    Nitecore is a company that never ceases to surprise with its innovations.
    Let me tell you a short story about how I discovered nitecore two years ago, during the2020 lockdown. That was the first time I heard the term EDC; I'm from India, so the idea of having specially made items for everyday use simply amazed me.
    I've always loved lights and torches, so when I discovered Nitecore and its TM10K, which comes in such a small, compact casing, I was absolutely stunned. Then, in 2021, they introduced the T4K, which had a power of 4000 lumens in such a small size. And most recently, they created the TM20K, a device that is a beast. I still find it incredible that such a small, portable device has such a large capacity; it's like getting a superpower.
    Finally, Nitecore, please continue to astound us with your tech revolution.

    Regarding the USB to USB-C flex cable, it's a Nitecore product exclusive.
    I own one and it works very well.

    Honestly, the tiki seems great, but the tini2 is also great, I definitely want a t4k though. I just want a light brighter than my phone light with minimal size as a back up to my tactical lights. I also enjoy writing and it’d be great to have the ability to write at night. I’m homeless, so the application would be immense and I would get use out of any of those for sure. And the t4k having such immense power when needed is a plus. I’ll just be chilling like I am right now around 2 am on a bench and I’ll hear a noise and sometimes it’s an animal really close to me, I’ve been attacked by dogs and had no light to shine to see or use to blind in those situations. So instead of the hospital and stitches, I could just go on with my day without being injured and I can get some writing done at night. God bless you bro, keep up the excellent work

    Here for the TK4.
    I have the Tini2 and it's amazing. Fits the pocket, powerful enough and has the display which is helping

  • @bl_ss_d
    @bl_ss_d Год назад +6

    Tini was my first purchase and it is what made me fall in love with this brand. I then purchased LA10 and tiki as well as other bigger lights like mh10. I even have your bags. So its really hard to pick a favorite because they are all so designed well and very functionally. But if I really really have to choose then it will be the TINI since it was the model that I first purchased and made me realize that such an awesome brand like Nightcore actually exists. I use it as an emergecy light. I keep it on my bag. I even use it for studying when black outs happen. 💜

    @dronepilotflyby9481 2 года назад +4

    The Tip2 is my go to when working on motorcycles because of the magnet base. Used it on scaffolding in a dark garage when installing new lighting. For weekday use I bought the Tiki as it's easier to carry when you have to where slacks.

  • @JP-bk1ve
    @JP-bk1ve Год назад +2

    I lost my beloved tini2 that I used daily, but I now have a crush on the Rovyvon A4 pro titanium with tritium vials..that thing is a beast, I wish more flash lights had a display like the tini2 that feature is truly innovative.

  • @karlyt0s-tt
    @karlyt0s-tt Год назад +3

    So far the best light for me is the tini 2. Tried the tube, tiki, and tini1 all of them didnt last as long as my tini2. Superglued a small magnet at the back too for added functionality

  • @blablayourneeds
    @blablayourneeds 2 года назад +4

    I currently have the Thumb and I have it attached to a chest bag. So far it has been great for quick hands free illumination especially when I am walking home from my commute. I think the Tiki would be a great complement to my Thumb since it is brighter, but without taking much more space.

  • @kingofdeception8667
    @kingofdeception8667 2 года назад +4

    I'm a huge fan of nitecore tini 2, its ergonomic design and compact size. Can be easily used in any situations and a must have for campers and hikers being so small and pocketable.

  • @shubhamkamble6247
    @shubhamkamble6247 2 года назад +2

    Nitecore your T4K is a beast of a device which can literally make you a hero or get out of any worst situation with that strong throw. Great great built...keep it up.

  • @apprenticegilligan1635
    @apprenticegilligan1635 2 года назад +3

    In my opinion the absolute BEST hands down is the TIP SE. Because it is small, versatile and you can actually clip it to your ballcap and plug a battery bank into it so the runtime can be extended to however big your batter bank is. Love it. I use mine for EVERYTHING.

  • @-_-saucynocap2427
    @-_-saucynocap2427 Год назад +2

    Big fan of the tiki GITD. I love the compactness for keychain and so much versatility. The lantern light and UV is quite useful as is the flashing lantern. Next would be the Tini 2 for me. Compactness and the OLed display. So cool.

  • @Cerberus_Gears13
    @Cerberus_Gears13 2 года назад +1

    Definitely my go to Keychain light is the Thumb Leo for the balance of white light and uv plus the red and blue blinker function is very useful been using my thumb leo for over 6 yrs and still going never let me down be it on my vest, cap or keys

  • @MXarcx
    @MXarcx 2 года назад +3

    The Thumb has been my goto edc light for years. Just so handy to always have a small light you can use hands free and adjust it to light up what you need it to. I whish Nitecore would release a new version with USB-C, brigther red side lights and maybe even some water resistance rating. TIP2 and TIKI are also nice bright small flashlights to put into a pocket or on a keychain.

  • @AlejandroSotoB
    @AlejandroSotoB Год назад +2

    I started with the Tiki, on my keychain. It's an amazing flashlight accesible and powerfull. And now I have a TUP, it's incredible how such a tiny package can emit so much ligth!

  • @Abufast
    @Abufast 2 года назад +1

    I use my EDC Every night for checking the property boundaries if the gates are locked and bolted shut and check on the plants in the garden at night. Currently using the Lumintop EDC01 brilliant little flashlight. I would definitely love the TIP 2 as an upgrade.

  • @Studat
    @Studat 2 года назад +8

    I love the t4k at 4000 lumens but the next step down at 200 seems a little low.

  • @999MacG
    @999MacG Год назад +1

    T4K will certainly be of great use as I work nights at the Hospital and also live out in the countryside.

  • @carlosruiz1234
    @carlosruiz1234 Год назад +1

    I’ve been using a T4K for several years now and it’s pretty awesome. I have it on a lanyard and put it on my hat as needed. Would highly recommend.

  • @wjennekens
    @wjennekens 2 года назад +8

  • @colingoddard7540
    @colingoddard7540 Год назад +1

    Love the video. I like cycle camping so weight is important and the ability of a light to do multiple jobs. The TIKI and the Thumb appeal most. The tiki is bright enough to use as a torch when going to the toilets at night and also to use as a lantern when placed in a tent pocket. The Thumb has the additional property that it can be used as a head light when attached to a cap using the clip and its head can be tilted. Maybe not an EDC light but I do like the 21700 NL2150HPi high performance i-series li-ion battery, an ML21 magnetic light and MPB21 magnetic power bank. It gives me a light for the tent and a powerbank, Great.

  • @aaroncervantes8700
    @aaroncervantes8700 2 года назад +1

    I liked the TUP. I use to have one until I unfortunately lost it. I use to use them in dark rooms when working on electrical panels. Clip it on my hat and light up my work while in the night. Also it came in handy when working long hours and the sun would start to set. It was always a handy light to have on me at all times.

  • @zenith017
    @zenith017 2 года назад +4

    I've been using Tip SE for my backup light (main light MH12S) for months. Really love it. Can't believe how bright can it gets. Plus the slim design. Great job Nitecore👍👍👍👍👍. You guys killin it🔥

  • @techheadreviews
    @techheadreviews 2 года назад +5

    I have the tini 2 on my keychain and the P20iX in my edc pouch. I really love them both. I also like the oled display on the tini 2, to show how much battery you have left and which mode it’s in. As a technician it’s great to have the light because I often need to shine in small dark spaces. The t4k is definitely one I would like to add to my collection.

  • @muhdfirdaus7567
    @muhdfirdaus7567 2 года назад +1

    I'm using Nitecore Tiki since pass two years. It's very helpful to me to check up the lorry routine everyday in the early morning around 6 to 6.30pm(Malaysia time). Since its very small, i just hold it with my mouth if i want to use both my hand 😅😅😅. Seriously its very helpful 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

  • @R3VR1CK
    @R3VR1CK 2 года назад +3

    I've had the t4k for 2 years. I lost it with it on for a couple months and the battery isn't what it used to be. My fault I know. Love this little thing. Great for festivals or searching lowlights areas like closets or cars. I use it all the time, and need another one.

  • @Maze__Runner
    @Maze__Runner Год назад +1

    I like tini2 very compact and best fits to keychains. Best for the house uses.

  • @doublea3858
    @doublea3858 2 года назад +2

    The t4k! Ever since the release of that flashlight I have been a fiend to get it. Im 18 and I am an avid biker and fisherman but I just cannot get the budget to purchase the light because of all the other things I have to pay for like school and a car! I would be so honored and would utilize the t4k to its best ability. I have always been a fan of nitecore when I was gifted my nu25 and having a small portable light like the t4k would solve so many problems. Thanks for this giveaway and even if I don’t win I’ll always be finding ways to get the t4k!

    I have one TIKI GITD and it is perfect for every day carry. But where I use the most is in my bedroom. I charge the body to find it easier in total darkness and use ir whenever I need it, specially when I have to use the restroom. I have already used it even when my car battery died and the guy whom was replacing it did not had a light to see the place. I used the auxiliary high CRI led and he asked me whick lamp was that and how many lumens, because it was extremely bright for the size. Very proud Nitecore light owner here!

  • @Nerowise6764
    @Nerowise6764 2 года назад +1

    My favourite EDC is P18. It is small and it is super tactical. The silent switch is so much great convenience. It is really a flashlight for work and even overseas use! P18 is the king of tactical mode.

  • @matinfellani8187
    @matinfellani8187 2 года назад +1

    The TIKI is amazing! I've had it for awhile now and I don't feel like I am carrying something bulky with my keys. Great when you need to light up a dark place in a hurry without reaching out for your phone.

  • @Atzenman80
    @Atzenman80 2 года назад +1

    I don't have any Nitecore lights but I use some other ones. The Tip SE und the T4k would be a really good combination for EDC. The SE travels on the Keychain and the T4K remains as an Backup or Blackout light on the backpack. But they are all great lights.

  • @RaviCP53
    @RaviCP53 Год назад +1

    Just came across your channel, when looking for some advice on the best EDC lights to buy. Loved your crystal clear reviews of the Nitecore series. Looks like the TIKI and TINI 2 are best suited for my needs. Great job Nitecore Lights.👍 This is definitely my go to channel for lighting solutions.

  • @justvoorfun
    @justvoorfun Год назад +1

    the t4k would be nice if it had an extra 1000lumen mode it would hold all the time, i got the tup because of this. because 4k lumen is a lot but you can just use it for a couple of seconds

  • @youngnkareless1738
    @youngnkareless1738 2 года назад +1

  • @dagoose01212

    TINI2 is my favorite light, but I do rotate between. These lights are built very well and I enjoy seeing them "wear" in on my adventures.

  • @HoodsieCup
    @HoodsieCup 2 года назад +1

    The LA10 would be perfect on my keychain. The features are really useful, and I like that it is powered by an AA battery.

  • @lawrencefournier686

    P30i and MT10C. MT10C is my EDC and the P30i is mainly used for night hikes with my dog and showing off to people. P30i is such a beast.

  • @runplatypus
    @runplatypus 2 года назад +1

    I've been using the tube v2.0 for 2 years attached to my car keys. A total essential at night when walking to your car and illuminating inside of car and room. 55 lumens is just enough for most tasks. A true legend of a keychain light. 👍🏼

    • @harrison00xXx
      @harrison00xXx Год назад +1

      100% agree.
      I have 3 TUBEs (i think most V1...) in use, some V2s in spare and still sealed and my first TUBEs from like 10 years ago are still WORKING GREAT! Probably a little bit loss in runtime and brightness, but not really noticable.
      My oldest one even survived multiple washing machine runs, best EDC lamp ever created in my opinion!
      I also like the bigger ones like the TIP or TUP i am using now, or my much nicer looking white Led Lenser F1 EDC, modded to hell for LiIon batteries instead of expensive CR123 and 1000Lm+ with a nice and cool UI too (for showing the voltage with blinks in 0,1V steps).
      Or just go "full nuts" with any of my big lights like Thrunite TN 35 (big allrounder with throw) or Noctigon Meteor M43 (cola can sized, 4x 18650 7000Lm monster/flooder)

    I guess LA10 or Tip2 would be a great Blackout / Emergency light for me. just enough to light up a small room and can attach it easily with the magnetic bottom.

  • @J_OWL_0000

    I currently use the Tip2 almost everyday when I go out walking. Lots of the areas I'm in are not well lit and I love to put this on my hat and go. My favorite part and why it's part of my EDC is that tailcap. I love the way that functions and wish more lights came like that.

    I carry my TINI 2 just about everywhere. Even in a pajama pocket it is so compact and light I forget it's even in there until I need it. And when you really need a flashlight you *really* need a flashlight. Even in turbo mode the battery lasts plenty long to light some candles and grab a bigger light.

  • @Fabiuja
    @Fabiuja 5 месяцев назад

    Wich you think is better for daily use between nitecore TUP versus T4K? Maybe TUP with 1200Ah and 1000 lumen are much usable? Can’t figure out about scenario with 4k lumen for just 10 second. Maybe 1k lumen for 30 min is better in long term usage. What do you think about?

    I have a Tiki LE on the zipper pull of each of my jackets and raincoats that I normally wear, especially the insulated hi-viz hoodie I prefer for temps down to freezing. The Tiki LE gives me to option of a readily visible red/blue/red+blue warning light when I'm walking near or on roadways in low light conditions, and up to 300 lumens of focused light when I need it. It easily recharges from a pocket battery bank or my phone and will even run from either source. The light can take a beating and still function and is even highly water resistant. It simply ticks all the boxes of what I need in a small form factor safety light.

    I often use the phrase less is more.
    If they had reversible pocket clip for temporary cap attachment I'd have already bought it.
