I do like the extra clip-position available on the P10ix. But for anyone who has ever carried a light in a holster, on the belt; being able to push forward to bring the light into play is *incredibly* more convenient than bending your elbow at an extreme and awkward angle to pull the light out. Same when you re-holster the light. Then again, if your light snags on something while getting up from a seated position, it's not going to fall out and go tumbling to the concrete floor if the only way to draw the light is up from the top.
I saw another reviewer mention that the P20ix holster made for a problematic issue where the light can fall out and possibly be lost…. Just thought I’d mention it to you….
for me p20ix ….i have been carrying it for 2 yrs it very resilience , been drop on a 4th floor bldg still doing good plus it a real car window breaker proven & tested
For the same 4000 lumens, the P10iX has half the candela of the P20iX, meaning the 10 has a much wider angle of illumination, meaning you can stun a wide area of assailants unlike the 20.
I think the P10ix is a much better EDC light, smaller, yet plenty bright enough to blind a human attacker or ward off a dog attack. The extra throw on the P20 doesn’t seem that big of a difference to warrant carrying a bigger light around all the time. If I want a thrower I’ll buy a dedicated light for that. The P10 will be more than enough to handle the job with plenty of high output to blind attackers, with lots of runtime on the lower outputs…. Either way you can’t go wrong, but I personally like the smaller light which does pretty much all the same things as the brighter one.
I have the 10 for everyday, not tactical use. What I like about the 10 is illuminating a wider area closer in, vs. a greater distance. The area you were testing in doesn’t show how much better the 10 illuminates the periphery closer in.
Difficult decision, leaving the price difference aside. I want to replace a Nitecore P12 which I recently broke after about 10y of hard use, it was my favorite go-to light, 25mm slim body, very similar dimensions to the P10IX. I have a new big thrower for long range work, I can make my neighbors 300m away feel like the Aliens are coming for him if I want to.. so I'm attracted by the floody IX series. I guess the smart decision would be to go for the slimmer light as its far more likely I'll have it with me when I really need it. I'm not a cop and don't fancy walking around with a duty belt style holster, practical as these modern holsters might be. Any comments?
👍Great comparison and review. Nice tactical lights, just not a fan of lights with the rubber covered usb ports. I've had issues with broken and lost covers in the Bush in the past.
Same here, i just hate the cover for the port, it will loosen up overtime for sure. But I still got the p20ix for the 4000 lumens and the flood beam so.
Excelente descripción de funcionamiento de ambas Linternas!!!... Excepciona!!... Muchas gracias, me has ayudado a comprender (entre otras cosas) porque la P20iX no me daba los 4000 lumenes en modo diario!!.. Muchas Gracias y Felicitaciones!!!👃👌
These lights are great until you drop them one time. Trust me. Spend your money on either Cloud Defensive or Modlite. Pricey but you get what you pay for. Buy once, cry once.
I’m 57 and I have never dropped a flashlight. I’m not going to blow 250 bucks on a cloud defensive when I can get a P10ix for 99.00. Its a risk I’m willing to take. Even if I were to drop the Nightcore and had to replace it, I would still be $50 ahead. 😂
Ok, I work for europol in Greece,regarding the comments below, on the 10ix having a narrower beam and able to stun "multiple" attackers better than the 20ix. Look the strobe, yes it is effective, yes it will stun 1 or 2 drunk or trouble makers, but if you really expect this to stop multiple attackers, God help you! It wont do shit against organized hoodlums, hooligans, and rioters out to destroy a city, coming at you with 2x4s, crowbars and throwing molotov coctails at you. Maybe they are good for concerts, a night watchman, or a security guard at some building. Btw I got the p20ix, and a p23 for throw more as tools to see, rather than defense or offensive weapons. Why did I choose these? TacticooL!!! Compared to the others, they look the part, and they do their job!
@flashlightcrazy I don't buy from Grey market either. Nitecore listed the p10ix for 99$ and p20ix for 120$ on their website. Whoever your authorize retailer is got you good 😅 just looking out is all. No Hate here. Love your reviews. 👍
By advocating for authorised dealers? I don't think so mate. Support local business instead of giant companies like amazon. They are the ones who rip people off.

Nice job as always 👍 that step down comes around fast! The $100 difference seems unwarranted for the small benefit.
Only a 20$ usd difference, not 100
@@kealme3553 yeah id go with the p20ix. spend the extra money and get better performance. the extra girth isnt a big deal. i pocket the p23i for work

The P10iX has a narrower central circle, and it won't be able to blind multiple attackers!

Correct, when facing multiple attackers or much closer, the 10 is far more effective in blinding.
Love to see the P20ix VS i4000R
I returned the 10ix, it dropped from turbo, bypassed high and went to medium. it was unusable for me.

Thanks for the comment mate. Awesome perspective. I agree, I don't like to use holsters.
I wish I had seen this video earlier but then again I already have my light for about a year
What you got mate?
👍Great comparison and review. Nice tactical lights, just not a fan of lights with the rubber covered usb ports. I've had issues with broken and lost covers in the Bush in the past.
Ahhh thanks for giving your experience, Graham!

This is where the i4000R comes out on top for charging port

Both of those flashlights like really similar to each other! But they look really nice mate which one do you recommend if you had to choose one???
Got p10x p20x im using for work and i will go evry time with p10x.
I got me the p20ix. I just like the flood beam as I can see everything at a glance. That's it, just for the beam. Cheers
@@mikeoporto6365 p10ix has much wider beam and in defence it can stun people on the side without having to turn the light at them.
@@mikeoporto6365 nope is has twice the candela than p10ix for the same 4000 lumens. So p20ix has a narrower (still floody) beam than the p10ix.
Does anybody know if I can use the p23i on this p20ix holster? Thanks
Any chance you'll be reviewing the Nitecore SRT7i ?
If I can get my hands on one I will mate
Neither, I would pick the p23i or SRT7i

Thanks for the comment! Love the engagement and perspective
You stun your attacker with the strobe and then counterattack while he's distracted. You don't strobe someone and hope they run away 😂
I'd take the p20ix.
i thought the price difference is like 20$ bro... did you get scam??
No but i bought from an authorised retailer. I dont buy grey markets

Thanks brother. I really appreciate the comment and the suggestions and you looking out. Legend@@apexriders_
Please try to review the SRT7i if you get ahold of one. Looks like it would blind a bitch.
Hahaha I will try to get one
P20ix
The best is the srt7i. You should already know.
