The Acebeam TK18 is a unique and powerful LED flashlight with a stylish copper body. This light makes a serious impression with a slim style and gorgeous copper that makes it just as fun to use as it is to show off. Depending on LED option, the TK18 emits up to 3000 Lumens in turbo mode! This light features thick studded knurling, a finely crenelated bezel and a two-way pocket clip that makes it easy to carry hands-free.
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.

Well, so much for my hope that that was a high CRI LH3351D.
I like how acebeam offers 3 LED options so you can choose between CRI, lumens, and throw, depending on what your priorities are
Is there a black aluminum version of this flashlight coming?
It seems like there used to be but not on the acebeam website anymore…
Edit: BLACKNOVEMBER for 25% off still works! Get it before it’s gone!
