Nitecore LA10 Review. An Ultra Portable Camping Lantern or Flashlight.

For the backpacker and hikers an ultra portable camp light it pretty useful. The Nitecore LA10 is a good choice for an ultra light portable backpackers lantern. It only takes up a little bit of space, and it can be used as a flashlight, a candle. or lantern- because of it's pop up built in diffuser. My review covers runtimes, brightness levels, lantern comparisons, and operation demonstration. This portable source of light is one of the most valuable pieces of gear in your pack.

At 4:10 you said 3.9 volts. For an AA? You're funny as usual. Or you weren't being funny but really made a mistake, thinking it was a Li-ion battery?

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

You know what’s weird? Less than two weeks apart I get this question from two people. The video has been out for years and rarely gets any comments- and up until now no one has ever pointed it out, or I would have added a correction in the description. Yes it’s a mistake. I should have said 1.5 volts.

[@anhb4203]

Just scrolled down the comments. Saw it. Asking where you got the 3.9V eneloops. And yeah you're the only reviewer who runs actual times on these lights. Appreciate all the effort for all these dimensions. Cheers from the Philippines bro!

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Thanks man! I pinned your comment in case anyone else brings it up.

[@btrswt35]

Dude you did a actual, real run time video. That's awesome!

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

+David Mm as far as I know I'm the only reviewer that does that. And I do it in all my videos. Thanks dude, and keep watching!

[@eiojgahum]

I will get one of that after my roadeavour arrives. THanks for the vid.

[@maniacse]

Thanks man, so far the best LA10 rewiev I see here. I think I ma gonna buy this little lantern.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

+Radoslav Gulik check out some of my other flashlight reviews too... they're all a lot like this

[@YesterdayMeetsToday]

I typically only take a headlamp with me but can see some benefit in this as a beacon to make it back from a night time bowel movement. Thanks for the review Knife Bro

[@Arizona9001]

Holy shit you are the best reviewer ever. I hope you do more. Reviews on everything! Subscribed

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Thanks man, I've got a lot posted since then!

[@Brian86992DH]

This is really well made and humorous. Thanks!

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

+Brian86992DH Thanks!

[@sanghwanyoon]

Great review, Thank You!!!

[@adeelhashmi3599]

Perfect review... Keep uploading more and more videos sir

[@paulsmith3266]

Good review, just bought this.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Yeah it ain't too shabby.

[@azazulbaz1077]

Best review !

[@DinnerForkTongue]

Given the IPX rating and the runtimes, I'm more partial to compromising a bit of size and the magnetic grip and packing a Thrunite T10 with the diffuser wand tip. Nice review, brah, really dig the humor and thorough information in a compact package.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

+Gunner193 fair enough. A better waterproof rating in my opinion is necessary for a rugged outdoor light.

[@costas2911]

excellent review hi from Santorini Greece

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Thanks!

[@yerbasuiza]

Very good review!

[@Aco747lyte]

Excellent video, and very factual for useful info. I like most of Nitecore products, though Olight flashlights are particularly good and well made, especially their 3200 lumen R50 Pro Seeker.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

+Aco747lyte yep... they make great lights too. I have reviewed quite a few of those.

[@FelipeSS11]

very good review

[@intelligent_61]

You are the best!!!

[@offroadrover]

Fair enough. I ended up buying the Fenix CL25R

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

+Moon Buggy that's a nice one!

[@SimpleAdventuresLLMSX]

Why can’t they make the LR12 like this too? I like the LR12 because it uses a 18650 battery but hate that flashlight lantern combo crap.

[@atbglenn]

I like your review, and I am subscribed to your channel

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

+Glenn Martin Thanks!

[@atbglenn]

BTW, I'm atbglenn on BLF :)

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

+Glenn Martin gotcha!

[@Enpassantful]

Good review, I suppose it is ok for inside a tent. The white light is a bit harsh, a yellow tint is easier on the eyes and better for reading etc. Maybe Nitecore will change the diffuser.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

+Joss Cues they make a warmer version called the CRI. I don't know the color temperature- but it's an option.

[@presterjohn71]

Looks like a good option for light camping maybe coupled with a Petzl or something similar

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Yeah. Tiny and light. We're going camping tomorrow and I'll take it along.

[@DinnerForkTongue]

vid pls Nah, just kidding.

[@dariocarafa3788]

the Lumen output seemed especially low compared to the manufacturer's I wonder if it had anything to do with the fact you did not pop the lipstick out and left it in

[@maxlobz9381]

Отличный обзор товарищ! 👍👍👍 Спасибо за твой труд,все понятно и наглядно. Привет из 🇷🇺

[@a2roland]

Thank You

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

No, thank you!

[@MichaelTravis12c27]

This one looks pretty useful.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

+Blue Mountain Bushcraft and Outdoors yeah... Good for a light use camp light.

[@offroadrover]

Hi. Why are you comparing this light at the 68lumen level and not 135lumens against the other lantern

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

+Moon Buggy Hi yes, good question. If you noticed earlier in the video where I said my figures (estimates) and Nitecores are side by side, it shows Nitecore says 135 lumens but my testing only showed 68. And then later in the video where I do comparisons those are my tested figures (shown earlier in the video), and not the manufacturers. I am one of the very few youtubers who actually fully test all of my lights, and if you've watched any more of my videos from about mid 2014 on they all follow this formula.

[@40belowful]

cool lantern:) I likey:)

[@michaelturner8406]

HULK FIST.... Nice review...

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

+Michael Turner I've had those things for probably 10 years or more now. Someone gave them to me a joke gift. I often wonder if they should be thrown out.

[@michaelturner8406]

I have them also... What's really weird... They sit on top of my book shelf? Great Channel...

[@EricJCaraballoso]

Might not be the best place to ask this, but you seem to mess with batteries enough.. Where do you get your 18650's at? I'm hearing a lot of different stuff from a lot of different brands and idk who to trust.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Panasonic, Sanyo, LG, and Sony make decent batteries. I usually order from Illumn.com or Mtnelectronics.com. All of the batteries they carry, even if they aren't the brands I mentioned above are good. I usually order from MtnElectronics though. At the bottom of every page they have some info about each battery and what they're good for.

[@EricJCaraballoso]

***** Thanks a lot!

[@badimpulses17]

Will this work on a 14500 battery?

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

+manifest 73 nope

[@dustinhollingshead9482]

Where you finding these 3.9V eneloops?

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

I’m not- it was a mistake. Appreciate the comment.

[@d-c-g6525]

What's that thing over your a/c vent?

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

I think it was an air freshener.

[@d-c-g6525]

Advanced Knife Bro LOL I thought it was a fancy motion senser light

[@huejanus5505]

I think the strobe mode is there so night time poopers can find their way back to camp before the battery craps out.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Don't forget the U-Dig-It!

[@captron7250]

Nothin better than a good ol vault toilet

[@daffawiratama5637]

When you do MH27 review ?

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

+Daffa Wiratama probably won't do one. There's a ton of KZbin reviews on that one already. I don't have the time right now for this one- although it seems to be a pretty sweet light.

[@daffawiratama5637]

Advanced Knife Bro but nothing like you

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

I'd like to review everything... but I'm only one guy!

[@ComUnSas]

Deserves a second like for the Star Trek IV reference

[@ComUnSas]

Hmm, an interesting alternative to fashioning a diffuser out of a finely shaved squirrel pelt. But I like using my knife...

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Or if you're in the city a rat pelt might work too.

[@davemz999]

That's pretty amazing. You made it all the way to 2:44 without saying "shaft". I guess, in fairness it's a bit stubby. Very nice review though.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

+davemz999 it was hard... But it shows self control. Huh huh... Hard

[@marshalllaw123]

Way to work that shaft though

[@davemz999]

***** Nothing worth doing is ever easy. Huh huh...Worth doi... ok, that's bad.

[@dextercharles4269]

hmm it looks ok, but its not really much more than a regular flashlight with a good diffuser. yes, versatility is good. but honestly i would prefer a lantern like the fenix cl25r, much more real lantern options with that one.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

+Dexter Charles Yeah basically. Plus you could get a light with an IPX8 rating and it would be better in the elements.

[@BAD_CONSUMER]

That's a lot of BluRays

[@garywillis8737]

LOL "...the LA10 is for someone who has little space and wants less lantern..."

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

+Gary Willis so I got a chance to use it for real camping twice this weekend. The low mode is plenty as a dome light in the top of the tent. If you need a lot more light than 10 or 30 lumens... And you need it several nights... Then keep looking.

[@garywillis8737]

Good one. Thanks for update. I find the magnetic attachment quite handy. Might order one if they are on offer. I have plenty of Eneloop AA.

[@garywillis8737]

Don't forget about the Olight X7 Marauder. Apparently it can do 9,000 lumen on turbo!

I can't tell if you're cooking meth or brewing mead in your basement..

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Close! Advanced Meth Bro.

[@bxutuber]

Translucent aluminum 💀

[@damaylaphoenix1155]

translucent isn't affordable ? why would you want a clear lens. the object is to illuminate a wide area with soft light. the frosted lens acts as a diffuser. imagine being in a tent and something making noise outside. you have the clear lens . your turn it on. and look at it. 140 unfiltered lumens hit you in the eye. now you look out the tent you cant see nothin cuz you temporary blinded yourself. get it?

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

It was a joke.... there is no such thing as translucent aluminum. You're reading way too much into the comment. To be fair I should have said opaque. I understand how lenses and diffusers work- I have dozens upon dozens of flashlights, lanterns, and headlamps- many of which are reviewed on the channel.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Also translucent doesn’t mean clear. I take back my second guessing- translucent is the appropriate word. Look up the word. But also- it was a joke.

[@damaylaphoenix1155]

my bad , I thought you where talkn about the lens and was trying to bash nitecore. but still why would you want a translucent aluminum body ? than it could not be use as a flashlight. If you need more light just get the nitecore lr10 . PS. they could make a translucent polycarbonate body like the EA42 that just as strong as aluminum .

[@damaylaphoenix1155]

I'm joking too! get it?

[@pyromaniac1491]

Great review! Send me your Coleman lantern and I'll get it running like new for you. I'm a long time subscriber. Checkout my channel when you get a chance.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

+Angry Daddy Bird I think I have one or two not working. I'll check out some more videos soon... I've watched a few. Great channel man- I need to get some of my stoves up and running again. Haven't camped much this year or last year unfortunately.

[@pyromaniac1491]

Advanced Knife Bro Yes same here. Got injured and this last year been unable to hike or camp. I collect lanterns and have tons of parts. Also restore them so if you ever want them running or need parts let me know. Offer stands. I can fix them all if you want. Take care bro!

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Thanks man!

[@easylife537]

Looks like lipstick to me.
