Always love seeing your reviews on lights. Another great video sir. Thank you!

@TallysVids Год назад

I think the main reason that Nitecore include a Daily Mode on their tactical lights is because they know that not everyone who buys one, will use it in tactical applications. A lot of people (me included) buy tactical lights for their compact size, amazing amount of output and performance for such a compact size and also because people like/prefer the power button on the tail cap and typically tactical lights have them on here. Personally, I think it is a good idea on Nitecore's part to include both modes as it keeps everyone happy. If you buy the light purely for tactical applications, you can set it on tactical mode when you first receive it and then just forget about it.

I really like this light too. I've recently got this light. I looked a LOT at the competition. Each light has its trade offs and each user has their specific wants. For an EDC light that covers the range in variable brightness levels and cover distance ranges with a high candela, not to mention a reasonable price for the light and quality you're getting, this light is tough to beat. It has a daily use mode and a tactical mode. I find the tactical mode is great for my daily use too. You always have the turbo strobe available but in tactical mode, the main button is ready to go with turbo. With the mode button right under it, and knowing what lumen power I want, it's SO quick to adjust just the lumens I want. Yes, it's important to me that the light works as a defensive tool for first, upsetting the vision of an attacker(s) and second, to use as a striking tool. I love how it has the breaking glass metal points on the bezel to break glass if needed. Having to personally need and use a glass breaker to save someone in their car before, I don't take that tool for granted. Just saying, that the P23i has exceeded my expectations. I like so many brands but I'm developing a 'bias' for Nitecore.

@todds2254 Год назад

Have you looked at the Acebeam P17?

@2fast2block Год назад

@@todds2254 yeah, it's a great light. The lumen modes are so right-on. Maybe someday I'll get just to get it. I understand lumens is one thing and candela is another, but I've become somewhat of a candela freak. Just last night I got a lux meter so I could put in the formula to get candela of a few lights I have. The P23i was about the 55,000 candela rating, My new Weltool T8 Plus was just below its listed Full Power of 94,000 cd and was more like 93,000 but the High mode was 45,000 instead of the listed 44,000. The P17 just doesn't reach the candela I want yet I understand it puts out more light for a great overall view. Right now I'm looking at the Weltool M8 Zoomable light. There lights are such quality. They don't have all the things that other lights offer, but what they do offer is awesome.

@TallysVids Год назад

Excellent video. I got this light last week and have used it a few times since then. Absolutely blown away with its performance and output. Its the perfect "fits in my trouser pocket" light for when I don't want to or need to take my Nitecore TM28. Most of my use comes from using it as a light I use for nature spotting, down my local river, countryside, and with its excellent range, and candela, and focused beam, makes it perfect for my uses. Obviously if I want the max reach, and extra brightness, then the TM28 gives me that. I didn't get this torch for its tactical applications, but more for a "fits in my trouser pocket" size of torch and obviously for its performance and light output and reach and its candela output. I really like the two modes. I find that I often switch between them either during my nature walks (for example if I am using turbo mode quite a bit, and don't want to physically keep the mode button pressed in to give me turbo access). Or if I am not using turbo mode, for example when going to and from the river area, and want the memory mode feature as I do need to switch the light off and then back on at certain points, and I then do not want the P23i to come back on, on 3000 lumens, but instead want it to remember the light level I had on before switching it off. And also to have access to the 1500 lumens option (which is not available in tactical mode). I find the P23i still gives me more than adequate flood width to light the full width of the path I am on, but still manages this and gives an excellent long reach to. I could not be happier with the P23i.

@markpettie681 Год назад

Another excellent review my friend!! Absolutely love the SFT70! Nitecore should have put a moon/firefly mode in this torch!!

Overall nice review & good beam shots. Probably best tactical EDC light 2023. Ordered mine, be here in a few days😊

@MrExcane Год назад

Can we take a second and appreciate the Iron Maiden shirt? Awesome review as always. Having two modes like this is EXACTLY what Fenix needs to do on their “tactical” lights. Starting in high/turbo is a must for tac use. The rotary tailcap like on the PD36 TAC is fine, but their dual button lights need a true tactical setting.

@BradleyFrank-hu3xu Год назад

No, don't drop the duel user mode Nitecore. Also, the way to switch between them is easy.

@Viosified 11 месяцев назад

Great review of the P23i! I think the two modes make this flashlight more versatile. I use the daily mode for simple tasks around the house which require varying intensity of brightness, and then switch to the tactical mode when going out for walks at night. The instant burst of turbo helps fend off agressive stray dogs.

@AlrekArinbjorn Год назад

The P23i has a tactical mode where it always starts at turbo. Like the P20iX does. You corrected yourself, good

@ChrispyThings Год назад

There’s a lot to go over with lights with dual modes. So when recording I have to go over them one by one but eventually I’ll get to it. Lol

@skmfkr2 6 месяцев назад

completely agree with your final thoughts. idk why they didnt drop the 50 lumen instead of high. i use mine at work and mostly just use the 250 lumens in daily mode.

@aquasound-escapes898 Год назад

It did go HIin tactical mode… after it stepped down from turbo after 30seconds lol. It’s a 1,500 lumen light and it does well at it from what it looks like 👍🏼 I’m not not fond of the UI tho and thx for pointing that out. It does have very good spill/ throw though and fenix could learn from that. I like my fenix pd35 v.3 though. Very small form factor and long battery life with 3,500mah battery

@hugomiguel8647 Год назад

You can by the P23i tail cap in separate and put it in P20x :). They sell it in separate

@MrBlessed70 Год назад

Great light and love The Klarus style UI mode switch.I would have LOVED and extra 150 meters of throw on Turbo(to around 650-700 meters like Cyanski K3 version 2.0) with a longer runtime on Turbo before dropping down.

@aquasound-escapes898 Год назад

You’ll have to sacrifice the bezel size of the light being bigger in order to have that. Otherwise nitecore a mark was to keep the overall light subcompact and small for pocket carry. For this reason I LOVE my fenix pd35 v.3. Different lights different strokes lol

@omegarad123 7 месяцев назад

470 meters is pretty long throw..in truth throwers that can hit 300-350 meters would be plenty for anyone that actually use them daily ..I would say most people in general only use flashlights up to 50-100 meters..other than that people are just using flashlights for shock and awe with their friends.

@LV-42617 5 месяцев назад

I have a Nitecore MH12 SE and the newer MH12 Pro which I use both for tactical and non-tactical. They are smaller, have less weight and similar throwing distances (405/505 meters). The P23i is certainly nice but for me there is no need to buy it and even if I did not own the two MH-12's yet, I probably would still buy the MH12 SE which I prefer slightly over the MH12 Pro.

@georgedavall9449 Год назад

CHRISPY You Sum Gum!!!! Nice review as usual, but really, @ 02:36?? I sent my P23i back, due to the reflector looking warped, and it had a warped shape to the spill. This light got so much right, but the one I bought, seemed ‘rushed to market?’ I may have just the one lemon that comes along every now and then? Yes, that vinyl holster was a turn off to me as well. I actually like some vinyl holsters ( I’m thinking Olight Warrior 3s !) But not this one. 👍👍👍✌🔦

See I don’t mind the missing moonlight on tac lights. On my EDC lights I want 1 lumen moonlight.

@Studat Год назад

@@ChrispyThings What about law enforcement? 50 lumens blows out up close paperwork for example. Saying that I still ordered one, lol.

@aussie8114 Год назад

Brightness is not linear so 3,000 won’t be twice as bright as 1,500. I think that’s right. In tactical mode you sort of do have high because turbo would probably drop to high after about 30 seconds.

@omegarad123 7 месяцев назад

Good call lol

@LV-42617 5 месяцев назад

Agreed, 3000 to 1500 is an increase of about 25%

@todds2254 Год назад

Have you tried the Acebeam P17? I'm trying to decide between the two. They use different emitters but I don't know what the real world difference is.

@ChrispyThings Год назад

No not yet

@sciencestuff699 Год назад

Perception of brightness is non-linear, it takes 4 times the actual lumen output to be double as bright for our eyes, so 1500 to 3000 lumens doesn't look double the brightness, but may very well be.

@AGC828 Год назад

A light that that doesn't know if it wants to be an EDC light or a thrower. :) I'd say it's an expensive EDC light that "does a little throwing"...55k candela...not that much these days...dedicated thowers like the Thrunite Cagtapult V6 are more capable and 1/3 less money..... Nitecore--well made lights but just a tad on the pricey side...in the same group as a Fenix and Olights. I'd rather get an olight Jasvalot Mini for less money....if THROW-ability was the goal... I have a 2014 Nitecore P19 EDC/"tactical oriented light...lots of lumens power on each mode but setp like a "tactical light" in that you need to click the tail switch to turn it on and off but to change lumen modes you use the side switch...not practical. I didn't kow better then picking ...heh...If you're getting an EDC light then ALL functios should be controlled by the side switch...."tactical"? then ALL functions controlled via the tail switch ONE-handed...and be a thrower...IMHO..

@ChrispyThings Год назад

@georgedavall9449 Год назад

I’m with you Andersen C! I SO WANTED to LUV this light, but I ended up sending it back. Now I may have just got a ‘Friday’ light, (if there is such a thing in Jina?). My little MH12SE almost keeps up with it, so I think the 3000 Lumens rating is a little optimistic? But the kicker was the funky beam spill. It was kind of a lopsided ‘Cloverleaf,’ like the old 4 emitter NiteCores. I’m thinking the TM16GT, which I own and love. I was told by NiteCore Store, and Charles BridgTec it was normal and due to the strike bezel? I don't know, but I sent it back. Just FYI for y’all out there! Peace

@twrcrew8852 Год назад

as an owner of all P series in the current spectrum, I will say that claiming this light "can tail stand" should be taken VERY lightly. Because the compressed hoops at the bottom are slightly curved and VERY thin, completely compromising their sturdiness if the surface is not perfectly flat and vibration free. bump the table once or slightly blow/ graze the light and it's toppling over guaranteed. I would NOT trust this tail cap design for tail standing at all for this reason. Consider it a revision that nitecore made in order to give you a place to - finally - install the included lanyard which you couldn't for the prior 3 generations of P series lights (even though they *always* came in the package with one, hilariously enough), and secondly it aids in accidental button presses when holstered or bumped. ironically making it slightly more difficult to use in the optional NTH32 hard shell holster that comes with a hardened surround for the tail cap to eliminate accidental activation (which the P23i tail hoops graze on when holstering the light. It was designed around the P20 and P20iX. but still DOES work with p23i if you don't mind carving a mild groove in the holster where it hits over time)

Why drop the Daily mode? You can set it for tactical and you're done. Some of us will keep in Daily so we're not blinded when we turn it on in the middle of the night. We can set it to tactical if we feel the need. No loss to anyone, unless they take it away ...
