Nitecore T4K (4,000 lumens) vs TUP (1,000 lumens)! 

Anyone who buys either of these trying to MAIN their 1k-4k output is a clown. The niche is that it's a USEFUL 200lm EDC belt-mounted light that can be used as a headlamp when clipped to a hat and CAN hit a brief party lumen setting if the moment calls for it.. but NOT to be bought as a light that rests on 1k+. In fact, not even tactical full size lights (like the p20i/x or p23i etc) are meant to be used like that either. The only light you're looking at to rest on 1000-4000 luments as the main running mode are very FAT flood/spot lights with over 8 LEDs. usually in the 300-500 dollar range and they are unwieldly and gross in day to day life. Those will usually burst 9000-20,000 luments. but rest on the lower thousands of lumens. So there's some perspective for ya.

I personally have the Tini 2 , its bright enough to get things done when you need it and its smaller so its easily portable which is why it stays on me with my keys

@@geo9994 I bought a tini 2 for my girlfriend. The problem with Tini and Tiki is that they are just keychains. only if you like a landyard flopping around your neck as a bundle of keys and flashlight hits you in the chest as you walk and run. I always used to hold my keys to prevent it. But the Tip SE, TUP and T4K are much better due to the clip. they can be worn like a holster, close and tight to the body rather than hung and swung.

@@geo9994 I will defend the Tiki though because it is neat. especially when it can glow blue or green as you wear it around for fun. If the Tini 2 had a tiny clip, it could be strapped to a belt loop and be amazing. currently, you could still clip the D ring of the keychain onto it as well but, it is not quick draw.

Personally, my favorite one is Tip2

Hope you get yours soon. I see a lot of posts in their group on delivery updates :-)

Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback.

I love the OLED displays on some of Nitecore's flashlights. I'm eyeing the TINI 2 :D

Thank you and you're welcome!

nobody can expect to have a 4k lumen pocket rocket goofy. it's a feature, not a mode. you want a 4k lumen RUNNING light, you're looking at a 300-500 dollar FAT light that mains 4000, and has a max of over 20,000 typically.

Slightly yellowish green in the outer ring of the hotspot and white inside. Less noticeable on turbo. Only noticeable when you shine it at a white wall. Should not be noticeable outdoors.

@@LumenMaxEDC Yes, the T4K is very bright. Its beam covered my neighbor’s car headlight even if his car is on high beam lol.

Good question. Yes, you have to press and hold to use turbo. Safety feature. Gets hot ;-)

TUP since it has a larger battery, but TUP is missing the 1-lumen mode and the 4000-lumen mode.

@@LumenMaxEDC в туп есть режим 1 люмен.
