Nitecore P30i 2000 Lumen Flashlight

The P30i is impressive, with the power that goes with the reach of the search light, is incredibly useful. Used it at the outdoor camping and in the dark, was extremely good as it will not illuminate everything but where it is pointed at. The built of the gear is very impressive with the composite material, the rubber covering to the on/off knob is located very conveniently with good design as well. I have used the light for one night and the battery did not die on me. Overall, the quality of the performance and built makes P30i one of the best investment for my outdoor adventures. Highly recommended.

Bought this flashlight as a kit. The main flashlight is perfect. Long bright range. The keychain mini light is very bright! Accidently temporarily blinded some coworkers. The binoculars are very lightweight and clear. All and all I'm very pleased with my purchase.

Not just a light.The P30i Torch is much more than a. Powerful light. In New Zealand in our bush areas while hunting deer it is very easy to get lost. The Ranges are steep and heavily treed. This torch is the best way to signal a helicopter search and rescue team. It is also a powerful gift for night hunting with its amazing centred light and range.

P30i compared to New P30Did some comparison between the P30i and New P30 after receiving.The P30i head is really huge with its reflector and heat sink, but when comparing P30i at up to 1000lumen with New P30 gave the exact same result. I had expected that with a larger deeper reflector it would concentrate the beam more making the beam profile smaller.So after my small test , my conclusion for the P30i difference with New P30 is that it’s only brighter because of higher lumen with exact beam profile as New P30, considerably larger in size and needing extra accessory/attachment in order to activate strobe mode.I’m still pretty satisfied with the P30i but it’s slightly below my expectations.For ppl who have the New P30, unless you are in specialise industry that ... MoreP30i compared to New P30Did some comparison between the P30i and New P30 after receiving.The P30i head is really huge with its reflector and heat sink, but when comparing P30i at up to 1000lumen with New P30 gave the exact same result.

P30i first hand experiencebought the bundle pack and tq again for the free giftthe lumen output and battery life is awesome. it does get warm pretty fast with the 2k lumen output. The sturdy built seems good and the small size betrays the massive output of this torch.my few small minor peeves would be1. no strobe function without the remote attachment2. a wrist strap attachment would make handling feel more secure3. charging port rubber seems easily detached upon handlingbut of course these are small issues that pale in comparison when you have a 2k lumen sabre beam that reaches the moon

A FANTASTIC flashlight for nighttime boating

This flashlight is an excellent piece of gear for those of us who fish into the night and need a powerful beam to light up the harbor marker buoys. Because of its incredible throw and substantial spill, old timers like me can easily locate the harbor entrance buoys from well out in the lake and can keep them (and moored boats) in view as we enter the harbor and make our way to the dock. Once at the dock, the ability to shift to a less intense mode makes this flashlight an excellent all 'round tool. It's compact size makes it easy to handle, especially by comparison to larger heavier lights like the Pelican 8060 I previously used.

Great for morse coding with God

Its bright. Its the best flashlight I own. I have lights ranging from 1000-4400lumens from nitecore and others.Its better than most 12v car spotlights.Mounted on a weapon? Ridiculous.You won’t regret buying it. I regret not getting the hunting kit tbh.I

Had the potential to be great but it’s not

So I have several previous versions of the P30 - the 18650 and 21700 versionsIt took me a little bit of time to order one of the P30i’s- big selling point is the integrated charging circuit, a big plus but not enough to make this a great light.Pros:Integrated charging circuitBright as the sunCame with a momentary switchCons:Requires use of proprietary NL2150HPI 21700’sNo lanyard holeNo strobeHad this light come with some of the normal stuff I have come to expect from Nitecore I would have given it 5 stars.Biggest downside is that I had invested in a ton of 21700 batteries and now had to buy a few more of a specific type of battery.

Very bright and focused

It's a little early to be sure, since I have not taken this out in the field yet. But, initial testing shows it to be a very bright and well focused beam. Changing brightness levels is easy and intuitive with the side button. It is very light and compact for the level of brightness.
