I like triples and quads with broad wide beams, and this E70 Mini has become my recent favorite. The awesome & new 519A @ 5000K R9080 emitter behind TIR provides a flawless wide beam (around 30 deg to my eyes), great neutral tint for outdoors, no tint shift, and beautiful color rendition. Some may prefer warmer CCTs, especially for indoors, but I think 5000K is perfect for outdoors.
The brightness levels are all perfectly selected, I can dial it in for good balance of runtime & brightness no matter what the situation. Since my hikes are varied in length between 1-6 hours, I really like that I can select a level that gives me runtime suitable to hike length. 170 lm for 7 hours is more than adequate for most things. I think the lowest mode is perfect too, which I will use during full moon low-light hike.
I think this light should be 5 stars, but I am giving it 4.5 for only one reason: the springs are too short for normal flat top batteries to work reliably. You will need at least button top, and the selection of flat tops, depending on where you live, is always smaller than flat tops.
I am hoping Acebeam can release a side-clicky version of this light, and an E70 (full size) quad 519 5000K as well. Additional improvements would be allow the blue collar for removal and cleaning, as dirt will collect in there. A great companion would be a H17 with the same emitter.
In short, this light will replace a large swath of my collection. I've already ordered a few, I can not be without this one.
The Acebeam E70 Mini produces one of the most neutral beams that I have seen. It is a lovely tactical EDC torch!
The E70 Mini looks like a tactical torch with a matte black finish but it is comfortable, there are no sharp edges, and the beam that it produces is easy on the eyes.
It would be nice if unprotected flat top 18650 cells fit. The tube is a bit too long. And double click to turn on will take some getting used to.
I am impressed again with the excellent build quality from Acebeam.
That thing light with nice CRI neutral white and really wide beam and spill - really close to that PT40 is producing. But E70mini definitely has better tint, those 519a leds are really nice! Good light to work with it in ranges to maximum 100 meters. I really like doubleclick to on (but you can access to moon with single long press from off anyway). Really cool allrounder.
A great pocket flashlight. Great quality nichia 519a with a beautiful, clean color, it does not turn green, which is the case with other producers. Very good workmanship and great design. Perfect for everyday use pocket, compact size, good power and high CRI showing details in nicer colors.
PROS:
-Looks cool, and its cool that it matches my E70
-Tritium slots!
-Great LED, good tint, high CRI
-Nice beam profile
CONS:
-Too Long for the battery size. Any cell besides the Acebeam cell either wont work at all (too much space) or wont work well (not enough spring compression)
- - The available cell adds $10 to the cost – this is an unreasonable cell price
-Auto lock, requiring double click from off is weird and takes adjusting to.
Overall, I like it alot!
519A is a great choice, beautiful beam and the most beautiful tint. Premium craftsmanship, it just feels good to hold.
E70 MINI is a compact yet powerful flashlight. Despite its small size, it delivers up to 2,000 lumens, providing ample brightness for daily use. That includes in my case, looking for black widow under rocks and bark during daytime, and searching for lost stuff in my car, and I use it a lot as a light source to lighten my subject when I do animal night photography. Easy to carry always in my pocket, waterproof and impact resistant. And multiple brightness levels and a user-friendly interface, allow for quick adjustments to suit your needs.
