Which has a better beam? Nitecore P23i (3000 lumens) vs P20iX (4000 lumens) 

If you told me 15 years ago that I’d be addicted to flashlights when I’m 31 I wouldn’t have believed you.

Your videos have been very helpful in selecting the Nitecore lights for my needs. My needs are closer in. The flood beam works best for me.

As a Correctional Officer, the P20ix works well, considering your in close quarters 95% of your shift.. Really helpful searching common areas and cells..

I would say the P20ix would be more useful in a search and rescue op scenario, with the flood light covering a larger area as you sweep an open area in the wilderness

Ok I'm carrying two lights at work now. They each serve practical purposes for law enforcement application, & small enough not to dominate the real estate on my duty belt. I'm sold on both!

P20ix is one of my favs. Has decent throw and amazing flood. Great for walking in the forest. P23i is a little to focused for my needs and I will stick the mh25s for throw.

That’s exactly why I needed both. One for Flood style with more lumen throw & the other one for a spot light more candela throw. Also the ultra low on the 20ix is useful being only 2 lumens vs the 50 lumen ultra low on the 23i.

MJ, I really think you should also do a P20i vs P23i comparison. You have covered the flood vs.mix beam duty case before so to be fair, those who bought the P20i might be wondering if they really want to upgrade to the P23i.

Can you do a comparison between p23i and p20i Uv?

I haven't been into flashlights for over 12 years. Never picked out that as the hobby that I do like knives or every day. Carry items Search as high powered air rifles firearms And I go through Different items a different times never had to get into flashlight because my first one was a night core that I bought about 12 years ago. It has seen Helen back. And I don't know what happened. But recently it's just stopped working and I've never had any need to replace it. I don't know what model it was. It was a 1000 lm and it was ridiculous even 12 years ago. IPad multiple people, including police officers. Ask me what type of light it was. I wish I could figure out how to fix it. I don't even know if you can buy that Exact one anymore and I love that 1. It was about 70 bucks. And definitely a powerhouse. I've purchased a couple lights here and there. But none of them can come close to the power that little guy packed. I don't know about all these other companies. But I know that my nightcore and the people talk a lot of trash How about those or that company a lot in forums I go with what I know and I know nightcore for me is well beyond military grade and got my money out of it 80 times over. I would love to find a Night car rifle light if they make them or a tactical light like I had with a rifle rail Mount

Now that's how a flashlight review is done !

3:44 they should use these flashlights in horror movies lmao

The comparison should actually be between p20i and p23i. Not the p20ix because it kinda is the wide-beam version of the p20i.

Where there is a P23i there should be a P23iX, P13i, and a P13iX coming.

Brilliant video, super helpful. I was wondering what the difference between these two flashlights would be as on paper, it would seem the P20iX would reach further with its higher lumens output, but your video has helped me to decide which of the two would be better for my use cases (which for me is a longer beam range and after watching this video, it looks like the P23i would give me this). Thanks again.

I Carry P20ix for tactical carry and MH40s in the car, for throw.

P23i or MH25 PRO ?

For me, personally throw/spot is practically more useful for most of the task. SFT series is never let you down 👍

How would MH25s and P23i fare in terms of throw? A comparison video please? 😁

I would like to see a the mh12se vs the p23i. Both are about $100 and over a 400 meter throw.

I ordered both!

Would love to see a comparison between the MH25S and the P23i

I just got my P23i and... unfortunately I have to say I'm disappointed. My previous Nitecore light is awesome, but this P23i has a dark spot in the middle of the throw... clearly visible if you shine it on a wall for example. @Nitecore Lights does your P23i show this too? Like if you shine it on any wall a couple meters away, do you see a darker area in the center of the spot, or did I get a somewhat-defective light? All other lights I own have a clear hotspot without any artifacts...

What have tighter beam? The p10i or p23i?

I was wondering if nitecore has a tactical light that doesn't have the memory function, or an option to turn off the memory function. So meaning when you turn it off after using mid brightness, turning back on will bring it back to the lowest setting. Because I work mainly at night, so I hate when I accidentally on my light on the highest brightness and I'll lose my night vision.

Which one is better for self defense? In terms of blinding people.

As always, great review. I went with the 23i and have no regrets. Love that light.

I'm not sure but P23i's clover-shaped beam irks me a little bit, why didn't nitecore make it as uniform beam like the P20iX? 😅

Which is good for law enforcement?

P20iX Great light but the way the lanyard attaches really sucks

Hard to pick but I guess I will take P23i.

Hi! Bought a nitecore ec4s a few years ago and it has served me well. Got to appreciate it after a typhoon when powerlines and trees fell. Thinking of adding another one, either p20ix or p23i. Should i go with another flood (p20ix) or do you suggest that i go with the thrower now (p23i)?

Fuckk, I can't really decide which one i like the most

Could you do a comparison between the P23i and the MH12SE next?

Hello from Slovenia. I like your videos and i just ordered BR35 bike light and NB20000. Thanks to you and your beautyfull videos! I am obsesd with LED lights and i love HQ things! Best regards !

Hot spot in the middle for my 23i why is this?

Which flashlight is better Nitecore p23IX or fenix pd36r PRO....Which have better performance and top?

which light is good to see aircraft vertical stabiliser and also when doing close up inspections? i thinking of the TM9K

i wanted to order it in the U.A.E but for deliver it is not showing so how can i order the 23i bundle

Please make a video for nitecore fls360

Could you help me which light to buy? Whic of these lights is stronger? NITECORE P23i 3000 NITECORE 4400lm E4K NiteCore 1800lmP20i NiteCore P22R+NL1835HP NiteCore 4000lm P20ix

how log can the P23i in turbo Mode? 60 sec??

HI..i want to ask which one of these two (p 23i or p20i ) it s better ????

Hey, What you suggest as the best RED light headlamp?

Whyy do they make the ultra low on the p23i 50 freking lumen!! Its too much for an ultra low. It gives me a lot of peace of mind in those lights whixh have a 1~5 lumen UL knowing that I have a week worth of illumination

Does the p23i have a donut hole beam?

personally, I still prefer mixed beam.

Almost need both for different uses.

Hello, I got the P20iX, but I'd like to get another one for throw. Would you recommend the P23i or the MH12SE as a complement for the P20iX?

Why don't you reply on my comment?

Bro! Which nitecore is similar to the cr6? Been looking can't seem to find anything close to it. I loved the red beam that I had but sadly lost. It's sad that they discontinued a lot of the lights😞

How can I buy your products in India. Do you ship to india? Or do u have any resellers in india.

it would be nice if p23i vs p10i

Exactly what I needed to know! 😊

Seeing that a P23i has been released, am I wrong to assume that the P23iX in also in the works?? I feel that the iX series flood lights would suit my needs much better, so I'm leaning towards the P20iX, but if we're on the brink of a P23iX release, I'll much rather wait to see and compare it to the other models.

Sir I have problem with my 3mos old tm20k...its not charging properly. After charging its only takes 1min of light then shutdown again.can you help me please

I m a pilot looking for a new torchlight,still undecided which one would be better during aircraft walk-around.. 23i? For more focus?

Are you going to review EDC 27 soon ?

Search and rescue use spot beam . police raid use flood light.

Hi, which of the two models do you recommend for security in the premises?

👍👍👍👍👍

Please drop an EDC27 video!

As a person that wears glasses I much prefer the P20IX.
