Hello - The TM20K's that have been shipped out from the factory have a supplementary lock function with an extra step - here is the video to the updated lock function. TM20K Lock Function Update th-cam.com/video/932vD9rH-NY/w-d-xo.html
Instead of explaining the features of the product, almost the entire video is a meaningless stand-up comedy imitation. The product was not shot in a real outdoor environment, pitch dark or in forested areas, and no real distance test was done. The videos were shot in the city, in places where there is already a certain amount of lighting, and estimated distances were given. For example, when a light beam is moved around in a place that already has lighting, a distance is written on the screen. Where was this distance measured? From the closest point the light beam touched or the farthest point? Also, I don't have any information on this subject, but I think the distances are not real. I would also like to add that (you may not have understood the importance of this issue) in many parts of the world, people also consider environmental sensitivity in their habits such as production, purchasing and consumption.
Pretty sweet light and great setup with features and buttons. I would totally get this but non-removable battery makes it a hard pass!!! I do not know why they would do this other than they want to make it like an iPhone disposable, you do know lithium ion batteries will only last about 3 years, 5 at the most if you leave it half charged most the time! So basically once the battery goes bad, it's a very expensive paperweight!
Thanks for the video. I just bought one, and your video is a lot easier to figure out the settings than the instructions included with the light. And you’re funny too! Great video!
I wanted one until I found out the turbo only lasts 7 seconds. That's just long enough to see a small parking lot is safe and empty, but not long enough to figure out what's going on if people are there. It shouldn't switch down until it gets hot to the touch. Conduct the heat away from the electronics better Nitecore.
Having owned/owning many Nitecore torches i can confirm that the non-removability of the Battery on my TM10K was a concern for sure, i almost didn't get it but I just wanted it sooooo bad haha, but having owned my TM10K for almost 2yrs now my only gripe is the hidious "10,000 Lumens!!!" On the side, errrk! Who is this meant to impress? But The built in non removable battery is perfectly fine, in some ways better than a replaceable battery, eg it's properly mounted and basically welded into place ensuring there's never a worry of a poor connection or a crappy cell, but if you're really keen you can still pull it apart and replace it yourself, I've done it, I've found them all to be over spec anyway, I've owned the TM10K for a while and it's never failed nor is there any noticeable drop in battery life or performance, I've just ordered a TM20K and will update this as soon as applicable
Hard to justify $300.00 for a flashlight, even a very good flashlight at 10% off, but then consider it's not just a nearly 1 pound flashlight, it transforms effortlessly into a $300.00 bulky paperweight since batteries are not user replaceable. Wait, that's not a feature, it's a design flaw. From another review I found the 20K turbo mode lasts a maximum of 7-10 seconds before ramping down. Not gonna search very long in turbo mode. Yeah, I think I'll pass. Great presentation, though!
I like the lamp very much. The big point of criticism is the retaining clip. As with the TM10K, the attachment is poor. The small screws are too weak. After just 10 fastenings to the pants, the retaining clip slides to the left and right. It doesn't matter how tight you tighten the screws. The retaining clip should be in a recess in the upper area so that it does not loosen to the left and right. Nitecore definitely needs to revise this in the future!
i always order the TM series since the tm15 cant wait to get mine i pre order it from the nitecore store. i called for small questions and the guy in custumer service sounded like he didnt wanna help me with my questions very bad experience. am going back to another flashlight website that has a BBB+ custumer friendly service.
Fortunately Nitecore uses high quality Li-ion batteries from reputable manufacturers, you can refer to our "What's inside Nitecore batteries" for more information! These are the same ones that are being used in Tesla cars! It would be silly to think those would only last 2 to 3 years.
Irreplaceable battery means it has a rechargeable battery to be correct. Your comment is just an assumption. Good luck with your assumptions see how far it gets you in life. Lol man people like you are so annoying.
@@zstang01 Aww, honey, don't be such a crabbypants. Stop and think about the stuff you yourself are the most knowledgeable about. Immersed in stuff in which you're well-versed, I bet you function really well. You probably also make assumptions. Another word for assumptions is conclusions--which you arrive at safely because of your experience. Amirite or what?
UPDATE: I am theguywithone finally. It’s bright, really really really really bright! I don’t have a purse though and have no intention of acquiring such an accessory. A+ Well done Nitecore!!
The best product review you have ever seen and he doesn’t even mention how many hours or minutes the battery lasts in each mode which is VITAL info for many people.... dear Lord.
@@billnott5811 I never said this was the best product review I've ever seen, just the writing of the dialogue. 9600mAh of power will last you all day; Charge it when you get home. You don't need the exact minutes when you have this much power..... dear Allah.
Geez, you're messed Up, like really lost? Only has 19 LEDS when it's named a TM20K? Sheez, grow up!! Oh, oops I'm exactly the same.. why not make it an even 20 leds? I'm with you, sheez!! Just 1 more led to balance it, I guess we'll never be happy haha :) I love your reviews and user friendly voice, roll up roll up we have a winner! Subbed :)
Love your flashlights love your videos. But I have to tell you, that is not a symbol of a purse. That is a symbol of a padlock. That's why it's called locked.
Cool flashlights but it's starting to remind me of the megapixel wars from cameras. Pointless to have huge output when they cannot cope with heat. For anyone looking for a powerful flashlight the most important aspect imo is for how long a flashlight can hold their highest brightness mode (none turbo) and at what level of lumens.I think the sweet spot of holding high mode is around 3K-4K lumens for the longest period of time. Doesn't really matter if a flashlight can go >10K lumens if it can't hold it for more then 10sec.. And the internal battery? Are they trying to adopt Apple marketing? Sorry but no matter how amazing a flashlight can be I REFUSE to buy it without replaceable batteries.
$500 in australia! . Im guessing these guys have not seen the competition. You can buy a acebeam x50 for less than $500 in australia and this thing gets dam hot after a very short amount of time and only has a turbo mode that lasts 7 seconds like cmon surely they could of done a better job on this light. i like Nightcore but im disappointed with this light.
I have one that cost like £30 and honestly it's as good as these Nightcores in your video (which cost a hell of a lot more) I heard people say Nightcore Torches can cover 7 football fields and are super amazing but based on what I've seen here, they're no better than my cheap torch!

The purse 👜 to put it in your 👜. 😂 To think I always thought it was a lock 🔒.

So TRUE.... so not worth buying
Funny with a straight face. Deadpan - love it!

7 seconds, that's pathetic. That means they only included it for marketing.

Update please
Fantastic presentation of what is normally a boring item, where can these be purchased from in the UK ?

Made me laugh and love it!!!! Keep it up. Btw you voice. Love it! on a possible boooooring product review on flashlight! Thank you!
Short and to the point 👍

How long does tm20k's battery life cycle last?
Not one mention of how many hours or minutes the battery lasts in each mode ? Weak
This looks like a awesome light
I'm from California and I approve his comments on our removal
(I was just joking~😲)
Not even a week and the flashlight won’t unlock. I’m following the instructions to the letter. Is there a hard reset or reset feature? Please help!
Good Lord that's a lot of light from a little package great job guys as always
You’re so absurd! These vids are great!
Love your reviews brother!!
This must be the light Blade used to fry Vampires
The Blade movies were so good...I am going to go watch Blade tonight.
Irreplaceable battery means light is a deadweight/paperweight when battery declines in health in 2 to 3 years! Good luck with a $350 paperweight

Ha, love the dunk on California even while I live in it.
Great video! I’m subscribed 👍

So Long Can 20,000 Lumens Stay On For?
WHERE CAN I BUY THIS? I'M HERE IN THE PHILLIPINES.
That locking symbol is a PADLOCK
not a purse or a bag.
Yes ?
I suppose it is in the eye of the beholder. I also think it looks like a birds eye view of a soccer penalty box.
I'm going to order simply because you called yourself a big dumb fart 😂, well, that and it's 20k w/ 19 LEDs which will make my ocd friends twitch
Love the videos. Awesome jokes... I mean sales pitches
Where is it made?
This is the best written product review I've ever seen. That Dad's LazyBoy line is an insta classic. You are the J. Peterman of Flashlight reviews.

I like this... Fenix LR35R 😁
I have tried both and the TM20K is definitely beefier. The LR35R is actually deceptively compact. But I prefer the flood on the TM20K.
How long can it run in turbo?
"Removing California from the Union".....I'd be down with that!
turbo doesn't last long at all, a few seconds and have poor throw. huge nitecore fan but this one is a miss.
LOL awesome video im sold!
The "purse" is really a padlock in locked position.
Isn't that a scream?! Hilarious.
I feel ya brother ✌🏽️
super cool video!

A purse? Uhm...it also looks strangely similar to a padlock? Which could mean Lock mode? 🔐
The tail button switch has an LED in the middle of it. There’s your 20th LED.
Genius😶

Snakes on a plane Flashlight 🤣
Nobody that's were your wrong its great for search and rescue teams or coast guard
😂 liking the vibe 👍
"all those 2's and they made it 19 LED" 😂😂
I did not think about this, I will send it over to the manufacturer, hopefully they make the screens a bit tougher.

Doubt yours have a true 20k candela rating not for $30 that’s impossible. You need good batteries which can be $50 alone.

Hilarious! Great review. Lol
I don't like this one. I would much rather have the UI of the TM9k
Oh, brother…if the Brits had those in 1940 they would have downed many more Heinkels!
Garbage turbo for 7 seconds, Fenix and Olight are better for price range
Then you can have 30 seconds of turbo~~~~😂
@@NitecoreStore better than 7!! >>>> 🤣😎
Bought it for snakes on a plane
That's a lock not a purse...
No voltage display? Booooo!
yall sure this isnt april fools
Coin purse
