100k lumens? Nuclear LEDs?! I bought a bunch of fake lights to show you how to NOT get scammed

As a buyer or customer, how do you know what #flashlight #marketing is real? What brands are legit? How does 1000 lumen really look like? Are the reviews real? How can I tell when everything looks the same?
So to help put these questions to rest I bought 4 of the most popular “fake lights” on the platform and did an unboxing to compare them against their claim.
In this video I'll show you how online #scammers work, and at the same time reveal 2 things that you can look out for, that will help you see through all the nonsense and get your money's worth.
If you know someone who's shopping for a light, send them this video so they don't get scammed. They'll thank you after :)

My dad was so proud of himself when he got a 20.000 lumen light for €12 or so, while my 4000 lumen Acebeam had cost around €100. Made me look like an idiot at dinner for spending so much, then we went outside and you can guess what happened. I don't think the thing he got was even 200 lumens while I was fully lighting up a tree 100 metres away. To add insult to injury, I later found that exact the light on Aliexpress for €4. It was one of those lights you find under 100 different brand names and as many spelling errors in the advertisements, but they are all just clones of the same piece of trash made out of 100% chinesium.

As some other have mentioned, there are good quality, inexpensive flashlights. Convoy S2+, S11, Sofirn SP32A or SP33v3. Some of them deliver way more than 2000lm for under 40 Dollar. They are perfectly suited for everyone, who just needs a flashlight, to have a flashlight. And if you you have a more special usecase, i strongly suggest, that you check forums like the Budgetlightforum and ask for suggestions. And while nitecore certainly is a good brand, they aren't perfect for anyone nor anything. And buying by brand is always stupid.

Excellent. Very educational and you helped me a LOT! Thank you for making this video! I truly appreciate it!

[@cue03]

Nice vid. Thanks. However the ANSI standard is not the best representation for flashlights especially when it comes to runtime. It does not take into account how the output of the light actually behaves over the runtime. There should be runtime vs output graphs included with lights. Then you will be able to really tell how your lights including tactical lights behave over time. Some lights claim 1800 lumens and is only 1800 lumens for 1 min then drop down to 800 lumens for a 2hrs then drops down to 200 for 1 hour then to 180. ANSI standards would say 1800 lumens and runtime would be 3 hours. But the consumer believes they have an 1800 lumen flashlight for 3 hours which they do not. In reality they have an 1800 lumen light for 1 min. Companies should strive for better and provide real/truthful graphs.

[@chrisspain6780]

Nitecore was the brand that got me into flashlights, my dad bought me a P12 about 6 years ago for my birthday and I've carried it nearly every day since. I have plenty more modern flashlights and gimmicky flashlights but I always end up with the old Nitecore for work because it's just so rugged and the patina is awesome 😎 I need to pick up a new Nitecore with a 21700 and a neutral white beam if there is such a thing

Owned Klarus Xt11 for years. Time to switch to Nitecore. Awaiting the shipment of P20i🔦 🚨🚒🚑

[@stollyfiles]

My trusty Surefire C2 has never let me down but I thought I'd get something a little cheaper to run, I ordered an i4000r (NOT direct) but it didn't show up so bought a P20i incase the 4000 did ever show. I can say I have also bought a few other pretty damn good lights but overall the P20i is my go-to right now, the instant access to turbo & strobe is a winner for a start, who want's to cycle through modes or have to have the light on before being able to access turbo!? I want turbo when my eyesight picks up something I feel needs 'looking at', then I want INSTANT full power, the P20i does this better than any other light I own. It's not the brightest, or the longest thrower BUT if you wan a decent tactical light you can't do a lot better IMHO. --- As to the video above slating battery holders when they provide them with some of their own lights all-beit for CR123s & not AAAs and giving the reason being for a lack of 'voltage' is a little misleading, not enough current maybe. Also about time people trying to sell lights stop with the lumen blag & start providing better candela data when comparing lights, it's not all about brightness, we need/want to know about intensity. *I have an Acebeam L17 (TIR lens) & I'm impressed with the throw on that.

He has right when he is speaking about those flashlights from Aliexpress, 99% of them are crap,but there is another 1% where you can really buy cheap and good flashlight, I have some of them. Another part are batteries, for example Nitecore 3400 mah, about 20 usd, it is rewrapped unprotected Panasonic 18650B (3 usd), and protection board (0.50 usd), so they pump the price 5 times to the cell, greedy.

I believe the SP35 has a 363-yard throw compared to the P20i's 375; pretty darn close; that said, the SP35 doesn't have a tail switch, spring-mounted battery, stainless steel head, or ceramic glass breaking tips which make the Nitecore, by far the superior torch. Still, for the average Joe looking for something to use around the house, or maybe camping, the SP35 at $38 is a heck of a deal.

[@gleamywolfspirit8181]

Before I know Nitecore, I bought a lot of stupid lights. I bought one the same as the fourth one shown in the video, which has four blue battery indicators near the button. They use xhp70.2 and can produce more than 1000lm when turned on. The problem of those lights is they dim after about 5 minutes, becoming less than 200lm. There is no circuit design or anything, and the light does not even get hot. They only use those simple MOSFETs to supply some current, and there is no heatsink for those chips .I guess it is because thoes chips get hot. Some of the fake lights may also have some thermal conductive silicone on those chips, but this "four blue battery indicators" does not. Another point to make is that those fake ones are big, heavy, and blocky. There is no mean to carry such a big chunk around. In addition, I also measured the capacity coming from those fake lights, they usually measure less than 600mAh, and the Nitecore charger indicates poor for them, as their internal resistence are >=0.5Ω.

[@gleamywolfspirit8181]

I am actually very impressed by how hot those Nitecore lights, and some other good brand lights, get. Although I did not measure it, other KZbin channels did. They reach more than 100℃. They manage to push the LEDs to their limit without crashing them. I mean I crashed many LEDs myself. It is hard to manage without specialized manufacture level design.

After seeing ur vid im positive that ill find my next treasure there🥰😁

@@NitecoreSG prefer to go to shop rather than online😁

@@NitecoreSG Do u guy do repair? I think some of my nitecore needs to be repaired. Been years already😅

Do not be deceived by the specs or the prices, the truth is at the reliable brand, you should Invest each dollar in the high quality items. But in case you want something for a short time, buy those cheap goods. camping and emergency equipment and important work, the original items are works great when you need it.

[@harisyoung4110]

just need to buy a right brand if need a cheap light.. go with sofirn or convoy brand if want a cheap under $40 light.. it outperform a nitecore in term of brightness especially the sofirn sp33 model for only $30.. dont buy any no brand chinese zoomable light, all zoomable light is a crap.. go with reflector or tir lens light that sofirn and convoy sell for cheap.

What if the package of Nitecore Flashlights is in Chinese language? Is it legit?

[@Abufast]

Hey I just came across astrolux flashlights it is worth buying.

[@NitecoreSG]

If you ask me, I’d stick to proven brands to save you future headaches like warranty and reliability. You should also look at distributors for local support. You don’t want to buy a random brand and it arrives dead and you have to one to go to.

@@NitecoreSG Thanks a lot for the info.

[@aussie8114]

very Nice My Friend 👍🖤

[@metcaelfe]

Can I please buy that SRT7?? Pleeease! It's all I'm missing in my SRT collection 😭😭😭 I need to find a Revenger!!!

[@harrison00xXx]

Its a very good light. Im owning a SRT3 and SRT7 and both are awesome. Nowadays i see them only as relics of a better time in my vitrine because they are overhauled already, sadly.

[@metcaelfe]

@@harrison00xXx I have the SRT7GT but I want the Revenger for the tri RGB LEDs, just feels more fancy and you don't see that in many models that have decent output power.

[@AlrekArinbjorn]

Stuff like this is why you never want to buy flashlights on amazon. Not only do they not know what they're selling, but what you buy on amazon isn't always what they send you when it comes to stuff like this.

[@CheezusHGrist]

You can buy Zebralight on amazon

[@TheTrailDancer]

Yeap, those box with Chinese character made for Chinese market. If you want English character print on the box, yon can check the reviews with pictures from each seller, just bought a P10IX from Lazada and SRT 7GT from Shopee both printed in English.
