The UC15 has a range of capabilities that make it stand out, with white, red and UV beams, and the choice of AAA or 10440 for power. We are certainly spoilt for choice when it comes to keychain lights, in many cases with there being very little to distinguish between them, but the UC15 definitely gives you more. It is one of the larger keychain lights, being in the &#8216;car key size&#8217; class, many of which have built-in batteries and though those have the convenience of USB charging, they are limited by the capacity of that battery. Not the UC15 as it takes 2x AAA or 2x 10440, but can run on only one cell if needed.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"

However, the current firmware version doesn&#8217;t quite follow this diagram once you have activated the &#8216;colour group&#8217;.<br \/>\nOn one copy of the UI diagram I have made a couple of adjustments, and the reason for these is as follows&#8230;<br \/>\nTurning on to Moon mode does NOT &#8216;activate&#8217; the white group when the current group is the colour group; it only temporarily enters the white group. So, if the colour group was the active group and you turn on to Moon mode, even if you then select another white output level, once you turn the UC15 off, it will revert to the colour group.<br \/>\nFrom OFF, with the colour group active, the only way to &#8216;activate&#8217; the white group is via a double click.<br \/>\nIf the colour group is active, and the UC15 is OFF, a double click does NOT turn Turbo on, instead it turns on the memorised white level; it then takes one more double click to enter Turbo.<br \/>\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n#foogallery-gallery-5574 .fg-image { width: 150px; }\n#foogallery-gallery-5574 { --fg-gutter: 10px; }<\/style>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"foogallery foogallery-container foogallery-default foogallery-lightbox-foobox fg-center fg-m-col2 fg-default fg-ready fg-dark fg-border-thin fg-round-medium fg-loading-default fg-loaded-fade-in fg-caption-hover fg-hover-fade fg-hover-zoom fg-no-js\" id=\"foogallery-gallery-5574\" data-foogallery=\"{&quot;item&quot;:{&quot;showCaptionTitle&quot;:false,&quot;showCaptionDescription&quot;:true},&quot;lazy&quot;:true,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;src&quot;,&quot;srcset&quot;:&quot;srcset&quot;}\" style=\"--fg-title-line-clamp: 0; --fg-description-line-clamp: 0;\" >\n\t<div class=\"fg-item fg-type-image fg-loading\"><figure class=\"fg-item-inner\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/UC15-UI-red.jpg\" data-caption-title=\"Some changes are needed to the diagram.\" data-caption-desc=\"Some changes are needed to the diagram.\" data-attachment-id=\"5575\" data-type=\"image\" class=\"fg-thumb\"><span class=\"fg-image-wrap\"><img src=\"https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/cache\/2018\/07\/UC15-UI-red\/1275694308.jpg\" title=\"Some changes are needed to the diagram.\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"skip-lazy fg-image\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><span class=\"fg-image-overlay\"><\/span><\/a><figcaption class=\"fg-caption\"><div class=\"fg-caption-inner\"><div class=\"fg-caption-desc\">Some changes are needed to the diagram.<\/div><\/div><\/figcaption><\/figure><div class=\"fg-loader\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fg-item fg-type-image fg-loading\"><figure class=\"fg-item-inner\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/UC15-UI.jpg\" data-attachment-id=\"5576\" data-type=\"image\" class=\"fg-thumb\"><span class=\"fg-image-wrap\"><img src=\"https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/cache\/2018\/07\/UC15-UI\/1162564911.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"skip-lazy fg-image\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><span class=\"fg-image-overlay\"><\/span><\/a><\/figure><div class=\"fg-loader\"><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<h3>Batteries and output:<\/h3>\n<p>The UC15 runs on 2x AAA or for maximum output 2x 10440.

This high CRI Nichia LED version doesn&#8217;t quite have the same 1000lm output as the XP-L version, but at around 700lm when using 10440, is very impressive.<br \/>\nPersonally I find the levels a bit too bright when using 10440, and I prefer to use AAA, which brings the levels down to a brightness that works better for an EDC light. You have the choice though, a true pocket-rocket, or a seriously useful EDC light. The level chosen for  &#8216;Moon&#8217; mode is more like a low level than a moon mode as at 5lm is too bright for dark adapted eyes.<br \/>\nWhen it comes to red light, typically this is used to help maintain dark adapted vision. In the case of the UC15&#8217;s red output, it is very bright, with nearly 100lms of red when using 10440; this is too much. If you were to go to an astronomy &#8216;star party&#8217;, and broke out the UC15&#8217;s red beam, you would be asked to leave &#8211; immediately. With the red beam being a specific wavelength (630nm) it is virtually invisible to many night time quarry if you are out hunting after dark, so in this regard is useful. Beyond that, the red could be useful for signaling considering its brightness.<br \/>\nUnlike many &#8216;UV lights&#8217; the UC15 is a proper UV light using the 365nm wavelength. This has minimal blue light and appears very dim to the eye, until you shine it onto materials that fluoresce. This is particularly obvious with bank note security features. Only true UV brings out their colours and makes them glow brightly.<br \/>\nRated as IP54, I am slightly surprised that ACEBEAM have left the tail-cap without any kind of seal. It might be slightly splash proof, but it is not waterproof. Perhaps a keychain light is not that likely to get soaked (a car key might not like that), but it seems strange not to have a seal.<br \/>\nAdding the clip makes it more of a pocket light than a keychain light, but gives you that extra flexibility. With the clip open at the tail-end of the UC15, you can slide it onto the baseball cap peak to use it as a head-lamp. Fitting the clip itself is fiddly. The small screws don&#8217;t fit through the holes in the clip, so have to be tickled into position underneath the clip, and then tightened.<br \/>\nOverall the 2x AAA side-by-side configuration makes for a very ergonomic light to use, and with three different beams to choose from, the UC15 is a serious contender for your EDC.<\/p>\n<h3><b>Review Summary<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><b>_______________________________________________<br \/>\nThings I like<br \/>\n_______________________________________________<\/b><br \/>\nHigh CRI ~700lm output.<br \/>\nChoice of AAA or 10440 power.<br \/>\nChoice of output levels (based on cell choice).<br \/>\nWhite, Red and UV outputs.<br \/>\nGood UI (despite minor issue).<br \/>\nCan run on only one cell (as the two are used in parallel).<br \/>\nVery low parasitic drain.<br \/>\nNo Pulse Width Modulation.<\/p>\n<p><b>_______________________________________________<br \/>\nWhat doesn&#8217;t work so well for me<br \/>\n_______________________________________________<\/b><br \/>\n&#8216;Moon&#8217; mode is too bright.<br \/>\nMoon mode not memorised.<br \/>\nRed output very bright.<br \/>\nNot waterproof, only water resistant.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>Discussing the Review:<\/h4>\n<h5><i>The ideal place to discuss this reviews is on a forum.
