Same. As I have a TS10, Mini Pineapple Max, Manker E03, and LT GT3 Mini right beside me and just order the P23i tonight.

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

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

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.

I have p20ix too and also LR70 I’m considering to get one of p23i/mh25pro/srt7i Can’t really deiceied from three of them😂

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.

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!

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 !

Now that's how a flashlight review is done !

Exactly what I needed to know! 😊

I ordered both!

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

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.

@NitecoreSG

Жыл бұрын

If you already have the p20i, I wouldn’t upgrade UNLESS you want the more useful inbetween lumen levels at 850 lumens. The p20i has too much of a jump from 1800 to 250 lumens. The 3000 turbo gets hot quickly, nothing that the original 1800 can’t handle

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

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

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)?

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

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? 😅

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

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.

@twrcrew8852

Жыл бұрын

these are tactical lights. and they have tactical and daily mode. It works in the opposite way you describe. Tactical mode has no memory and turning it off and on will always go straight into the highest (turbo) setting. this is actual "tactical" for law enforcement and military. What you want can still be had in daily mode, where it remembers the lowest setting each and every time you turn it on and off. holding down mode button will shoot to turbo mode on a momentary switch. so technically you can get what you desire simply leaving it on daily (memory) mode set to one of the low settings. and only hitting the turbo button when you want a high power beam instead of cycling through the permanent modes.

Does the p23i have a donut hole beam?

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.

Unlikely, the next jump in lumens will put it in the same range as the TM9K tac (9000 lumens) Won’t make sense product lineup wise. Unless they push it to a 5000 or 6000 lumen for minimal gains but way too much heat generated.

@@NitecoreSG I wouldn't say controls are similar, in fact I'd argue the difference of having a rear + side switch vs two rear switches would be one of the biggest differences. Personally having two rear switches for one-handed operation and the 3000 vs 1800 lumens are why I'm getting myself a P23i today. :) But I also have a question, at similar lumen output the MH12SE has a higher brightness candela rating/throw distance, even tho it has a smaller head/reflector, how is that possible? :D I know it has a different LED, but still... more throw with a smaller reflector? :) Of course the P23i makes up for it with it's overall higher light output, reaching higher candela/throw with its 3000 lumens compared to the MH12SE at 1800 lumens.

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

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...

Its not a flaw. Every flashlight designed for throwing has a donut shaped beam caused by the smooth reflector. If you need a beam without this shadow spot, use orange peel reflector flashlights, but they will throw less.

According to specifications it has the same candela/throw distance rating (slightly higher actually)... Also what about the Nitecore MH12SE, I know it has a different, smaller LED with less lumens, but it's even "throwier" than the P23i/TK20RV2, but doesn't have any dark spot or artifacts whatsoever, it actually has the "cleanest" hotspot out of the three lights, even tho it has the tightest hotspot with a noticeably higher throw distance at similar lumen output...

Жыл бұрын

@@SträvanEfterSanningen I simply returned it because the dark spot in the middle is so noticeable and annoying in my opinion, disappointed me. Support said the dark spot in the middle is normal because of the used LED... well I got a Fenix TK20R V2.0 instead, it uses the same LED but doesn't have this dark spot. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Btw I also didn't like how the parts where the glass breakers rest in blend into the lightbeam, you can see they're lit up like a Christmas tree because they block a bit of the light at the edge, instead of a uniform round beam you have three indentations... so yeah, personally I didn't like the P23i at all. The MH12SE on the other hand is a great little light if you don't need the dual rear switches for instant strobe. Very throwy for its compact size, good beam with no artifacts, nice light color. I would definitely recommend the MH12SE if you don't need dual rear switches/instant access to strobe (it can memorize strobe tho, and can be programmed to always come on at max brightness like the P23i). Also works with regular batteries (1 × 21700 or 1 × 18650 or 2 × CR123 or 2 × RCR123, comes with a 5000mAh 21700 battery) compared to the P23i which works _only_ with the proprietary 21700i batteries from Nightcore.

@NitecoreSG

Both are great for law enforcement! The main difference between the 2 would be the throw distance, the P23i having a more spotty beam with further throw distance. The P20iX works as a really great flood beam light thanks to it's 4 LED output.

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

Almost need both for different uses.

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

personally, I still prefer mixed beam.

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

P20iX Great light but the way the lanyard attaches really sucks

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
