Nicron N7 Angle Flashlight Review!

Here is a very affordable budget flashlight from Nicron with their N7! This can run on both AA (250 lumens) or 14500 (600 lumens) cells. This uses a Samsung LED to provide up to 600 lumens. The head can be angled by 90 degrees. This also has a magnetic tail cap for easy placement on metal surfaces. See link below to Nicron's Amazon store below which this is priced at $13.99:

Hi Charles, my B74 has the green ring and you have to hold the button for a couple of seconds for it to switch on. I guess that’s to stop you bumping it on when it’s in your pocket. Great video. Cheers Stuart 🇦🇺

[@nitrorc4life1]

Another great bang for the buck flashlight, thank you for another great review video, liked so much, ordered 2 more. Even with primary AA it is good, with 14500 it is a little beast, I like it more then the lumnitop tool aa, (which is great in its self) N7 has a better beam color and pattern for me. I like the modern technology double AA lights of today, carry a 18650 less and less, 16340 size is my next favorite sze as of late, (wowtac W1 is killer at the price) Keep it up sir, your gonna nickel and dime me broke lol.

@@CharlesBridgTec love your reviews. One thing, the one I have (2 more on the way) the UI is slightly different. I have to hold button for a second to turn on and off. It also turns on in the brightness it was at when turned off, so has memory.

[@Madman6505]

Jeez for 13 bucks that seems like a pretty good deal to me. Rofis also has some very nice lights with the swivel head design, but they are a lot more expensive.

BridgTec you gotta get your hands on that Fireflies E07 6,900 Lumens Flood, Thrower combo, that little Giant looks Awesome, and do it for your reviews, because you do the best outdoor yard reviews, with the same Targets to light up.

[@BradGryphonn]

Funnily enough, I ordered one of these as well just yesterday. However, this time I did see a review on another channel of this before I bought it. The review prompted. So now I'm gonna get your take on it. I really like the features of this light and especially the price. It's costing me 50 Aussie dollars with express shipping from OS, but a lot of that was the shipping.

[@rottiuree]

Would have liked to see you test it with a regular aa battery for those who don't have 14500 batteries. Also, was the head hot with the 14500

[@CharlesBridgTec]

Yes it will get hot but cycle down quickly to keep heat low. Thanks for watching!

[@speedypaul2314]

Do the 14500 batteries require a specific mains wall charger different to the normal for AA batteries? And if poss what would be the best type to purchase for this N7. Thanks. :)

[@CharlesBridgTec]

XTAR VC4 or Nitecore i4 or D4 will do. Thanks for watching!

[@SoCalKev]

Hi Charles I believe this is the older model N7 the newer model has a glowing O Ring on the head and you have to press and hold for 2 seconds before turning it on.

[@CharlesBridgTec]

This review is old as well which I did almost 2 years ago. Thanks for watching!

[@3rdeyespy967]

You are correct, I just purchased an N7 and indeed it now has a glowing O-ring in the head of the flashlight around the lens, and you have to hold for a couple seconds to turn it on, I think the button has been upgraded as well...

[@albertpaoloawesome]

The N7 is sold now as the B74e in asia pacific markets. I found that the quality of the machining dropped when the light became popular. Mine and others arrived with a lot of dings on the handle. The paint is still intact, meaning the dents occured before the painting/aniodizing process during production. The B74 is a better buy since it has better QA than the newer N7's. Also there seems to be a thermal issue on the N7/B74e due to not having enough thermal paste applied for heat sinking.

[@CharlesBridgTec]

I nor any members of my FB group had any quality issues you described. Thanks for watching!

[@albertpaoloawesome]

@@CharlesBridgTec Maybe the QA is better on the products meant for the US market I guess :)

@@CharlesBridgTec I got the N81 shipped by Amazon from the US, the QA is so much better there (sample size of one) haha. I got to know it from your review and shared it to our facebook group. Everyone kept asking where I got it too bad it's not available in our country. The N81 can put out a floody beam which is good for a wider field of view in close proximity :)

[@anhb4203]

I have 2 units N7. One has the same UI as what you have shown, while the other one is different. Long press for ON, another long press for OFF. It turns ON from the last brightness setting you turned it OFF. Memory setting I guess. Strobe and SOS on double clicks. As i'm too lazy to read the manual, I don't know if this is really the case with these flashlights (mode 1 and mode 2)?

[@CharlesBridgTec]

Could be a different firmware batch of lights. Thanks for watching!

Hi , Just a fyi. I purchased the NIcron N7 after your good review and just kept it in the car as an emergency light. Never used it except testing it a few times. Did not drop it, expose it to water or anything adverse that could compromise the light. Now it doesn't work at all. Tried many new and rechargeable batteries and light has gone dead. Does not work! Not a good long term light. Build quality looks good but functionality is a failure. Waste of money..

@@CharlesBridgTec The funny thing is, the other Nicrons that are similar like the N7, have some kind of port that is kind of hidden and I was looking on the N9 somewhere on the outer ring and I was going nuts trying to figure it out.

only 1 hour burn time on high, and only 2 hrs on low ? no thanks

This is quite common for EDC lights. As for longer runtimes use a AA cell which is 2.5 hours on high but less output. Thanks for watching!
