Acebeam has opened preorders for the X80GT 3, a compact exploration flashlight offered in two main configurations. The white-light model is rated for a maximum 30,000 lumens and a 430-meter beam, while a multi-light-source version trades some peak output for red and ultraviolet LEDs.
The important qualification is duration: Acebeam’s own output table says the 30,000-lumen Turbo mode lasts 20 seconds before dropping to 3,500 lumens and later 150 lumens. This is a short burst specification, not a brightness level the flashlight sustains continuously.
Two configurations serve different jobs
The white-light X80GT 3 uses 24 cool-white LEDs. Acebeam lists a built-in pack of four 18650 cells, 60W USB-C charging and an approximately one-hour recharge time. Its output modes range from 150 lumens to the short 30,000-lumen Turbo burst.
The multi-light-source model uses 18 white LEDs, four red LEDs and two 365nm UV LEDs. Its maximum white output is rated at 23,000 lumens for 30 seconds, with a claimed 401-meter reach. This version uses a replaceable four-cell 18650 compartment instead of the white model’s built-in battery pack. Acebeam also lists separate red-light and ultraviolet output modes.
Price and preorder status
Acebeam’s product page currently shows a discounted starting price of $169.90, down from a crossed-out $239.90, with preorders open and shipping estimated at roughly 15 days after an order is placed. The selected LED option may affect the final price, so buyers should verify the checkout total and local taxes. Notebookcheck reported the launch on September 20, 2026.
Size, durability and practical limits
The white model is listed at about 560 grams, with a 65mm head and 128mm length. Acebeam claims an IP68 rating and one-meter drop resistance. Both versions include a high-color-rendering side light and a quarter-inch threaded socket for a tripod or handle.
Those specifications position the X80GT 3 as specialist equipment for caving, search work and large-area illumination rather than a small everyday-carry light. Peak brightness, range, charging time, waterproofing and runtime are manufacturer claims; we have not independently tested them. High-output lights can become hot and produce intense glare, so users should follow the supplied safety instructions and avoid directing the beam at people, vehicles or aircraft.
