Acebeam P16 2.0 Dual Tail Switch Tactical Flashlight
The Acebeam P16 2.0 is a compact yet extremely powerful dual tail-switch tactical flashlight engineered for professionals, enthusiasts, and everyday users who demand speed, reliability, and long-range performance. Powered by a Luminus SFT-42R LED, the P16 2.0 delivers a massive maximum output of 3,000 lumens with an impressive beam distance of up to 543 meters and a peak beam intensity of 73,712 candela. A custom TIR optic paired with an anti-reflective glass lens ensures exceptional light transmission, producing a smooth, tightly focused beam capable of reaching far beyond standard EDC flashlights.
Designed around a dual tail-switch interface, the P16 2.0 separates momentary and mode functions for intuitive, no-nonsense operation. This layout eliminates fumbling under stress and allows precise control whether the light is used for tactical applications, daily carry, or simplified operation. Three distinct operating modes—Tactical, Daily, and Special—let the user tailor performance exactly to the situation, from high-stress scenarios to extended runtime needs.
In Tactical Mode, the P16 2.0 delivers maximum performance with outputs ranging from 170 lumens on Low to a full 3,000-lumen Turbo. Low mode provides 170 lumens with 4,489 candela and a beam distance of 134 meters for up to 10.5 hours. Medium increases output to 400 lumens with 9,900 candela and a 199-meter throw for 4 hours. High mode delivers 1,350 to 800 lumens at 30,450 candela, reaching 349 meters with a runtime of 10 minutes plus 1.5 hours. Turbo mode unleashes the full 3,000 to 800 lumens at 73,712 candela, achieving the maximum 543-meter beam distance for 50 seconds followed by 1 hour and 50 minutes. Tactical Strobe operates at 1,350 lumens with a 349-meter beam distance and runs for up to 2.5 hours. Maximum output in this mode is 3,000 lumens, with a maximum runtime of 10.5 hours.
Daily Mode expands usability for routine carry and extended illumination. Ultra-Low output of 60 lumens provides 1,296 candela with a 72-meter beam distance and an exceptional 30-hour runtime. Low, Medium, High, and Turbo outputs mirror Tactical Mode, offering the same lumen levels, beam distances, and runtimes, while SOS mode operates at 1,350 lumens with a beam distance of 349 meters for 2.5 hours. Daily Mode maintains the same maximum output of 3,000 lumens, maximum beam distance of 543 meters, peak intensity of 73,712 candela, and extends maximum runtime to 30 hours.
Special Mode simplifies operation while retaining powerful output options. Ultra-Low provides 60 lumens for 30 hours, Low delivers 170 lumens for 10.5 hours, and High outputs 1,350 to 800 lumens with a beam distance of 349 meters. In this mode, maximum output is 1,350 lumens with a peak beam intensity of 30,450 candela and a maximum runtime of 30 hours.
The P16 2.0 tactical light is driven by a highly efficient constant-current circuit that maintains stable brightness and optimized power delivery throughout the discharge cycle. Power is supplied by the included ACEBEAM high-drain 18650 3000mAh lithium-ion battery, which is fully replaceable for extended field use. The flashlight is also compatible with two CR123 batteries at 6 volts, while 8.4-volt RCR123 batteries are not supported. Recharging is fast and convenient through a concealed USB-C port, capable of charging in as little as one hour with a maximum 3-amp input. A built-in battery level indicator allows real-time monitoring of remaining power.
Built for demanding environments, the P16 2.0 is constructed from AL6061-T6 aerospace-grade aluminum alloy with hard anodization for superior wear and corrosion resistance. It carries an IP68 rating for complete protection against dust and water immersion and offers 1.5-meter impact resistance. The reinforced strike bezel features three zirconium beads, providing a reliable self-defense option and the ability to break glass during emergencies.
Despite its rugged construction and long-range performance, the P16 2.0 remains compact and easy to carry. It measures 136.3 mm in length with a 32 mm head diameter and a 25 mm body diameter, and weighs 169.3 grams, or 5.97 ounces, including the battery. A two-way pocket clip allows secure attachment to pockets, belts, or bags for rapid access, while the included holster positions the flashlight on gear or a duty belt, enabling a smooth, natural draw when seconds matter.
Combining extreme output, intelligent mode design, durable construction, and practical everyday carry features, the P16 2.0 stands as a powerful and dependable tactical flashlight ready for professional duty, outdoor exploration, emergency preparedness, or daily use.
