Acebeam K1
The Acebeam K1 is a round-body LED handheld light rated at 1,000 lumens and 12,432 candela, with White and UV output. That candela figure works out to an effective positive identification distance of 38 yards and visual impairment out to 5 yards, both calculated from the published beam data. It runs on 14500 and is rechargeable. It weighs 2.73 oz in an aluminum body 4.33 inches long. An integrated green laser is fitted. Measured against the 362 handheld lights in the index, it lands on the dimmer side for output (1,000 lumens), on the less intense side for beam intensity (12,432 candela), in the lightest quarter for weight (2.73 oz), and among the least expensive 10 percent for price ($55). It is one of 127 entries in the index that qualify as a light in the same 1,000 to 1,999 lumen class. The closest listed comparison is Acebeam TAC AA V2, the same brand's light in the same 1,000 to 1,999 lumen class, priced at $55.
