Great review Matthew. Thanks a lot. Just bought the Torchy 2K. Shines like a car headlight, it’s pretty incredible and so powerful! It would blind someone no problem. No more batteries, no more battery recycling. One thing, there is a removable sticky label inside the torch where you would remove it to take out the battery. If you don’t remove this, the battery won’t charge. I found this out by default. So if you start to charge the torch and it’s showing blue, but the torch isn’t working, it’s probably because this label is still inside the torch. Just remove the end cap and it should come out. Guess it’s there to protect the battery. Just bought mine from Amazon here in the UK for about £27. That’s with 25% knocked off. That’s an amazing deal. Well worth it. Sometimes you come across things in life that are just too good to miss out on. This is one of them. This torch could last you years if you care for it. The only thing I would say is that Matthews description of the lumens and the time you get with each mode is different from what the instructions state. Have to find out for myself.
Hahahahaha yes sir they are great lights I own probably 25 or 30 and I've never had a problem with them. Thanks for watching, please like and SUBSCRIBE. ;)
@@justinramon6619 They just don't work anymore. I bought 2 different types recently and they were bad out of the box. They wouldn't take a charge. Nebo was good while it lasted.
@@watchingthecrazyworld7761 which models? I have the devenci 2k & 5k, this torchy 2k & the 1k, the luxtreme & the newton 1500. So far not 1 issue with any of them & that was all within this year 2022. I did have 1 issue with a nebo redline 3200 almost 2 years ago. The charging cable was torn at the base of the micro usb end. Napa (where i bought it from) replaced it no questions asked.
Not sure if you noticed or if someone else commented already but the povkrt clip is dusk directions so you can clip it on to to bill of your hat to act as a headlamp.
Nice to see a decent review on this little monster. I think it looks great, nice clip, and the rechargeable part of the torch is a great feature. The review did not drag on like some others on RUclips. The outside test was great, as most torches show the same generic pictures to show how great the torch is. You defiantly one step better in a real world test. Showing the light on the equipment is something that you would use it for in a real world example, and the magnetic bottom is a nice touch for working on a vehicle’s engine or if broken down you could possibly place on the rear of the vehicle and put on strobe mode and that would defiantly make sure that other drivers could see the strobe before they would see your hazard warning lights. You would feel a bit safer at the side of the road at nighttime. Near the end when you pointed the torch to the treetop it was a nice clear image, then you turned it on to beast mode, and i was blown away by such a small torch. Keep well and thank you.
Hey man, I appreciate all the kind words! Thanks for watching my video. I reviewed a lot of the NEBO lights just because they are cheap and haven't given me any problems and I use them daily. If you ever need a great headlamp, check out the TRANSCEND it's my personal favorite and go to light. Anyways, please like and subscribe.
@@matthewmeltonTEAMMELTONFISHINGVery helpful video.. I was very inclined to buy this flashlight but after learning that it requires magnetic charger, I changed my mind. I am looking for a type-C rechargeable pocket sized flashlight having long throw, magnetic tailcap Please guide.
I have this torch, if you long press the button it automatically comes on in low mode so you don't have to keep pressing the button to get to it. I also find that the charge terminal on the torch tends to oxidize then it wont charge, I have to scratch it with a acrewdriver to make it shiny again then it charges.
I hate when companies advertise a light like this as a 2,000 lumen when it’s really not. Yeah it does for a brief 30 seconds but in reality it’s a 500 lumen light which is what the high mode setting can actually run in. I feel it’s deceptive marketing.
I totally agree, but it's the same as going to a fast food restaurant and the food in the picture looks nice and huge and then it comes out looking like a flattened mini sandwich. This word is gone crazy my friend!
Ive owned the original 1k torchy for past 4 or 5 years. I use it for tons of home improvement jobs and random jobs in darks spaces. it clips on to the brim of my hat perfectly so I performing jobs better and safer in dark spaces. The 2K looks the like the same design except a little longer. One bugaboo is that my Original torchy has a flaw in the magnet charging base and sometimes after charging I cannot turn on the light . I have to put it back on base and turn it on and after that it works fine . If i didnt figure that out I would have thrown it away a few years ago.
You can use a normal 18650 battery with the nipple but you can't charge that battery from the nebo charger. You have to use an external battery charger.
They're standard *protected* 18650s I believe. Which is an 18650 with an extra 5mm protection circuit and button top cap. For example "Epoch 18650 3500mAh 10A - Protected Button Top Battery" for $7. And using that would increase your battery life by 60% (3500mAh vs 2200).
Yes you can but can't charge any 18650 battery in it. You have to charge it via a normal battery charger. I have this as my EDC and carry 3 ordinary 18650 batteries for it
I have both torchy lights (1000L and 2000L) I like them both, the 1000L light I use for work and has been exposed to 25 to 30 degree nights for the past two weeks, I just put it on the charger for the first time after a month, great battery. I also have the slyde king 2K as well
I'm glad you like them, try the TRANSCEND lights if you ever need a headlamp. They have been a game changer for me. I never liked headlamps before, but these are so useful. Thanks for watching, please LIKE and SUBSCRIBE. :)
Will the battery’s on the slide king 2k work on the torchy? I got 5 battery’s for the slide king 2k I wanna get a smaller flashlight like the torchy to
I have the Torchy 1k that i love.. and sometimes i use the clip to attach it to my hat to be a sort of headlamp.. does this one seem kind of big to do that in your opinion?
Can I suggest you show all lighting modes on the tree line from a distance in the future. When it's just right in front of you on the ground it's hard to tell.
A lot of companies do unfortunately. Someone did test one of their slim lights and that one actually exceeded what they claimed. This one is more of a 500 lumen light imo.
All I know is it has a one year warranty and you will have to reach out to NEBO for instructions on how to redeem that warranty. I've never had any problems with them so I couldn't tell you how it works. Thanks for watching, please like and subscribe.
hi there help me out my nebo torchy 2k , just drop out of my hand and now it not starting , what exactly the problem is , its so delicate what exactly the problem is
@@madness6372 They were the choice flashlight for our entire shop. Then the new style came out and they were pretty much trash. Now we just joke about them an no one uses them anymore. It's a shame how a good company can experience success with quality only to drop that quality later on. I will never understand the poor management not understanding the importance of quality.
Looking for a replacement pocket flashlight for my hubby. The diameter of this one is larger than the one he had so I'm curious to know is it comfortable in your pocket when you sit?
The diameter on this light doesn't bother me in my pocket but I guess it really depends on how tight you pants are and how big the pockets are. With the clip, you can clip it inside or outside the pocket. If you think the diameter might be to big then check out the inspector 500 light it's alot slimmer. As always thanks for watching! :)
Also, look at the Fenix E35V3.0. About this size and 3000 lumens. The Fenix E28R and E30R are definitely worth looking at as well, along with fhe Fenix PD36R. All awesome lights and definitely worth looking into. If you want a tiny light, look at the Nebo Swyvel. It's rechargeable via a magnetic bottom and is a super nice light and pumps out 1000 lumens
It's a standard 18650 with an extra 5mm protection circuit. You have to use a protected 18650. For example "Epoch 18650 3500mAh 10A - Protected Button Top Battery" for $7
clip broke fast on it... not a problem for me, im using it strapped on the side of work helmet. for edc, carrying it on belt or brim, look for something else. the clip is really low quality.
I just checked with some cheap amazon version of the battery.... and they are actually working just fine inside the light. Maybe the spring tail cap has something to do with it. ---- Either way.. I now know -- I have 8-10 extra batteries already at workbench. :)
its questionable. i think ledlenser came with the magnetic charging 1st. i might be wrong, ofc. also its a decent light at a decent price, not a cheap chinese rip off.
magnet on a pocket flashlight is stupid, if i wanted to pull out flashlight from my pocket, the magnet would pull out my keys, coins, knife, or whatnot
If you paid $70 for the NEBO Torchy you got shafted. I've got about 25 lights and I use 1 daily for years now and never had 1 problem. You can replace the battery in the nebo lights so I'm sure that's all it is. Thanks for watching!
@@matthewmeltonTEAMMELTONFISHING that’s what it’s going for on Amazon, actually a little more @ 84 bucks. Pure shit, never buy another. All it’s good for is smacking some asshole upside the head. It is pretty heavy
Nebo used to be a very good light. But the new models won't even take a charge even when new out of the box. Went from a great light to an absolute trash light.

How is it a proprietary battery if it's an 18650? There are a million different 18650 batteries.
