I do like Matts reviews though, he makes me smile : )
Yeah. I liked the 1 when he shot the hotel over a mile.. I grab an acebeam k75 after that!
Oh hell yeah! Ty for the upload! Hope your brand launch goes well
Great price for this light, I'm fighting my LED flashlight buying addiction right now!!! Happy New Year everyone and thanks for keeping us up to date on the newest flashlights Matt.
My hat is off to you - I couldn't overcome my addiction after seeing this video. :-)
How do you fight it 😊
I just got my new NLightD T90 (only 8 days from China to Ohio, USA, despite a major snow storm). Unlike Matt's sample, I don't find the bezel to be very sharp. What is sharp, though, is the square-cut edges on the lanyard hole - those can cut you easily.
Otherwise, it's a great light. And Matt's discount code saved almost $40 USD.
About the only thing on my wish list for this light would be readily-accessible programming pads to update it to the latest Anduril 2 firmware. (I haven't quite graduated to disassembling my lights to re-flash firmware.)
Thanks, Matt, for a great review and side-by-side comparison. Keep up the great work!
Only just found this channel and I love it. I never knew flashlights could be so interesting. I'm hooked.
Yay an upload from Matt!!!
I love all of these tactical lights. I have a few and what I realized is they all get hot after being on for over 10 minutes. I want a bright light that won't heat up on the medium setting after 10 minutes of use.
I'm confused. Are you saying you want a light from 10 years ago? Those rarely got hot. Modern light lights are like Ferraris. They can go really fast if you want or they can go really slow. The choice is yours. Keep in mind you can't defy the law of thermodynamics. With modern leds (the most efficient, yet) you get the most light from the least power with the less heat. Just adjust the brightness to your needs. This is why ramping UI's are so good. You can fine tune the brightness to exactly what you want.
Check out lupine tl2
Hard to say it man. Strong light will produce heat. No matter how you do it, those are law of physics. Unless you found new technology
I've run an Acebeam L30 Gen II at 2000 lumens for over an hour without very much heat. It has a rather large head and decent thermal mass, if you don't mind its size.
Ain't gonna happen unless the light is big enough to dissipate all the built up heat, my guy. LEDs run hot.
Love the thoroughness. The bike ride POV was like a video game.
I can’t say that I’d ever buy another light from Neal. I bought a light from him that was defective. I mailed him several times and never received a reply. That was the first and last transaction with him. Just my experience.
I ordered battery's from him 2 months ago and they never even shipped, I can't get an answer to my emails or any response what so ever :(
@@jstoneracing guess I’m not the only one. What I’ve been doing if I see a light I want on this channel, I find it elsewhere other than neals. If I can’t find it elsewhere, I don’t need it that bad. I’m not dealing with crooks that don’t stand behind what they sell.
@@Turbogto_guy Neal is not a crook. It's just really difficult dealing with a small shop based in China. Heck, it's difficult dealing with a huge company in China.
@@JasonWW2000 well the personal experience I had with him was this: bought light. Light came in. Light stopped working. I emailed. Nothing. Emailed. Nothing. Emailed. Nothing. So whatever you want to call that
@@Turbogto_guy So are you assuming he got your email? He may not have. This is why you need to try more than one contact method. Communication in and out of China can be tricky. I would suggest trying to contact him through Facebook, the BLF forum or a different email address.
Great seeing you again! I hope you and your family are all doing well.
Wishing you great luck with your new project! Just purchased this flashlight, looks like a better version of the Lumintop x9l flashlight.
Thank you,
Victor
Just received my ZebraLight SC700d yesterday.
Incredible quality!
Where did you order from
love the heat fins.
The NI40 is better focused. It's beam is straight and useful at any distance. The crisscross focus of the NlightD would only focus well at one distance, and then spread out more and more after that. Some adjustment of the design could fix that.
Hello Matt great video 👍🖐️😎
Love the creepy headlamp bike shots, should play some Tubular Bells
Im literally waited for a new video from this channel & here we go.... 😃👍
I got the NlightD T90 during BlackFriday special and I'll tell you this: NealsGadgets has some great prices. A+ on Value most of the time. BUT... Orders often take a LONG time to be delivered.
My first order, I placed with standard shipping & it took 1 month for delivery. Another order I placed & paid for Priority Shipping on Dec 12, 2020. It's now Jan 5th, 2021 and still has yet to be delivered. WARNING: BE PREPARED! NealsGadgets simply has very slow delivery speeds to the US! IF you can get past that issue and be patient, it's worth the purchase.
@Matt Smith I thank you so much for your reviews! The NlightD T90 is fantastic and so is my Nightwatch NI40. My only complaint about the T90 is that the button is a little too easy to accidentally press. But they've got the wonderful Lockout mode which is very useful!
Keep up the great video content and thanks for your research and reviews!!
I order it 2 months ago and still didn't come to me..don't know what to do..
Happy New Year to you to Matt. I hope you put out tons of content in 2021 and let’s get this channel up to 500K. You can do it!
I just received my GT Nano thanks for the $10 off I really like it just like I thought I would it's awesome
Do you know you can lego a Lumintop Tool AAA body onto the nano and use a 10440 instead? it's a bit bigger, but much better runtimes.
Thanks Matt. Excellent review. Happy new year. 👍👍👍👍👍
Nice comparison Matt !
just purchased the weltool w4 and both diffusers, waiting by the 📬🙂
Happy new year lad 🥳,
No feeling the run !! Same goes for the rest of us😂😂
Thanks for the video
Looking forward to seeing more from you
I was wondering when Neal himself was going to throw his hat into the ring. Haha.
Hi Matt,
Well I ended up buying one, but unfortunately he was sold out of the battery that was offered with it. I really wanted to try it out.
Thanks for the heads up on the discount code. It saved me $35.98!!
Looking forward to a follow-up review!
Stay safe,

The only issue with NG is the customer service sometimes is really poor
True, I ordered 2 jetbeams he never send the lights out. I opened a dispute through Paypall and after months I got mine money back .Never again with Neals G.
Happy New year!
Reflector looks smoother on the nlightd then the stalker doesn't have those ridges in it
Happy New year Matt
Awesome. I have a Nightwatch Stalker 90.2! Good lights, thanks for sharing.....
You should mod the Astrolux EC03 in to a thrower with the SBT90.2 LED. it could be the smallest thrower in the world around 4000 lumens
Hello Matt another great stream
Hey you've got some great content and I've learned a ton. Keep doing what you're doing!
Looks like the led isn’t focused perfectly but that could be fixed. Interesting submission for sure.
How would you fix that?
@@BigSmartArmed One way would be to try different spacers at the base of the reflector (around the emitter) to change the distance between the emitter and reflector. Another way would be to replace the reflector. Finding a different reflector that's exactly the right size could be easier said than done, but should be possible.
If course, if you have some mad skills and a machine shop, you could do whatever you want. :-) (No, I don't have either a machine shop or mad skills, but I wish I did.)
@@NoNonsense316 Nah, I'd rather get a thrower light instead of trying to diy a $100 light that's not a thrower.
Very cool. Thank you for your video ✌🏽️
Happy new year 2021 time is 10:36pm
Website says it's 6,300 lumens so that's a gross exaggeration :(
I love the detail in your reviews Matt. Can you do one on the best tactical defense lights? Preferably ones with fast access to and very effective strobes? Something that can take a beating as a self defense weapon as well.
You might want to check out the Klarus XT21X (set to tactical mode). 4,000 lumen strobe from its XHP 70.2 emitter should be more than disorienting. It has dual tail switches - one for turbo, the other for strobe (if you set the light to its tactical mode, otherwise the switches have other functions) and a crenellated strike bezel.
The Nitecore TM9K has a 9,500 lumen double-click to access strobe that changes patterns and frequencies every few seconds (extremely disorienting) and also has a crenellated strike bezel. On the downside, its built-in 21700 battery is not user-replaceable.
Technically, any Anduril light can give you one-touch strobe, but it takes some advanced planning and setup to do it - not really 'tactical' at all, but possible.
Great review Matt, I only have one lumantop, until my nano comes in the mail, after your last review I purchased it, I was looking for the best place to purchase the10180 batteries, should I try to purchase the 100ma are stick with the 80ma, I can't wait until I can start purchasing ,your light's , I will do my best to, just start purchasing your light's, I have way to many Olights, I think you are amazing, with your knowledge and passion for all light's, Maybe in the Beginning , if you have some blemished light's from production, I'm your Man , I wouldn't care what they look like, as long as I knew they were Matt Smith designed, I would be honored. Thank you Brother, Happy New year, and don't hesitate or stress, you are going to be a great success. Sincerely your freind from Mo Rick and God bless you and your family and are Great Country
Do you know you can lego a Lumintop Tool AAA body onto the nano and use a 10440 instead? it's a bit bigger, but much better runtimes.
@@MrSimonj1970 Thank you, I'm still waiting for my nano. Forgive me ,what does Lego mean, I'm sorry but I want to learn all I can, especially if it means longer run Times. What Brand of Battry do you like using, I was going to order 10 pcs 10180 100ma from Banngood, but it takes so long to receive, please let me know where you order this piticuler battery you are using. Thank you Brother. Happy New Year.
@@MrSimonj1970 would you have info if a lumintop edc01 works instead of tool aaa?
@@johntanchin2545 I tried that combo and it does not work, threads are different
@@TheeHypnotoad i guess the tool aaa is the only option then. which is sadly almost double the price of the edc. thanks for the advice!
THUMBS UP, IF YOU WANT MATT TO DO MORE SILLY DANCE!
The specs from this light reminds me of the lumintop fw21 x9l
Nice👍👍
I love that led in that light Matt does Neil still sell those lights the noodles videos a little older let me know in the comments please
I wish that customer service wasn't shit.
I received a defective fw21 Pro and I still haven't received any response.
heard this so many times, I'd never order from him!
BS. Matt answers everyone almost instantly. 24/7. End cap stand up dude. What you talking’ bout Willis?
@@metaljew4456 Matt is definitely awesome! I was talking about Nealsgadgets.
Thanks Matt! I can't even get an order to ship from Neal so I've given up
Maybe I got lucky, but my recent order (came yesterday) from Neal arrived in 8 days, despite a major snow storm.
Hello M.S., Have a safe and "Happy New Year!!! Love your vids, so keep up the good work and keep these vids coming!🤗 Be safe, take care, "God Bless", sincerely, Randy. 👍👍🙏🏻😇👊
love your reviews Matt, happy new year.
5:53 the beam inverts like ===>
Good lux with the new brand
Light looked good til I saw the switching system. I got an FW1A never did work right out of the box, hope it works out for ya Matt.
6.5k lumens and 910m for 120$ not big deal, the 10 years old 85w HID xenon flashlight had 8500 lumen and 2km beam range for 150-200$,now much cheaper!
Isn’t the xenon 4 times bigger and heavier? And that one doesn’t have the dual spotlight/wide flood like this light has.
@@GodzHammer 2 times bigger little bit longer 600-700 gramm. Yup true...but at least 10 yrs old! Astrolux ft 03 has a 5k lumen 750m beam version for only 40-50$, almost same saze, have a little bit bigger head.
HID is cool if you have the time to let the bulb warm up.
@@JasonWW2000 lol yeah it takes 10 sec
@@gmerbergalfonzka5939 I was thinking a little longer, but yep, too long for my needs.
Really I like it very power Torish light led
NlightD: The light between night and day?
happy New Year Matt, thanks for another great vid !
Disappointed your bike isn’t loaded up with a ton of flashlights! Great video though
Happy New Year
The beam shape and ringiness indicate that the emitter is not properly focused and sitting too far inside the reflector. Try layering some tape between the emitter/centering device and the reflector (i.e., raise the reflector a bit above the emitter) and see if the beam improves.
On which light? The NlightD had a sharp hot spot, but the Nightwatch was a bit unfocused.
@@JasonWW2000 The NlightD around 5:44. One can clearly see rings in the beam even on camera, and looking at the beam you could tell it is focused to a very short distance rather than focused to infinity ideally. The sharp hotspot is a sign of poor focus; a well-focused hotspot has an accompanying corona transitioning into spill.
@@cinfinitesimal1630 The rings in the beam are reflections from the shiny bezel, not anything to do with the focus. I also know from experience you can't judge focus based on where you think you see the X, or where you think the beam is converging. The true way to judge focus would be the sharpness of the hot spot edge as well as the light distribution in the hot spot. Trust me, I've experimented a lot and learned a lot of stuff that seems counterintuitive initially. When I was new to flashlights I would have thought just like you.
@@cinfinitesimal1630 Just to be clear, I'm not trying to argue with you. I'm just trying to teach you that there really is no one correct way to focus a beam. Your kind of stuck with the reflector geometry your given. You can space the reflector closer or further away to suit your personal preference. If your a number chaser and want to get the longest measured distance regardless of how the beam looks, it can be done. My personal preference is have the beam focused so it looks best. I may give up a few percent of range, but the range numbers are not that important.
Too funny. The most valuable part of this video only lasts 15 seconds. The part comparing the Nightwatch Stalker to NlightD T90 beams to each other.
Very poor beam focusing on the T90. That is the wrong reflector for the 90.2. The beam visibly converges 3 feet from the glass and then cones out to a large spot instead of being tightly focused like proper reflectors do.
I read your comment before watching the video, and I was wondering if I could even see what you're talking about. Sure enough, I see exactly the problem you bring up. You can even tell just by comparing that beam to the NI40 that Matt demonstrates.
@@Buapo It's the wrong reflector profile. Reflector depth and cone angle are not suited to 90.2 emitter. T90 is supposed to be a thrower to compete with lumintop X9L, but it just can't. FET driver is not utilizing better cooling capacity of the head cooling fins, and reflector falls far short of what X9L can do. When it comes to compact 90.2 throwers it's between 9Xl and NI40, while T90 is more like a wide hot spot semi-flood type.
@@BigSmartArmed I'm kinda surprised he dropped the ball like that... or, at least allowed his manufacturer (lumintop or otherwise) to mess up the reflector. But yeah, it's plain as day. Dun goof't.
@@Buapo It's not a manufacturing defect, the reflector has the same profile in other T90 videos/beam shots, so the reflector is either manufactured to bad specs or is being recycled from other design that was not based on 90.2. In any case, T90 is not a thrower and I do not see how the beam can achieve listed specs. It sure is a fail. Hope Neil will fix it.
I'm not seeing the focus as a problem. You can see the well defined hot spot. That is what matters, not what the beam profile looks like in the fog. What you are looking at is the whole point of a flash light. Do you actually prefer the hot spot of the NightWatch? If so, I guess it is personal preference.
It uses a GT9090 led which is a clone version of SBT90 Gen2
Got a Lumintop FW21 Pro, but for me, that tail button just really spoils the experience of the light. Apart from that a very nice torch.
Is that lightning 🌩️ in the background at approximately 5:34 - 5:38
I don't think so
hey matt would be nice to see you doing some experiments with the ledil seanna spot lense
Not really a fan of the sharp edges on the hotspot honestly
Thought the guy (or gal) in the car was coming to pinch your camera 🥴
Is it just me or does the SBT90 not like heat at all?
@@JasonWW2000 It's not being pushed hard in the Haikelite HK90 and it still steps down stupidly quick even after thermal limit lifting.
@@JasonWW2000 my HK90 hits 13000 lumens. about 4300 lumens each SBT and they don't like it. No matter how big the host the SBT's don't like what they are fed. At least they don't go blue though.
Oh, look who it is. Ruined anybody else on eBay lately?
010621/0929h PST thank you, Matt. Stay safe and 73s..
where did the hand sanitizer video go.
I'm surprised that he didn't mention that it has an FW21 body.
I love the beam shots, though I want to upgrade my thrower flashlight. So I'm waiting on the worlds farthest throwing flashlight reviews to be done. I didnt want to get the 100,000 lumen brightest light because of the cost not meeting the awe of it all. I got the TN42 because it had the best cost for the light and build quality.
So I can't wait till acebeam, thrutnite, and other companies to release there best light of the year. And I can't wait for your review on them.
☄HAPPY NEW YEAR, MATT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
NIGHTWATCH NI03 VALKYRIE LUMINUS 90.2. Can you give it a review from neal?
Link to the longest lasting bright light?? I do security I want a thrower and a flood type light. Something I can buy multiple batteries for and just recharge. I’ll buy multiple lights for different purposes
very good video and compare. How far to the truck?
In the tumb it looks like a
elektrolumens big bruiser
Got around 190Kcd at switch on. 207Kcd seems a bit too heigh.
This light looks slightly over-focused (near-sighted) as the beam appears to cross itself a few feet (~1meter) from the lens. Though the hotspot is very crisp, it appears to be diverging.
ruclips.net/video/QhTNqHSWNvY/видео.html
Which is better an E switch or click switch? I’ve yet to come across a light with an E switch.
Personal preference and how you intend to use it. Most 'clickies' have a half-press momentary or full-press click-to-on that are great for tactical lights. The E switches are (almost) a must for my favorite Anduril-based lights.
Do you have a recommendation for boat navigation at night. I do a lot of bass fishing at night and drive up to 15 miles on my home lake.
Thanks
Why do you not ever review Nebo lights?
Have you tested the Imalent R60C? I respect your knowledge and I'm just wondering if it's a good option? Thanks again for your content.
Hi, Matt. What flashlight will take a 4.2v 18650 protected button top?
How long before flash lights will be steady cam
What do you mean?
@@JasonWW2000 thought of a joke ,but now I'm thinking it's a real value to have the beam steady while the user is in a trembling or shaking position
What happened to " good lux"?
Could you recommend a good flashlight that has multiple power levels but also either a red light or a filter that can be bought to make it red? Currently have the olight Warrior pro turbo, and it is nice but it doesn't have much functionality as far as modes goes. It only has two as far as I know and that means that it's quite limited. It would be a great tactical light if it just had strobe function on it. I would also be down for changing the chip in it if you knew how and could point me to instructions.
I would prefer this light in a 26650 size. This would provide a bigger grip with more metal to draw heat from the head. The 26650 cell would typically have more capacity as a bonus.
BS. A 26650 is top wide for most people's hands. The additional metal is insignificant in terms of cooling since the battery tube is not /should not be part radiating the heat. The fins would not be bigger in fact since the shorter fins in the back would converge into the wider body earlier. And the body would be significantly heavier - but not in the right spot to help much in terms of heat capacity.
But most importantly, the 26650 type is outdated. 21700 cells have usually higher current rating and mostly similar capacity compared to 21700. You will find a good 26650 cell that outmatches most 21700 cells, for sure. But the future is 21700.
@@lordroo8484 Too wide for 'most people's hands'? Seriously? A 26650 light has a diameter of about 1.25". Is that too wide for you? Do you have child's hands? I'm guessing that a D cell Maglite would be too much for you to handle. As for making the light 'significantly heavier', you've got to be kidding. The vast majority of a light's weight is in the head assembly. Any additional weight aft of the head assembly would only improve the balance. Have you ever handled a high powered light? If so, you would know that the handle portion also gets quite warm. More thermal mass helps, not hurts a light's performance.
Is that an e-bike? Tax credit possible if so and you will be a better steward to charging than just about anyone else on the planet, pretty safe to say.
May I know how far is the distance from the place you stand to the backdrop of trees there?
Customer service for nealsgadget is horrible, my order was only partially fulfilled I emailed them couple times if they are going to refund or ship the missing items from the order and there is no response.
Great r
Products reporting.
One question please,
From all the lights you have been through, which one is the top of the heap? Or, if you had only one light to buy, which one is the very best?
Thank you,
Happy New Year,
Keep on keeping the truth out there,
Doug
Tough call. If I could have only one medium to large light I would probly take Convoy L6. No turbo timer on it and they are easy to use. Its not the brightest light I own by a mile but it is one of the most useful and dependable.
Not sure about the name. NLight reminds me of “Nightlight”...

Matt, is there anything available in the "laser" thrower class that is smaller and affordable? Thanks!
Where can i buy that
How about BLF Q8? Review??
How much does the ambient temp contribute to runtime? Most graphs i have seen on the runtime for various lights has always been for room temperature, but can the turbo be extended during 0°C compared to 20°C?
I've never tested ambient vs runtime, I doubt it would make a huge difference. After about 1-2 mintues the battery will be sufficiently warm and perform as normal, but on direct drive lights when the output is being measured in the first 30 seconds a cold start can have drastic effect. Also pulling batteries "hot" off the charger does the same thing in the other direction. As for extending the turbo you would get a slight gain at colder temps. The cell would not be pushing the emitters quite as hard, and the components start out cooler, but since the components heat from the inside out the gain would probly be only a few second.
It depends a lot on how hot turbo is. If Turbo can last 3 minutes inside at 20*C, not super powerful, a 0*C ambient temp and air flow around it outside can extend the Turbo runtime quite a bit. Maybe to 4 or 5 minutes.
If your talking about a light who's Turbo run time is only 30 seconds, then don't expect much increase. Maybe 5 seconds or so.
