Keep an eye on it. We found some that eventually flicker, but they are totally covered by warranty. Use it a lot and keep an eye on the beam quality. I did a follow up video for more details. My new one has been perfect so far.
Turbo is achieved through the secondary button like you mentioned. I'm not certain that there is a way to program it to on all the time because it only stays on turbo for like 5 or 6 seconds and then dims down.
I owen the TM3. I Replaced the bezel with a aggressive style bezel. I hope that someone makes one of those for this!! I'm in Chicago IL and well...thanks
Damn it!! I watched one of your videos last night on a head lamp And ended up ordering that and two very nice flashlights... and now this video pops up....lol
Great Shot show pick up! Glad there was no " C 19 " back then. I really like the fact that its low mode is 30Lm Oher flashlight low modes are quite useless. imo Thank you for the detailed outdoor night testing.
I shot of my use is on my 1 lumen mode. I use it in the dark. Not for working on cars. Not much point of having a "ultra" low mode of 30 lumens. That's stupid bright For "ultra" it should be 5 max. But yes when I'm actuslly in any sort of light 30 is fitting
I would say it depends on the user and intended purpose. For me, I find 5 lumen or less to be under my personal desired output, but I do understand why people would like it. From Nitecore's perspective, they made this as a high output tactical light...so generally for defense or search and rescue...so I am not surprised the ultra low is 30 lumen. I mean...they had to name it something...and for this given output range, 30 is their ultra low. I guess they could call it low-low? Low, medium, medium-high, high, turbo? They have 5 outputs and need 5 names...who cares what they call it, right?
Mine just started doing that too...I will be contacting Nitecore very soon and I will try to get some feedback. It's on two of the modes, just like yours...medium and high. I will get back to you once I find out more.
I just submitted a request on their contact page under my personal email. Sometimes companies respond to reviewers differently from general consumers. My light was given to me by the company, so let's test their customer service a little bit here and see how they respond as if I am the general consumer. I'll keep you posted.
Hi, could this be taken on a plane? Wouldn't be able to store in the hold as the battery can't be removed but would it not be classed as a weapon if stored in hand luggage!? I could use this for work but I travel a lot, If it had a removable battery it would be almost perfect!
I am not at all sure about taking this on a plane. I would not want to give you bad advice. I would suggest that you are correct that it could not go in your luggage, but it could probably go with you in the carry on. But again, I am not truly sure.
I think this is sort of a class of its own...I'm not aware that other brands have flashlights quite like this one...design/function/output in sort of its own class I would say. But I obviously don't see every product out there.
Great video and light but built in battery is a disappointing deal breaker for me. The components will last far longer than the battery. IMO..i cant pay so much for something that has disposable batteries built in.in turn making an expensive disposable light. I knew that this cool light was tooooo good to be all true..again,,great video and demonstration.
Thanks! Yeah, I will monitor the battery. So far no problem. I do use this as my option for my back pack carry. I use it for inspections and far throw scanarios...not so much my true EDC at this point, but it is part of my essential kit. Thanks for watching!
You wanna tell me that I not having the brightest flashlight on earth with my Fenix TK75 wich get outperformed by nearly double lumen? Sad not comparison can be found. But to be honest, the tk75 has no really a usecase for me. It is way to bright for outdoor. It takes away totally the atmosphere of a forest in the dark, there is no dark anymore. But double lumen? Wtf…
There are Comparable High Output Flashlights out there that DO have Replaceable Batteries. Just sayin! I LOVE Nitecore, but this Integrated Battery Turns Me off. Are you listening Nitecore?
Better go for Acebeam x80 gt. It has turbo mode on 30000lumens for about 30 seconds ;) Its a bit bigger light though (But still pretty compact compared to how much lumens it gives out.)
Awesome that it can hit 9000+.. but if only for a few seconds, why bother.. I don't want a light to just impress ppl. I want a light that's impressive and stays putting in the work
So it stays on High for 3 seconds and the next power mode is 1900 lumens. Thats makes me LOL literally bro! Thanx for the video. Showed me what light im not gonna buy. How silly! Marketing gimmick smfh.
It's better than you'd think...it's pretty useful regardless of the length of time. What do you need a flashlight like the TM9K for? What do you do that requires a light like that?
@@outerlimitless Im Police. Its useless bro! 1900 lumens is garbage and thats what ur left with after 3 fucking seconds! Its a failed light bro! Again, MARKETING GIMMICK!
Yeah, but the high mode is still ridiculous...if you felt the heat generated by 9500 lumens you'd understand. What do you need 9500 lumens for anyway? What do you use a flashlight like this for? Do you use if for work? Inspections? Law enforcement? I'm curious what you use this for in a true practical use application?
Great review man! I've always been a fan of Nitecore lights. I purchased this based on your excellent review. Thanks for doing this.
Keep an eye on it. We found some that eventually flicker, but they are totally covered by warranty. Use it a lot and keep an eye on the beam quality. I did a follow up video for more details. My new one has been perfect so far.
Because I’ve watch this video twice, once my TM9K comes in the mail every time I hit that 9500 lumen turbo burst button, I’m going to yell “BOOM!”😂
You don't necessarily have to yell it, but you at least have to say it convincingly.... boom!
Can you remove the tail cap and put a remote switch, in order to use it on a gun?
to on turbo always hold press mode button?cannot setup one time/double or triple press mode button like strobe?help..
Turbo is achieved through the secondary button like you mentioned. I'm not certain that there is a way to program it to on all the time because it only stays on turbo for like 5 or 6 seconds and then dims down.
Was thinking about buying it, but it only stays on for 5 seconds in turbo mode
You don't need much more than that... but I hear ya...
I owen the TM3. I Replaced the bezel with a aggressive style bezel. I hope that someone makes one of those for this!! I'm in Chicago IL and well...thanks
This bezel is not a true "strike bezel". It has some ridges, but I suspect you're looking for a more aggressive ridge on the front.
Hi
Can I open and replace the battery?
No, it's a built in battery. Good question though!
@@outerlimitless
ok . Good . Thanks
nervous when you turn it off pitch black then you turn it on again dont know what will be in front of you
Thanks for filming
Thanks for watching!
How long will the strobe stay on at 9.5k?
im planning to buy this light but i found out that you cant change the battery, its built in, well? thats a no, no, for me.
It's a tough one...great performing light...and no battery problems yet. But replacment battery options would be preferable.
I'd rather stick to the TM28.
thats cause ur stupid and have idea what ur talking about
Did anyone find a strike bezel to replace the on that comes with it. I'm in Chicago IL South Side and I need the thunder ⛈ with that lighting!
I have personally never looked into it. The bezel does very easily unthread...I just tried it...no problem.
Does it have the spotlight...?
Damn it!! I watched one of your videos last night on a head lamp
And ended up ordering that and two very nice flashlights... and now this video pops up....lol
Haha, sorry!! What did you end up buying?
Very very cool video
I wish the tail cap would be different, so I can use it as a night stand light .
Yeah, I sorta lie mine down sideways and bounce it off the wall...still more than enough light.
@@outerlimitless Can you remove the tail cap and put a remote switch, in order to use it on a gun?
@@aldopalacios7601 nothing on this light unthreads... the tail cap is fixed
How the about when the battery death or expired?
I guess we'll see someday. Not sure!

@@outerlimitless for search and rescue i agree. But there's huge gaps on the lumen output. Maybe spread those out
My Nitecore TM9K flickers on medium and high even after a full charge. Any feedback will be appreciated.
Mine just started doing that too...I will be contacting Nitecore very soon and I will try to get some feedback. It's on two of the modes, just like yours...medium and high. I will get back to you once I find out more.
@@outerlimitless Thank you, I also will be reaching out to Nitecore about the problem.

@@outerlimitless Thank you, I got one anyway last week so I'll probably soon find out! Thanks for the review...
Looks good. Worth taking a look at :D
I prefer the Fenix 10,000 lumen lr35r which is similar brightness that has removable batteries if Nightcore made the battery removable I would buy it
if I'm not mistaken your in good ole NE ;)
Whats comparable to it??!
I think this is sort of a class of its own...I'm not aware that other brands have flashlights quite like this one...design/function/output in sort of its own class I would say. But I obviously don't see every product out there.
have you checked out the Lumintop FW21 Pro 10,000 Lumin? It is on the edge of insanity..lol.. can take the place of a 4th of july firework..
I have not checked that out yet...I definitely will...I have had a few lumintops and greatly liked the quality.
IMO after you get past 5000 lumens we should just switch over to the Scoville unit..
Haha, I agree!!
Great video and light but built in battery is a disappointing deal breaker for me. The components will last far longer than the battery.

Best nitecore
I still love mine!
Isn't this flashlight actually trash though? The battery is built-in, so it won't be long before it ends up there.
There are Comparable High Output Flashlights out there that DO have Replaceable Batteries. Just sayin! I LOVE Nitecore, but this Integrated Battery Turns Me off. Are you listening Nitecore?
I haven't had too many problems with the battery, but I also have somewhat moved onto other flashlights at this point.
This thing is really not simple, such a small one can produce 9500 lumens of brightness, I also bought one today.
I think you'll be quite impressed! It's an awesome flashlight!
It last for 7 seconds actually
7 seconds of fun! and HEAT!
Better go for Acebeam x80 gt. It has turbo mode on 30000lumens for about 30 seconds ;) Its a bit bigger light though (But still pretty compact compared to how much lumens it gives out.)
Wanna see my little monster 😛. I’ve seen there older model on drop.com really looked cool 😍.
Oh Bueler...I'm blushing...
Integral battery? I'm out.
So far so good! Used mine again today!
5 second turbo I’m out.
@@JB-wt7mu For real
@Wicker World who’s spotting wildlife? I want to light that burglar up.
@Wicker World Yea good point.

5 secs in turbo is ridiculous and unusable.
Well the trap here are the lumens. If youre outside and run out of battery then your flashlight is useless.
AHAHAHAHA... I Know where that is..... 10min from me...
9,500 ( 6 seg.)🤬🤬🤬🤬
trash only lasts your turbo system 5 seconds, waste of money🤬🤬🤬🤬
Yeah, but the high mode is still ridiculous...if you felt the heat generated by 9500 lumens you'd understand. What do you need 9500 lumens for anyway? What do you use a flashlight like this for? Do you use if for work? Inspections? Law enforcement? I'm curious what you use this for in a true practical use application?
And you might be right...maybe it is a waste of money to most people...it's hard to say.
