The fact that the 10k is timed doesn’t really bother me. In the dark I use the 10k to find what it is I am trying to see then it powers down to a comfortable level to look into. This light isn’t for everyone. Especially at the price point. But if you are like me and have numerous ‘throw’ lights it’s great having something like this in the collection to pull out when a dedicated thrower isn’t what you need. Personally I don’t like looking into the hot spot of a thrower at night when looking at something. So I like a very floody light with lots of spill and this little thing definitely meets my needs very well.
Interesting but without a replacement battery for my view is a problem. This little beast would be a great backup or secondary flashlight. I’ve ordered one for my edc bag, a l30 gen2 and the tm10k will make a good pairing
Question, is this basically a 2k light with a 10k burst? Cannot run higher output in between? I also agree with you on the battery but mainly for replacement. Seems that once the battery eventually gives up you would be stuck with a very expensive paper weight. I do like my Nitecore lights and thank you for the great review.
Not really impossible to replace just need a mini spot welder - there’s a few videos on how to DIY those. But with 500 cycles before then I figure the one I’ve bought should do the twenty minutes a day in winter on medium settings for the next twenty years 😀
Nitecore is my top 3 favorite flashlight brands, but this new tiny monster seems to me like nothing more than a prototype. At $300 the 7 second burst is a gimmick to me. I feel the 15-30 second interval would have been perfect. Even my other 3-5k lumen torches aren't in use on turbo any longer than that. I think overall it's an amazing step forward for nitecore in the lumen wars right now, but only just. The double exclamation points are probably the cheesiest part of this light. Also, I wish you opened her up. I'm curious as to whether or not they soldered the battery contacts into the board or if it's just a regular Panasonic or Samsung cell sitting in their.
Its an LG 4880mAh cell that's in it. You can do more than one burst at a time. This is an amazing lights for its size which 7 seconds bursts is more than enough for most applications, I say 10 seconds would have been good but anything else would get too hot trust me. Its a good balance flood light which is so compact too! Nothing at this time can produce 10k lumens of light in its size category or even come close. No gimmicks on this model. Thanks for watching!
nowadays their strategy is like a smartphone marketing..fixed battery..once dead,you buy a new one.led,drivers ,circuit board.its all about time..what do you think?
I have mixed emotions on battery packs but this can be sent to Nitecore for battery replacement under warranty. So time will tell. Thanks for watching!
Wrong to promote a compact 10k lumens flashlight? No one comes close to that output in its size form factor so I disagree with you. Thanks for watching!
I think it has no practicality. they should have used 2 battery cells of 48A and made this turbo mode into 2-3 minutes with cycling after 2 minutes. Make the body 30mm larger.
I'm wondering why the they are making batteries non-removable to me that's a deal-breaker not to buy the product if the battery wears out the flashlight is no good no more
Getting some awesome lights lately Charles, thanks for the great reviews !
I always get great lights! ;-) Thanks for watching!
Charles i first started watching your videos on the astrolux flashlights and haven't looked back. Great videos and reviews. Thank you sir.!
Thanks for watching!
Have you reviewed the emisar D4s yet? I'll have to look and see.
@@Razor6On3 They do not give out samples for review.

@@jeffsmith6760 Yes indeed.
Night into day, love it 👍👏👏💯
Thanks for watching!
Love it nice 👍👍👍

Nice review. Very compact monster. Wish the burst would hold for 15 seconds
Thanks for watching!
Nice vid
Thanks for watching!
Nice 👍🏻
Thanks for watching!
10K is fun to watch but it's very short. 30 seconds will be awesome.
Thanks for watching!

I do like my Nitecore lights and thank you for the great review.
2,000 lumens is the high setting on this light if programed to do so. I have it set to 1300 lumens after playing with it longer. Thanks for watching!

Gd review 👍👍can i ask this compare lumintop fw21 pro, which 1 bos suggest?
Possible. Thanks for watching!
Hope there will be an upgrade model in the future!
Thanks for watching!
I'm Curious To See How The 2000lm Mode Would Work On It.
Works great but less runtime. Thanks for watching!
I'd love a slightly smaller version, but with the same body ratios and with a much lower burst mode maybe 3k lumens.
Thanks for watching!
@@tonysaffries2526 If you say so... Thanks for watching!
👍
👍
I love this form factor, I wish they would make a more budget version with a lower turbo. Maybe even an 18650 version.
Thanks for watching!
It is really Good but too expensive brother 😅 i don't think i would pay more than 150$ to get one 😅 but i loved it 🤗❤
Thanks for watching!
Not really digging the housing style but it’s definitely a bright compact light.
Thanks for watching!

@@CharlesBridgTec thanks for the reply, they made a good choice with LG.
Hello charles, i like to know how is tip2..?
Check out my review of it on my channel. Thanks for watching!
Is there an option of say 5000 lumens?
No. Thanks for watching!
nowadays their strategy is like a smartphone marketing..fixed battery..once dead,you buy a new one.led,drivers ,circuit board.its all about time..what do you think?

Will that display get damaged by the 10k lumens
Not at all. Thanks for watching!
@@CharlesBridgTec thanks for the information
10000 lumens ? grazy bright for mini flashlight
Thanks for watching!
tm28 in a tm15 body and i,ll buy it (even though i own both) . you are trying to improve the wrong things at the moment.
I agree, but they will be bringing a new TM model soon will all new LED but similar body as the TM28, and TM26. Thanks for watching!
Think u'll need a new camera bro...maybe the Sony AX53 ..?check it out..? ;).
Sorry I use a Canon that is barely a year old. Thanks for watching!
7 sec? i'l get it that it's got hot, but advertising 10.000 is just wrong.

It would BURST into flames !
It's a pocket-beast but way too expensive...come on.
Not really expensive for the quality and build of such products made by Nitecore. Thanks for watching!
Very very expensive for plastic or polimers
Can it be used 10000 for long?
7 seconds bursts, about 5 in a short period of time as stated in the video. Thanks for watching!

10,000 lumens, 8s?!?!?!?!
Yep! Sure is, amazing for its size but the 1600 lumens is great on high if you program it so. Thanks for watching!
