This guy is the reason I buy Nitecore products. He presents better than any other flashlight spokesman. Really shows how much they pay attention and try to make things better. Whatever they’re paying this guy it isn’t enough.

[@NitecoreSG]

Glad it helps! Appreciate the feedback 👍

[@twatmunro9563]

Yeah, this guy is good and all but I buy them because they're consistently the best lights on the market.

[@MrFowl]

I've had this light on my keychain for over a year and the screen, lockout modes, 200 lumen mode, plus USB-C charging make this the best light ever. Add to that a turbo mode at 500 lumens and it's an insanely good light.

[@mightyfinejonboy]

I got one and am very pleased with the performance and price. i think it shows the way with the display that gives output and run times, i suspect this will be adopted by flashlight manufacturers. There is one thing i would think is important to have on a future Tini 3 is there needs to be a very low level LED at the back or sides to see what key you have on your keychain. A single rotary barrel switch with push-button function would be nice too.

[@NakedPigeon]

[@amym6693]

I have just bought this light In my job I have to safety check vehicles at night so I need a good reliable light, I like to use a small pocket light attached to a chain on my belt loop so it’s always with me, the screen makes this light very useful. I am also regularly on the coastline at night and the screen is wonderful, if I know I have a 30 minute walk back in the darkness I can feel confident my light will last, truly wonderful feature. I however have 2 problems with this light. Firstly changing between demo mode and daily mode by holding both buttons down is a particularly bad feature for me. it took me 10 minutes to figure this out by trial and error. In a few months time I will accidentally put it in demo mode again and will have forgotten how to change modes, I find this incredibly annoying. Secondly the metal (I think it’s aluminium) casing, while metal could be seen as more premium it just means it will very quickly become scratched when it comes into contact with keys etc,. I keep my tiki le on a chain along with a small Swiss Army knife, the tiki is plastic and the knife has plastic scales , which means they don’t scratch each other. My tiki le with its plastic casing is much better to carry, in an emergency situation when you need both hands free it’s also much better to hold between your teeth, although this is probably not something nitecore would want to encourage.

[@robopam]

I still can't decide! Tip se, tup, tini2 the T4k to! I want one of each! I've used a Thrunight Archer 1A daily for years for working on machines. I wish the smallest light had a pocket clip.

[@flynlow4ever]

He quoted $69, but that’s in Singapore. It’s $39.95 in the USA. Nice little pocket light, but just a bit too small for my hand. The TIP SE is sized right, but no readout, button lockout, or charge port cover. The raised buttons would likely be a problem and using the cover would make it bulky for pocket carry. Maybe the next gen TINI or TIP will be right for me.

Thanks for the video. I'm amazed that he actually put the flashlight in water😉 . It's only IP54; meaning it's only protected from water spray! Maybe he should have looked up the meaning first. What he did will void the guarantee. So warning to whoever watched this video. Please avoid submerging this flashlight in water.

[@morganm1667]

Hey! I think the lighter, smaller form factor of the Tini 2 would make it the best choice for clipping to a cap without being a distraction from the style! If it doesn't have that ability, I hope the next gen iteration of the Tini line might allow to slide a clip on and off it. But for now, which of these comes with a clip that I can clip to a baseball cap visor or cross-body bag? Tip SE, or Tini 2 or both, or neither, in which case could you advise what Nitecore model best meets that need... Lightweight and small as possible being the priorities. Great video content and products by the look of it! TY and hope you're well! 👍

Hi it does not, the next closest is TUP or T4K, but those are much larger than the TINi2

[@victuringan1429]

Do you recommend this over other edc flashlights?

[@NitecoreSG]

depends on purpose, if you don't need something more longer lasting or brighter then this could work

[@Robert-cd5zr]

Great size and lumen ratio, wonder why there isn't a version designed to mount to a picatinny rail with momentary switch

[@FT4Freedom]

It works great velcroed to the plain side (L) of my shotgun receiver. I have a short shotgun with wood furniture and detest mounting lights on the barrel or mag tube. Decent application for just achieving target identification.

[@Slaegar]

I bought a TINI 2 recently and I am surprised at just how uhh *TINI* it is. A car fob dwarfs this thing. At the same time it puts out more light than most of my lamps if you go to *turbo* mode. I have a love for my Maglite Mini with the incandescent bulb, but that thing puts out 12 lumens with a widely dispersed beam. You could put a TINI 2 on your keychain and forget it's even there until the lights go out.

[@watosmate8935]

Find it crazy couldn’t imagine what the future holds

[@FLASH23x]

You forgot to mention the color temperature. It might help some people. I generally go for Cool white (5000k) for any light I get, even all the recessed lights in my home. So these disappointed me a little. Didn't mention it in the description of the product page on Amazon.

[@Lalitaditya100]

Ask anyone that carry’s basic EDC and they will always carry a flashlight and a knife. Why not combine both?

That’s quite impossible for the LED to die, it’s probably battery fault. Bring it back to your retailer to have it swapped

@@NitecoreSG Thanks for the prompt reply. It could well be. It was a pure guess on my part. Either way, only one of the two LEDs illuminates and screen shows that battery was at 4.20 volts. I have sent it back to where I purchased it for a refund. I'll keep using my TUBE until I decide which way to go as far as an upgrade.

[@aggaviriyo790]

I have a question. Why does T4K maxed out at 4K on turbo mode, but the second highest setting is only at 200 lumens? Is there any spesific thoughts behind this choice?

[@NitecoreSG]

The brightness modes at 200 lumens and under have tested and proven to be the most useful for small, edc keychain lights. The goal with the T4K is to push the limits of the turbo mode beyond 1k lumens so those that wanted more power than the TUP, can go for the T4K. If they had made the T4K have 1K or 2K lumens, then it won't make sense in the product line up to have 2 lights doing the same thing. And more turbo modes above 200 lumen would mean even more complex controls, eg stage 1 and stage 2 turbo? That would make it harder to use on a daily basis. Also on a marketing and competitive stage, nitecore can now claim to have the smallest and brightest, and engineering feat in itself. Hope it helps!

[@keithnorton5720]

The imalent ld70 is smaller and only uses 1 cree xhp 70.2 led 4000 lumens on turbo only downside is 20 lumens low mode no firefly mode unfortunately

Another cool offering. But will there ever be a Nitecore THUMB V2? Something a bit more premium around 150 lumens, small magnet somewhere on the clip, two modes no strobe and more body color options? I work on/in/under cars all day and the cheap $20 Nitecore THUMB gets the most use over my more expensive lights. The Streamlight 90627 Knucklehead comes in second; it's an excellent work light but I can't hold it in mouth (yes, we do that sometimes).

Most people like good quality products without the premise of having to throw them away for the sake of a battery. Maybe 1 or 2 of 10180 batteries.

[@mikeenslin3009]

@@ks-hg5vo most lights from nitecore have disposable and replacable batteries. It just not really possible in this small form factor. Once you try to do that it adds to the size of the light and makes the entire design obsolete. This is only a really cheap light as well and its easily gonna last anyone at least 5 years. And in 5 years the tech will be so far beyond the current one that most people are gonna buy at least one new light anyway.

I have the original tini, and I hate it. It constantly turns on in my pocket and goes flat, and no matter how many times I switch it into daily mode, it automatically reverts to demo mode and turns off after 30 seconds. Not sure this one would be any different.
