Acebeam X30 Flashlight Delivers 20,000 Lumens and 656-Yard Range, Launching with 25% Discount

The Acebeam X30 flashlight has officially launched, bringing professional-grade illumination to enthusiasts and professionals who need extreme brightness in a portable package. The USB-C rechargeable flashlight packs three 6500K LEDs that can produce an eye-watering 20,000 lumens with a maximum beam distance of 656 yards (600 meters), though buyers should note that this peak output is only sustainable for 15 seconds before the light automatically steps down to prevent overheating.

At 6.3 inches long and weighing nearly 1.1 pounds, the X30 is certainly not a compact EDC light. The substantial weight comes from both the oversized head housing the powerful LEDs and the dual 21700 battery configuration that provides around 37Wh of total capacity. The flashlight uses replaceable batteries rather than an internal pack, giving users flexibility in power management during extended use.

Charging is handled through a USB-C port that's protected against dust and moisture, complementing the X30's IP68 rating that allows for brief submersion in water up to 6.6 feet deep. This makes the light suitable for demanding outdoor and professional applications where weather resistance is crucial.

Runtime varies significantly depending on the selected mode. After the initial 15-second turbo burst at 20,000 lumens, the light steps down to 3,000 lumens with a 185-yard range for 1 hour and 50 minutes. Without using turbo mode first, this medium setting lasts approximately 5 minutes longer. At the lowest setting of 40 lumens with a 16-yard range, users can expect up to 58 hours of continuous operation.

The X30 features a sliding switch that provides three basic LED settings, including a dedicated red mode for preserving night vision. Operation is handled through two buttons in addition to the sliding switch, which also serves as a locking mechanism to prevent accidental activation. A separate red light mode offers output between 15 and 300 lumens and can run for at least 5 hours and 42 minutes at maximum output.

Potential buyers should note that the X30 is currently priced at $209, but a 25% discount will be available starting at 9 PM EST on February 2. The flashlight is scheduled to begin shipping on February 8, 2026. Given the substantial discount and the light's professional-grade specifications, this represents a significant opportunity for those in need of extreme illumination capabilities.

The X30's combination of extreme brightness, long throw distance, and robust construction makes it suitable for search and rescue operations, law enforcement, outdoor exploration, and other professional applications where maximum visibility is essential. However, the relatively short duration of peak output means users will need to plan their usage around the light's thermal management system.

The flashlight's runtime in different modes

For those who need professional-grade illumination in a portable package, the Acebeam X30 offers capabilities that rival much larger and more expensive lighting solutions, though the premium price point and substantial size mean it's best suited for users who truly need its extreme performance characteristics.
