The Acebeam H18 is a versatile headlamp which features dual light sources, offering up to 4000 lumens of wide-flood white light and a red light for night vision preservation. It is powered by a single 6400mAh rechargeable 21700 lithium-ion battery, which can be recharged via USB Type-C either directly on the battery or through the torch body's USB-C port, protected by a metal cover. The white light is delivered by four LEDs, available in 6500K cool or 5000K neutral options, producing a smooth, non-PWM wide flood beam for flicker-free illumination. The red light source is specifically designed for night vision preservation. Constructed from aluminium alloy with a hard-anodised finish, the H18 has an IP68 ingress protection rating, making it fully submersible to 2 metres for 30 minutes, and offers 2 metres of impact resistance. A quick-detach bracket allows for easy mounting and removal, complemented by a 180° adjustable tilt for precise beam direction and a breathable headband for comfort. It provides a maximum output of 4000 lumens (6500K variant), a beam distance of 162 metres (6500K variant), and an impressive maximum runtime of 280 hours (ultra low mode).

Performance and Runtime Disclaimer
How to read the data: The outputs provided above are maximum outputs for each mode, and the runtimes provided are the time it takes to drop to 10% of the initial output. This is in line with the International Flashlight Testing Standard ANSI FL1.
Any visual representations (graphs) of the data are approximate only.

The actual output of the torch/headlamp is controlled by an in-built temperature regulation system. As the torch/headlamp heats up, the brightness will drop to prevent overheating. The Turbo modes of torches/headlamps usually drop down significantly after anything from 15 seconds to 2 minutes. High modes often also experience a drop down over time. Medium and Low modes, however, can be constant for very close to the length of time specified. As the torch/headlamp cools down, either from being turned off or from being used on a lower output level, you will be able to access higher brightness levels again.
Example: An output of 2000 lumens and runtime of 5 hours does not mean 2000 lumens for 5 hours — it means it starts at 2000 lumens and drops below 200 lumens after 5 hours of continuous use.
Turbo and high modes may be unavailable or limited as the battery gets low on charge.
Exact specifications can vary between torches, batteries, age and environments.
