Nice! High CRI and flat output of 800+ lumens for 100 + minutes (https://zeroair.org/2023/08/14/acebeam-e75-nichia-flashlight-review/). Seems like a great design. $99 list price seems a little high but maybe Acebeam is discounting it.

With the great build quality, excellent emitters, beautiful beam, impressive regulation, comfortable form factor, and included cell I don't think $99 is completely out of line. Sure I'd be ecstatic if it was $75 but it's definitely worth twice as much as any ~~Sofirn~~ budget competitor. IMO of course. The only light I have that I'd put on it's level is the D4K with a boost driver, and the things the E75 does better really stand out after carrying both.

True, it’s nice to be able to recommend a complete package that will serve as a reliable tool and in this case the MSRP reflects the quality.

There was a code that made it $65. I think it's expired now. So yeah don't buy at full price If they are willing to discount it like that, they probably will again.

Now on sale for $70 at the acebeam website (code NEWEDC30). I saw this on the other site 😓 )
