Acebeam UC2A flashlight, Digi Mart USA News: Acebeam has announced the UC2A, a new compact flashlight, via Instagram, though the company has released only limited details so far. The UC2A is not yet listed on Acebeam’s official website, according to the report.
The design and known features closely resemble the UC3A, which the publisher previously examined during a hands-on visit to Acebeam’s headquarters in Shenzhen. The UC2A is larger than its predecessor and uses an AA battery form factor, with a cell that can be recharged via USB-C, most likely through a port on the cell itself.
The UC3A was based on a smaller AAA form factor and used a 3.7 V 10440 cylindrical cell, while also accepting standard off-the-shelf AAA batteries. The UC2A appears to follow the same approach with AA batteries, probably using a 14500 cylindrical cell with a USB-C recharging port.
The UC2A’s main light is rated at 1,300 lumens, compared with 900 lumens for the UC3A. It also includes an RGB side light that can be set to several colors and used either as a signal light or as a fill or ambient light.
A clip allows the flashlight to be attached to objects such as a baseball cap.
Battery runtimes, pricing and market availability have not been announced. The report notes that pricing will probably be higher than the UC3A, which currently costs about 25 USD at Amazon.com.
The information is based on a publisher article that has not been independently verified.
