Hello good day! I want to make 3 contributions. But first, congratulate everyone at Nitecore for the excellence in equipment, they are of the highest quality and very effective for police activity. I am a state military in Brazil and use Nitecore products daily. About the P20i I have 3 points to make: 1) The holster that comes with the flashlight does not have proper fixation, then the flashlight falls and compromises police action, you should include the NTH25 holster with the flashlight. 2) The P20i does not have a place for fixing a sling or loop for the operator to keep it fixed in his hand in case he needs to operate a malfunction in his weapon. 3) The clip-on ring does not have adequate fixation on the body of the flashlight and in a faster or stronger action the flashlight has come loose and gone to the ground. Anyway, these are just contributions that don't take away the quality that the P20i has, but it's something for you guys to think about in terms of improvements to the model. Regarding the functionalities of the secondary switch (the strobe), the ideal would be that it was also configured to activate, instead of the strobe, the light beam of lower power, something much more important and useful in a police intervention that often requires "discipline of lights " and it is not suitable to use strobe beams or flashes or at 1800lm power. Here's the tip. Big hug.
Looks like u have got experience with the lights.please tell me Which one is the best model from your point of view.
@@mahmudsolayman6302 Good morning mate! thank you so much. I am a police officer in Brazil and a shooting instructor for police officers. I currently wear a Nitecore P20i on my belt. The best flashlight will depend on the purpose or job you will be doing it. there are excellent brands and models that meet every operational need. The most important thing is that the flashlight has a simple interface, offers strength, durability and quality. For general police activity, the P20i has proven to be very good. I really like Armytek's dobbermann... For use in rifles with distant targets, prefer LEP flashlights. Strong hug
First time in this channels and really helpful for me to choose the lights. Thanks bro
Received my P20i yesterday from the Nitecore Store. Best tactical light , ever!
You're Review hits all the points, and then some, on this light's features. Very well engineered!
Glad it helped!
How long does it hold 1800 lumens until it drops down? 5 minutes? 30 minutes?
@@w0lfATTACK until it hits 60deg in temperature. Else it will hold the 1800 lumens.
Just got mine...I own over a dozen and this is my favorite.. an absolute must have for LEOs or Security.
I was going to buy the P22R today, after having a discussion with someone from Nitecore and watching this video (after doing some research of course) I've decided to buy this particular light. Thank you so much for producing such a fantastic video with so much useful information. Great information, no fluff or games, and very high production value.
How's it working out?
I got the p22r when it first came out. Before I didn’t know about candela or anything
Very good, informative video, thanks. I follow quite a few flashlight manufacturers and I think Nitecore is probably the most innovative. I bought your beacon product recently which I think is a really good, inventive product.
Thanks for the support!
You make the best reviews on youtube. This is the light I have been waiting for! Thanks!
Shawn Rampton glad it helped!
Well as a The Official Nitecore Channel i sure hope he represents the brand properly
Just ordered.. great vids man
Super thorough review! Excellent!
I love my P22R and MH12 V2. My girl uses my P22R, she loved it as well
Hey Jay you're pretty cool dude thanks for sharing this wonderful tactical light awesome brother is very very durable well made
"Boop, boop, then you get stabbed" I love it! lol
This light is superb! Soon to get one.
I think this is the best flashlight. Power ,throw, battery (cr123 in case you need it), woooow i need one of this!!!!
Ok you've sold me, mine on order.😀
I have been carrying the Klarus XT1C. It is an excellent, compact small EDC light w good controls, but it creates a photonic barrier against road signs outside at night. Also, it has no impact bezel, which the P20i appears to have perfected. Granted P20i is larger, but completely within size/wt for my EDC.
I'm a big fan of Nitecore products but what makes this product different Nitecore P20i. Now i understand what makes this Tactical flashlight so special .I'm buying this tomorrow.
This is my favorite nitrcore edc flashlight
Nice video, thanks
Although I'm not a cop, I do appreciate good hardware. This would compliment my P12gts. 😎
Love the video, this might replace my olight warrior.
I’m looking for some kind of light to carry around for a bit of illumination and if needed self defense at night. What do you think of the olight warrior?
It and the p10i were the ones that made it into the top 3
very informative
Is there something new to replace the TM03? I like the turbo ready mode and the mode memory, for outdoor use I don't want it to turn on on turbo and have to toggle it down like it is on the P series lights.
How does the lanyard attach? With that kind of lanyard there would usually be a small hole near the top of the torch but I am not seeing one.
Could you do a video where you talk little about strobe as a self defense weapon ?
How good is it?
What distances must you be within for it to be effective ?
Is it just as good with a floodlight as a throwerlight ? Wich is best and why?
Is your random strobe function better then the normal strobe function ?
I have seen there are a lot said about this and would be intresting to hear your thoughts.
If you not do video, please feel free to answer my questions here. And also have a look at my other comment here, i asked some there to. thx.
The Nitecore EA45S is by far the best law enforcement flashlight. Unfortunately, it is discontinued but you can still buy it online.
Just got the NCP30 pouch..but dont know how to put it on my MOLLE bag..ANYHELP?
what i would love is a smaller form factor of this one for more edc carry. its nice to have a small edc light that has the tailswitch that is also strobe ready mode switch as well. pretty much a short version of this is perfect.
P10i?
@@kinchang25 p10i doesnt exist
What function the 2 metalic thing at the cap near the button? Thank you
I got mine thrunite tt20 with latest sst70 led 2550 lumen for just $55.. can get two nitecore that still use old sst40.
Does it comes with memory function? (Tactical mode + EDC mode)
Hey, we are looking to stock some of our restaurants with wall mounted (charging) flashlights. What be an idea similar to the R40?
Love the review. Your review is the reason I bought my first nitecore light : ) I check the P20i in person but I found it too big and heavy, would you do a review for P10i light? In my country nitecore told me P10i is too new and no stock yet so I cannot check it in person.
Yes p10i is done! Have a look at the latest video
quick question would this be alright with other 16340 batteries?
Can I use 2150i or 2150Hpi batteries as alternative battery for the P20i?
And I'm sold
What’s the difference between p20 i and p20 v2? Which is the newer one?
so many so confused. Im looking for a thumb sized, any recommendation?
How do you instal the lanyard? thank you!!!
Can I reach 1800 with half press, when I using lower light? Or can I use 1800 power with that "mode" button, when any light on?
can p20i use the tail pressure switch?
i would love to order unfortunately delivery is not available here in UAE, any chance you could help me out. also want to order the MH12 v2.
Why is the battery bundled for p20i not the 5000 mah?
Does it come with deep pocket carry clip?
Congratulations for your channel! Very nice content!
I have a question.
You say the p20i is better than the older p22r because the battery and runtime is better in the p20i.
But in every websites the price of the p22r is higher.
And i don't understand why.
Y hope you can help me to know that and finally i can decide which one i buy.
Thank you very much!
18650 batteries cost more to make now, vs 21700 batteries, that’s why P22R is more expensive.
Hello, I just purchased a P20i and found that the strike bezel is not stainless steel or hardened steel, as a magnet will not stick to it. I picked mine up from the "Nitecore Store" here in the US, based out of Texas. Please explain, as it's definitely not steel of any kind.
Do you have any video on different between P20i and MH12S ? wanted to see the difference, thanks
P20i over a 100 m longer throw but I’d also like to see a side by side beam comparison to see which is the Nitecore tactical champ!
hi wana to ask how to change the buttun.. cnt press
I just seen that the old SRT (SRT7GT) has multiple colored LEDs, that was a really cool feature! Shame nitecore is removing features like this. Still it's a cool light!
Hi MJ, what is the best price now and free gift
p20i or p10i, what do you guys think/prefer?
Torn between this and the 23i
What's the difference between this and the p20 v2
Hey MJ can you please make a video on the NHL10 and is other mesh attachments with hook and loop please
Joshua Tan will do
Nitecore Lights thank you
Does this can run on nl2150 ??
That white cone thing at 0:06 in the intro what is that called and where do i buy it and does it fit on p20ix and p23i?
That’s the NDF32, you just need the 32mm version to fit on both lights.
@@NitecoreSG thank u mate
Is 21700 5000 mah compatible with this p20i?
sc18 is very nice ..
What is your opinion on MH v2 vs P20i for EDC / normal people use? Normally, I will use it when blackout at the factory, park a car in a very secluded area at night, and night walking.
Will the intelligent battery system come in MH series as well?
iRelliKDoG the mh12 v2 sounds great for your use. The HPi batteries are not included as it dosent need such high amphere to run 1200 lumens
@@NitecoreSG Thank yoiu very much for the answer :)
nice review! I have LR12 days ago. Planning to buy a Nitecore flashlight again. Which one would you recommend the MH12S or this P20i? Thanks.
If you don’t need the tactical functions, MH12S. The P20i does not have mode memory
@@NitecoreSG Okay, thanks! I am starting to like Nitecore flashlights. So many choices.
The question now is P20i or P20iX. It would be great to have a comparison video.
That’s next in queue! Watch for it
can i use the NiteCore NL2150R 21700 5000mAh batteries with usb-c- port in this flashlight?
Can’t, this only takes HPi batteries
But what is shipping timeframe from singapore to nj,usa?
Within a week, if it’s in stock
Top usb type C good
Hi,
Is it possible to turn on the flashlight without making a clicking noise?
Because in tactical training this noise can be fatal and deliver the operator's location.
You can half press it for momentary on. That’s silent. If you need complete silence, go for the P18.
@@NitecoreSG Thanks!
Does it have strobe in random patterns? Like the i4000r ? If not, why ?
Does it only have 1 light strength ?
I would like a flashlight with good flood but also good throw. and strobe as above.
Also can you confirm if tm9k has strobe as above or not ? I dont read anything about it on homepage or manual, but saw a review that said it had random strobe...
And when will there be new release of updated versions or replacement flashlights to the i4000r & P22r & tm9k & tm03 & CI7 ? I understand that you usually drop them in november , december or beginning of year right? I dont wanna buy an old light now and then there is a new version in some weeks...
IlIke utube yes it has random strobe like the i4000r. Yes TM9K has the same strobe. P22R has been replaced with this P20i. The other models you mentioned are still relevant
@@NitecoreSG I dont udnerstand why it doesnt say so on the homepage then? Or in the instruction manual? There is no mention that the tm9k had random strobe? Isnt that strange and shouldnt it be on the homepage and in manual? it is in other manuals that has it and in other flashlight on homepage that has it...
I dont wanna buy it and find out it dont have it.
Can I make it stand on its tail by using the holster?
Yes you sure can 😮… i just read your comment while watching the video and messing w my p20i. So i flipped the light upside down in the holster and it tail stands flawlessly when u slide the light up slightly!!! Great observation!!!
I want too much to buy this flash light but i want to combinate it with batteries 5000mh 21700 could you please tell me a battery code that it can be used at 5000mh battery?
NL2150HPi
Where is the headquarters for Nitrcore?
Im about to buy P20i and Ntr10 clip on and F21i charger on line, im from Philippines 🇵🇭 i Wish i had those Pen for free 😍how to get those freebies??
do you send these out for reviewers?
Not at the moment
Hi, why my P20i is not working with NL2150 5000 mAh battery? The original battery that came with P20i is NL2140i.
What is the difference between those 2 types of battery?
"i"battery only
If NL2150i it's can be use.
The batt included is 4000mah or 5000mah?
Skeler Skillet the 4000 is included
Any idea how to attach a lanyard to this flashlight?
Lanyard to pocket clip, pocket clip to flashlight
@@NitecoreSG thanks. do you ship overseas?
@@chuiwyjustin yes, worldwide via DHL
is it water proof?
just bought my p20i, but the entire body is burning hot within min of turning on, its hard to hold for a long time, is it normal?
Burning hot doesn’t sound right, it does get hot when running turbo for over a minute but should not be scaling to touch. It has temperature regulation
@@NitecoreSG Thank you so much for replying. I'm just curious if its just mine malfunction or how good is the temperature regulation is? and yes i need to rephrase it is burning hot to touch just during turbo especially the entire charging area though. other mode below is warm to touch, not hot. Is it consider normal?
I subscribe to your channel 💖👍👍👍👍
Is this waterproof Flashlight?
Can the P20i maintain full 1800 lumens brightness continuously for 2 hours if I use the Nitecore 5000mah battery?
Depends on temperature. If it hit 60deg it will drop down to lower brightness
@@NitecoreSG what are the new runtimes things n turbo, med, and low when using your 5000 mah battery???
Hi, is the battery included in the package?
Yes it is
Greaat, thank you and great review video 👍🏼
Is nitecore a good brand an quality and reliable ? And long lasting
Yes of course
Ordered😁🚑🚒🚨🇸🇬
is it possible to charge a 18650 with the sleeve in this light?
Can’t, only works with 21700 HPi
@@NitecoreSG thank you!
Does this torch have memory mode though??
This model does not. Memory you can look at the MH12S or P20iX
Do you serve international shipping?
Krypton Rakehalu Karnadjaja yes via DHL
Olá, bom dia! Quero fazer 3 contribuições. Mas antes, parabenizar a todos da Nitecore pela excelência nos equipamentos, são de altíssima qualidade e muito eficazes para a atividade policial. Sou militar estadual no Brasil e uso os produtos Nitecore diariamente. Sobre a P20i tenho 3 colocações a fazer: 1) O coldre que acompanha a lanterna não possui fixação adequada, seguidamente a lanterna cai e compromete a ação policial, vocês deveriam incluir o coldre NTH25 com a lanterna. 2) A P20i não possui local para fixação de um fiel ou laço para o operador manter ela fixa a sua mão caso precise operar uma pane em sua arma. 3) O anel clipado não tem fixação adequada no corpo da lanterna e em uma ação mais rápida ou forte a lanterna tem se soltado e ido ao chão. Enfim, são apenas contribuiçoes que não tiram a qualidade que a P20i tem, mas é algo para vocês pensarem em termos de melhorias no modelo. Sobre as funcionalidades do switch secundário (o strobo) o ideal seria que ele fosse também configurado para acionar ao invés do strobo, o feixe de luz de menor potência, algo muito mais importante e útil em uma intervenção policial que seguidamente exige "disciplina de luzes" e não é adequado usar feixes ou flashes de strobo ou na potência de 1800lm. Fica a dica. Grande abraço.

PLEASE TELL PEOPLE WHEN YOU TURN THE LIGHT OFF IN LOW MODE AND YOU TURN IT ON AGAIN IT WILL BE IN TURBO MODE.
JUST LIKE YOU DID IN THE P10i VIDEO.
THANKS
I did mention it in this video.
I watched the p20i video 3 times and I did not here you sat ALWAYS TURBO when you first turn it on. So that's why I bought the p10i
@@joeyphillips2423 I say it clearly at 7:00 how did you miss it 3 times?
Ok let me check
Sorry I didn't catch that.
Huge jump from 350 lumens to 1800 lumens. Needed something in-between.
If that's the case you might want to try the MH12S or MH25S, those have more levels inbetween
@@NitecoreSG thank you, I will take a look.
@@NitecoreSG very impressed with the mh12s until I seen the Max runtime of 45 on turbo. I was looking for something that could replace my olight m2r warrior pro but the battery life seems poor.
I only wish the mh12s also had the tail mode switch.
for police use klarus XT11GT PRO or nitecore P20i?
Of course, P20i

@@jean5590 all the best and stay safe out there!
unfortunately I couldn't see the flashlight details. The only thing you can see is someone holding a flashlight, to make matters worse they want to enhance the scenery, showing all the background. It could have a camera from top to bottom, and keep editing and alternating scenes showing the flashlight in detail.
Can you use the 5000mah battery?
Poy Narvaez yes you can

Tis annoying that the battery is proprietary. Why...?
Other batteries can’t work with signal tailcap accessories like the TSL10i. That’s why it’s proprietary.
Wow is this the night.s core company CZcams ?
크리스 it’s Nitecore Singapore
what dummy glock is that and where do you get it?
c y that’s a blackhawk training glock, you can find it on amazon
What is the best flashlight in 2023 for the police?
www.Nitecorelights.com/p23i is the current king
I see this as downgrade to P series V2 when they remove selectable user mode
I’m spending way too much on flashlights
Its big miss advantage that you cant use normal 21700 batteries, only reason I wont buy this great lamp!
