For those that want 18350, you can get the Mecarmy PS16 Copper Scar . It’s also quad emitter instead of triple but is much more expensive. The XPG3 emitter is not that good though.
“Battle worn” finishes are tacky. I like to put my own battle scars in my stuff. Also, that price just goes to show what I said earlier, that the TK16 price is a bargain.
Definitely interested! If there’s any type of group buy or discount available, I’m in!
Would definitely be interested in a gb for this too.

I’ve never been on an online forum = for anything - where that wasn’t the case…
those features cost extra

I think the Titanium Version will be cool too!
Interested in a group buy
That copper in the video looks sexy. I’ll get one sooner or later.
brightest r123 light now?
Yea. I love the Oslon version I bought. So much power for such a tiny package.
Skylumen also sells a custom quad emitter version for even more output and better efficiency.
could you plz name the a few more lights in this range? brightest single r123 lights?
Mecarmy PT16
Eagtac makes a couple
Klarus XT1C
Prometheus Mini Turbo MKIII
Jetbeam Jet II Pro
The TX25cvn from Skylumen is the most interesting. Throws almost as far as the D1S and Mini GT but at about 1/3 the size.

Just a small correction :
Prometheus FourSevens /4Sevens Mini Turbo MKIII Although it is now under Jason Hui’s charge, they still brand it as 4Sevens. Actually, they are releasing now some new lights under the brand
Add:
MecArmy PS16 (1000 lumens)
Olight S1R Baton II (1000 lumens)
But…this Acebeam TK16 is something gorgeous :heart_eyes:
I love mine!
Didn’t list the PS16 because that is an 18350 light that works with 16340 so it’s much larger in size. Once it gets up to 18350, there are a ton of options including the D4 shorty, Thrunite T1, Tiara Pro, etc. The Olight S1R baton is also a good one. I have it also just don’t like the CW tint and pressed bezel is too hard to remove.
I also really like my TK16 Oslon White Flat version although I got the black anodized aluminum instead of the copper. Which version did you get?

Oops, you’re right :person_facepalming: The PS16 is 18350 oriented yes Sorry!
About the TK16, I also got the Aluminum version
And I am quite impressed with it. Despite the artifacts on the beam, I like it a lot! And the turbo on POWER mode? Insane
I just tested the TK16 Osram version with these three cells. The new Vapcell 800mah is clearly the king of 16340.
Vapcell 800mah
Output: 1,184 lumens
Tested capacity: 781, 782, 791, 757 mah
Acebeam 550mah
Outpu: 1,190 lumens
Tested capacity: 617 mah
Efest 700mah Red wrapper
Output: 1,112 lumens
Tested capacity: 685 mah
Here are measurements I took of the different Acebeam TK series flashlights using the Texas Ace Lumen Tube calibrated with Maukka lights measured at 2 seconds. I love this series but not so much the emitter options. The Osram is actually my favorite tint in this series even though I'm not a CW fan because the negative DUV in the Osram makes it look pure white. I just wish they offer some below the BBL (negative DUV) NW tint in the future.
