number five Noctigon 6,700 lumens number

lumens number two Acebeam X45 18,000 lumens number one acebeam X45 25,000
lumens it is a good day to be flashaholic
if multi light comparisons like this are something you enjoy be sure to hit that
like button and I'll do more Noctigon meteor and oldie but goodie still the
smallest of our top-five best and the light that sparked the pop can
revolution in my opinion down the barrel we have 12 Cree xpg2 LEDs and four Carlo
optics there's also newer options available in
this light producing up to 7,450 lumens the Thrunite TN36 2017 an
excellent build quality down the barrel my favorite part we have our three Cree
XHP70 LEDs surrounded by a chromed aluminum reflector and a brushed
aluminum face very attractive light to fill our 10,000 lumen slot the AstroLux
MF01 one of the most attractive looking lights I've seen in a while
excellent color contrast with the black and silver also the dark brown shroud
around our switch I love the design on the head the combination between the
flats and the fins is excellent down the barrel we have 18 cree XPG3 LEDs and a
solid one-piece optic making our 12,000 lumens
this is also available in Nichia 219 LEDs acebeam X45 the largest of our lights
that big beautiful head on the end of this makes it barely qualifies a pop-can
light but it's in because I said it's in excellent color contrast on this one I
love the size of that head versus the body nice finning on the back we have
our lanyard attachment down the barrel of our acebeam X45 making our eighteen
thousand lumens we have 4 XHP70.2 LEDs shrouded by an immaculate smo reflector
a nice creamy elated aluminum bezel ace beam X80 inch for inch the most powerful
of all our lights by a landslide we have 12 cree XHP50.2 making our 25,000
lumens we also have two red to green and to blue LEDs in the
center we have a 365 nanometer UV LED great knurling solid body
nice-looking build on the back we have a lanyard ring and also we have the tripod
mount if you remove that screw here's a profile shot of all of our lights
you
all of our lights are powered by four 18650 batteries housed in an adapter
except for the Noctigon meteor for which these cells just drop into the
body looking at the carrier's side-by-side they all seem to be
comparable quality all of them very good the most significant difference I can
see between them is the springs on the X80 are considerably thicker than on the
others most of the carriers are a force series adapter except for the AstroLux
MF01 which is a two series two parallel and the Noctigon meteor
which is for parallel quick and simple user interface Noctigon meteor a click
gives me moonlight a double click gives me high a press and hold will give you
turbo click again for off TN36 listen hold for Firefly clicks for on/off
double click double click gives me turbo press and hold will give me the infinite
ramp from turbo if we double click again we've got strobe Astrolux am fo one
clicks give me modes 1 1 through 5 all the way to turbo press and hold gives me
off triple click gets me into the blinky stuff first one is strobe then you click
to move on to the next blinking mode press and hold again you're off Acebeam x45
we have one click on one click off press and hold from off gives us moonlight
press and hold from on will cycle through our low medium high modes a
double click from any position will give us the 9000 lumen turbo another double
click will give us the 18,000 lumen turbo there is a little bit of a trick
there is the first two DoubleClick's have to be
fast and the second two need to be slower okay
Acebeam X80 we have the 1 click on 1 click off from on we have the same press and
hold that will cycle through from red green blue and then our UV when you find
the one you want just let off and then that's memorized to get to the turbos we
do the same thing double click and then the slower double click to get to turbo
max when I tested the lights I found that they did all pretty well live up to
their factory claims I also found that all of them do have a turbo timer the
blue bar in this graph is what they tested at at 30 seconds runtime and the
red bar is what they tested at after the turbo timer had completely settled the
little number floating in space off to the right is the approximate amount of
time that the turbo timer was triggered at some of that take with a grain of
salt because a few of them are temperature triggered and not timer
based here's our pricing information easy enough to see why the Astrolux
made this list there's links in the description for all these lights if you
want to get your own
I wanted to take some shots of all of the lights together so I grabbed some
wood and screws to see if I could make an apparatus to hold all five lights
together rather than five tripods I
think this will do nicely next I grabbed a couple of fistful of 18650s now we just need to wait for it to get dark again any time yep
okay it's dark
