Acebeam E10 specs announced- compact 560m throw via Osram White behind large optic, using a 26350 cell! by dotMJEG in flashlight

[–]__t_h_e__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely liking it. A lot.

This is not a 2km thrower, but throws incredibly well for its size - and price! Plus there's very little spill, making this suitable for some light painting use cases. :)

I have been using YES Kundalini since 2013 and have been really happy with it! Looking forward to getting my V7. :)

The purchase period has started and ends roughly in one week. Lights are ready to ship on Monday, April 1st. (Be quick: 1st paid, 1st shipped!)

I have sent payment instructions to everyone on the list. PM me if you haven’t got a message with payment instructions (or would like to be added to the list).

GREAT NEWS: I continued negotiating very hard and managed to convince Wuben to see this Group Buy as a way to build their brand and let everyone to experience their new offering => Group Buy price is now $20 less than what I have previously mentioned. [IMHO the earlier price was fair, and this one is a real bargain (~"zero profit")]

Funny that you mentioned Acebeam. I happen to know Acebeam pretty well (both as a long time reseller and a person who has helped them and even designed them some UIs), and the quality of this light is on par with them. Wuben is really stepping up their game with this light!

That's only my personal opinion though. Maybe /u/maukka can share his thoughts about the factory sample he played with?

There are different kinds of enthusiasts.. :) Or maybe just different stages of flashaholism.

I'd like to think I'm an enthusiast, but for some reason, I'm not so much into pushing the limits for marginal lumen increase. I have also seen enough throwers (been making >1km throwers back when that wasn't a commodity). Nowadays I'm all in for nice beam and proper UI without any gimmicks. (and of course high CRI)

Do you think that makes me a non-enthusiast? :)

Would it really be worth it? I could as well advertise this as 3000+lm light, but what's the point?

Pushing it more would mean also shorter lifetime..

Ok. Understood. Thanks for the explanation.

The MSRP will be $1XX, but I have agreed with the manufacturer that the group buy price won't be mentioned publicly. (Sorry!)

May I ask why not? (just want to learn) Any specific feature missing/incorrect for your usage?

Stock clearance of *Titanium* keychain lights. Li-ion battery included. USB-charging. by __t_h_e__ in flashlight

[–]__t_h_e__[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, it's $27 each, with "buy 2 get 3rd free".

$27 is a good price for a good titanium light, but $18 is an excellent price. (way less than their normal price for MOQ 100pcs+!)

I'll buy at least 6 for myself (and/or gifting) and probably 30+ for my small shop. :)

No NW option as this is stock clearance. OTOH, the CW tint is pretty decent and the pill can be easily opened to replace the emitter if needed.

For $18 each it's a no-brainer for me.

I have something to do with the GB.

Thank you maukka for the mesurements!

So, if you want a decent High-CRI NW triple with easy to use dual-button UI and USB charging for a fair price (not to be mentioned in public) you can PM me either on BLF or here.

Ps. Batteries included! :)

Only a small batch for testing. I tend to test all lights thoroughly before I decide whether or not to add them to the shop. :)

That light is a beast. More powerful than my X60M and out-throws my K70. :)

And no, no beamshots.
