There is strobe in M2, just 4 clicks as i remember. I Have M1 and M2. M2 great form factor, instant high mode throw and GREAT tint of Led (throw optic). I have both in high CRI (in flood optic). Really love both, cool and quality very high.
m1 is basically the alpha hobby light right now. especially considering the size. this time of year in the US, i just keep it in my car and shine whenever i find a quiet spot. a one handed zoomie lep is a seemingly endless novelty.
I applaud and agree with your criteria of the self defensive light. I have the Elzetta Bravo, which (imho) consider the simplest, toughest, tactical/defensive, go to war flashlight on the market. I know you bought the Bravo after this comparison study. In your opinion, how does the Bravo stack up against these other good lights? Thank you. You produce very informative vids. Keep up the good work.
Thanks mate. I really appreciate it. The Bravo is top tier as you know. It is hard for it to lose a battle with any other light. The size of the head may put some people off due to its reduced pocket comfort. But that is a little sacrifice to make for such a robust and useful light
Ahhhh Sorry man, might be switching to a new editing tool which would mean different music. Just experimenting. Might chuck it back in now that i know you dig it
Thanks for your video, but it would have been nice if you'd showed both the "tripple-click Strobe" on the M1 and "tripple-click Flood+Throw" on the M2 outside :)
They're not my style of lights but I do see how the fit what so many people would be looking for. Fantastic designs in both of them. Acebeam is serious about their lights. I have a Weltool focus flashlight and love using it, as well. They're plain fun and practical.
Sadly the m1 you have is not the cool white like mine , huge difference between the cool white which was not available to me but the m2 is easily obtainable in cool white .
It looks like its just a novelty.for the m2,youre right,its a COOL light,but not the type that you would carry everday,UI and ergonomics are just way out. Nice review mate.
I wonder if the m2's spot light lens coating(if it has one), is any better than the m1's, as mine was damaged within the first 3 days, just in my usual jeans pocket, where all of my pocket torches live. Have Since gone back to sofirn if22a, as my always on me torch. The If 22a that is back in my pocket, still has only a few lens marks, after more than 2 years in the same pocket, hence being very disappointed with the m1's absolute crap coating(or lack of protective front glass). M1 was good, but a bit too big and heavy, and made useless with having to be kept in a protective cover. And the stupid long press lockout, that kept being turned on again, and unscrewing battery cap a bit doesn't work, and it still turned on, even in a "soft" cover, so ended up removing battery cap when not in use, before just putting it on shelf with other retired torches.(but at least it was cheap enough, at the pre-production discount price - $202us) But Would be tempted to try the M2, if it doesn't have such issues, as i really disliked the m1 not being able to use both at once(i often use spot and wide together on my cyansky hs6r headband). Just got the eskte mix 7 ( CREE XP-G4 6500K version) and liking it so far, a lot of light from something the length of my thumb, especially like the green or red on high, and the uv is good enough to make you wish, you did not look closely at things you thought were clean....., so may become my always carried one for now.
auxillary is useful for cyclists if the need a quick rear light replacement.. i still use a cheap old led torch as my rear light mounted with cable ties
On the M2X is the throw using LED or LEP and if you were able to compare, which is better?. Lastly, is the flood significantly useful or no? With such a small battery idk if it's worth getting so I'd love your take
@@07freshkid70 It uses an LED for the throw. I don't have an M2 or M1 so I can't make a comparison. But the quality of the throw light is satisfying, though it does not go as far as the throw of M1 which uses an LEP. Good value for the price on M2-X. But if you already have an M2 or M1, I don't think it's necessary to buy an M2-X.
I have not done tests on battery life so I cannot tell you in a quantified way. What I can tell you is that the battery life is pretty much at the same level as any other mainstream 18650 flashlight, not that you should worry.@@07freshkid70
I wish companies would go ultra light. Instead of Aluminum or even titanium, try “Ultem”. I plastic that is durable, holts up against heat, 1/2 the weight of titanium at a 1/5th of the price.
Ultem might be durable, but it is a very poor heatsink. All the heat will be concentrated and destroy your emitter and electronics or it will step down so fast it won't be useful. In fact, it's a thermal and electrical insulator.... so you would still need a metal sleeve or some kind of conductor to carry current between the tail and head of the flashlight... It might be ok-ish in some small low power lights... There's a reason flashlight bodies are mostly aluminum... it's got the best balance of properties (inexpensive, good electrical conductivity, better thermal properties than titanium and steel, good durability with type 3 hard anodize, lighter than titanium, steel, copper, etc)
