"What do you recommend?" 006 - May 2020
This week I cover questions on what's the best light for travel & self-defense, and some of the common mistakes people make when buying one.
Do you have more questions? Just comment below: “I work in ‘blank’ and I need a light for ‘blank’. What do you recommend?”
If your question gets picked and answered in a video, I’ll send you a free Nitecore TUBE 2.0 (55 lumens) worth $19, free 👍
Ask away and I’ll be happy to help you get equipped.

great vid. for 2x AA torch, what other options should I look at?

@Brian-qs3nm 3 жыл бұрын

I have both the MH12S and the P20 I. The MH12S is great for EDC. While the P20 I is perfect to have close to hand in my vehicle.

I love streamlight but I own two nitecore tini2 lights. They are extremely thoughtful products. As far as I know streamlight doesn't make a AA light which is this logical and for self defense.

@@NitecoreSG honestly no...I scour KZfaq frequently for the newer lineup of nitecore products. Your platform and reviews are extremely beneficial for me because you discuss the lights in the context of real tactical applications/real users. Very good info. I haven’t pulled the trigger yet but I believe I will get the p22r. It looks like it is the most high performance tactical light in the new lineup, but still retains a small enough profile to be useful for daily operation. Thanks for what you do!

@@NitecoreSG In regards to a self defense scenario, does the p20ix have a sufficient hotspot for disrupting someone's vision at close range? Will it make someone close their eyes and throw up their hands to cover their face?

@NitecoreSG 2 жыл бұрын

@@reggieb24 in my experience, if they are aggressive they won’t cover their eyes but charge forward blindly. So if you flash someone, be ready to move out of the way / reposition / runaway

@@NitecoreSG thanks for your reply! Would one of the flashlights that you recommended in this video be a better option for blinding someone at close range? Better than the p20ix? I do security work where sometimes I alone have to handle groups of guys who try surround me, I'm looking for a good flashlight to disrupt vision at close range. I already ordered the p20ix but then I saw this video afterwards.

As long as it could used the widely-available AA's and has dual-spring configuration, count me in. Hard strikes could sometimes damaging the internal circuit board. I'm looking into MT2A for my new EDC.

Yes can't go wrong with the MT2A. If it does get damaged it doesn't break the bank when it needs replacement.

P23i for sure. Smaller diameter is faster and more maneuverable.

For the MT2A which uses two AA batteries, will the performance be affected if I use normal disposal batteries (eg. Energizer, Eveready etc) as compared to rechargeable batteries. Will rechargeable battery have better light output, shine distance and so forth

@NitecoreSG 3 жыл бұрын

No difference, only thing affected is runtime.

Hi, I work for a delivery shop, but now in winter it’s to fast dark to see the numbers on the houses, what light do you recommend for use in the car, when I stop to see the number on the house, what flashlight you recommend? I have already a p20ix but the flood is to much so it’s blind me when I’m in the car because it light the whole car on max power. I thinking of a LEP flashlight, great throw and almost non flood so I can use it from inside the car. Do Nitecore have also LEP flashlight’s? Or a good LED flashlight with minimum flood but great throw (400 meters or more). The p30i is to big to take it in and out the car with the delivery stuff, the p20ix is a good size to carry on the belt when I’m driving. Regreds. The P20ix is great for dark streets, see everything before it’s on top of me 😜

@NitecoreSG 2 жыл бұрын

Hey I’d go with the Mh25GT or Mh25S, those 2 sound like a perfect fit to what you’re trying to do. A good inbetween. LEP none yet.

01:30 you must be really tiny compared to me, because I have a fenix LD20 and LD22 (the light that the one you're holding was based on) and it doesn't stick out of my hand quite that far. I'm 6 foot 5 (1.9558 meters) tall and my hands can completely cover most of the lights you show off.

When my batteries get low my MT2A automatically switches to strobe. It will stay like this till I put new batteries in it. The instructions don't mention anything about this. Is that a built in feature or is my light defective?

@NitecoreSG 3 жыл бұрын

It shouldn’t go to strobe unless the bezel is loosened. Sounds like defect

Mate..... Well I have two of them because well TL;Dr the first one I had lost it inside my house couldn't find it bought another. Thing was I want to know if the ones I have are well authentic or not. Because the one I lost was off from eBay and the second was Amazon. The Amazon one says it was shipped and sold by nitecore and the eBay one I really don't remember who sold it but I wanted to know if there is anything unique markings to tell if it's authentic.

@NitecoreSG 11 ай бұрын

There should be a serial number on the head part of your light. If there is you can check with any local distributor to see if it’s an authentic set
