And what do you think about Trustfire?i bought an 14500 light from them,the Ls2 pro,and its great Little One!i would like to buy the 18650 model t15r...please let me know something ,Darren,thanks from Italy.
I don't know much about trustfire, but they've been around in the past and their flashlight were initially terrible but are now getting better apparently. If you can get them for a good price, and reviews look fine, then worth a try. @@enricopietrac.5968
The T2 Tac would be a better option. I have the T2 and I didn't like the UI as the memory mode to turbo was slow if I remember correctly. So it'd flip to low if I turned it on and off too fast.
@@DarrenYeoYT yes, for me T2 og is ok...need 3 mode atleast.... And as far i can remember, this acebeam is like wurkkos td05....same ui i think...mybe different in runtime & performance....
nextorch ta-30c is still the absolute best tactical light ever. what i see in the t35 is just another tube light with a crap interface. nothing touches nextorch selector ring and two stage e-switch. the ta-30c is the only e-switch superior to even well tuned mechanical tail switches from weltool.
@@DarrenYeoYT yes the sst70 is green. it's a tac light, so that's forgivable imo. fwiw, i bought the p16 first, and i loved it, but those 2 additional millimeters of head diameter lead me to the ta30c. that said, i wasn't sold until i used the selector ring. man that thing is so dialed in. love it.

Thanks mate, I sometimes wonder if people find those charts useful. Takes a bit of time to put together!

As long as it memorizes turbo, It's tactical enough for me! :D And that sustain!
Yeah same here! I'm an everyday user but like to have turbo available quickly for self defence or lighting up a distant area quickly

I like the ui dual switch in olight but i dont like olight... 😆
The led they choose, the design....
@@GieszkanneThen I guess the Thrunite TN12 pro is for you.
M1, M2 (v1), & E75 got me hooked on Acebeam. Not sure if T35 is next, but it looks great.
Awesome looking light, have been considering getting the Acebeam P16 for a while now but the larger diameter head put me off a bit. The T35 looks like it might be just about perfect for my needs with the slim profile but still having good throw.
Yeah I think they got it right in this model, well for my purposes anyway. I'd rather a little less throw but still be able to carry it around easily.

Have you thought about checking out the thrunite tn12 pro? Its tailswitch is direct to turbo.
Have looked into this one a bit too, and also seems to be a good option. I don't know why some tactical lights use that glossy finish though, it's slippery!
I still have the wurkkos fc12 looks similar to it. Performance is close.
If the FC12 had a buck driver, it'd be perfect.
Acebeam and sst40. Love it.
Hey mate, it's an SFT40 :D
@DarrenYeoYT I thought you said sst 40....thats ok. Sft 40 is good too.
Oops I might have. @@jtwig9311
Darren, if you could only have one would it be this t354 or pd35 v2?? Thanks
Tough choice. But probably the PD35 V3.0 (I'm guessing that's the version you're talking about and not the previous one.. otherwise I'd pick the T35 over the V2).
Acebeam Quality ✌️✌️ Mine is on the way.
Awesome! Which one did you get? For some reason, my black version came with 5000K. Should be 6500K according to the website.
@@DarrenYeoYT its a Facebook Gaw Win from Acebeam, I dont know wich one I will get, but I will post a review and some Beamshots on Facebook and TH-cam Channel. I like both but i would like to be the Black 6500K
@@DarrenYeoYTGot it Today, its the Black one 6500K... Beautiful Light, I like it ✌️✌️😁😁
How hot does it get on turbo?
Hot but ok to hold down the battery tube. My Fenix PD35V3 gets insanely hot.
Nicely package and slim, but that beam pattern is quite ugly, like shining a light through the bottom of a glass bottle.
Looks smoother in real life, I had to bump up the ISO. But yeah it does have this brighter spill area around the centre hotspot.
Why only a 2600mAh battery?
No idea, 3000+ is standard these days
Sofirn has the best flashlights and prices. 😊
Them and Convoy. If you are going for budget ones.

Excellent runtime on Turbo for such a small head. And a good sustainable output on high. Acebeam in general has always been a good performer.
Yep, I notice they don't pump out different models every other week which probably helps.
Still preffered weltool T2

And as far i can remember, this acebeam is like wurkkos td05....same ui i think...mybe different in runtime & performance....
@@DarrenYeoYTI would prefer no memory mode on t2 and always starting with turbo or medium instead
IMO flux is very close to Wurkkos TD05.
Yes. Until it steps down I guess. I don't have the TD05 but guessing it has a FET driver.
T35 can one click for turbo or not.
Sort of. You need to set it to turbo first in the modes. Then it will remember it with the back switch (one step)
T35 can fast turbo or not

I just wish the TA30C had an SFT40. I'm tempted to swap in my 3000K sft40 there but not sure if it will focus properly with that reflector.

Doubt most professionals would choose an eswitch for a duty light. And some may prefer higher candela. But glad you found what you think is best 🍻
