I need suggestions for a brighter flashlight. Using it for night forest hiking to spot creepy crawlies with my young boy. I am thinking about jumping to acebeam x75 but kinda expensive. Love how the x25 looks but its really throwy, hows the flood on it ?
All of these are pretty underwhelming, they just arent bright enough to spot little insects.

Still don’t collect them, they’re tools If I have one for a certain need then I’m done until some thing better comes along that does the job. I personally think collecting stuff because its a different colour or whatever should leave you in your 20’s and that’s pushing it.
Imagine collecting power drills just because they’re different colours …
You don’t want the X25 if you’re using it to try flooding a large area. The X25 is a thrower. It does have spill, but the hotspot is overpowering, and way too concentrated to really be useful up close. If you’re sticking to Acebeam, you would actually be better off with the X30 with the XHP70.2 emitter option, rather than the X25.
In fact for looking at small minute details or small insects, I’d recommend a high CRI flooder rather than the colder, higher lumens floods like what you’d see from Imalent or Lumintop, or like the Acebeam X75…
Take a look at the [Convoy 3X21E with the Nichia 519A 5000K emitter](https://convoylight.com/products/convoy-3x21e-21700-flashlight?variant_sku_code=12286895-10794367-50178354-10794368-50178356-10794369-50178364) option, and with the 30 degree or 60 degree TIR option and 3x Reliance RS50 batteries. Color accuracy if you’re looking around for wildlife in a floodlight would likely be your best option.
r/playingcards is leaking?
Only a real puss cannot admit error. 🙂 The main take away here is one light cannot do it all all but cover most needs. Looking at your handsome collection, it’s a healthy variety.Â
How is the 3X21C underwhelming? The X75 isn’t going to be that much brighter, it’s 35K Lumens vs 67K Lumens, that seems like a big difference but isn’t really that much more in real use.
