#NITECORE#FlashlightReviews#TM28
Thank you. I’m a quad ray believer as well thanks to you. Currently own the TM-26, TM-26GT and TM-28.
Yes in deed my all time favorites. Thanks for watching!
I just got my TM28 today!!!! I'm so excited! thanks for the review.
mixflip Your gonna love that light! Thanks for watching
How much
@@gyucbb795 It's normally around $400USD.
Awesome! Phenomenal light, reviewed phenomenally! 😁😁😁👍👍👍✌🏻🙏🇺🇸
Thanks for the support and watching!
Great review 😁👍I'm expecting mine today super excited in the future I'd like to get the extended battery back for it
Thanks for sharing 😁✌
Thanks for watching!
I got one other day they are amazing
I agree. Thanks for watching!
Outstanding review, so helpful and has helped me to decide to purchase this torch. I'm also considering purchasing an additional set of the IMR batteries so that I have a spare set in my pocket, in case the others go flat.
YW! Thanks for watching!
@@CharlesBridgTec looks an amazing torch and the relatively compact size is going to be so useful for me as I can probably fit it in my jacket pocket which is always a big advantage for me.
I have the model down. I would so love to test this one. I am a flashlight consumer. I am a Nitecoreman all the way. I have 9 of their lights, and all my batterie chargers are the smart chargers that will discharge and then recharge to full status. I would so love to test this model. I have never used a light with IMR batteries. This would be fascinating to test out.
Great review. Thank you very much!
Thanks for watching!
I've been obsessed with flashlights since I was probably 4 years old. Not sure why but I always had a collection. Now I have a Nitecore TM15 and E4K as my primary lights. Have you ever done a comparison between the TM15 and TM28. I'm considering a TM28, if it's a significant step up from the 15.
I own three TM15 lights. I may do a few night shots of it in the future maybe the TM28 comparison with it. Thanks for watching!
@@CharlesBridgTec Three, you say.. That's awesome! Sounds great! Thanks for sharing with us!
I own a Nitecore TM06S which kind of looks like the smaller version of this model (TM28) and one thing I LOVE about the TM06S was that when set to Turbo i would get a SOLID 10 minutes before any lumin drop was visible.
Even tho it says 1hr on turbo and actually only lasts 10 minutes on MAXIMUM lumin before it drops, compared to other flashlight Turbos that's really good!
Some lights are only on Turbo for 10 seconds to at most (usually) 4 minutes before it drops significantly, regardless of the hours it says it's supposed to be on turbo for.
Anyway, every time I left it on Turbo I got 10 minutes before it starts to slowly drop.
I'd love it more if companies would ACTUALLY tell you how long it lasts on maximum lumin, but I was glad I purchased it.
@@dsandoval9396 That's pretty good for a smaller light. The smaller the light, the quicker the taper in output, due to less surface area for heat dissipation. My TM15 stays on turbo, without any decrease in output, whereas my E4K steps down within 20 seconds. E4K is crazy bright for it's size, and the TM06S looks like a badass little light. Definitely love Nitecore.
That is so bright (6,000 lumens). Can you see aliens or UFOs up in the dark sky with that thing while shining it up there? I needs to get me one of these!!!
Eric 46 M3 LOL... Thanks for watching!
I came across it while searching for Nitecore SRT7GT one. I plan on getting one soon. But I have a question/little concern about the Stand-by flashing light on the side on the head part of the flashlight... Will it drain the battery if we leave it on Stand-by mode for several days or weeks?
Eric 46 M3 The SRT7GT will take 3 months in standby to drain it down to 3.1v so you will recharge it if you plan to use it after long storage. You can loosen the tailcap to give better life on the cell you use.
Just got one based on this review. I charged the batteries that came with it in a Nitecore SC 4 and 3 out of the 4 batteries are showing "Poor" on the resistance, even after charging twice. One is over 500 mΩ. Are these faulty?
This light came out a long time ago. Did the batteries charge fully? Try using them to see if ohms go down. Cycle them at least 3 times. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for Great video
Thanks for watching!
The 3100 mah battery’s it came with work with turbo and when I put in the 3400 mah it only does 4500? Why is that?
Because you have to set the battery type when you first install batteries in order to get 6000 lumens. If you don't set this then your flashlight will only go to the lower outputs. Thanks for watching!
Charles BridgTec ahhhhh great thank you 🙏🏻
Nice review !
Ronny C Thanks for watching!
I just got da Nitecore TM16GT n its just superior man cost me like 230, this one is 400 😢😢 i want it so bad....
Anubis R Thanks for watching!
Hi I have the tm26 4000lm version and was wondering how this compares. Is it worth the upgrade? Looking for a bit more throw in my light but still need the small form factor and decent flood too. Thanks for the vid!
On your video the Nitecore TM28 seems to be even brighter than the Fenix TK72 despite it is rated with 3000 Lumen less. Is The Nitecore actually brighter than the Fenix and maybe even the Olight X7R Marauder or does it just seems that way because the beam of the Nitecore is more focused?
Correct. The Nitecore is more of a combinstion beam verses the Fenix is a pure flood beam. So the Nitecore will throw farther in meters. Thanks for watching!
hi! great video.
what would be your personal opinion and choice between the TM28 and Acebeam x45?
TM28! Thanks for watching!
In movie “Resident Evil:The Final Chapter”,did Alice use this TM28 ?
⊙．⊙
安迪吳 Maybe? Thanks for watching!
Are you asking this under every video that reviews this flashlight? You posted this question here as well: th-cam.com/video/Epyhm8mE_2w/w-d-xo.html
吳安迪 She used a TM26 which was specially made for the Resident Evil movie using the unbrella logo on the button and on the side.
@@LeviAckerman-ln8kt Lol
LOL imagine you use them as headlights for your car :D
Levi Ackerman Acctually this is brighter than both headlight combined. Thanks for watching!
Charles, do you like the TM28 or the Imalent RS50 better?
Those have two different beam types. The TM28 has a combination beam which are my favorite plus the quad rays are as well. Thanks for watching!
Would you recommend this light or something else in 2022?
The quad rays are my all time favorite lights. The TM28 is superior light in build quality and beam performance. Thanks for watching!
@@CharlesBridgTec my TM28 showed up today. Ridiculously good and Bright!! Your comments are spot on, build quality is absolutely pristine!!!
@@jasoncook5907 You're gonna love it for it run at 1700 lumens without step down. The 6k is still amazing after all these years. You can also buy the battery pack to increase your runtimes.
@@CharlesBridgTec 1700 Lumens isn't one of it's run options. Do you mean 2300 Lumens??
@@jasoncook5907 Yes my bad. That's the TM26 and TM26GT.
wait can it stay on 6000 turbo for 45 mins? or will it step down due to thermal?
No. It cycle down to high after 7 minutes if in cool weather. Thanks for watching!
So I did not catch if you can not use the IMR batteries and use the batteries I like the best. The Orbtronic 3400 mAh. This would be like my TM26 version 3 which that is what I use with the Orbtronic batteries. I also use them in my other lights because of they just last so long and have such a great long lasting charge. As well you can just leave them in the light on standby, and it does not use up very much of the drain on the battery, so it is ready to rock and roll. I think you said in your review that you can use this type of batterie. I also own a bunch of Nitcore batteries, but I seem to lean towards the Orbtronics just being truthful. I have to get the best I can get when I am out and about. Unusually high up in the mountains. 14,000 ft. Just to also let you know if you go out a lot in the woods. I would purchase get the Nitecore USB charger with the adapter, so you charge these bigger batteries with your solar panel when you're off the grid and have no way to charge them. It works great when just leaving them hooked up to your backpack battery charger. I always keep at least 3 or 4 sets of the batteries, so I have a backup. This is so Very important when off the grid and not in town or have a car with you to charge them faster.
JAKEJHUNTER VIKING-WARRIOR Yes you can use protected batteries but you have to enter that in the settings after inserting battery type selection. When using these batteries 6000 lumens turbo will not be available. Thanks for watching!
have you compared these to the Nitecore Concept 2? Kinda tempted to find a concept 2 just as part of the collection
I have the Concept 2 that I reviewed. Smaller but a little different beam as well. Thanks for watching!
Wait? So the battery’s they ship with that flashlight do not have enough charge the achieve the 6000 lumens in turbo?
They do. Thanks for watching!
Can the 6000 lumens be used with the batteries it comes with?
Jonathan Attaway Yes of coarse! Thanks for watching!
Charles BridgTec makes sense. I am reading more about this light. Having a hard time justifying the price but i do like the performance.
It goes on sale a lot! Keep an eye out on it to get it to save money! Thanks for watching!
Charles BridgTec is 330 good? Best i can find right now.
Thats with batteries
Hi there, what would be your personal preference on choosing between the TM26, TM28 or the Olight X7R Marauder. As an all round flashlight? Many thanks!
1st is the Nitecore TM26GT then the TM28 then TM26 are my all time favorite flashlights! Thanks for watching!
Charles BridgTec thanks for the reply. I really like your videos, very informative and really well constructed. You’ve helped me decide on my new ‘main’ light. I’m going to go with the TM28, it will be more than what i need and then some lol. But you can never have enough light! Thanks again 👍🏼
No problem! Take care.
Charles BridgTec why the tm26 over the tm28
bcoz all the bundles they sell in Amazon doesn't come with adapter. does banggood the only seller with this bundle?
Yes it is a included accessory.
Hi. I'm having an issue with flat top 18650. I got some of the LG HG2 and have placed the adapter on top of them, but when I screw the torch back together, the screen does not come on. Its as if there not making a connection. I can confirm the batteries are fully charged. I was wondering if you experienced this or have heard of other people suffering this issue. The only thing I can think of is it might be something to do with the terminals in the tail piece of the TM28, as the adapter is in place. Just thought I would ask you first, before contacting the place of purchase to see if they can replace the TM28 to see if the replacement suffers the same issue with flat tops. Thanks.
Try this first. Try to bend the tail cap contacts up a little to see if they make contact. I have never had this issue before and I use other flattop cells as well. Make sure the tail cap is tight. Thanks for watching!
@@CharlesBridgTec Thanks I'll try that, I have a plastic bradawl from my girlfriend's craft kit, so I'll try to bend them up a little with that, as I don't want to mark the inner in case the place of purchase wants to inspect it, before giving me a replacement. Yes the tail cap was as tight as I could get it
@@CharlesBridgTec Just tried bending the terminals up a bit, but still not working. I suspect that when I tighten the tail cap back in place, it presses/bends the terminals back down. I'll get in touch with the place of purchase and see if I can get it replaced. Hopefully a replacement won't suffer this issue. Thanks for the help.
Is the adapter being used correctly?
@@CharlesBridgTec Yes I placed it with the centre pin facing down (I watched your video showing where you placed it to be doubly sure). I’ve managed to get the place of purchase to send me out a replacement TM28 so hopefully this one will work with the flat top cells. I suspect there is something just a little bit off with the terminals areas on my particular one, as flat tops are compatible with this model and looking on Google for the same problem, I found no other posts with this issue, so I suspect it’s an isolated issue that I’m seeing. Thanks for the help.
Your reports are good, that's why I bought the MT 40, only now. But you should look at the price here ... not acceptable
MT40? What does that have to do with the TM28? Also I have not reviewed the MT40 but Nitrcore quality is not cheap but my discount helps a lot. Thanks for watching!
@@CharlesBridgTec The comparison with this lamp, Haikelite MT40 SST-40, and the price. So i choose this
@@hartwinbruckner9260 I love the quad rays but the Haikelite MT40 is a great light.
I ordered one from ebay. Im so sad that the first thing i saw when i pluged in for charging, was an "error" message. I expected more from a $300 flashlight
That error is a battery issue, make sure you have the batteries in right and barrel tight. Thanks for watching!
@@CharlesBridgTec the bateries are well placed, it shows the same error with the large baterie pack.
@@CharlesBridgTec please con you tell me something more about that "error" message when charging, i cant find too much on Google, and im seriouslly thinking on ask for a refund :/
What batteries are you using?
@@CharlesBridgTec the imr,s especially designed por the tm28, but the seller from ebay told me to quick conect and disconect the large batery pack to "restart" the circuit ir something and that seems to work, cause its charging now. Nice flashlight by the way!!!
I watch all of your flashlight videos awesome I want to buy a light but am confused am thinking of the tm28 or the imalent dx80 or the dt70 but I like the tm28 style
Thanks for watching!
Is this any better than the Fenix tk72r?
This is more of a combination thrower verses the Fenix TK72R is all flood but still throws pretty good. I did a review of both should you want to see the night shots to compare them. Thanks for watching!
Yes I saw both review and ordered the tk72r as was a lot cheaper,I use the thrunite v6 as my mini thrower. Thanks
Hi.
I have been looking around for some flat top 18650 for my TM28. I was looking at getting some of the LG HG2 20A that you mention in the video. I live in the UK, and looking around on some of the websites, they mention "discontinued by the manufacturer" and they seem scarce over here and the shops that do have some are charging a very high price for them.
I was wondering if you could recommend some high quality and reliable brands/or some cells that would be equal in performance etc to the LG HG2?
Also it's been confusing me (with my very limited knowledge with these kind of cells) what the difference in performance would be, between for example a cell that was 3000 mAh 20A and one that was 3000 mAh 10A. Does the higher A mean a longer life before going flat.
Thanks.
LG MJ1, Samsung 25R or Samsung 30Q will work fine. Thanks for watching!
@@CharlesBridgTec Just had a look on a UK shop that sells batteries and all the three you mentioned are available there. I'm just trying to decide between the three on which to purchase, as I am unsure to the battery terms, and wondered if you could enlighten me as to if any of three would have advantages over the others. For example does a higher number mAh mean that it would run longer in the TM 28 before going flat. Or does a higher figure max continuous discharge mean it would last longer before going flat. Sorry for all the questions, but I have limited knowledge as to what these battery terms mean. Appreciate the help.
Samsung 30Q mentions in the specs:
3000 mAh
15A max continuous discharge
Samsung 25R mentions in the specs:
2500 mAh
20A max continuous discharge
LG MJ1 mentions in the specs:
3500 mAh
10A max continuous discharge
Yes, there are advantages for they are OEM cells which are the cheapest for your money. Those I have featured in my videos for they really hold up to the strains of flashlights. Don't go by the pulse ratings on batteries. Good luck!
@@CharlesBridgTec
Samsung 30Q mentions in the specs:

Higher amp will work best for higher output light. Any of the three I mentioned are very good so which ever you can get at the cheapest price will be fine. I listed the LG MJ1 because they have similar values as the original 3100 cells.
What is the tree of life?
LOL... Google it. Thanks for watching!
My tm28 gets pretty hot in few seconds of "turbo" or "strobe".
Is it normal? Thanks.
I'm very happy with this monster.
DAVIDE TREVISANI It on turbo gets hot is very normal! I get about 3 minutes before it cycles dow to high. It will last longer in colder weather... Thanks for watching!
Isn’t there a 4000 lumens before the 6000?
No if you use the regular litium ion cells the turbo will only be 4k lumens. If you use the included IMR
cells or unprotected cells you will will be able to achieve the 6k lumen turbo output. Thanks for watching!
Yeah that’s right I completely forgot about that.
This or The TM39?
Not sure you can get the TM38 anymore. Thanks for watching!
The TM39 is better
@@HectorDarza-qw2hz I have not tested them side by side...
@@CharlesBridgTec that would be a good comparison
I know u like the lg hg2 but I did some deep researching and the Samsung 30q underrated they are better they are 15a but they push out 20a ,the Lg is overrated they said 20a but It drops alot a graft showing the Samsung was higher
Don't read everything you see on the net. Vapers #1 cell is the chocolate. Thanks for watching!
Okay thanks it’s for flashlight
Yeah it's incredible Charles but it's not budget friendly it's $390 on Amazon it's not budget friendly
Quad rays are my all time favorites. Thanks for watching!

What's the brightest torch ever never ever ever in your opinion with your experience? please guide me. I want to pay once for life for flashlight
Hoseyn GH Do you want throw or floody?
👍🏼👍🏼
👍👍
You turn me on the D seeker I have two of them the catapult V6 now that light is a thrower there's no question about it and Loumen top mini pro and the Phoenix TK 16 v2 those are the lights I bought watching your video they were all under $110 and I think they're fantastic 👍👌🖐️
Thanks for watching!
$390 can buy me shoes clothes food for my family that's pretty high dollar flashlight you got to do better or not Charles give us some bunch of friendly flashlight set or good throwers I already bought three of them under$140
Ook for sakes on this can be under $180. Thanks for watching!
Hey Charles,
I'm sorry for disturb you but i have a question
I see your video with the nice "wilderness" place you use for test flashlight because she have a lot combinaison of short and long range and three of life to see beam of light.
And also you speak is easy for french people to understand :D
And my question is
I've purchase TM26GT after compaire this video with recently request night test of TM26GT(Nitecore TM Series Quad Rays are my all time favorite flashlights! (including night shots).
Nitecore send me TM28 ( for same price) with reason no stock of TM26GT so take TM28 she is more powerfull .... for christmas (in Nitecore France shop TM28 only 20 euros more price) (they change with not my accord too ... i've paid TM26GT they ship TM26GT and i receive TM28 with comment on border "change for superior for same price" -_-)
And i choose TM26GT for is 120.000 cd TM28 have 104.000 cd
On the two video i have the impression of TM26GT is more powerfull too long range and TM28 more large beam buy low range.
Saw you have test the two light, what is real difference on this two light to beam at long range
Are you thing i can keep TM28 if they > TM26GT because for the moment ship return and other charge or for me.... Because Nitecore say it's superior light for same price.
I hope you can help me again im my choice for return or not.
Have a good day :)
I would keep it. It has a great combination beam. The TM28 has more lumens but only on turbo, so essentially it is able to run 2300 lumens without step down. The TM26GT is my favorite because it has a tight spill and hot spot, but the range verse light out put is not really needed to justify it. Normally the TM28 is more expensive. You can always get another TM26GT later. Thanks for watching!
:) Thanks for reply :)
Many thanks, i note you suggest to my choice.
I'm negociate to down price for wrong light changed with no information or agree from me.
It's on good way to drop 60 euros of base price for the moment, not bad for a try.
I see TM26GT arround 200$ in us store but in europa is it same price for the two ~340 euros, without cell :D
And it's very hard to import US product in europa and if french customs officer catch your import, ayoye tax.
So with your reply, i think i keep TM28 and try to get import TM26GT later.
Quadray is a quadray and i want mine ! :) she is so beautiful and i'hve one just at my left, so hard :D
I take time of week end for reflexion and do my choice.
Merci encore et bonne continuation :)
Wbich is better tm38 or tm28?
Pit Bull You can't compare them because their beam patterns and uses are totally different. Thanks for watching!
Charles BridgTec my bad i mean which one is the throw beam. Acually is good for long distances but a. Flood one or similar is better for protection cause u see more brighter in closer to u like wide range instead of a thrower.
Pit Bull The TM38 is a monster thrower! The TM28 is a monster super focused beam with a tight spill and hot spot.
Charles BridgTec thank u thay more clearly defined
Charles BridgTec which one u would say better for protectiom tp blind people
Betul terang
Ya kepada salah satu lampu kegemaran masa saya semua! Terima kasih untuk menonton!
Have u heard of acebeam 70? Suppose to be better than this. And i think it made in usa it not chinese. I have p12 and. Monster tiny. 3000 lum but. Acebeam 70 is 12,000 lum. With. 1310 meters throw. That far insane u should checl it out it for 499 usd
Pit Bull Acebeam is made in China. Also the K70 is still in the development stages. Also the sticker price for it to be at may shock you too.
Pit Bull Also the TM38 beats it at over 1400 meters throw dustance.
You're talking about the Acebeam x65. It is a much larger light.
your right he is talking about the acebeam X65
