Acebeam has launched a new flashlight designed for everyday carry (EDC). The UC20 features a flat design with a clip that can attach to belts or hats with visors. This style is similar to other models like the Nitecore EDC2x and the Olight Arkfeld series.
Unique Light Sources
One standout characteristic of the UC20 is its three different light sources. The main light can reach a maximum brightness of 1,000 lumens, while it also includes UV and red lights for added versatility.
Battery Specifications
Sadly, the Acebeam EDC flashlight comes with a non-removable battery that charges via USB Type-C in just 1.2 hours. This battery has a capacity of 1,000 mAh, equating to roughly 3.6 to 3.7 watt-hours, which is on the lower side for flashlights. Nevertheless, the UC20’s power needs are modest, making this capacity adequate for a reasonable usage time.
For instance, the primary LED can emit 5 lumens for an impressive 63 hours. When set to 60 lumens, the duration drops to 8 hours, while 200 and 450 lumens provide runtimes of 2.5 hours and 1 hour, respectively. However, using turbo mode rapidly depletes the battery, lasting only two minutes before reverting to 450 lumens for another 54 minutes.
Water Resistance and Pricing
Conversely, the red LED consumes a lot of power; it lasts only 4.3 hours at 8 lumens, and 23 lumens will fully drain the battery in just over an hour. The UV light can shine for a maximum of 2.3 hours.
The UC20 is designed to be tough, capable of being submerged in water up to 6.5 feet deep. Currently, Acebeam is offering the UC20 at their official store for $59.90. This flashlight is available in both green and black for EDC use.
