Nitecore New P30 Throw Flashlight

I love nitecore and probably will continue to buy their products. They come in handy at work and spotting right before the deer season kicks in. However, I guess over the years it’s gone down some 😣. I dealt with a representative Estella. Nitecores only weakness IF it is one really, it’s batteries. So I explain my story and what happened to this representative. After about 14 threads nothing was done still. Then I was bland I’m sorry I take that back that’s not the right way to say it. It was insinuated that I was the one who wrote bad battery and who sent me another bad battery that looks exactly like the previous battery was a light leaks through doesn’t last etc. then it was insinuated yeah I was lying after I had asked them repeatedly to send me a ... MoreI love nitecore and probably will continue to buy their products.

As if it could not have been more perfect timing the battery in my P 12 GT1 decided to take a dump.

I purchased this several months ago and have been super impressed. I use it for a few minutes every night when going from my shop back to my house after dark. I find myself toggling between the power modes, usually looking for a LOWER setting-- this light is BRIGHT! I honestly can't say how long it takes to recharge because after several months of usage, albeit for only a few minutes a day, I have NOT HAD TO RECHARGE IT!. I especially like the fact that the battery contains the charging port, so there is no little rubber flap on the light to potentially fail/become lost. This makes the light more water resistant, IMHO. I WILL be a repeat customer!

Well it's called a long throw flashlight for a reason. I have only been able to test it at a distance of about 400 yards but it had no problem lighting up a good size area at that distance. It looks like a searchlight when you aim it up at the sky! It's plenty bright enough also. Even though it's designed as a thrower it works just as well around the yard and inside the house with it's lower power settings. Quality is excellent especially when you consider the low price. I have several Streamlight and Surefire flashlight's that I paid quite a bit more $ for that aren't any better than the P 30. If there's one downside (which I knew before buying) is that the head is a little large to throw in your pocket to use as an EDC. But it does come with it's own holster.
