#Acebeam

Everyday Carry, or EDC, has become a buzzword in the gun community. At its core, the EDC mindset is a reminder to be reasonably prepared for the day’s events and possibilities by carrying and having access to some basic tools, equipment, and supplies that can make life easier and safer. My EDC gear centers around three cornerstone items – pistol, knife, and flashlight – with easy access to secondary items like a tourniquet, spare magazines, less-lethal device, food, and water. Depending on the area of responsibility (AOR) you live and work in, your EDC items may vary widely. However, the one constant that is usually legal to carry and has a great deal of utility is the flashlight. Let’s take a look at the ACEBEAM Rider RX EDC line of flashlights that offer compact versatility.

There are a large variety of weapon lights on the market today. Size, output, battery type, mounting styles, and other features are just a few of the attributes that set different manufacturers and models apart from each other. What distinguishes a good light from a bad one is price, performance, and reliability. Is the Acebeam P15 Tactical Light the right weapon light for you? Let’s take a look.

If you recall last April, I reviewed the Weltool W3 “Featherless Arrow” flashlight. It uses a new type of illumination technology called Laser Excited Phosphor (LEP). At that time Acebeam had a competing product called the W10. On paper, the W10 was a little bit better than the Weltool W3. 250 lumens and 250k candela. Well, they have made a bigger more powerful LEP light. The W30 is a long range LEP illuminator.
