ACEBEAM is kicking off its 12th Anniversary celebration in style with the official release of the brand-new UC3A Compact Multi-Color EDC Light, a feature-packed flashlight designed for everyday carry, camping, emergency signaling, outdoor adventures, and more.
Small enough to disappear into your pocket yet powerful enough to handle serious tasks, the UC3A combines high-performance white light with a versatile RGB side-light system, creating one of the most interesting compact EDC releases of the year.
Compact Body, Impressive Performance
At the core of the UC3A are dual SST-36R 6500K LEDs capable of producing up to 900 lumens with a maximum beam distance of 85 meters. Despite its ultra-compact footprint, the flashlight delivers bright, clean illumination suitable for everything from nighttime walks and daily utility tasks to outdoor adventures and emergency situations.
ACEBEAM also focused heavily on beam quality. The UC3A provides smooth, flicker-free lighting without PWM, making it far more comfortable on the eyes during long-term use.
The flashlight includes multiple brightness levels for different scenarios:
- Ultra Low: 4 lumens with up to 23 hours runtime
- Low: 80 lumens
- Medium: 210 lumens with extended efficiency step-down
- Turbo: 900 lumens maximum output
- Strobe mode for emergency signaling and visibility
270° RGB Auxiliary Lighting Adds Incredible Versatility
What truly separates the UC3A from typical EDC flashlights is its integrated 270-degree RGB auxiliary side light. Instead of only projecting light forward, the side LEDs spread illumination across a much wider area, making the light incredibly useful around camp, inside tents, during repairs, or as an ambient fill light.
The side-light system includes:
- White auxiliary lighting
- Red illumination
- Green illumination
- Blue illumination
- Flashing signal modes
- Rainbow flow lighting effect
These lighting modes make the UC3A ideal not only for camping and outdoor activities, but also for signaling, increasing nighttime visibility while walking dogs, or creating soft area lighting in low-light environments.

Easy Dual-Switch Operation
ACEBEAM designed the UC3A with a smart dual-switch interface that separates the main beam controls from the RGB side-light controls. This logical layout makes operation far simpler and more intuitive than many compact flashlights with overloaded single-button systems.
Users can instantly switch between the main beam and auxiliary lighting without cycling through endless menus.
Flexible Battery Support
The UC3A runs on a 400mAh USB-C rechargeable 10440 Li-ion battery, included in the package. The USB-C charging system offers modern convenience while helping reduce disposable battery waste.
ACEBEAM also added excellent backup flexibility. Users can quickly swap batteries or even use a compatible AAA battery when longer runtime or emergency power is needed.
That versatility makes the UC3A especially practical for travel kits, camping setups, and emergency preparedness.
Durable Enough for Everyday Abuse
Built from aerospace-grade AL6061-T6 aluminum, the UC3A feels premium and rugged despite its tiny size. The hard-anodized finish helps protect against scratches and wear, while the light itself is rated to survive drops up to 1.5 meters.

Its IP68 waterproof and dustproof rating ensures reliable performance in rain, harsh weather, and demanding outdoor environments.
Additional practical features include:
- Magnetic tail cap for hands-free use
- Pocket clip for secure carry
- Keychain compatibility
- Lightweight compact form factor
- Only 63g including battery
With dimensions of just 71.5mm long, the UC3A is designed to go virtually anywhere.
