Fenix PD26R ACE vs Fenix TK05R
Two compact 18350-class tactical lights, two different button philosophies. TK05R runs 1,000 lumens but throws 450 m — the longest reach in this size class — on the ARB-L18-1100 cell, 115 mm and 124 g, with a pure tactical dual tail switch: both on/off and mode selection live on the tailcap, so your thumb never leaves the tail in a shooting grip. PD26R ACE is actually the smaller and lighter of the two — 106 mm, 102 g — with a larger 1,600 mAh ARB-L18-1600 cell, 1,300 lumens to 354 m, and a hybrid control scheme: the tactical tail switch handles instant on/off and strobe, while a neck-mounted side switch cycles output levels. Both charge via USB-C in the light. Choose TK05R if you want pure tail-switch tactical control and maximum throw for weapon-mounted or defensive use; choose PD26R ACE if you want more lumens, longer runtime, and convenient side-switch mode cycling in a smaller package.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Fenix PD26R ACE rechargeable?
Yes. The PD26R ACE charges over USB-C via a hidden port under a silicone cover on the body tube, and a USB Type-C cable is included. The supplied ARB-L18-1600 18350 cell can also be swapped for a spare if you need to keep running in the field.
How long does the PD26R ACE run at maximum brightness?
Turbo (1,300 lumens) runs 1 hour 2 minutes, High (350 lumens) runs 2 hours 13 minutes, Medium (100 lumens) runs 8 hours 35 minutes, Low (30 lumens) runs 27 hours, and Eco (1 lumen) runs up to 556 hours on a single charge.
How bright is the PD26R ACE and how far does the beam reach?
Maximum output is 1,300 lumens with a 354-meter beam distance and a peak luminous intensity of 31,404 candela. The beam is tuned for duty and EDC use with a useful hotspot for distance and enough spill to keep close work readable.
Is the PD26R ACE waterproof?
The body is rated IP68 — sealed against dust and submersion beyond 1 meter of water. Impact rating is 1 meter, so it will take heavy rain, shallow wading, and routine drops on hard surfaces.
Does it have a tactical tail switch?
Yes. The PD26R ACE uses the ACE-family hybrid layout: a tactical tail switch for instant momentary on, constant on, and strobe, plus a hidden side switch on the neck for cycling through the five output levels and SOS. You keep tactical access without losing the lower modes for EDC work.
What comes in the box with the PD26R ACE?
One ARB-L18-1600 rechargeable 18350 battery, a USB Type-C charging cable, a belt holster, a lanyard, and two spare O-rings. No separate charger is needed — the light charges directly over USB-C.
