Yes They Finally Did It... 4000 lumens In A Thumb Sized Light! - T4K First Look

When you absolutely must have the brightest #flashlight in the smallest size, then the T4K was made exactly for you.
Today we're going to look at the new #Nitecore #T4K and what makes this a must have light if you've always wanted the absolute brightest and smallest.
I'll go through the many ways you can carry it and why some people choose this over similar brightness i4000R, #TUP and more.

I have no idea how I got to this video, but I'm I did. I feel like I just went through a masterclass of flashlights and flashlight operation. This video quality is amazing, clear to understand, and very informative. I didn't need or want a flashlight, but damn, now it looks like I'm buying myself a T4k. Take my money, my subscribe, and my notification bell. WELL DONE!

@@outdoortechtrekguy1029 Yeah, although I've never owned a Nitecore brand light, I have owned a Nitecore 4-bay charger. I've owned several Jetbeam brand lights, which used to be associated with, or a subsidiary of Nitecore.

Im a flashaholic. Lol. I think nitecore and imalent are the best in the biz for pushing the limits. I hv both brands. I dont hv the t4k but i hv imalent ld70. It has 4000 lumens aswell, it is slightly smaller than the t4k. And is traditional flashlight shape. It has 20 lumen, 200,900 and 2000, aswell as the turbo 4000. I would like to get the t4k to compare. If you take photos a lot nitecore has an awesome camera light called scl10 with variable light temperature. My wife does cakes and she loves the scl10 for taking photos. Both companies have great customer service aswell.

Awesome light, but I still wish there was a level in between 200 and 4000 just so there's longer runtime. I think if it was 2500 instead of 4000 it would be much more usable. Still, it didn't stop me from picking one up hahaha!

[@luigidicarp9521]

That is the right way to really use this flashlight. actually you really don't need to go up to 200lm. Mine i use 20lm most of the time and use 200lm rarely and 4000lm for fast signal. btw i use IMALENT LD70. for comparison, the body is all aluminum and the button is at the bottom part which is the best position imo. its all rounded too so you hold it like any small flashlight out there. this one is a little awkward button position imo. its like you have to hold the flashlight with peace sign finger to properly use it. even if you wear it in your collar, you will still find yourself looking for the button unlike any traditional flashlight where they put it on the bottom.

[@mikeblessing7886]

Well, you talked me into it. I was looking for another light and have a few Nitecore lights, so after watching your video, I ordered the T4K. I just received it a couple of days ago, and - no regrets, I love it!

I own 3 of the tup lights and have been using them for going on 4 years now. I work in a rail yard and use them on a hat bill. It literally is the most useful and best light I have ever owned or used.

[@KGB-FSB]

While I like Nitecore lights and have a good handful of them, I have shifted to Fenix, they just seem to have better throws and lumens packaged in a smaller form factor than Nitecore.

[@mikes96fs]

I’m still waiting for nitecore to come out with a LEP (laser excited phosphor) light. Combine a LEP center light with supporting LED lights around the outer edges of the light. You would have the longest throw light with great flood as well. LEP has a throw of around 2400 meters

[@yourfilipinotv6477]

That's what I am also eyeing for, a new innovation. LEP in the middle then in the sides are LED. But it is kinda hard to do.

[@MylesDavid]

This sounds like a super cool idea! How possible is it Nitecore¿?

Do LEPlights work for you? I've never used one, but videos make them look unusable because the beam is so thin.

I bought the T4K and I must say that it is fantastic (like all Nitecore products) I have almost all Nitecore models but I have not yet understood whether once the battery has finished charging cycles if it can be replaced or if you have to throw everything away and buy a new flashlight. I ask why I'm thinking of buying the 10000 Lumen model but since it costs a lot I wouldn't want to throw it away in a few years

Nice, but some of us would like a large, very bright light for use in vehicles or backpacks. Think about making a 2-piece searchlight with adequate cooling to produce 10,000 lumens for several minutes at a time, and a range of power packs & cables to adapt to many uses.

Firstly I would like to say that I am glad I found your channel. Secondly I just wanted to share my experience with this light. It's a great light, pure and simple; however, while I was trail riding, this light definitely burned a hole (4 little holes in the shape of the light arrangement) in my shirt. The light was on demo mode and 2nd lockout. Somehow it came on, and burned my shirt.

Hey, I finally bought the Nitecore T4K and it was insanely bright and 10 seconds for me is just exceptional because I’m only living in town and unlike in forest areas that you will need a longer runtime for illumination. It is also brighter than my Nitecore TUP but the advantage of the TUP is that you can hold it for a long time until it’s too hot to handle and you can now step down to 200 lumens. Overall, these are nice products!

[@sveneriksson4405]

Thanks Nitcore, you are best to review your lights! I Buy Nitcore EC4. Its a great one, but to hard for me to understand..

[@Goprof150]

Just ordered one, Nitecore lights are second to none in quality.

[@Salveo-]

I owned the Nitecore T4K Flashlight while it worked it was a fantastic light. Some of the screws that held it together started to backing out of the housing. I had to purchase a really small torx driver in order to tighten the screws. The cover of the housing came off while I attempted to retighten. Once the light opened it was clear to me how cheaply these are made. There is circuit cable attaching the on/off button that came off from the main board that was nearly impossible for me to reattach. If you buy one of these, keep the screws tight and don't ever let it come apart. I could not fix the unit and it became useless. This is not up to par with the rest of the Nitecore product line. It's a cute (but bright) disposable keychain light, not worth the $80 they charge for it.

Hi, I've been watching your videos, and my *only* use case is this: I need something small enough to carry in my pocket all the time on travels, but bright enough to be effective in self-defense, to be able to blind the attacker and run. So my questions: 1- You say T4K's light is not a narrow beam but more spanned, would it still be good for defense? And generally is it a good option for self-defense? I don't need to hit the attacker with it, just blind him enough so that I can vanish. 2- Is the TUP1000 good for the same use-case? or is 1000 Lumens too low for outdoor self-defense.

[@swanseamale47]

It might be putting out 4000 lm but only for a few seconds before it steps down. Really it's a 200lm torch overclocked to get a very short burst of power. Personally I think it's misleading to call it a 4000lm when you can't even cycle to that setting and it can't run for any length of time at it.

[@funnyguy218]

It’s like a Tesla. From 0-60 less than 4 seconds. Then if you drive longer distance, it’s no good. I’d like to see an updated Tup, maybe Tup 2? 2K for about 5 minutes run time? That will be more useful than just showing off 4K for 10 seconds. But that’s just me.

[@samfletcher93]

Anything more than around 500 lumens in a small package like that will get really quite hot with extended use.

[@thatplat1]

Never gonna happen until LED tech drastically improves. Tech advances quickly, but nothing we have now will do that.

[@johnbauman4005]

Hi MJ - In terms of self defense/disorienting an adversary, what brightness of light is required - 500 lumens, 1000 lumens, 4000 lumens? I realize that this is a case where more may be better, but what would be the minimum effective in your opinion? Do you sell a plug cover for the USB-C port on the T4K? Even something to keep out pocket lint would be useful. Realizing that it will vary depending on ambient temperature, what is the expected mean cycle time for turbo mode to recover completely on the T4K? Given that the battery is not replaceable, what is the predicted # of average recharge cycles per battery/light and expected lifespan? Does frequent use of turbo mode shorten battery lifespan versus the other modes? For U.S. customers is there a price savings buying from Nitecore USA vs. Singapore? What about service/warranty issues - any difference between the two sources? I expect to make a big enough purchase that shipping will be free either way. Thanks for your excellent presentations! I learn from each one. ATB! John
