Nitecore T4K (4,000 lumens) vs TUP (1,000 lumens)!

[@geo9994]

T4k doesn't stay to max power for very long, kind of defeats the purpose of going for the more powerful one, rather get a lower max power torch and be able to use it to max potential

[@twrcrew8852]

Anyone who buys either of these trying to MAIN their 1k-4k output is a clown. The niche is that it's a USEFUL 200lm EDC belt-mounted light that can be used as a headlamp when clipped to a hat and CAN hit a brief party lumen setting if the moment calls for it.. but NOT to be bought as a light that rests on 1k+. In fact, not even tactical full size lights (like the p20i/x or p23i etc) are meant to be used like that either. The only light you're looking at to rest on 1000-4000 luments as the main running mode are very FAT flood/spot lights with over 8 LEDs. usually in the 300-500 dollar range and they are unwieldly and gross in day to day life. Those will usually burst 9000-20,000 luments. but rest on the lower thousands of lumens. So there's some perspective for ya.

I personally have the Tini 2 , its bright enough to get things done when you need it and its smaller so its easily portable which is why it stays on me with my keys

[@twrcrew8852]

@@geo9994 I bought a tini 2 for my girlfriend. The problem with Tini and Tiki is that they are just keychains. only if you like a landyard flopping around your neck as a bundle of keys and flashlight hits you in the chest as you walk and run. I always used to hold my keys to prevent it. But the Tip SE, TUP and T4K are much better due to the clip. they can be worn like a holster, close and tight to the body rather than hung and swung.

[@twrcrew8852]

@@geo9994 I will defend the Tiki though because it is neat. especially when it can glow blue or green as you wear it around for fun. If the Tini 2 had a tiny clip, it could be strapped to a belt loop and be amazing. currently, you could still clip the D ring of the keychain onto it as well but, it is not quick draw.

Personally, my favorite one is Tip2

Ugh you got the storm 2 bank. I waiting on mine to come in. Thanks for the comparison! Im gotta get the 4k one next because of your video.

[@LumenMaxEDC]

Hope you get yours soon. I see a lot of posts in their group on delivery updates :-)

[@poorboysedcandflashlights5934]

Great video, as always!!

[@LumenMaxEDC]

Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback.

[@Metalhead-4life]

What? They put a smaller battery in the 4k lumen? I have the TUP but that drop drown to 200 lumen on the new one is a deal breaker. Would have been nice to have type c though

[@twrcrew8852]

nobody can expect to have a 4k lumen pocket rocket goofy. it's a feature, not a mode. you want a 4k lumen RUNNING light, you're looking at a 300-500 dollar FAT light that mains 4000, and has a max of over 20,000 typically.

[@joekasperek1086]

Have the Tup but want to add this one. Nice look

[@LumenMaxEDC]

I love the OLED displays on some of Nitecore's flashlights. I'm eyeing the TINI 2 :D

[@scottbee22]

Where did you get your power bank?

[@james10739]

I'm surprised they have a smaller battery in the bigger light

[@metaljew4456]

Just ordered the 4K From Ali~X. $62.00 +tax and shipping to the USA. GREAT DEAL!

[@besthifisystem6511]

Hey, I bought the T4K and I’ve noticed that its beam is slightly yellowish or warmer compared to my old TUP. Have you noticed it too?

[@LumenMaxEDC]

Slightly yellowish green in the outer ring of the hotspot and white inside. Less noticeable on turbo. Only noticeable when you shine it at a white wall. Should not be noticeable outdoors.

[@besthifisystem6511]

@@LumenMaxEDC Yes, the T4K is very bright. Its beam covered my neighbor’s car headlight even if his car is on high beam lol.

[@houweenieinmyswish5600]

So whats better and runs longer?

[@LumenMaxEDC]

TUP since it has a larger battery, but TUP is missing the 1-lumen mode and the 4000-lumen mode.

[@ТрампТрамп-э3б]

@@LumenMaxEDC в туп есть режим 1 люмен.

[@behemothinferno]

Love my T4K as an EDC however I've found the runtime indicator to be absolute garbage. It stays at 2:45 on the 200 lumen mode for awhile and then all of a sudden shows the runtime in minutes and catches you by surprise. It's far from what I expected (live count down in seconds) as they make it seem.

[@egcruzc]

Awesome video! Very helpful, thank you!

[@LumenMaxEDC]

Thank you and you're welcome!

[@okinawanah3463]

They can only run 200 lumens though The max lumens id just for momentary signaling

[@uberepicoutdoors]

Might be a stupid question but to activate the total 4000 lumens does it require you to hold in the button the hole time..

[@LumenMaxEDC]

Good question. Yes, you have to press and hold to use turbo. Safety feature. Gets hot ;-)

[@powerzone5194]

Fantastic light !

[@BronzeLincolns81]

T4k is a waste of money. 4k lumen parlor trick isn't worth an extra $25.
