NITECORE P20i tactical USB-C rechargeable flashlight review

[@FLASHAHOLIC_TV]

Big saving on the NITECORE P20i here using discount code: BGP20I - www.banggood.com/custlink/3D3yLmaVnj *** If any of my discount codes have ended let me know in the comments and I'll replay with a new code ASAP ***

[@AFHE_Tech]

Nice discount. $25 less than I can buy it on Amazon. Just have to pay a small shipping fee and wait longer. I'll take that deal.

[@mr.wallace4193]

Can this light use the 2150 HPI 5000mah battery like it's floody sibling p20ix ?

[@mace_3657]

You got a new code mate ?? I’m after this flash light ??

OUTSTANDING review!! Excellent labelling of each flashlight & each scene throughout, along w cogent evaluation!

[@chriskemp2121]

Very helpful review. Wasnt expecting the sound track lol

[@clementkooza]

What a nice spot it has! Great review as always bruv.

[@muhammadyudhaperwira6178]

I have this and Klarus XT21X Pro and I can say that this light is more practical than Klarus, especially for its quick draw holster (I got many compliment from my friends because of this). Tint on P20i quite neutral white for me compare to the XT21X Pro. Having extra lumens on XT21X Pro didn't seems so useful. I guess 1800 lumens on P20i is perfect balance between throw and flood. Anyway I bought XT21X Pro because I look flashlight that has tactical switch, side switch and special button for strobe. I just have one issue with P20i which is the hook on its quick draw holster is not sturdy enough and seems fragile. I have occasionally drop the holster due to it cannot firmly attached to my belt.

Este modelo memorisa os modos ?

[@tobiasr.6903]

What a good comparison! Great, thanks!

[@Texasprepper]

Excellent review...you should have used the strobe light on the "neighborhood watch"...and then vanished like a ninja!

[@AFHE_Tech]

This is the only flashlight that I can find that I would consider a true dedicated "Tactical" flashlight. It was designed by Nitecore specifically for police and military use.

[@FluttuantChicken]

Eagtacs are amazing too, dedicated tactical flashlights.. I just received one, shipping time was very long tho

[@renexwing1546]

And the P10i👌

[@newhuskytwenty]

Wrong. I got the Fenix TK11 TAC (18650 battery) and PD36 TAC (21700) for that same use.

[@AFHE_Tech]

@@newhuskytwenty Sorry, I have the Fenix PD36R and it is not Tactical in the sense that the only way to go straight to Turbo is to pre-stage it. That's a no go for me. For Tactical purposes, I want a button that takes me straight to Turbo every time no matter what mode that flashlight was left in the last time someone used it

can you try the new one P20IX

[@alfa803]

Hello! My question is, which is the best 21700 battery?

[@BrightOnFlashlight]

I have that's too. But, we cant use other batteries 😅😅nice👍🏻👍🏻

[@Gieszkanne]

Were did you get that kelvin rating? I cant find it on their homepage.

[@likeris2]

can you activate 1800 power with "mode" button when mid light on? I know you can do this on P20ix model.

[@ThatCrazyRCGuy67]

I LIKE MINE...JUST THERE CLIPS ARE POOPY NOW....TINT ISNT GOOD ON THE LOW MODES..BUT WITH THAT LED..IT IS WHAT IT IS..

[@FLASHAHOLIC_TV]

I presume its 6500K but it looks 5700ish next to the Convoy 6500K.

[@ThatCrazyRCGuy67]

[@ThatCrazyRCGuy67]

[@carlogasmin3685]

Kudos sir!! 👊🏾

[@kellycook4230]

I think that you can make it so that it doesn't start out in "turbo".

[@Frazzy87]

Not the P20i - it doesn’t have the “mode memory”, on purpose as it is designed to be purely a tactical light

[@cyberfreak7698]

Nice video. Can you compare to Nitecore P10i, please?

[@FLASHAHOLIC_TV]

Up to Nitecore!

[@littleacorn98]

[@pandamodz896]

Great Video 🔥🔥👏👏💯

[@prb9013]

Is there a decent EDC / tactical torch with a decent lumen level in High, that doesnt actually step down after a few minutes?

[@FLASHAHOLIC_TV]

You'll usually get 2 mins on most 1000+ lumens tactical lights. Some 26650 lights can sustain high mode but they are borderline edc.

[@NarowAR07]

Fenix pd36r ... supposedly close to 6 hours on 800 lumen...

[@andyb6120]

How comes you didn't get a olight batton 3 to review? KZbin is flooded with reviews.

[@FLASHAHOLIC_TV]

I'm guessing Olight weren't impressed with the reviews I did for them 😕

[@andyb6120]

That is oh so unfair .Your videos are Simply the best! Cheers for the review on the MF05. Got one and love it. Everyone wants to get a selfie holding it!

@@andyb6120 lol

[@reginaldchristopher9918]

Hello! Thanks for the video. One question.. what do you mean with "it can't use other 21700 batteries, charge is slow"? If I use liito Kala charger and non-nitecore 21700 that would still be okay right?

[@FLASHAHOLIC_TV]

It's a custom cell

[@MYTOYMAKERZ]

My litecore D2 charger charges this battery in just under 2 hours if it’s totally dead. My charger is the nitecore D2. I think I paid about 20 dollars for my charger about 3 years ago. Regardless in my opinion anyone using these expensive batteries should have a good charger that will discharge and recharge batteries as needed. Plus it chargers 2 at a time I could have also purchased one that charged 4 at a time. Thank You

[@likeris2]

do this light doing step down from 1800lm to 1050lm?

[@yovanleonardo9135]

i think like other nitecore's flashlight, this have 2 modes right? tactical which turn on at high - mid - low. and the like daily mode is in a reverse order?

[@DeathPorky]

Nope, this is a dedicated tactical flashlight. It doesn't even have any mode memory so other modes is out of the question

[@thecauseforchrist7133]

You are partially right, daily mode has memory at whichever you last left it, tactical mode always turns on at high.

[@Madman6505]

DeathPorky is right, the P20i is tactical only. The P20ix, however is a flood light version of the P20i that does have the ability to switch to a daily mode with memory.

[@MonikAgo100]

Hello, I have this flash light and I bought a new battery, this battery is 21700, code NL2140R USB C 4000mAh. It is not working. I charged it and the light turned green but the flash light doesn't turn on. Who can help me please?

[@bulletsandserenades]

Good review. It was meant to be a tactical light for police or self defense use to instantly blind an adversary

[@likeris2]

This one not good for blinding. For blinding need bigger flud.

[@michaelsmith5070]

@@likeris2 someone comes at you in the dark, I don't think it matters what torch it is as long as it strobes!

[@funnyguy218]

Can you review the P30i and the MH25S?

[@Q.Q.]

Curious: are the run-times you list the manufacturer's stated times or your own measured run-times? Thanks.

[@FLASHAHOLIC_TV]

Manufacturers claims, I only measure Turbo really, over 10 mins. If I end up reviewing full time I might do the entire runtime from Turbo/High.

[@Q.Q.]

​@@FLASHAHOLIC_TV -- Another question, if it's all right. What's the ONE light that you find yourself gravitating toward when you're just heading out, not to test anything specific? No backpack or anything to carry it in, just you heading out with the light "on your own person" (awkward phrase to use, it always seemed to me, but...). Just purely for convenience, utility, usefulness, usability, whatever, that makes you pick that particular light over all the others more often than any other. And then, perhaps, why. BTW, if you were ever interested in doing something like this, perhaps something like "my 10 (or however many) most favorite, in order, and why," and, then, conversely, "my 10 least favorite, in order, and why," it would be instructive and interesting to know, since I haven't come across anyone who has had as much experience with so many different lights, and, more importantly, who is as obviously passionate and discerning/exacting about the hobby/subject.

[@FLASHAHOLIC_TV]

@@Q.Q. I like to reach for the IF25 at the moment, just a wonderfully balanced light in every way. Compact, not too bright that It'll draw unwanted attention or get red hot and drain batteries too fast. The tint is variable so in a way it's like I'm carrying a 1000 lights. The beam is perfect too, not too floody or throwy.

[@Q.Q.]

@@FLASHAHOLIC_TV -- Great, thanks.

[@Q.Q.]

@@FLASHAHOLIC_TV -- If the IF25A retained the IF25's variable tint capability, would you still choose the IF25? (So, the IF25A would have the greater "power" [higher lume], Anduril, AND the variable tint.)

@Ben Dover Yeah, but you should always be prepared, you never know. Go check Convoys, C8+ and S2+.

[@Zar_Kaminari10]

Ok i have a question, it has a battery and you can charge it by USB-C, does this mean that you never have to rebuy a new battery (unless it breaks) since you can like recharge it by the USB-C? Not like with the P20 V2 where you need a battery and a charging device for the batter

[@FLASHAHOLIC_TV]

Yes, though some recommend getting a new battery after 4 years or so.

M2R pro vs P20i please

[@Thrael72008]

Bought the Fenix PD36R and then I realised it was only worth it for the great battery included. Could 've gotten the p20i for the same money. Ofc they have slightly different use.

[@newhuskytwenty]

I got the PD36 TAC, in my opinion a better choice than the PD36R and 2k lumens on tactical mode and 3k on duty mode. Both more than the 36R on turbo.

[@Flash363]

If the cycle was L-M-H it would've been perfect imo. Is there user programmable modes?

You should probably plaster a big warning on the screen before using the strobe on these lights. Some people have issues with that.
