I have owned the slim line for about 7 years. I was a plumber. This is such a great light for a plumber, well the last version because it had a hanging hook also. It throws a very wide beam, perfect for basements, crawl spaces, and under vanity sinks. Id suggest it to any plumber or electrician, the last version. I dont own this one yet, and may just stick with the older 700 lumen version for the hanging clip. You can clip it rite to your shirt collar or shirt pocket for hands free. I also use mine at the boat ramp. I put the magnetic base on my bow stop and have it point to my trailers rollers while loadong the boat at night. My first 2 lasted about 3 years each and only failed due to the battery failing slowly till they wouldnt take a charge. And the older version is half the price. I couldnt see the 1200 lumens difference in this video at all. And the red light and strobe are just more buttons to click. Highly recomend old version Nebo Slim
I agree with you I like the 700 Lumala much better I have both you and the keychain one is excellent. B For your money value and functionality the 700 Nebo is the best.
I wish the battery was replaceable, but I think I still want to get it for work. BTW, if you're still using a standard USB A to lightning for your iPhone, I highly recommend buying USB C to Lightning cables and buying 20 watt C wall adapters. You'll charge faster. Eventually iPhone will join the iPad Air and Mac Pro on having a USB C port and we'll have standard C to C cables for everything, but until then we just have to keep putting up with the dumb Lightning port.
This light is…. Different. Im debating on getting one and using it on a chest rig for night time running, I appreciate all the work you put in the video brother.
I have the nebo slim 700 lumen Great torch if you want hands free , clips onto shirt , one of the best torches i have had . Once you have a clip on torch , you won't go back .
I have the earlier model. It has two ports USB on top for charging cell phone which works. Side port (micro USB B)is for charging the flashlight itself, also works. It charges fast. The clip is plastic, is removable (twist lock), and has an additional hook that can be opened to hang the light. Magnets are on the bottom and on the clip itself. Laser pointer. Light intensity adjusts by pressing and holding and it will cycle from bright to dim and dim to bright. It will stay in the intensity setting you selected. It is a great light, costing around $25 back in 2019/2020. II recommend this light. (HL21A) Only negative point... I cant seem to figure out how to disassemble it. the two bottom screws appear to just hold on the plastic cover around the magnet, and the little plug for the side charging port came out. I wouldnt trust immersing it in water, Its definitely not water proof. Top plug is still in, so rain resistance still is okay.
I have the old Slim and the Slim+: old Slim is still going, Slim+ failed after hanging around not doing much. Nice to see the USB-C allows them to merge the 2 USB ports, shame about the compatibility/production problem for powerbank mode, but I have the other huge floodlight for that; the Interstate flashlight (5000 mAh, 37Wh).
Actually if you double click after you turn it on you will get flash then you double click and it will turn off, you don't need to go through all the lighting options.
So I have the Original Slim 500lm. The simplicity of the UI is great. I can set it to turbo and it will remember to go right back to turbo if I constantly use it during my shift. The clip fits perfectly into the the Molle webbing of my vest. Why I want to replace/upgrade is because it will not function in temps below 0 degrees. It will just keep shutting off. Have you by chance tested it in cold temps?
I haven’t yet. I want a fan of this light so I basically just put it away. I can try and treat it but it’s about 30 degree, not sure if I can test at 0
The original Nebo slim + 700 is one of the best flashlights you can ever buy! This new model I will not be purchasing for several reasons. 1. C to C doesn't work for charging. 2. It's considerably bigger then the Slim 700. 3. The new clip isn't better. as the old clip was perfect. 4. You don't need 1200 lumen, trust me the 700 lumen freaks people out and is plenty.

Glad I saw this video. The part about turning it off would drive me crazy with the cycling. I was in the fence as I have a bunch of flashlights I don't particularly need so I was looking for a reason to hold out.
The part about turning it off was mostly misinformation. One button press turns it off, unless it was turned on or had it's mode changed in the last 10 seconds.
Have you tried charging anything other than iPhones? Some devices have all sorts of protections from third party charges. (Obviously if it can't charge your phone it's useless, but it would be interesting to see where the problem really is)
many dedicated powerbanks cant charge devices like (some) bluetooth headphones. i would not ask much from a flashlight. may i suggest a solution to charge your phone? buy a cheap and elestic silicon case and glue it on a thin wireless powerbank. i did that with a 20euros Romoss Freemos5 to charge my former phone, Samsung S9.
Gentlemen I got the Slim 1200 its an awesome work light. I used it while working in FL during the hurricane IAN aftermath, inside dark areas that had NO electricity at all. In regards to charging iPhones, it doesn’t work, neither for the IPad, but it works on my DJI drone devices and also on my Apple Beats earbuds charge case. So it definitely works on other devices.
My buddy just gave me his but the red ring around the light won’t shut off at all. Has anyone else had this problem? I’m sure it’s gonna drain the battery faster
I got a nebo tino, 15€ magnet could be better.Clip is perfect just missing a magnet. 300. Lumens 135.meters main torch, plus 250 lumens work light. 3xAAA batteries 🔋 104 grams main torch shows to 120.m in dark with ease… 7.points out of 10
This light is great I love it and it can take a biting it had fall from my hands many times and I just get lil scratches and I used it to charge my phone sometimes
@@ChrispyThings true! but i remember a hardware problem, a huge one: it takes longer 18650 to work. 65mm long will not work, only 68 and longer. the original is 70mm long! so imagine you are a regular guy, not a collector with several 18650 and buy this flashlight. you might buy a wrong reserve for it.
@@ChrispyThings Do any of these three have a replaceable rechargeable battery? Is there a flashlight on the market that does? I've seen tactical flashlights that use the 18650 but they really aren't comparable to this utility light.
@@ChrispyThings I looked around, and the Olight Baton 3. Fenix LD30. And Four Sevens Preon P1 MKIII each cost about double what the NEBO Slim+ 700 is running, and it seems like the Slim+ 700 has all the same features as the NEBO Slim+ 1200. Thanks for your comprehensive review--very informative.
I cant get my turbo to work if I press and hold the button while the light is on it seems to kick on then it powers the light off immediately and the power indicator light flashes red several times then returns to green, does it do this if it doesn't have enough power? I've charged it over 2 hours now
No this power bank never worked for me. But I did just receive the Fenix E-CP. I plan on reviewing really soon. 1600 lm light with a power bank. More for a backpack rather than a pocket carry though

Nice flashlight, like the type C charging port...the ability to charge other devices...but I prefer my Fenix WT20R.
Thanks for sharing!
I wish I could get my power bank to work to actually charge my devices
Yea the Fenix is a deal … $80 for a 400 lumen 😂

It’s $75 now so they must be selling fast for price hike !
I like the design a lot better than the Olight Swivel, but wow that UI is awful!
You know what? I sort of like it better than the Swivel too. Now if they make the Swivel actually swivel, then I’ll have to rethink that

30 seconds, not minutes
Thank you for teaching me the difference between seconds and minutes.
I had no idea what the difference was until your thoughtful comment. Thank you!
@@ChrispyThings no problems, bro. always glad to help. Now lets find that missing child
If and when the battery dies, it just becomes a corded light,….
For some. For others, it just becomes part of a landfill.
good ideas but half-baked in their execution. this is a beta product.
For real. Right now it only works as a headlight, a rear light, and a cat toy. Add a propane grill or I'm out.
1200 mAh??? jesus thats pathetic. a single 18650 can be up to 3500. you can easily fit 2 of those in that housing. I hope this thing is cheap...
50 bucks.
You can't fit one 18650.... It would be much thicker.
I got headlamp nebo clips on my hat
