- Tried and tested, completely impressed with the beam. It does get hot if you keep blasting turbo often, but it's good to know it's there when you need it. In this video, I'll show you how it stacks up against the P20iX, and the 6 key things that make this the perfect light for police and military.

Just got two units of the p20ix after watching yours and others reviews. Awesome light. Still need a bit of a compact thrower so this P23i or even the way bigger P35i should do the trick. I’m a night worker and do everything at night so my lights have become my best friends from late night shopping, walking to the work building with no lights outside or throwing the trash at 4 AM, using my nitecores to make sure I don’t run into orb weaver spider webs lol. Great video review as always & thank you NITECORE for making quality products!
There are many good options for compact throwers. If you’re partial to nitecore they have the mh25v2! Acebeam has a series L16 through L19 and olight has the warrior x series.. Fenix has the TK20 there’s a bunch of larger ones too from all brands.
Stay safe brother
Same working nights always need a good light I would run through the Amazon Cheapos finally got a nitecore mh12s and love it
Must be an Aussie looking out for Orb weavers.... Don't get bitten; It's worse than all the known spiders everyone always talks about.
Same feeling here :)
First
i think I'm gonna replace my trusty MH12S with this one as a main light. So far, Nitecore haven't disappointed me👍👍👍👍👍.
I like the shotgun and rifle comparison. Great way of describing the difference between the 2 lights. Guess my p20ix is getting a new brother. Excellent video as usual my friend 👍
I live in a country where carrying a firearm for self defense is completely out of the question, so my flashlight is my best defense as a tool, and Nitecore is my light of choice. I carry the MH11 at all times with a spare battery. An upgrade would be awesome. Great tools.
Bought it! The MH12SE came yesterday and the P23i will be here two days after Christmas. I now own at least 24 fullsize Nitecore flashlights along with multiple tubes, batteries, etc. Nitecore fan!
Is it true it is addicting to buy tactical flashlights? I am about to buy my first one.
@@rmcf3972 True. I have hundreds!
Cannot stress enough how good your reviews are on pointing and explaining those "little" details that make night and day difference in real situations. Features, put in real life context, that the rest of the flashlight reviewers simply overlook, focusing on nuances like threads, knurlings, lanyards, etc. Those people need to understand that the momentary Turbo/Strobe ready features are of social importance. Just like the antilock brakes (ABS).
The flashlight is the undisputed best self defense tool, according to the experts: the most effective, legal, safe, non damaging and multitasking of them all.
Thing is, none of those is valid of you don't have the right one in your hands - that's where your great reviews step in.
Well done! 👍👍
I live in the Northern Territory, Australia where target acquisition at distance is paramount. I’m currently running a focusable 1000 lumen competitor flashlight and instantly can see the benefit of the N23.
Unfortunately for others, a 3000 lumen strobe will more than likely be handy as well 🤨
Keep up the great work guys 🇸🇬 🇦🇺
I love the option to go to turbo and then back to the previous setting so quickly, real game changer. I could see this replacing my olight warrior on my night walks, hunting and my security job.
That would be a great replacement for my SRT7GT With 3400mAh 18650.
The ring adjustment is not as smooth as originally described
I work security in a high crime area and have to do hourly checks around a dark warehouse this light would definitely make me feel more safe as this light has everything I need I'm using a fenix at the moment
@leeedwards3421
I use them for security also
Nitecore Brand is good quality
The only thing you need to know
It's not really a Con
but just to keep In mind
Is that they get real warm real quick
*Especially on Turbo*
even with only a few seconds of scanning
Due to their compact size
and lack of Heat Sink
Besides that everything else
Functionality Reliability and Performance
Is 100%👍👍
I use the P20i daily for LE, Fire, and Security. I would definitely recommend Nitecore. This one will definitely be my next purchase.
Good choice, and stay safe
Nitecore needs to release a P13i and a P18 that is USB-C rechargeable
I’d love to see those 2 as well! But they have other ideas, look out for the EDC27 next month. 👍
Are you guys planning on making a “P23IX”? I would love the see that. 🔥
Wich would be better in a self defence situation in a building or on the street. The P20iX with the flood strobe or the p23i. Also would the P20iX be suitsble for camping and using it for general tasks like getting fire wood or a quick walk to grab something?
What an awesome light! We have an AR 15 for home defense we got recently but no light yet. This would be perfect for us. Unfortunately my only shot is to win one having 4 kids and 1 income. I was going to look on Amazon for something cheap if I get any Christmas money. When we leave to go camping, hiking or such and can't take the rifle I could easily take it off and carry it in the holster. Right now I have a olight i3t so this would be a huge improvement all the way around for us. Great video btw! I would def buy all that for $229 if it were possible, great deal. It all looks top shelf!
woohoooo
I work as a consultant in the legal industry (documentation/evidence). Lots of late nights in cities across the country. Leaving a remote office for my hotel at 2am requires vigilance especially in downtown metro areas. Started carrying a tactical flashlight as part of my safety kit. Currently using a MT2A (based on your video on how it use it in a self defense posture - very helpful!). Loving the MT2A, but now intrigued by beefier options.
With your professional review got myself a p20ix for my work recently. Its flight safety related and a good flashlight is essential. With a new thrower i will be able to reach high up from ground level partically to the aircraft tail section. Been a nitecore fan and owned P25, MH12, MH1C and BP25 with numerous accessories just to name a few.
I’m planning to get a nitecore for edc/multi purpose use and I can’t decide which model have. It’s nitecore P23i or P20iX. Which one is the best?
You cycle into beacon mode and then you get stabbed. I haven't laughed at a review that hard in my life. Thanks now I'm buying this.
i was thinking of getting P20ix in the future...so with P23i launched, i assume there should be a P23ix coming...just a guess...i will wait and see next year
This is definitely the best light for user like me to use it in daily activities and also some specific works such as searching or mending things. And hope that I am lucky to win one for myself
working as a security guard at trainstations
this would be the perfect lite, but my srt7 revenger from 2013 is still going strong😅
The P23i looks like an really good option for my duty. I use an Wowtac A1S while I am working. It's pretty good but the user interface isn't that much superior. The P23i would be a really awesome replacement for the Wowtac A1S.
I can say by use with the 23i the user interface is even much better than I thought. I've learned to just keep it in tactical mode since it gives me the defensive mode I want always there and since I can adjust the lumen setting lower sooooo quickly, it's the dream light for me.
I use p20i for most of my work as policeman.. i really need an upgrade brightness since my working environtment getting wider.. p20ix brighter but its more of flood light.. i think this new p23i will do the justice.. i also like the tailcap which will be usefull when we get blackout and in small room..i always use p20i to light up the room by shooting the beam at ceiling but sometimes its hard coz u need to hold it..
It will help me find my drone in case of emergency. I do a lot of drone work as a photographer and a crash is always posible. I am also a proud owner of 3 dogs and this flashlight will help me locate them in the dark. Thank you for the giveaway!
Great review. I gave you a sub. Just got my 23i this evening. Wow, that thing is bright! I really like the features and the feel of the buttons. The feel does make a difference to me. I've had some lights that I didn't like the feel of how the buttons worked. I even like the holster. I will likely carry it in tactical mode and will seemingly never need it over their "low" mode of 250 lumens because of its nice concentrated beam. So glad I decided on this light. I'm truly impressed with it.
Great light and presentation! This would work damn well in the checkpoint environment. Search of vehicles with this light will be so much better with the brighter lumens! The 3000 lumens would be a useful penetration to search longer vehicles.
I recently got the 23i and took a risk not getting the Olight W3S but now I see I made the right decision. The 23i just rocks! The rear buttons work fantastic. I love the tactical mode since I have turbo always there if needed and can adjust so quickly to lower lumen power when I want.
Such a great update to my mh12s. More Lumen output, better throw and the strobe ready switch make me feel way more secure in my job as train driver. I'm very often at german train stations during duty and the crime rate there is pretty high. Also a good throw is important for me, because you often have to see over long distances in the night. Great Video!
Hey @Nitecore Lights
the video has already 500 likes.
I just wanted to remind you and hope it doesn't seem to greedy from me.
Have a nice day! ;)
Outstanding video! thank you. This will definitely be my next light purchase.
How warm/hot does it get?
It doesn't look like it's got much Heat Sink
I got the P20i which is very good
Nicore is always a top quality brand
But it does get warm real quick
After even bout only 10 seconds
It's still ok
Turbo is only for quick scanning
But this light it's got even more 3000LM
So it would get real hot...
Also i get all my light brands
Including Nitecore from Aliexpress
You have an Aliexpress shop?
Or can you match price if buy from here?
P23i = $116 AUD and Free Shipping
Including Battery
Your reviews are beyond excellent!! Factual & to the point!! 👍🏼 🇨🇦
Glad you like them!
I currently use 1800 lumens with the mh12se, so 3000 lumens is just a massive flex with this torch. I'd love to win this giveaway to have a dedicated torch in my fire kit.
Loved the video and the production behind it. The information you gave in the video helped me confirm my decision to purchase this light for my upcoming camping trip. Keep up the great work!
I bought one of these after watching your video. Very impressed with it, however the NTH20 holster that you can buy separately is not worth buying. The flashlight continually pops out of it even when you're not moving or walking so in rapid movement or if attached to a bag etc there is the risk of losing it! The flashlight though, is well worth the money.
Nylon molle
MH12SE, P20ix are formidable lights, but the P23i meets the most diverse activities, very good Nitecore release.
Top light!
This torch would be ideal for me as my last torch was stolen at work and I’m now torchless, your channel has been great for researching my next torch and this one looks perfect thank you for the information you give
I love the design and it would come in handy big time with my security job's it would be absolutely amazing to win
Buying one today great video
I work in damaged commercial buildings performing assessments through all areas (basement garges, stairwells etc.) with only hand held and head mounted lighting (when allowed). Something like this would be a huge upgrade over my current set up.
Having this light and needing it for doing inspections in all lighting conditions, the 23i rocks! I keep it in tactical mode since it is so fast to adjust the lumens to where I want them. Fantastic light!
Been using the P20I for work in SCDF. Been a great main light for rescue and search light. Battery lasts a long time and the compact size makes it easy to throw in the pocket. With more incidents occurring in the dark the further throw and brighter beam would be a great secondary light for my work.
I love my p20ix but working at with a lot of people. I tend to blind my coworkers who are in the area. So the p23i would be better suited as to only light up a certain area and not blind coworkers in the area like with the p20ix.
Bro i already have the P20IX and the TM9K TAC. Now u r making me itch to buy the P23I man... 😅
Will there be a P23IX? Maybe i should wait for that... 😅
hi there, I am working in the oil and gas construction sector. which type of torch 🔦 u recommend? and which model is following the requirement of ip68, to be used in brownfields or live plants?
the only torch 🔦 know that can be used is the pelixxx brand due to its ip68 approval, which requires the light to be water, dust and explosion-proof.
thanks in advance. do make a video of it. 😀
Hey nitecore doesn't have a wide selection of ex proof lights, only HA23 EX, EF1 and EH1 at the moment
@@NitecoreSG thanks for the recommendation
Excellent video
I just use mini size of nitecore model... haven't use the tm model.. wish get 1 for better brightness... however nitecore light solid factory made... i enjoy use this brand...
Would come in handy for my work when patrol all the outter perimeter to prevent escapes from prison at night “Correctional officer”.. 👍🏽👍🏽
Front spring of the Nitecore flashlights are really important. It happened I had dripped my p12gt at 1 meter out from the holster the battery positive end got dent and unable to contact.
I really enjoy your reviews. Always on point, no nonsense.
does it takes the knew 21700 batteries (6000 mha, 5300 mha?) from nitecore?
I think that 3000 Lumens would come in handy if you were to come up on a sasquatch you have a chance of escaping.
Impresif on my experience 3k lumens is overkill for CQB it can blind Ur self..
having P10i for a year now. very handy indeed, small and compact, using it for insect trapping, forest patrolling and using it on disaster relief as well. the only draw back is the beam distance still not enough for searching mission and for some reason the lens tend to fog up after submerged. well the massive one it's unable to tail standing, quite hard for me because using it for hour just for collecting insects. hopefully this P23i bring more runtime and able to stand for hours.
great video anyway!
All I can say is, I'm VERY happy with my 23i.
Awesome light!
Can you use the 6000mah battery from nitecore in this flashlight to get better runtimes
Abbreviations or meaning for each code name information, would be great 🙏
Which Nitecore Models can use Molicel or LG generic 21700 cell?
The p20ix with TSL10i tail cap and NTR10 ring sits on nightstand. Th tail cap always on green so can immediately see it when waking up in middle of night. The ring helps guide hand for proper grip. P20ix better for home use because of its massive flood capabilities.
The p23i with the NTR10 ring and NTH25 holster for everyday carry. Better for daily carry when out and about and need a thrower. Both great lights but both have a purpose. This is my purpose.
Being a paramedic, I use my flashlight for a wide variety of things, but all essential parts of my job. For example locate victims, search for house numbers or street names when trying to get to the caller's location, search a house's interior or trash bin for valuable information (like hidden medication packaging), provide my collegue with light to treat our patiënt, and sadly sometimes to defend ourselves when things are about to get out of hand. I currenty use a Heider 18650-flashlight, which is "okay", but not very use-friendly in terms of it's controls, plus it's having a bad connection somewhere, causing it to keep changing modes automatically. Long story short, I think the new P23i is the perfect for my job because it's compact, easy to control, has a nice mixed beam, and offers some self-defense options (strobe + bezel) in case of an emergency (obviously we as paramedics don't have any other tools to defend ourselves).
Thank you for the fun and informative reviews, you got me hooked on Nitecore!
Now I'm little bit confused. Between this one and mh12se, wich one would you recommend? I'll use in both enviroment: city (70%) and countrysides/woods (30%) for duty use. I've already had a p20v2 and I'm looking for to upgrade it. Tks!
If you’re ok with the current p20 size, then def get this over the mh12se. The beam distance and tailcap controls is worth the bump over the mh12se
I work as a humanitarian aid here in my country of Philippines. And it is very prone to all disasters all year from earthquakes to typhoons. Yes i work as an humanitarian aid but i also provide security to my team during our operations. I currently have the MH10 V2 which serves a lot to me. But the demand of my work outweighs the capabilities of my MH10 V2. So it would probably be better to upgrade into something better like the P23i. The P23i’s capabilities are superior to my work!
I’m skeptical on 3000 lumen lights of this size, I currently use the p20i both as edc and one of my duty lights. It’s great. I find that 1800 lumen is very practical for longer uses of turbo. Turbo really isn’t needed for TOO LONG but if the next level down is too much of a step down then it’s sort of silly to have a level gap of over 1900 lumen. (Referring to Fenix R series of 3000 lumen lights, goes from turbo at 3000 down to high at 1000) I’ll probably get it to try though as nitecore products have always been good to me.
Got it, love it 👍🏻
The Olight Warrior 3S does 2300 lumens for 2.5 minutes if you're looking for a long turbo mode. It depends on a person's needs. I don't see myself needing turbo for more than 30 seconds. I like the fast burst of high candela to help in defense purposes as the light has the practical lumen ranges for daily use. The 23i offers me that better than all the others I looked at.
I use nitecore lights, as an aircraft mechanic. I work night shift so they are really nice for doing walk around inspections when its dark out.
MJ, how long can P23i sustain turbo mode at 3000 Lumens before it auto dims down? The runtime at Turbo mode is stated as 30mins, I am surprise a 5000mAh battery can only last 30mins. Am I missing something? Thanks in advance for your enlightening answer.
OK. OK. O.K. You have totally convinced me to slide out my credit card and drain my bank account a little and buy one of these very powerful and useful flashlights. Keep up your excellent presentations…you are one of the best online sales representatives out there (by the way, ask your boss for a much deserved raise will you - tell him I sent you) 😂😂😂)...👍👍👍👏👏👏😊😊😊
This light will be my EDC and I will share with my local law enforcement and personal protection training friends and family here in Detroit Michigan.
How long can we keep the turbo consistently on? Thank you
I picked up my p23i a few hours ago to replace my mh12v2 i bought just a couple months ago as edc in my jacket.
I love my mh12v2,but i wanted even longer range and better ability to break car Windows during car accidents (i can happen at any time).
Really impressed by the rugged build quality,still haven't tried it outside,so i am really looking forward to testing it more.
The mh12v2 impressed me alot,so i know my new p23i is going to blow my mind hehehe.
I started with 2dollar led lights,this is my 3 Nitecore flashlight i have bought within a year or 2,and i can already feel the need for many more,i guess i am hooked on your flashlights hehehe.
Thanks for making awesome products and for being so active on social media with great videos. :)
Love my p10i I use for work this new one would be better cuz of distance looking for addresses at night
Okay It will be hard to explain to my fiancee why I need another new Flashlight after getting the P20iX recently. I guess I have to rely on that giveaway.
Really have to thank you guys for the awesome Flashlights, my older P20 which is in retirement now was my best friend during the Night Shifts and saved alot of lifes already, mine included.
It would be awesome to get my Hands on the new P23i either through this giveaway or buying it later. :)
I use an Olight Warrior Pro I'm a license plumber
Hi there,
How does this compare to the Fenix TK20R v2. The outside design looks much more robust on the P23i but in terms of turbo runtime, I most interested as all lights claim hours of runtime like the TO20R v2 says 3000l at 2hrs 50min is so untrue.
While P23i says 3000l for 30min, I’m assuming it steps down after 20sec or so, but to how much lumens and for how long?
Great light as always, as a person working night shift. this light will help me every bit of time, i am currently using a sofirn SP10S and this light will be a great upgraden for my EDC
Can you make the rear mode change button larger like all the way around the tail cap and not just on one side? I really like the idea but with the mode change button being mostly flat it's not so easy to find especially under stress. Why not make the mode change button go all the way around the tail cap so no matter how you pick the light up you will easily find the mode change button?
Maybe it's not technically possible but seems like it could be. Thank you for the video Nitecore has been making great lights for years I still love my old Infilux 2 and D10 with the "Piston" switch.
as a assistant wedding photographer, this would be the best light. especially after hunting the sunset on a remote area.
Hi, Does This Work TSL10i Cap?
i didn't know this model existed.. i just ordered p10i lol. i prefer compact model but i can't miss 3k lumens..damn
You could always just flip the MH12S or MH12SE around with your fingers to access the mode button. 03:00
I am not in law enforcement or the military. We live in a rural area where there are virtually no city lights. We live next to my father in law who is dependent on us to help him. There are many times that he calls us at night to come down and help him. With no lights in the area and his house being a ways away we need to use flashlights to find our way. Currently, we just use some energizer flashlights which have 350 lumens. It doesn't light up as much as I would like to feel safe. This flashlight would allow us to see anything (mainly animals) that may be in our path and scare them off. This would help my wife feel safer as well.
Thanks Nitecore!
That defense bezel is perfect imagine taking care of 120 inmates to “ 1” officer you need as much safe defense items possible 🤞🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Hey friend, did I win the P23i. If I did thanks.
I like so much of nitecore products. Since my first p20 I have EC21, NU 21 and many others and no stop yet. This new p23 looks very effective for my line of work. Much more light increase my vision and I used to work in the field ops. So see first and see better is way to sucess. And I want that p23.👊👊👊
a light like this would be invaluable for me. I work as a security officer for a large scientific exhibition centre in Scotland and the supplied torch is just a cheap Chinese thing. It's an RS Components branded torch (flood) and its bright enough for some of my rounds but there are a few long corridors that just disappear into darkness. So now i'm here looking at this. Hope I win!!!! If not, i'll probably buy myself a MH12se as the throw on that thing looks amazing.
I would love that light I work as a gardener in Germany and in the winter it's always dark till 8:30am and I also go to South Africa every year on safari but I still need a good flashlight for the night time safari drives.
Love your videos!
I'm a police officer in Central Florida. I was gifted a flashlight by my father 12 years ago when I began my career and it stayed with me until last week when it finally stopped working properly. I hope to win the P23i giveaway because I've recently used my partner's P20ix and can definitely voice for the outstanding quality and law enforcement application practicality of Nitecore lights. Great review! Please consider me for the giveaway.
I am still student and working on a farm. I have really long way to school, so this flashlight would be really useful in situations when something unexpected happen or during traveling. Also on the farm when some Animal run Away and you need to fond them 😃 I am actually using armytek prime C2 pro
I have collected numerous nightcore lights for years. One of the great lineup of nightcore have are the PXXi-Xeries. P10iX is your standard floodlight its great for closeup that can replace your typical bar light. But its sales online in several shops are not as quite as popular as the P20iX which have a great balance have much brighter spot and more reasonable flood. Also its great having a strike bezel unlike the P10iX. Then there is the P20i. A not so great light because of mediocre feature. Only have strobe and fewer lighting mode. This P23i is a huge upgrade in terms of light output and being a true tactical flashlight. Having a high ccd and higher lumens mean its much bettet than its predecessor. P20i only comes with 4000 mah battert while the latest P23i comes with additional 1000 with 5000mah battery. Also the tailcap is a great addition It would be great if I can have this in my collection.
I work as a security guard and part time firefighter. Have been using an Olight M2R but that’s much more of a flood beam and doesn’t serve as well for doing searches. Especially in less than desirable conditions. This light would be a great Xmas gift :)
Your reviews is always great, this light very good also for EDC, can be use for self defense as well. I love nitecore products I'm using now t4k but can only burst 4,000 lumens for 10 sec. Wish it has 500 lumens after the 200 lumens. Anyway this will be awesome light to carry for outdoor or indoor use.
Hi ! Is it normal for the tail cap (or the tube itself) to be hard to screw in and need some force or pressure to screw it back and feel something is grinding between the battery and the tail cap ... or is it the threads?
is the ntr10 compatible with p23i
Do strobe cause problems to your flashlight? also how long this flashlight can run in turbo mode before stepdown ?
The p23i steps down from 3k lumens to 1800lumens after approx 30seconds.The nice thing is that it stays on 1800lumens until the battery runs out,around 2h30min on 1800lumens,good performance.
This will be perfect for walking my small dog in the evening. Good enough spill to see the footpath but high enough candela to deter these bigger dogs that are prowling around on the loose with no leash or owner to be found. Would rather hit them with some candela than something else.
I've been looking at the Nitcore lights for a long time. But unfortunately the models that I want aren't available in my country. I'm currently doing residential security in a medium sized housing community. Thankfully it's well lit. But if I have to look at something in the dark, it's the trusty phone flashlight that I have to rely on. This would be a lifesaver for me!
I am using the tini 2 and tip SE for inspecting aircraft at night, both inside the cabin/cockpit and externally during walk arounds. There are times that the aircraft is far away, which made me realize that I need a more powerful flashlight that has a higher throw.
Is it any reason why Nitecore does not provide proximity sensor (to dim the light) to this P23i model?
They didn’t have the tech yet at this point. It only appeared later on in the mh12 pro
This will help keep me safe on my nightly walks through my high crime neighborhood.
I'm a first responder and I'm using a mag-light with 230 lumen. I desperately need a work light with more power for better search and scenario assessment!
For how long the 3,000 lumens works?
