Body

Weight	62 g
Length	83 mm
Body diameter	26 mm
Head diameter	33 mm
Dimensions	83 x 33 x 26 mm
Material	aluminium alloy with HAIII hard-anodized finish
Colors	black

This 62 g flashlight would generally be considered lightweight and easy to handle for most people. The length of a flashlight can also impact its balance and weight distribution. A well-balanced flashlight, where the weight is evenly distributed, can be more comfortable to hold for longer periods and reduce hand fatigue. Aluminium body of H50 Nichia is known for its durability and strength. It offers excellent resistance to impacts, scratches, and corrosion, making it suitable for rugged outdoor use or in demanding environments.

System

Emitter	3 x Nichia 219C LEDs
Color temperature	4500 K
Reflector	TIR
Lens	TIR
Switch	electronic side

The emitter of H50 Nichia manufactured by Nichia, a Japanese LED manufacturer. Color temperature is a characteristic of light. It is measured in units called Kelvin (K) and is used to quantify the color appearance of light sources, particularly white light. A TIR lens works on the principle of total internal reflection. The TIR lens collimates the LED light into efficient, well-controlled light beams that maximize the usable lumens in the target area. The H50 Nichia utilizes electronic switch. Electronic switches on flashlights provide a range of advantages and additional features compared to mechanical switches.

Performance

Flux	1210 lm
Intensity	3690 cd
Throw	121 m
CD/LM factor	3.05

With 1210 lm, the H50 Nichia flashlight will offer a brighter and more powerful beam of light. This higher output can be advantageous in various situations where you require enhanced visibility or need to illuminate larger areas. With 3690 cd, the H50 Nichia flashlight provides a noticeably brighter and more intense beam of light. It can illuminate objects or areas with greater clarity and visibility, even at longer distances.

The throw is the calculated distance in meters at which the flashlight produces a light intensity of 0.25 lux. The cd/lm factor (candela-to-lumen ratio) provides information about how concentrated or focused the light output of a light source is. A higher cd/lm ratio indicates that the light is more concentrated in a specific direction, while a lower ratio indicates a more diffused or spread-out light output.

Software

Modes	5 modes
Mode memory	yes
Ramping mode	no
Strobe	no
SOS/Beacon	yes

Modes on a flashlight refer to different output settings or levels of brightness that can be selected to suit different needs and preferences. The H50 Nichia has mode memory. Mode memory means that the flashlight will remember the mode you were using when the light was last turned off, and when you turn it on again. It has the SOS beacon function for an emergency situation. The SOS flashes Morse code so you can signal for help when needed. The SOS signal is recognized as an international distress call and is used to indicate an urgent need for assistance.

Features

Battery	1 x 18650 Li-Ion battery
Battery indicator	yes
Charger port	USB Type-C
LVP	yes
Thermal regulation	yes
Protection	IPx8
AUX LEDs	no
Magnetic	no

The Acebeam H50 Nichia flashlight is powered by 1 x 18650 Li-Ion battery. The battery indicator lets you know when the battery is low, charging, or fully charged. This flashlight can charge the battery with an integrated charger, and it works with a USB power source. This flashlight has a built-in low voltage protection (LVP) to prevent damage to the cell from over-discharge, so protected cells are not necessary.

The built-in thermal control automatically adjusts brightness output to prevent overheating. The "8" in the IPx8 rating indicates the highest level of protection against water ingress.

Accessories

Package contents	2 x spare o-rings USB Type-C cable headband

Having spare O-rings allows you to replace them as needed, ensuring that the flashlight maintains its water-tight seal and remains protected from moisture or water ingress.

The performance of the Acebeam H50 Nichia flashlight is measured according to the ANSI / NEMA FL1 Standard 30 seconds after switching the light on. The ANSI/NEMA FL1 2009 Standard is a set of flashlight performance guidelines.
