Finally! I really wanted this comparison for a long time! Thank you so much for making it happen! 😍😍😍
I am glad to have done it for ya mate! Thanks for the support!
These are both amazing lights. I have purchased 3 P20iX’s because I had coworkers like them so much. Either of these will kick the shit out of a store bought mag lite product.
Personally in industrial factory work we preferred the Nightcore retention plastic holster on this model as it won’t come out unless you pull in a specific direction which is handy when crawling under machinery.
I have the Nitecore P20iX.
The reason is reliability and longevity. I can't afford a light stopping work in the dark for whatever reason.
The LEDs in the Olight flashlight, without thermal limiter, will only last for a small number of thermal cycles (between 500 and 1000) before they get delaminated (phosphors detaching from the InGaN die); while the LEDs in the Nitecore, being always in characteristic, will deliver all the rated lifetime (50,000 hrs) independently from how many times they have been cycled.
Both flashlights are very sensitive to the internal resistance of the battery; anything above 20 mΩ will degrade operations significantly. Sadly it is not possible to use an high grade vape battery in both lights, because they use modified 21700 cells (right because of reducing internal resistance by not relying on the flashlight body contacts), so replace the cells every 100 cycles, and never operate the light below 0 °C (32 °F).

Well done. Very similar lights on first look, but oh so different. Cheers
Exactly!!
Incidentally these two are those that are always in my bag. I don't think the tail magnet on the Seeker 3 Pro is for attaching to metal surface, unlike the Baton. It is not strong enough to attach vertically or horizontally, strictly for the magnetic charger, though unlike the P20ix it can tailstand easily. Also one thing you cannot see immediately is that the Seeker 3 Pro will not turbo if the battery is below certain level, I think 50 or so.
I like the tint of the P20ix better because it is less annoying to my eyes at least, but reading many forums I can see many people hate the tint shift (or "Cree Tint Shift" some call it). The size feels better in my hand as well. However, the P20ix gets uncomfortably hot if you use it at anything above level 3 for more than a few minutes, while the Seeker 3 Pro here can do High and still feels fairly comfortable in hand without glove for quite a while.
Here in Indonesia Nitecores are way cheaper, the P20ix costing about IDR 1.5mil while the Seeker 3 Pro costs IDR 2.3mil both on their respective official stores. Maybe that's because Nitecore's largest distribution center is just next door in Singapore, not to mention it is Singapore's favorite brand.
wow, thanks for the comment bro! I wish i had access to such cheap Nitecore haha. Thanks mate! I hope you keep watching my channel
I know it'll add into the cost but Nitecore recently sells a U shaped tail cap (NTC2i) that you can use to replace your P2iX's cap that will allow you to tail stand. The recently released Nitecore P23i came with this tail cap by default.
I go Olight Seeker 3 Pro. I have one and it’s fantastic. Really bright. Even have a pocket clip for it.
Yeah I hear the pocket clips are good
Hey what's going on bro! I just wanted to say that I really enjoyed your video today you had 2 very nice flashlights so it's really hard to choose from! But I guess it's going to come down to the price! But thank you so much for a great video and your time! Until next time God bless you and your family
and your family
Thanks mate. Appreciate the support brother
There is also a slightly newer little brother of the P20ix, which is the P10ix. Worth a look as well.
@@rps215 Yes, i am aware of that one. It's amazing
Nitecore turbo mode runs around 2.5 hours. The asterisk is with factory heat ramping turned off IIRC (not available to consumers; if you read the asterisk info). There are a few runtime tests available on the Internet.
Thanks mate
Nitecore! Thanks for the review mate 👍
Cheers mate!
Love my Seeker 3 Pro for camping, around the house and working on the car etc because of the magnetic end. However, I also got the warrior 3s for the tactical option as it produces a different throw beam. Good comparison vid!
2 very good choices bro
Man these are so different, the NITECORE was made for self defense, all switches are on the back for one handed operation, holster for easy access, tactical mode to take away mode memory and steel bezel with ceramic beads for breaking things like faces and glass, that nitecore will eat that olights lunch then laugh 😂
@@Lee-lb9qh the only thing that nitecore will break is your wallet 😂
@@deepshallows if $120 breaks your wallet that sucks for you😂
@@Lee-lb9qh got many more lights with $120 than a lonely black stick 😂
Love ur videos first off second im starting to collect flashlights and was wondering which one should i get first any thoughts?
First choice is always tricky. It depends on budget and what you will use it for.
I would look into fenix, olight, nitecore, weltool, acebeam. they are my top brands. but they are big brands so will be more costly than lets say convoy, wurrkos, manker, wuben.
Do some thinking about what you will use it for and get back to me so we can narrow down some options
Sorry for the late reply currently im using bottle and can money to buy these flashlights currently work as a security guard for a senior independant living home during the overnight and i patrol outside at random times so im looking for a flashlight that can handle the elements and a power outage as well as the ability to help with everyday things i currently have the thrunite tt20, wurkkos ts22 and the thrunite archer 2a v3 and have the fenix pd36r pro coming in the mail
I have both of these and before even watching this video I prefer my nitecore for overall performance
Nice man, thanks for the comment
I don't understand the term "tactical" when referring to flashlights, does it just mean that it has a tail switch or is there more to it than that? Because the positioning of a switch shouldn't require a new product category.
It has become murky waters this whole "tactical" thing. In my experience and opinion, the term tactical is just a marketing word used by companies to compete with each other. Because a light that is used in conjunction with a special operations group or some kind of organisation that runs tactical operations is by association a tactical light. Now, that could be almost any light that exists. Yes, there are many lights that would be more useful in those situations, like single switch lights, single output lights, and so on. But really, a light is not tactical until it is used in a tactical situation.
Marketing is beast of its own
the Nitecore doesn't stay on turbo as a safety feature. so if you leave the light on you want burn a hole in your pocket or start a fire
Seeker 3 almost caught me on fire... I do Pest control for a living, and it turned on somehow in holster and melted the top of it and I started smelling something while reaching into my truck and something was burning, and it was me! Great point to make.... They absolutely will burn your house down if you don't watch them!
I will have to look into that. I do use a nitecore that clips on my hat and I really like it! 😊
You get a holster with the Seeker 3 Pro. I did with mine.
Olight 💯
I don’t think is a good comparison. This is apples to oranges.
Fair enough. There are plenty of differences, they are designed for different purposes. But in my opinion, Nitecore vs Olight is always a good comparison. Thanks for your comment mate
