TRIPLE BREAKDOWN Tactical Flashlights - Nitecore P20iX - Fenix TK16v2 - Olight Warrior X Pro

[@law0472]

Having two thrunites , streamlights and an olight I love that the tk16 doesn’t have an awful battery port and flimsy rubber cap. Should make the waterproofing that much better. Great job fenix

[@skye1212]

Agree. The rubber port covers stop sealing right after 6 mos to a year.

As a hardcore flashlight enthusiast I own exactly these three flashlights. I love them! For edc use I like the P20iX the most. But the Fenix is amazing too.

[@arcadefreak37]

I'm hearing a lot of negativity towards the battery having it's own charging port and not the flashlight. That's a major plus for me. Two batteries and you are good. While one battery is being charged you are still using your flashlight. Sucks when your flashlight is dead and you have to use it to charge your battery. You're still left in the dark.

You do know that you can buy extra batteries for the others and have a spare charged and ready to go.

I chose Nitecore because I wanted more flood and because the high mode outputs more lumens. Was tempted to get a Fenix cause I didn't want to have to buy proprietary batteries, but I need 1 versatile flashlight - period. Purchased.

Also to add, a good quality flashlight can also provide a really low lumen setting. The Nitecore wins as offers ultralow (2 lumens)

Discovered Nitecore at gunshow, approx. 5-6yrs., back & they have never let me down. Also have 2 18650 batteries + 4 battery charger...Never disappointed!

[@KeithCasper]

I do like the long throw of a Warrior X--it looks like it works best for distance and I would have never known this--thank you. It almost makes we want to carry it for distance issues. I may have missed that the Nitecore flashlight has TWO general modes. There is a "regular" mode that has six modes and a "tactical" mode that has FOUR settings. This is (also) a nice feature. Thanks.

[@P.S.009]

Glad this fenix doesn't have a charging port with cover because they often become loose and catch when trying to reholster the light.

[@KeithCasper]

How would these lights work on AUTO glass? That is a significant difference.

[@aucourant9998]

The TK16v2 has an instant one push strobe facility for emergency defense (just one push on the small button on the back and you're in strobe without even having to switch on). I like the fact that the battery is charged directly, there is no flappy rubber thing on the outside, very clean lines and waterproof. Also the buttons on the end are very intuitive and easy.

[@GlobalCop]

The fact that the TK-16 V2 doesn't have an external battery charging port is exactly the reason I did buy it. I preferred to remove my batteries and charge them separately. Although I also bought the P20iX and it's my favorite. In order to keep that charging port sealed I've never pulled the plug back since I took it out of the box.

[@drogadepc]

The Nitecore P20 iX also has a strobe-ready switch.

[@FlashlightEDC]

Yep, but not instant turbo and no instant moonlight. Fenix lights always have bad UI. I use instant turbo more than instant strobe.

[@aucourant9998]

@@FlashlightEDC I bought it for self-defense primarily, so I like instant strobe. However, I would have liked a moonlight option which isn't on the Fenix.

[@drogadepc]

[@ojciecmajster]

what flashlight do you recommend fenix pd36r pro or tk16 v2?

[@aussie8114]

Probably a good idea to buy the Fenix with an extra battery then you can have no downtime.

[@westsidearea4314]

Does the rubber gasket spoil after a period of usage and if it's broken off will the water resistance be lower or no resistance at all?

[@LonghornTactical]

Yes, it will compromise the water resistance. However most of the lights will come with a spare o-ring.

[@westsidearea4314]

[@ojciecmajster]

which one will be better Nitecore p20ix or Fenix pd36r pro? Which company is better?

[@LonghornTactical]

I like both, not really a fair comparison because they're different shape/styles. However I still prefer slim flashlights so I would go with the PD36R Pro, or Nitecore P10i.

[@sergiyavorski9977]

You are comparing a Nitecore flood light with torch lights. You should have used P20i which is a torch

[@TopDog8762]

All have some advantages and disadvantages. Bottom line the Fenix has the best overall and useful to me beam profile. The form factor is perfect EDC,- for me. I have been using this light close to a year. As a side note: Olight customer service is outstanding, Nitecore customer service is horrible and I have never had to use Fenix customer service (I own 3). Customer service is probably a mute point as Longhorn Tactical I assume would handle any warranty claims.

[@marcustan5868]

04:52 Disadvantages... Olight: Requires a proprietary battery AND charging cable. And it doesn't look like you can signal flash with it either. Nitecore: Requires a proprietary battery, but not a proprietary charger. Fenix: No proprietary hardware at all, but you have to take the battery out to charge it.

[@theskeptik1]

This is false. They all can use pretty much any 21700 battery.

[@AlrekArinbjorn]

@@theskeptik1 Nope, the nitecore uses a proprietary i-series battery, olight has been using proprietary chargers and batteries for a long time now. Out of these three the fenix is the only one that doesn't require any proprietary hardware.

[@AshGreen359]

The Nitecore puts out 4000 lumens but it's from 4 LEDs. This is why it has the shortest throw range. 3100 from a single LED is insane so the Fenix wins in brightness. I'm not sure how Olight got an even longer throw from 2100 lumens, it must be the reflector

[@adisorn90]

Tk16v2 and tk35uev2 which is better when drop from the same distance ?

Just got the olight warrior x pro. Love the throw and the direct access to high at all times. I already own a few olight mcc chargers so no issues recharging. Keep up the good work nitecore guys 👍

[@aggaviriyo790]

I do. Charging won't work on 2 of my Olights because there's some kind of stain on the contact point. I can't get rid of it. Heck, I don't even know how it got there. I don't even bring it outdoor

[@Gabor.Bujdoso]

Just the comparison I was looking for! Still can't decide between the Fenix and the Nitecore. 😀

[@MemphisMojo15s]

Do you want a rechargeable light that puts out a lot of light, doesn't throw real far, and probably emits a LOT of heat in a small package? NC for the win. If you want a bright light that isn't rechargeable and throws a decent distance with heat but can't be near as much heat as the NC? Fenix wins. I don't wanna chance the Olight due to too many negative reviews. I bought the Fenix. Personal preference I guess, plus I have a lot of Fenix lights. They also have the infamous PD36 in a TAC version now, 3100 lumens I believe, with the rotary switch like the PD40R V2 and a couple others. Personally, I don't like rotary switches. Update:I bought the PD36TAC and it does not have a rotary switch on the neck. I don't even know where I got that idea from. Anyway, I like it

[@johndoh7070]

Never buy an "OLIGHT!" VERY POORLY MADE PRODUCT AND BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE. I purchased a Baldr Pro 1350 Lumen light and laser combo. The light did not work properly. 1350 Lumen would come on, but would immediately go to low lumen mode. Contacted OLIGHT and they told me that it may be the batteries. Put fresh ones in, still not working properly. Used different brands (Duracell, Surefire, Energizer), still does not work properly. I had to send the defective light back to the manufacturer. To add insult to injury, I had to pay shipping cost to have the defective product sent back to them. WTF!! Several weeks later, I got the light back. Still the same problem. I am not going to spend any more money to have this thing fixed. Going to take this as a loss. If one product is crap, high probability that the whole line of products are crap!

The glass breakers are made for tempered glass. Seems like even the olight doesn't get it since they make vids breaking regular glass tempered glass is way stronger and will shatter into a thousand pieces so you dont cut your head off if youre in an accident. Glass breakers are most useful for car rescues. The olight bezel is made for striking only.. The new version has glass breakers.

Sooo, I.M.O. the Fenix is superior for these reasons, 1. It's the ONLY light there 💯 made in the USA ( I.M.O. , better quality , the others are from China ). 2. The bezel is MUCH stronger/ better design to break glass, or use as a weapon than the other two. 3. As mentioned by someone else, the TK-16 v2 doesn't have an external port , because external ports ( with a rubber seal can/will fail at some point, have seen it happen). Bonus , while the O'light charging system is more convenient, it is a magnet and will attract all magnetic particles, and if scratched up, can rust. Just things I've learned in my research.
