ISPO Award Winner 2025: Acebeam Keylite 500

Weighing just 19 grams and measuring under 6.1 cm, the Keylite 500 feels almost weightless – yet its beam cuts through darkness with an impressive 500 lumens. That’s more than enough to light up a trail, find your way back to camp, or simply unlock your bike in the dark.

Its dual-LED design is where the magic happens: one LED delivers powerful, focused brightness, while the other emits a soft, eye-friendly glow. The result? A tool that adapts effortlessly, whether you’re repairing gear, reading a map, or navigating a power outage at home.

Crafted from aerospace-grade aluminum, the Keylite 500 feels reassuringly solid, built to handle real life’s bumps and scrapes. It’s rated IP66 dust- and water-resistant, with 1.5 meters of drop protection, meaning it’s just as ready for a rain-soaked trail as it is for a hectic commute.

Despite its toughness, the design language is sleek and minimalist. Smooth contours, a matte finish, and subtle color options in red or green make it as stylish as it is functional. It’s that rare piece of gear that feels equally at home clipped to a climbing harness or hanging from a handbag.

“Acebeam has always been committed to pushing the boundaries of lighting performance and design. With the Keylite 500, our goal was to strike a perfect balance between power, design, and user experience, allowing every user to feel the strength and craftsmanship behind Acebeam.”, says Michael Song, Product Manager at Acebeam.

The Keylite 500 charges quickly via USB-C, ensuring you’re never left in the dark for long. Its intuitive one-handed operation makes it practical for on-the-go use, while the soft-glow mode proves a thoughtful addition — ideal for late-night walks or gentle, close-up tasks.

It’s also a product developed with women’s needs in mind: compact, comfortable to carry, and designed for intuitive ease. It’s light, bright, and empowering, a simple but meaningful tool for everyday independence.

At an accessible €11.90, the Keylite 500 brings premium engineering to the everyday. It embodies Acebeam’s philosophy of making professional-grade lighting accessible, durable, and genuinely useful.
