ISPO Award Winner 2025: Acebeam X25

The X25’s defining feature is its circular array of 16 SFT-25R LEDs (with a CREE XP-LR version optional) – a configuration that doesn’t just flood an area with light; it shapes it with intent. The result is an astounding 22,000 lumens of pure, focused brilliance that reaches up to 1,505 meters. Whether it’s mapping terrain from a mountain ridge or scanning a forested valley in the dead of night, the X25 transforms darkness into clarity with surgical precision. This isn’t just brightness for the sake of spectacle – it’s performance tailored to the realities of extreme exploration and tactical use.

One of the X25’s strongest qualities lies in how intuitively it integrates into demanding workflows. Dual independent switches, one on the body, another on the detachable handle, allow seamless control in any configuration. This dual-system setup is not only ergonomic but essential when operating with gloves or under pressure. Safety, too, is built into its DNA: a patented mechanical lockout prevents accidental activation during transport, a small but vital detail for field professionals who rely on precision gear that never misfires.

Acebeam recognizes that in the field, downtime isn’t an option. That’s why the X25 introduces a dual power system: users can choose between an integrated 60W fast-charging version or a swappable battery pack that enables quick energy replacement on the go. This flexibility ensures maximum uptime and mission continuity – whether in a mountain search or an overnight rescue operation.
Built from aerospace-grade aluminum, the flashlight balances ruggedness with optimal heat dissipation, while maintaining a surprisingly compact size: 157.5 mm in length, 92 mm in head diameter, and 57 mm in body diameter.

“Acebeam has always been committed to pushing the boundaries of lighting performance and design. With the X25, 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.

Visually, the X25 is as striking as it is functional. The circular LED arrangement gives it a futuristic, balanced design, complemented by an RGB status light that communicates battery and mode information without disrupting night vision. Every element, from its waterproof construction to its abrasion-resistant finish, speaks to Acebeam’s deep understanding of field demands. The tactile grip, modular handle, and precise machining all reinforce one feeling: absolute reliability.

Retailing at €335, the Acebeam X25 isn’t designed for casual users. It’s built for those who operate beyond the edge: search and rescue teams, tactical professionals, outdoor expedition leaders, and nighttime explorers who need more than just light; they need confidence in their equipment.
