@nitecore so far I have 2 lights from you guys, and I have to say I'm extremely impressed! I would not consider myself a light geek or collector per say....I've used brands from Sureview to Pelican to Princeton Tec and Petzl. All great companies with lights for every niche out there, and honestly I'm very impressed thus far with your videos and how detailed they are. That's why I came here today for this video, lol rather than reading the instructions this video answered every question I had about my new light. I'm on the site right now considering getting an edc light or one of the keychain lights. I currently use a pelican light as my EDC, surefire for when I go shooting. I don't discriminate against lights from other companies but rather like to buy from everyone to get a feel as to where each one falls in terms of every day use. I can honestly say this bike light, is my new and will be my only light for riding at night until it stops working or you guys come out with an improved model which, well won't be for awhile =) Looking forward to more products from you and will definitely be a repeat customer.

That's a nice design, the hotspot of tactical lights is a hindrance to visibility. Also that was one of the best presentations of a product I've seen for years, well done MJ.

I JUST picked this light up, haven't used it yet at night riding but just playing around with it and mounting it i am EXTREMELY happy with my purchase!!

01:16 I'm glad your kid was okay at the end of that encounter

You've done it again! So very thoughtful!! I'm very happy I waited on getting the BR35. I'm getting this one instead💖

(Edit: to anyone else wishing Nitecore would update the BR35, check out the Fenix BC30 V2. I ended up going with it. Dual LED, wireless remote, and it runs off replaceable 18650's so you can carry extra. It's pretty much perfect for me.) This seems like a nice light and I love the idea of carrying spare batteries, but I don't want to be stuck with the low beam pattern when I'm in the woods. The BR35 badly needs an update. I would buy the 35 right now, but I'm afraid it will be updated a month after I purchase it.

Shout out to the Nitecore focus groups for thinking of everything! I was specifically looking for a flashlight to be used as a bike light, thinking I’d need a bright tactical style light but they all seemed to spread out the bright beam, which I considered would blind others in opposing traffic. The BR25 has addressed that concern & even more which I haven’t even thought of, like it’s refractive roof design that also illuminates my location as I’m traveling so that others can see exactly where I am & how I’m traveling! Also, it’s mounting bracket allows for multiple mounting options for different scenarios is just another smart addition to the set. I’ve read other comments on how clear your description & opinions are & can honestly agree that they’re actually right. You sir, have sold me on the BR25 & mounting bracket & earned my sub! I look forward to seeing what else Nitecore comes up with.

You are an excellent presenter Andrew. Your videos are always brilliantly done. Oh, and nice light 🙂

Wow, i'm seriously impressed with the thoughts that went into designing this light. Definitely one of the better bike light out there.

Hey brother thank you! City biker here and i honestly never thought about how i may be impairing bystanders and other cyclist with my own bike light. Even if you dont have the money to purchase this exact LED model i was thinking if you have material laying around you could easily DIY a LED hood for your already existing bike lights. It makes a world of difference. Thank you again brother and sending you and your loved ones positive vibes!

My only concern is the mount. It is a bit bulky.

Awesome !! The electric scooter market is blowing up and this seems perfect !! Please do a video showing how your products apply to electric scooters -you’ll be reaching a huge and growing market segment :))

Great video presentation MJ, you convinced me and my cycling friend to try out this cool design of a Bike Light. In fact thanks to this product I've pick up night cycling again and bought my first foldable bicycle.

Perfect vídeo, perfect product, perfect presenter... exactly what I imagined. This video is wonderful.

This will be my 6th ligth from you guys. I use for work and emergency. Now for my bike and will use the same batteries and holster. Love it. Wish you guys had a red rear facing light for a bike.

Amazing light. But if for use with a bike, I think the mount and the flash light itself are bulky. I hope Nitecore comes up with something more compact, with a similar form factor to that or even smaller than that of the BR35.

Excellent review, this is exactly what i have been looking for. Thank you 😀😀😀.

Good to see this. I have been blinded by the usual lights many times whilst out riding + have almost run someone over, as they were turning a toss the road in front of me & I couldn't see theirhand out indicating, let alone anything with in 5 feet either side of them!

I’ve needed a new bike light for a looooong time! Thanks for such a well informed and detailed video! I enjoyed all parts of the video! Now off to buy!!!!

Well presentation. I do jogging and cycling around Marina area and the high beam light from other cyclist is really irritating.

I love Nitecore. I have 2 of the br35's on my Lotus MTB, 4 of them on my fat tire bike, the small keychain flashlight, the Tiny Monster TM-26 and TM-28, several tactical lights, and a light that is worn on the head. I think I will get 2 of these br25 for my other MTB. I love the idea of being able to see below my feet.

Exactly how I pictured the material quality! I havecjust received the product and have not got a chance to test it in action!

Maybe they can make the reflector as an extra attachment for other lights too. It would help a lot

This is very nice. It isn't the most efficient for power consumption but solves more problems than it creates

You’re video helped me decide to buy this light. I am looking forward to getting back on my bike! Not looking forward to the 30F temp that I’ll be riding in…😂😂🤣😃 Thanks again for an awesome video!!! Subbed and notifications are on!

Great upgrade Nitecore, must have for my grandsons bike

MJ, you were spot on about bicycle lights blinding the pedestrians. Sometime ago when I was walking in a dark lane, I saw some bikes shining their the lights blinding me. One bike was using flashing lights which was worse. I really hope bikers will start buy this new torchlight from you. By the way, can I check if this torchlight helps in a dark room full of people like in a cinema? I had bad encounters when an usher point the torchlight to show the way for cinema goers.

❤ it awesome light just got it after your detail video

I wish it looked like a smaller BR35 though, instead of a regular flashlight strapped to a mount.

10:32 I would want to use the MH12-S I already have with a BR25 at the same time. Have the MH12-S Pointed straight ahead and the BR25 pointed down a little. Use the BR25 as a constant on and the MH12-S to see far ahead with momentary-on button presses

I wanted to order it 2 years ago but i quitted commuting on bike because it was uphill when i return home and i was tired anyway. Ive got a better bike from my brother and use it for fun and i used some light from competition ( i own a few Nitecores lights and charger too). To be fair, any decent light, even a thrower at 500 lumens pointed at 2 meters in ftont of the bike its good enough. Now ive got an awesome electtic bike as a gift from my brother, very expansive, and i ordered this one because its a pro bike light. Its perfect in fact for my needs. Its pretty hard to find one now, i ordered from Poland, me living in Romania. I think this one would be a perfect walking light also, better then any i own (and i own many!).

This video or this message needs to be spread far and wide, unlike your headlight. I think people think because the light is small it must not blind people. Great message man. Those super bright lights are great for some trails but even then, a cheaply made bright light can burn so hot in the center that objects close will hurt your eyes or literally burn you or burn itself and your $15 500,000 lumen super extreme epic power blast light will last 3 rides.

Nice video specially the nitecore 👏

What other mounting options are there for such lights, is it possible to use a camera mount?

Do you have any light to recommend for bicycle rear lighting?

I actually bought this acouple weeks ago because of this vid. The choice was br25 vs fenix bc30 v2. Extremely happy with this because of the cut off. I never noticed before but with other bike lights you're basically a flashlight rolling down the street blinding ppl so you have to tilt it super down if you want to be considerate. With this you can see your whole bike riding on the side walk with people walking around they can see your face and you're not annoying the shit out of people and still have your bike blasting 1400 lumens its great. The bad is if you want to mount it top side it does look like shit, but i have mine mounted under the bar. Mounting it like that looks super clean so if you think this looks crappy, then just run it bottom mount it looks great like that.

be interesting to see this compared to lights from other brands with a similar price such as the olight/magicshine rn1500 or even the allty 2000 or the fenix bc30 bc30v2 cateye volt 1700... also coming out with a seemingly perfect front bike light i thjink nitecore need to come out with an high quality rear led bike light

8:06 to 8:22. Does BR35 have this function when wit was released in 2018? Please reply.

How can I mount Nitecore BR25/BR35 on a Vision Metron 5D handlebar. The nitecore mounts only allows standard round handlebars?

@nitecore I love all of Your products Im consider to buy a BR25 but in my opinion two things whould make huge difference. 1. oled display like in tini2 2. possible to disattact reflector roof regards Daniel

Is the flash light compatible with the intelligent 21700 HPi battery, please?

Bro u need to stop 🛑.... I've bought every single light you reviewed so far - evennnn the T4k... You're TOO GOOD! And I have no $$$ left 🤣

While BR25 is good for flood beam, can you recommend which other company edc models with good flood beam? I've noted you made a video on various long throw models but I can't find any on good flood beam. I am currently using TIP SE which has a good flood beam but I'm looking for an edc wider flood beam.

That's why I have like 4 lights on my bike...I have one for flashing then one for super bright light or whatever medium or low.. and two back up lights

How many hours to fully charge the Battery that came with it?

This light performs great. It’s really at its best on turbo, but the battery dies so fast. Also the slide off mount is a nice idea, but it’s very wobbly even while locked in. Not too impressed with the mounting system and battery life.

So you’re saying I shouldn’t mount the TM39 on my bike? 😞

Would love something more commuter-friendly. A front and a rear light both the size of the NU25 or similar.

That's a nice bike light and I would buy one except for those monstrous thumb screw protruding from the top of the light are a deal breaker. It would of been much better to incorporate the mounting bracket into the flash light, like most other bike flash lights do. If it is being sold as a bike light, then make it one. Don't try to turn it into a regular flashlight with that bad mount.

9:30 Don’t look down too long otherwise you’ll......HIT A TREE!!! Lol. J/k. Great light!!!

Sorry.. I back the video up and listened closely..got it. Thanks again

Great informative video thank you. Where is your shop in Singapore? I would like to come by. The one small design change I would like to see on this light is on-board charging, rather than having to remove the battery. They could still achieve a good IP rating I'm sure

what is the run time in 1400 lumen in brinking mode?

i bought the nitecore br35, did i made a mistake?

I just have 1 question. Is it possible, in any way to make it programmable, or it already is? Just asking. Cool flashlight btw...

Please Nitecore, make some Review/First look/Comparison video between the new power banks and energy bricks! NB20000 vs NPB4 vs NPB2 vs NPB 1...

As I had a MH12S, I want Nitecore to sell separately the bike mount and the slip-on reflective roof. Although MH12S doesn’t have flashing mode but will not spend more money to similar torch.

very impressive .. as i was impressed with my HC35 ..

Agree 100%, but some people just don't want to move, my light is a 10$ kind of dim light and is not hitting people in the face

Hello.. I was wondering what the model number is for the belt clip holder?? Can’t seem to find it..

No gopro and/or garmin mount, missing usb port on the light itself... Sad.

MJ, I need a couple accessories I cant find in Australia, you shipping to Aus?

This is pretty cool, hands down the best bicycle light I've seen... The only thing is that mount looks really bulky

It is a good light but should have more blinking option with high and low lumens blinking slow and fast, etc.....

Got sell the mounting coz I got 4 bikes at home...thks!

Btw for some reason this light is discontinued.. there doesn't seem to be a replacement

I'm gonna use the mount for my EA45S

Why is br25 discontinued?

is there any other product with the same feature but brighter or higher lumen?

Do you know how long the blinking mode will last with the 21700 battery?

Can you swap out the BR35 and the BR25 using the same mount?

Nice light but I would like to charge it also by USB during the use by my e-bike battery.

I just picked it up. I haven't use it yet

Please make the front light case more aero, atm that design catches more air.

Can the front reflector be removed? Thank you

This will also stop blow back. blow Back is when you are searching around reflective surfaces and your own beam reflects back into your eyes blinding you. If you keep the fistula at a lower level then this won't happen.

which is better between br25 and br35? for biking

i need a good bike light. that’s a nice bike!

I'd take my acebeam k65gt with me and shine that at the biker, 6000lm, they would realise the problem then, lol. That is a great light BTW. Love the roof idea

any rear powerful strobe light for daylight intro ?

Yes! I totally agree with you on those selfish bikers having their bike head light shining at people's face instead of on the ground. The is especially at night in the darkness of park connect path. Hope the SG LTA set regulations on all bikes and PMD on the headlight standards... to buy this light. 😁

I like that

As a driver of a vehicle I've had to turn on my bar light because a bicyclist was strobing me and I almost got into a wreck because of it

and bikers should be careful and see when they are going

I'm going to try this on my electric skateboard

Alternative to this flashlight is the LR12

Only issue with this light I have noticed is it ramps down very quick on the full power mode (1400 lumens). Which is kind of pointless stating those kind of lumens if the light can’t sustain them. Disappointed in that as I reckon your left with 600 lumens in the end 😟

Do u have GoPro mount?

Unfortunately it doesn’t have an actual cut off beam pattern, this works but isn’t the best design as it doesn’t optimize proper light distribution

sadly, this bikelight is so expensive here in our country..

👏🏽

Well shit, gonna have to replace my cygo metro.

I presently use a P30i nitecore and another brand 1800 watt twin led for riding home at night on bush bike tracks..both lights on!..(we have wild buffaloes),I have amazing visibility...especially as a long light...no blindspots!..this light is no doubt smart and lets face it..this guy could sell ice to the eskimos !..The review did not give a good look on distance when mounted on the bike on a black night! the emphasise being more on the hooded function(which is smart)...not having to turn lighting down to off when meeting walkers is a good option since I would tend to run light in full boost mode...mmmm one is tempted!..I did note that it does not have a breath function which I use for general daylight riding?..strobe is out there a bit for this function!..to buy or not to buy? Is there a need here or a want!....

I'm a rider myself..we as riders need to exercise cautions when riding on pavement, we are in control, no excuse and don't ever expect a child to respond in time and to give ways to us. If u ever hit my child... i will make sure your bike will wrap around you.

Why don't more bike companies do lights like this.

What I'm most annoyed by are the ebike peoples straight forward facing lights which are often blinding as fuck.. Unfortunately they are screwed on the frame respectively need some tools to adjust the beam downwards.. I'm cycling all day with my enduro mtb trough the city and my frontlight is LedLenser's small keylight and everytime i put it on the Handlebar i'm adjusting so that its pointing downwards so light cone is about 50m in front of me, when im driving outside the city at the countryside, especially on offside mainroads on gravel roads I'm adjusting the cone to about 100m in front... Unfortunately often the 0815 commuting cyclists dont care about that they're blinding others...

The Nitecore has this rediculous proprietary USB C battery with a charging port - yup... you need to remove the battery to charge it. WTF. The 1400lm mode is a gimmick. Realistically, you'll be using the 430lm mode. I wonder why the battery life is so short though (

Urgh I just got the BR35

Still will prefer an exterior USB-C charging port with a rubber cap rather than taking out the battery

When someone selling a product exaggerates how bad the other products are, I dont believe them when they tell my how great their product is.
