The versatile ACEBEAM TK18 AL is a full-featured general purpose flashlight for EDC, military and law-enforcement. There is a selection of 3 different LEDs (SAMSUNG LH351D / OSRAM KW CSLNM1.TG / NICHIA 219C). 5 different brightness levels and Strobe are controlled using an integrated and intelligent tail switch. Being powered by an ACEBEAM ARC18650H-310A high drain rechargeable battery, both POWER and ECO mode can be activated. It has ECO mode when running on two CR123A 1600mAh battery. A TIR optimized lens helps soften and focus that impeccable light into a focused beam. Double directional gold plated pocket clip and compact size make it easy to carry around on your pocket. Ergonomic knurling on the canister makes it easy to grip comfortably in the palm of your hand with no strain or cramping even over long periods of time.
Oh Acebeam, why have you dropped the 1lumen or less ultra low mode? Just like Olight has done with the Baton Pro? That’s a deal breaker for me. Beautiful light though!
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.
