Product Overview
The Acebeam P16 2.0 is a dual tail-switch tactical flashlight built for duty use, everyday carry, and self-defense. Driven by the new Luminus SFT-42R LED, it delivers up to 3,000 lumens and a beam distance of 543m, focused through a custom TIR optic behind an anti-reflective glass lens for a smooth, far-reaching beam.
Three selectable mode groups — Tactical, Daily, and Special — let you match the light's behaviour to the task: Tactical mode puts instant strobe on the function switch for high-stress situations, Daily mode swaps that for SOS, and Special mode strips things back to a simplified brightness-only setup (UltraLow, Low, and High — no Strobe or SOS). The dual tail-switch design keeps momentary-on and mode-cycling functions physically separate, so you can hit full output or strobe instantly without fumbling.
Built from AL6061-T6 aerospace-grade aluminium with hard anodization, the P16 2.0 carries an IP68 rating for dust and water protection and can survive drops of up to 1.5m. A stainless steel strike bezel with 3 embedded zirconium beads doubles as a glass-breaking tool for emergencies. It charges via a hidden USB-C port (full charge in around 1 hour at up to 3A) and includes a built-in charging-status indicator, a two-way pocket/belt clip, and a holster for quick-draw carry.
