HIGH-OUTPUT TACTICAL LIGHTING
Founded in 2014 in Shenzhen. Pushed user-controlled stepless dimming into high-output flashlights.
Acebeam was founded in 2014 in Shenzhen, China by Michael Song — the brand built on top of a manufacturing facility that had been running since 2009. Their first major innovation, the X60M (2015), was the first stepless-dimming flashlight, setting a new benchmark for user-controlled brightness in high-output lighting. The product line spans long-distance tactical flashlights, headlamps, EDC lights, white-laser searchlights, emergency battery-charging flashlights, and camping lights. Over the past decade Acebeam has developed 200+ circuit solutions, holds 300+ certifications and patents, and ships 2M+ units annually.

Answers, straight up.
Product-specific questions on the left. Shopping with SRO on the right. Both open-ended — hit us if we missed one.
Can this flashlight run on standard AA batteries?
Yes. It supports both a rechargeable 14500 battery and standard AA batteries for backup power.
Is this suitable for everyday carry?
Yes. Its compact size and pocket clip make it well-suited for EDC and kit use.
How durable is the TAC AA?
It is built with aircraft-grade aluminum, IP68 waterproofing, and 1.5 m impact resistance for field use.
How long does shipping take?
Most orders process within 1–3 business days from our warehouse. From there: 5–7 business days economy, 2–3 business days expedited, or overnight if you need it fast. Free economy shipping on orders over $150 (contiguous US). Alaska, Hawaii, and Pro Eagle / freight items are quoted at checkout. You’ll get a tracking number and link the moment your order ships.
What’s your return policy?
30 days from the day your order arrives. Gear has to come back unused, with all original tags, stickers, and packaging intact. For standard items we’ll send a prepaid return label and deduct return shipping from your refund. Oversized or freight returns are on you, unless the item showed up damaged, defective, or wrong — in which case we cover it.
Refunds hit your original payment method within 10 business days of approval.
What can’t I return?
Final-sale items, gift cards, food and drink products, personal-care items, anything customized or engraved, briefs (hygiene), and hazardous materials. If you’re not sure whether something qualifies, email us before you order — we’ll tell you straight.
Do you ship outside the contiguous US?
Yes. Alaska, Hawaii, and US territories ship on freight-quoted rates calculated after checkout. International orders are available worldwide at variable rates; duties and import fees are the customer’s responsibility. EU customers get a 14-day cancellation window per EU consumer law, on top of our standard return policy.
My package arrived damaged — what now?
Email info@stayreadyoutdoors.com within 7 days of delivery with your order number and clear photos of the damage (product + packaging). We’ll replace, refund, or ship a return label on us — no back-and-forth. Damaged, defective, or wrong-item claims never cost you shipping.
Can I talk to a human before buying?
Yes. Email info@stayreadyoutdoors.com — we answer every message ourselves, usually within a few hours during business days. We carry this gear, we use this gear, and we’d rather talk you out of a kit that doesn’t fit your mission than sell you the wrong one.
Do you offer a military/first-responder discount?
Yes. Active-duty and veteran military, police, fire, EMS, and medical first responders get 10% off every order. Verify through GovX at checkout — one-time, secure, and reusable across thousands of brands. Discount applies automatically once you’re verified.
