    Introduction:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    <\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
    <\/div>\n\n\n\n

    Acebeam is widely considered one of the premier manufacturers of flashlights and accessories, and the consensus has always been unanimous: They make nice, high quality lights for enthusiasts and professional users (like hunters worldwide). A few of their lights that made waves in the market were the L-series long-throw tactical-use flashlights. Starting with the L17 introduced in late 2019, it was the longest-throwing tactical flashlight, with a reach of 700+ meters from a 39 mm head thanks to the Osram CSLPM1.TG LED and a narrow-angle TIR optic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The L18 that followed bumped it up (a lot), to 1000 meters, and the last version L19 proved that a compact tactical light could reach 1300 meters (with a 60 mm head, no less). It\u2019s still the farthest-throwing tactical flashlight out there. Now there\u2019s a new L19, the 2.0. You might be thinking, \u201cNick, jeez, the L19 was pretty good as-is. How did they improve on the original?<\/strong>\u201d Well, not much because the new light retains the original host and TIR. Aside from an inconsequential weight increase, the big difference is the LED. The original Osram Boost HX has been supplanted by the new kid on the block high intensity LED from Luminus.Guess which one (there will be a quiz later). Acebeam sent one for testing, and I\u2019m excited to see how the L19 platform will benefit from this LED. It gets quite a bit brighter, so I\u2019m expecting a nice bump in output, and I\u2019m sure all the usual Acebeam accouterments will be present and accounted for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Package quality.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    Acebeam\u2019s packaging is retail friendly for sure, with nice graphics and lots of specs and feature blurbs all over for nice eye candy. I always liked the color schemes and layout, but I don\u2019t like the inner packaging too much because it\u2019s always the same blow-molded thin plastic carrier holding all the bits. These bits fall out all over when you pull out the inner packaging. Acebeam, take a hint from Fenix on that one. Here\u2019s what\u2019s inside:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
