Is this the best tactical light in 2020? Nitecore P20i (1800 lumens) First look!

[@danielmarobin4696]

Hello good day! I want to make 3 contributions. But first, congratulate everyone at Nitecore for the excellence in equipment, they are of the highest quality and very effective for police activity. I am a state military in Brazil and use Nitecore products daily. About the P20i I have 3 points to make: 1) The holster that comes with the flashlight does not have proper fixation, then the flashlight falls and compromises police action, you should include the NTH25 holster with the flashlight. 2) The P20i does not have a place for fixing a sling or loop for the operator to keep it fixed in his hand in case he needs to operate a malfunction in his weapon. 3) The clip-on ring does not have adequate fixation on the body of the flashlight and in a faster or stronger action the flashlight has come loose and gone to the ground. Anyway, these are just contributions that don't take away the quality that the P20i has, but it's something for you guys to think about in terms of improvements to the model. Regarding the functionalities of the secondary switch (the strobe), the ideal would be that it was also configured to activate, instead of the strobe, the light beam of lower power, something much more important and useful in a police intervention that often requires "discipline of lights " and it is not suitable to use strobe beams or flashes or at 1800lm power. Here's the tip. Big hug.

[@mahmudsolayman]

Looks like u have got experience with the lights.please tell me Which one is the best model from your point of view.

[@danielmarobin4696]

@@mahmudsolayman Good morning mate! thank you so much. I am a police officer in Brazil and a shooting instructor for police officers. I currently wear a Nitecore P20i on my belt. The best flashlight will depend on the purpose or job you will be doing it. there are excellent brands and models that meet every operational need. The most important thing is that the flashlight has a simple interface, offers strength, durability and quality. For general police activity, the P20i has proven to be very good. I really like Armytek's dobbermann... For use in rifles with distant targets, prefer LEP flashlights. Strong hug

[@OGBladeReviews]

Received my P20i yesterday from the Nitecore Store. Best tactical light , ever! You're Review hits all the points, and then some, on this light's features. Very well engineered!

I was going to buy the P22R today, after having a discussion with someone from Nitecore and watching this video (after doing some research of course) I've decided to buy this particular light. Thank you so much for producing such a fantastic video with so much useful information. Great information, no fluff or games, and very high production value.

[@carlostovar8585]

I got the p22r when it first came out. Before I didn’t know about candela or anything

[@learnshareevolve1842]

I have been carrying the Klarus XT1C. It is an excellent, compact small EDC light w good controls, but it creates a photonic barrier against road signs outside at night. Also, it has no impact bezel, which the P20i appears to have perfected. Granted P20i is larger, but completely within size/wt for my EDC.

[@akashacine87]

hi wana to ask how to change the buttun.. cnt press

The Nitecore EA45S is by far the best law enforcement flashlight. Unfortunately, it is discontinued but you can still buy it online.

[@sdsviet]

what i would love is a smaller form factor of this one for more edc carry. its nice to have a small edc light that has the tailswitch that is also strobe ready mode switch as well. pretty much a short version of this is perfect.

Hello, I just purchased a P20i and found that the strike bezel is not stainless steel or hardened steel, as a magnet will not stick to it. I picked mine up from the "Nitecore Store" here in the US, based out of Texas. Please explain, as it's definitely not steel of any kind.

And when will there be new release of updated versions or replacement flashlights to the i4000r & P22r & tm9k & tm03 & CI7 ?

Olá, bom dia! Quero fazer 3 contribuições. Mas antes, parabenizar a todos da Nitecore pela excelência nos equipamentos, são de altíssima qualidade e muito eficazes para a atividade policial. Sou militar estadual no Brasil e uso os produtos Nitecore diariamente. Sobre a P20i tenho 3 colocações a fazer: 1) O coldre que acompanha a lanterna não possui fixação adequada, seguidamente a lanterna cai e compromete a ação policial, vocês deveriam incluir o coldre NTH25 com a lanterna. 2) A P20i não possui local para fixação de um fiel ou laço para o operador manter ela fixa a sua mão caso precise operar uma pane em sua arma. 3) O anel clipado não tem fixação adequada no corpo da lanterna e em uma ação mais rápida ou forte a lanterna tem se soltado e ido ao chão. Enfim, são apenas contribuiçoes que não tiram a qualidade que a P20i tem, mas é algo para vocês pensarem em termos de melhorias no modelo. Sobre as funcionalidades do switch secundário (o strobo) o ideal seria que ele fosse também configurado para acionar ao invés do strobo, o feixe de luz de menor potência, algo muito mais importante e útil em uma intervenção policial que seguidamente exige "disciplina de luzes" e não é adequado usar feixes ou flashes de strobo ou na potência de 1800lm. Fica a dica. Grande abraço.
