Nitecore P23i 3000 Lumen Flashlight Review

[@MrsFearEstate]

Bought my husband a tactical flashlight for Christmas. That thing is awesome

[@SensiblePrepper]

Great Gift! : )

[@Jammerjim]

I love the TM9K TAC light. That bad boy is one of the best tactical lights in the market. Olight and Nitecore are the 2 lights I get the most.

[@SensiblePrepper]

Hard to beat either one. Thanks Jim!

[@annalisa14]

How much DOES IT COST in American dollars?

[@Jammerjim]

@@annalisa14 between 135.99 and 160.00. Depends if someone has a sale.

[@pramagli]

Excellent review, as usual. I already owned this flashlight and just ordered one for my daughter. She walks her dog at night and the flashlight that she has been using is a 4 AAA battery type that is horrible. I want her to have a real flashlight. Thanks for your great videos.

[@JasonSpitzMI50]

I've watched many of your reviews on multiple products and I can honestly say the test you put them through and they survive would be considered a good product to purchase.

[@NightFly216]

The only thing I would change about this light would be the fact that it fires on 3000 lm in tactical mode, it would be much more efficient if it fired on 1500 lumens and again use the mode paddle to go to a momentary 3000 if needed. If I’m using this light as a duty light, 3000 lumens is actually way to much light for initial activation, 1500 is way more than enough. The 3000 lumens is nice if you want to scan a field, vacant lot or alley way but it is not intended for extended use; the battery simply will not support that level of light for very long at all. Otherwise it’s a pretty solid and well thought out light in every other way. Great review, thanks for posting.

[@davidhawkins847]

That model is available as a weapon light package too. Its on my to buy list for a rifle. Its got one of the higher candela for considerably less then a Cloud or ModLite, yet in the same price range as the Streamlight.

Faraway Prepper just posted a video after a half a year break from KZbin. Let’s support the kid to boost his confidence. His mom and brother passed away during the winter.

[@brandonreyes8748]

Gotta say nitecore is killing it love the design

[@bogoljubdjordjevic7528]

I have P20 max 800lum super happy awesome light and that mode button is best thing

[@happyamerican3235]

Nitecore has some cool stuff and it’s a step above most as far as features and design. You should do some reviews of their power banks and headlamps. Lots of cheap power banks out there and more and more things are becoming USB cord chargeable. Using a power bank to charge batteries for weapon lights and phones/radios is a handy backpack item.

[@johnsteele8073]

Usually the Nightcore Blue light is an actual voltage indicator the first time you put the battery in it'll blink 4 times and then blink 2 times to show 4.2 volts. Anytime you want to check the state of charge of your battery just unscrew the cap and screw it back in and it'll blink you the current voltage

[@NITECOREWORLDWIDE]

Thank you for the great review!

[@happyamerican3235]

You guys should send him more stuff. He could do a segment on your solar panels to charge your power banks to charger your lights and spare batteries. Thanks

[@searchBLOC941]

Thanks, now I've gotta spend more money. 😂 I've been looking for a super powerful small light for duty. I'm running the Streamlight HLX5 right now, and it's much longer than this. I also pocket carry the Wedge, and have on a shoulder strap an Olight iT5 Plus for paperwork, walking in the dark, and when I wanna see hands through windows when I walk up to occupied vehicles. But a small maneuverable high output light is next on the list.

[@l.robertvandyke4398]

Thanks

[@SensiblePrepper]

Thanks for stopping by Robert!

[@MrLandphill]

nice looking light

[@alexisgaud]

Excellent review dude, i want one

[@Blake875]

I just bought one. I like it a lot, but it emits a very low level of light in the fully “off” mode. It’s noticeable, for example, in my bedroom at night.

[@brianlevandowski3167]

The 20Xi model has a ultra low 2 lumen output, the 23i ultra low is 50 Lumen But I’m most all the modes it has double+ the candela rating.

[@kkrzyzaniak]

Slim Nitecore P10iX it's perfect for me.

[@brendahunt7478]

Good Morning

Good morning Brenda!

Extreme bright lights have their place. In MOST situations those lights are a hazard. If they are too bright, your location is given away. That is why I like low lumen lights. Only shine up the area I need without giving up my location. Maybe in the barn I need more light. Not if I am looking for an adversary. Why let them know where I am. I can still see a lot uses for this light. That belt clip is junk. Put the light on you left side and get in and out of a truck with seat belt use. After ten or so tries the light get caught and fall off.

[@pneuma7183]

No such thing as a light that is too bright. Worrying about giving your location away is a myth. If your light was only 5 lumens, you’re still going to give your location away. Having a bright light so you can SEE and IDENTIFY your subject is the most important thing when it comes to the utilization of white light.

[@sinclairpages]

@@pneuma7183 Not totally true. Extreme bright light pin points you exact location and blows out your night and peripheral low light vision. Using low light saves some of your natural night vision. Yes bright light illuminates the target area but it ruins you low light vision. You need to cover all areas not just in the light beam. That is why a flash bang grenade was developed. The light blinds the opponent and the bang disorients them. I will always use lower power light sources.

[@pneuma7183]

@@sinclairpages keep doing you, bro. It’s obvious you have zero experience utilizing white light when needing it to process information, i.e. identifying what someone is holding in their hands. Lumens = information. The more lumens my light is outputting, the more information I can gather. Stop watching KZbin videos and go take an updated tactical low-light class one of these days.

[@sinclairpages]

@@pneuma7183 OMG I am sorry I didn't realize you are the GOD of all knowing everything and everyone must follow you, SFTU

[@jeramiahmcneece9992]

Great video. I was wondering if you could do a video on milk. I city prep so don't room for goats. Is there a way to store long term milk.

[@50kArchipelagos]

It's strictly tactical for sure. Turning on that blue tint super fluorescent color at 3000 will transport you to a Walmart shopping floor at light speed. I'm always amused to see those lights with a 1 meter drop rating being advertised shown on a hat bill, 6 ft. up. Whoa! Don't claim warranty on dropping that one removing it from your cap (hehe). So I like this one's impact rating. Also if it comes on in Turbo on first click that's night defense perfect. Great throw distance where you'd want that "white" light. I'll hope for availability in neutral and sacrifice throw. 470m on this. Unexpectedly the 4000 lumen model is less at 221m.

[@brianlevandowski3167]

Lumens are more important for a flood type light for wide dispersion like the 20Xi, this 23i is a narrow beam for max distance with way more Candela rating. Both have a different purpose but same use in the same size build.

[@mrs.rogers7582]

Olight has a 4,200 lumen flashlight that is awsome!

[@jackbauer9077]

Love nitecore and fenix lights! They are my favorite but surefire is my favorite.

[@augustpacholl6114]

Hi SensiblePrepper - I found your channel today and subscribed. Do you have any advice on the type of generator to buy in case everything goes down? I live in AZ, therefore, is there something that can keep the AC running? Thank you

[@subaruforester5062]

Do a review of the cloud defensive mch hc light

[@eugene2036]

There is a dark spot in the center of the beam at 4:51. It seems like some poeple have this on their light and others don't. Is this a defect?

[@mr.rem2609]

I just bought the nitecore Mh12 pro. Looking at the MH25pro and this P23i. How would you compare the 3?

[@AlexanderPews]

will this blind seaguls at 10-20 meters range? I would definetely put that strobe mode to good use

[@brianlevandowski3167]

What is the O ring for? Is it for the battery cap or inner battery compartment? What is your opinion with a O lite comparison to this or better or worse? I need a good UV option .

[@NitecoreStore]

🇺🇸 👍👍👍🇺🇸

[@N_T1]

Which flashlight would you recommend between the P23i and MH25s for police work?

[@annalisa14]

How much money in 2023 June, does it cost at the cheapest? How can it be best used as a WEAPON against a sudden mugger, approaching from behind in daylight??

[@alih555]

Those tests 😂

[@madbull2124]

Mine has a cross pattern on the led is this normal?

[@apexriders_]

how long does it stay in turbo for?

[@jeffgdotson]

Don’t be afraid to scratch it up, right?

[@royayers276]

I dont care where they are made. Nitecore might be the best lights made. Olight is trash

[@auck1969]

Hardly a deal at 120 dollars when you can buy at many places for 90 dollars.

[@Thumpertom]

What a crock of crap.. $100 for a flashlight.

[@subaruforester5062]

I'm sorry you don't enjoy the finer things in life. 😅 pesent
