Frequently Asked Questions
Does it come with a battery?
Yes — the Rider RX 2.0 includes one ACEBEAM 14500 USB-C rechargeable Li-ion battery. You can charge it directly via the USB-C port built into the battery.
Can I use regular AA batteries?
Yes. The flashlight is compatible with standard Alkaline or Ni-MH AA batteries, making it easy to find a replacement anywhere when you're on the go.
How does the memory function work?
The Rider RX 2.0 remembers the last brightness level you used. When you turn it back on, it resumes at that mode — so you're never fumbling through settings in the dark.
Is the 1000-lumen mode continuous?
High mode runs at 1000 lumens for approximately 35 seconds, then steps down to 600 lumens to manage heat and protect the LED — a standard practice in high-output EDC lights. Total runtime on High is about 49 minutes after stepdown.
How waterproof is it?
The Rider RX 2.0 carries an IP68 rating, meaning it's fully dustproof and can be submerged in up to 6.5 feet (2 meters) of water for up to 30 minutes.
What does "fidget EDC" mean?
The dual-layer barrel is designed with tactile satisfaction in mind — the grip and feel of the flashlight make it a pleasure to carry and handle daily, similar to how some people enjoy the feel of a quality pen or multi-tool.
