Like the design, like the features, price isn’t bad. Almost jumped on it a couple times. But I just can’t for a flashlight with a non replaceable battery. Once that battery goes bad, you’ve got a 90 dollar paper weight. Unless I guess it’s covered under warranty.
Yeah, I actually spoke to Nitecore about the battery. They claim that the soldered batteries are more reliable than the removable ones. I can kind of see how that would be, but at the same time I'm no expert on that topic.
@@FittoSurvive the lockout , and just using the light in general. I wanted to like it and may give it another chance but the Arkfeld is such a good light.
@@FittoSurvive I did talk to customer service and they said it was one full push then one push and hold to unlock, not a half push then a push and hold. Seems to work. Their own directions say short push then push and hold to unlock. Mistake on their part. It’s full push then full push and hold. That works
Interesting, I’m about to buy this light because of the completely opposite reason and that the Arkfeld is too complicated. I like having simple cycles through modes instead of having to deal with double clicks, long holds, etc.
Hmmm... I did a quick search on Amazon, any Petzel I saw over 1,000 lumens was $80 to $300... The $30 petzels I found had only 350 lumens. I understand that a $90 flashlight could be considered luxury but in today's market, I wouldn't consider it overpriced. Oddly, the Nitecore EDC33 is cheaper than the EDC27. Either way, thanks for sharing your thoughts about the flashlight! 👍🏻
This is basically a really long version of the Tini 2 keychain light by nitecore. The screens and menu is identical
That is a good comparison. 😅👍🏻
I love my TINI2 and just ordered this

I like the design. I would like to get my hands on one, too. 😂
I really like the design too.
Sweet flashlight, great form factor, Nightcore make some great stuff
Form factor! That's the word I was looking for while reviewing it. 🤣👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Please, Do you have a link to that pouch?

I have this light, love the way it looks but it is too complicated compared to the Arkfeld. I end up with the Arkfeld in my pocket everyday
Do you find the lock out method too complicated? That was the one thing that (even as seen in the video) was a bit of a pain to deactivate.

Good flashlight
Thanks.
Does this light have good throw?
Mine says lvl 1 when i charge it. How many lvl's are there?
The level that it shows is the previous brightness setting you had it on. Should be 4 levels of brightness.
good info
Glad it was helpful!
I got one
Absolutely pain to turn off and on.
$ 90+ for something a $ 20 Petzl can do.
Too complicated, no chance to replace mono-cells.
Failure!
