I always use it in tactical mode, ready for strobe and turbo anytime. Wide beam, you hit both eyes without aiming. Simple, powerful, love it.
Been carrying mine for almost 2 years now it's holding up great
Just ordered mine. For a flashlight that's been out for a while it's still the hottest most relevant flashlight to date. 💯
i carry this ligth for 2yrs it never fails me to amaze everyday…i already tested breaking a window from a fortuner car…drop many time but still running good….The best EDC high lumens tactical ligth….
Way brighter than my Surefire M600DF. Bought 3 of these. Carried one for over a year in a factory with high ambient lighting for maintenance diagnostics on industrial machines.
Only had to use it in self defense once in pitch black night at 185 yards. Person surrendered in under three seconds on turbo strobe. Then proceeded to walk very slowly hands up while an entire parking lot of an apartment complex was illuminated.
May not be best 21700 flashlight but it’s simple, tough, and reliable. Bought many for coworkers.
I added the luminous tail cap to my P20iX; beside the fact that look highly unusual, the real reason is that tail cap gives me the cigar grip, which I have learned to use since the 6P.
Thank you for the review
Anthony
I was a olight fan boy but gah damn I’m loving the price and quality of these designs this is everything you need in a light I love it
such a great edc flashligh 2 years already still awesome
Just got mines off of Amazon. Love it cause it’s so well built and not too pricey compared to Surefire. I might as well EDC this light to distort the bad guys with the turbo mode feature.
Welcome to a flashaholic! I carry a light with me since long time now. It helped me in many occasions along the years; and it has been invaluable those times when I found myself in complete darkness. The best EDC for many years before LEDs was the Surefire E2, incandescent with some incredible 60 lumens output, and one hour of runtime on two CR123 - it was expensive!
Thanks for sharing!
thanks for this great review, it was or the Fenix tk20r v2 or this Nitecore, I bought the Nitecore after seeing this review.
Thanks for your review. What I don't understand... To select a desired use mode:
Keep holding the Mode Button (STROBE READY) on the tail cap and the flashlight will access the TURBO Level or STROBE MODE while simultaneously loosening the tail cap? Simultaneously Loosening the tail cap? Meaning: loosening the tail cap at the same time? It will make no connection to the power anymore? So... how to acces the other mode? Could you explain or show how?
Great explanation and video👍🏾
Glad you liked it!
Great review. I just bought one. Thanks.
You are very welcome! Hope you enjoy it!
Great torch and my edc. Tbe only thing I'd like to see as an improvement would be a proximity sensor like some of the newer flashlights. Had a couple of sticky moments with near trouser fires when triggered in my pocket, especially in tactical mode.
yeah that's not a bad shout, I also have a small discoloration in my pants from when I turned it on and forgot to turn it off when holding it against my leg!
I bought the new end cap with the 2 raised guards over the buttons, so you think they will update or make a UHI P20ix in the future?
We sure hope so but no word yet!🥲
OK folks? Is there any place that sells Nitecore and Olight flashlights in Orlando?
I always carry a torch with me now two guys tried robbing me outside my flat few months ago I pulled out the torch and blinded one of them and struck him in the face and when they tried coming near me I would blind them by shining in there face it really disoriented them and they decided to leave I never thought a torch would help like that I was carrying a nebo blast I’m now looking for a new torch that I can attach a tactical ring to I think the p20ix is a good idea can’t really strike like a club but I guest striking hammer fist will be good due to the bezels
Wow, so glad you're alright, thanks for sharing!
@@NitecoreStore yes I am quite lucky could of been allot worse they was wanting my phone and anything else in my pockets if it was not for carrying a torch at night I’m sure they would of jumped me and took my phone ect
Thanks for sharing
I bought three molicel 21700 15a 5000mah why won't they work. Is the battery proprietary?
Sadly yes, all Nitecore flashlights that have the i in the name like SRT7i and P20iX need i series batteries from us, they are good batteries no doubt but its not my favorite they are proprietary.
Hello my friend, I have a new p20ix. When I fully charge it and leave it unused for a few hours, then I reconnect it to the power source, I find the power indicator pulsing again and it does not give me a constant light, even though I fully charged it previously and did not use it. I do not know if this is normal or if there is something wrong with it. Battery or device
That is normal this light as a little bit of parasitic drain, so whenever it reconnects to the charger it will top off again, but we wouldn't recommend that as usually the parasitic drain takes only a fraction of a percent of the battery and charging it back up to full from basically full is really stressful for the battery
@@NitecoreStore Thank you, my friend, that is good information
Mine decided to change yesterday. It used to have 6 different brightnesses + Strobe, but yesterday I turned it on and it did not want to turn on, so then I turned it back off and on. This time it came on, but at full brightness and when I tried to turn it off, it started to strobe. Ever since then, when I turn it on, it comes on at full brightness and only has 4 different brightnesses. Strobe still works if I press the mode button when the flashlight is off. Also, if I press the mode button while the light is on, it goes in descending order from brightest to less bright instead of going in ascending order from least bright to most bright.
Hey, I would try looking at your user manual as you just described turning your light to tactical mode, to return to your daily mode operation hold down the mode pedal and unscrew the tail cap, the LEDs should blink once, then release the mode pedal, screw on the tail cap, and you should be good to go!
@@NitecoreStore Thank you very much!
@@DJDino6452Has your problem been resolved? Does the flashlight still work?
@@CorruptionManX Yes, it turns out that it was in tactical mode and the fix that they gave me worked.
Having a high-powered flashlight on the end of a security device is also good.
Couldn't agree more! That is why we sell mounts for almost all our tactical lights!
I see what you did there
all we needs the adapter for default 18650 accum's for separately buy option!!! not CR123 adapter, only 18650 type!!! or it just lost universality in situation that requiring autonomy
P10ix is way better to carry same power smaller footprint. Does it get warm? Yes but so does the p20ix tried both.
Yeah but when you need to break glass god forbid for whatever reasons you can't 😬 plus seeing an extra 100yrd is nice considering it provides the same flood. I know I definitely need the extra 100yrd headstart if something runs towards me 😂
How to lock light from accidental on
You can lock out this light by giving the tail-cap a half unscrew!
It’s a man light 👌🏼
Your video says to get a good flashlight that can be a blinding tool.
It doesn’t matter how many lumens it has if it’s candela is low.
This light has roughly 12,000 candela. That’s not enough to blind someone reliably.
A good blinding tool should be above 20,000 candela.
Personally I can still see very well when a flashlight is pointed to my eyes until it reaches a measurement of 60,000 candela or above.
That’s why I carry a Cloud Defensive MCH.
That being said, this is still a good light with a specific intended purpose.
But this is misleading.
@@iosonoi.7132 The cloud defensive may be a lot brighter, but I’ve seen reviews that say it gets unbearably hot after just 15 seconds or so. Thats going to be a no from me dawg, not to mention the Cloud defensive flashlight’s price is just way too high considering that. A 3-4000 lumen light will have plenty of blinding power anyways…
Why is everyone recommending p20ix , I like the p10ix ,it’s the best flood light with no spot
Dude was NOT a Seal !
Omg, only civilians believe in strobe 😂 a real Defense light would skip the strobe completely!
have you been strobbed in close proximity before? It catches the threat off guard and briefly puts you at an advantage in emergency situations, that's a great feature to have in my opinion.
@@NitecoreStore dear god, im at German Bundeswehr and Know my gear! The only thing you do with strobe is disturb yourself. Anyway, it s a civilian strobe toy. No Professional would use it!
I also believe that the effectiveness of the flashlight is limited, and the opponent can deal with this problem, especially if the place is not dark enough. But what do you suggest? What is the alternative method or the most effective tool?
*sigh* you don't need a 4000lumen flashlight.... Ever.... Particularly with a shorter throw, thats just a recipe for disaster.
Can't find the article anymore, but a long time ago there was an article published which talked about flashlights for tactical usage. Within the article, the topic of bounceback (reflected light) was discussed. It pointed out that the brighter the foreground light was, the more light would be reflected back, thus negatively impacting one's night-adapted vision. It pointed out that a consistent amount of light would naturally reflect off of most surfaces. This is bad, because you would lose ALL of your dark adapted vision very quickly; which would then mean that anything outside of the range of your flashlight (distance OR width) would be even less likely to be noticed. So, the idea of multi-thousand lumen flashlights generally is rather absurd. The lower the lumosity, the less impact on dark-adapted vision.
NOW, thats why LEP flashlights are super useful. With almost no close-range spill (unless they have aux LED's or intentional seepage), they can maintain a fair amount of dark-adapted vision, while still providing usable night vision.
Can you recommend a good flashlight that matches what you said?
@@CorruptionManX sure. I have been using the Nitecore CR6 for MANY years on the mid level, and it works well for throw and not a ton of spill, though, at times, I do find it a hair too bright and bump it down to a low or superlow level. One of the other things I like, is the secondary red mode. Not quite the same brightness as the white, but less impact on your night vision. As far as LEP flashlights, Nitecore and Acebeam both have some decent LEP flashlights. Honestly, flashlights have got to a point where even the little keychain ones are almost too bright for me. I had a Nitecore Tiki, and in low or mid mode, it was really handy.
Haven't had a chance to use the Nitecore Thumb yet, but if you aren't looking for a ton of throw, its 85 lumen could be plenty for the near-range stuff.
