Acebeam TAC 2AA

Acebeam calls it the brightest 2AA light sold: 1,600 lumens on the included 14100P cell and 630 on a pair of NiMH, with a tactical tail switch and a metal side switch that run either a Tactical or a Daily mode group. The Black and Dark Green versions use an unnamed 6500K emitter at 8,190 candela for 181 metres; the Blue and Desert colours fit an SFT-25R or an XP-LR for 304 and 322 metres at slightly lower output. Turbo holds a minute before 119 minutes at a lower level, and moonlight lasts 94 hours. IP68, 106 grams, tail-stands, USB-C on the cell, and no CRI figure.
