Nitecore P20iX Flashlight Kit Review!

- Here is the all new/brand new Nitecore P20iX flashlight kit. This is sporting four Cree XP-L2 V6 LED's for an amazing flood beam performance. Easy UI. Nice spacing of light level outputs. This puts out 4000 lumens on turbo thanks to Nitecore exclusive "dual fuel" 21700 cell technology. This puts out a very wide flood beam but it throws a little as well. This uses the USB Type C charging system. This is great for tactical or EDC applications. Runtimes on turbo are very good. I am impressed with this light just as much as the Nitecore i4000R. ABS holster is easy to take light in and out quickly, and is rugged as well. See link below plus you can use my special discount code as well:

Thanks for watching, Take care!
Thank you very much Charles for another super amazing review once again. I just purchased the flashlight through your online store and am very excited for delivery day!
Cheers :)
Thanks for watching!
Got one on the way. Good job as always on the video!
Thanks for watching!
Great review. Most informative. Must get one!
Thanks for watching!
I ordered this last night! I also ordered the P30i. Can't wait until Wednesday!
Thanks for watching!
you will love the p30i.
@@Studat I'm looking forward to trying it. I was going to get a big and super powerful thrower but after more thought and research I settled on the P30i. I don't own a dedicated thrower yet and haven't even seen one in person.
Very very good light !
Good job Sir Charles
Thanks for watching!
very nice light.great video always.
Thanks for watching!
Like you channel and routine in the field. Excellent, Thank you
YW! Thanks for watching!
Great review! Seems like they made the NTH25 holster based on your suggestions. It has a swivel function and a locking mechanism for the light as well.
Thanks for watching!
Honor to be first comment. More than probable best torch I've seen for size. Love 21700 and C, assets! Wow, tremendous torch and review CB!!!
Thanks for watching!
i just got this light yesterday. i am very impressed with it. i can't decide which is my favorite feature lol. i love the fact that has a removable battery, i love the performance. overall a great light. not a fan of the holster though. great review, by the way.
Glad you like it. Thanks for watching!
I got my Nitecore MH20gt as my EDC light. Nitecore got the top notch quality on their light compare to others. By the way nice review.
Thanks for watching!
Nice flood output but my preference is the MH25S @1800lumens. Great presentation! 👍🏾
Thanks for watching!
very nice, nitecore is best brand in the world
Thanks for watching!
This is my kind of flashlight, nice floody beam. I have the Imalent MS06 (an amazing flashligh) but it would be nice to have this as well as the smaller format is better for some situations
Flood is my second favorite beam type. Thanls for watching!
The MS06 is amazing. Such a great flood light.
Have you had an issue with yours shutting off when on turbo? My MS06 and R60C have done this. They'll run turbo for a few seconds and then the light shuts off. I can turn it back on, but when it starts doing this it does it every time until I charge it. The thing is though, that when it starts happening the battery shouldn't even be that low. Like not even half empty.
Also, when in turbo the red light will come on and the light isn't even hot at all and the battery will be freshly charged.
I really like both lights, but this red light and shut off issue may cause me to return them. I have a DX80 on the way so I'm curious if that will have a similar issue.
@@Isaiiahii No issues but recomnend you use a dedicated battery charger to charge the battery.
@@Isaiiahii I have seen the red light issue in videos but with my light so far I have not seen it. And I rarely use the turbo to be honest (usually I only use the 2500-4000 lumen daily) but when I tried the turbo it never shut off
P10iX is even more floodier for the same Lumens, cheaper & slimmer too.
Nice video Charles! So obviously it's a thermal time down, can you say approximately from Turbo when it's time to drop ?
Its last about 71 seconds in cool weather. On high there appears to be no cycle down in cool weather. Thanks for watching!
I finally decided to see approximately how warm the P20iX “Hot” this puppy gets. First I have one of the laser thermometers that I used. I kept my P20iX on its turbo setting until it dropped down to its next lower setting on its own. It’s head was approximately 153 degrees Fahrenheit or 65.6 Celsius. The tail cap was approximately 105 degrees Fahrenheit or 40.6 Celsius. It’s battery- removed was about 80-85 degrees F or 27.8 Celsius. ~~ your results will vary ~~ Needless to say my light was to hot to hold while it was on turbo and even when it cut back. I was able to bring turbo back on after clicking it on and off quite a few times - I didn’t count how many times figuring the amount of times would vary from users. But I will say once doing this on and off it stayed on turbo about 20 - 30 seconds which continued to heat my light up even higher to about 163 degrees F.
I have to admit I considered what I was doing to be abusing my light something I wasn’t comfortable doing so I quit doing so. But it still works fine and I still have a total of 4 batteries but the one I used for this test I marked to see if it might fail sooner than my others.
I am sure other lights get hotter but this is the hottest one that I own. I hav a hand full of lights that I use while on SAR missions of which this P20iX is perfect for the required 3 lights I am required to carry on missions.
Really like Charles BridgTec’s reviews and I would like to ask of him to add this test to his reviews. I can say without a doubt this light requires some type of glove or rap it with a rag. But don’t keep anything around the light as it will prevent it from cooling off.
Yes, I always say not to run turbo consistently on most flashlights but will cycle down to a safe level. Bypassing this like you did will get the light very toasty and just like my night shots this often happens to me during tests. Winter time they make great hand warmers. Thanks for watching!
@@CharlesBridgTec - Howdy I hope that you didn’t take my amateur testing that I was stepping on your toes? I definitely wouldn’t ever purposely do anything like that. I happened to be on a SAR mission South of one of our Southwestern states - well in Mexico - and was using this light a lot for what I needed at that time. I noticed it had gotten really warm and decided to really check this out once home. My results aren’t very accurate but I got the point across to myself that this puppy gets hot. So I was curious just how hot thus the test.
I will delete my test if you like I probably should not have posted it on your channel. I respect your reviews and you as a person educating all of us and NiteCore has you to thank for my purchase.
Thank You and keep up doing your very good reviews. I had noticed a while back your thumb with its black and blue nail and how many months it took to grow out “ ouch “. Cheers
You did not offend me. My thumb was crushed in a bad storm we had way back then with 70mph winds which happened when securing stuff at the last minute. Hurt like hell. My thumb was swollen for two weeks so I did not record videos until swelling went down. Take care.
@@CharlesBridgTec - So very sorry to hear about this and it did look very painful. I was always going to ask but felt ah maybe I shouldn’t. But I can tell your a very good carrying person the more I watch your videos. I am on the qt side but once I get yakking I have to tell myself ok it’s time to be quiet now. Thanks
Does this flashlight have a lanyard hole on its body? Lanyard is included in the package but I've yet to see any picture or angle that clearly shows the holes on the battery cap and I kinda remember a picture showing the lanyard attached to the clip (maybe it was some other model, can't remember).
No. You can use lanyard thru the hole on the clip. Thanks for watching!
@@CharlesBridgTec Thanks for the video and the kind reply... So appreciated...
@@mimimmimmimim YW
I think I still prefer my P20 v2. It has "only" 1100 lumens and memory mode (unlike old P20i, doesn't have) but it is enough to me in all ways (I use it for duty services). This flood beam I don't know If I like it.
Hey Charlie, what do you think one day you making a video about your light's collection? It would be epic!
Yeah but no time for that project at this time. Thanks for watching!
A proper, almost perfect, compact tactical flooder. It'll sit nicely next to my MH12S.
Thanks for watching!
What would make it perfect?
@@Daniel-ld7xs It's not in my possession yet.
Great review.
Will a normal 21700 battery work on this flashlight?
No, it won't. Thanks for watching!
Hi, great review on the light uh which do you prefer, P20ix or P10ix
I like them both. Thanks for watching!
Nice review 👌 p20ix or mh12s which one is batter wats ur recommendations?
Depends on what beam type you want. Thanks for watching!
Hey bud great review I bought the exact light but the box had no wrapping or sticker to seal it. Is this normal? was your like this??
Mine was not shrink wrapped. Thanks for watching!
It seems like that tailswitch could accidently get ripped off? 🤔 Don't you agree?
Btw, compared to the p10iX, which one gets less hot to hold bare-handed when used at higher modes for a longer period?
I'm looking for a new tactical EDC alternative to my Olight M2R Pro, because it almost immediately gets WAY too hot to hold at the higher ouput modes! I have a condition that makes my skin very sensitive to heat and causes burning rashes even at just slightly warmer temperatures 😞
Any light will get hot on their higher outputs. These will cycle down due to heat though. P10iX has a smaller head. Thanks for watching!
Great review. Question - Am I being stupid, where do I attach the lanyard to on the torch?
Holes are on the clip. Thanks for watching!
@@CharlesBridgTec Thanks. Are, so nothing on the torch?
No.
Nice flashlight ✌
Thanks for watching!
Tip for owners, you have a "hidden" 3rd way to use the pocket clip at the cost of some scratches, the clip fits where the "nitecore P20ix" is printed, gives a much more deep carry
Thanks for watching!
hello charles, thanks for the review. starting from 8:45 when you showed the blinking volt system, i've been wondering wether mine was defect or not. when i had fully charged after waiting for hours, mine only showing 4.2 volt (4 blinking + another 2 after paused) how about you (im using the 21700 hpi nitecore, the manual book says it should have shown 6.4 max)? i appreciate the answer.
4.2v is fully charged. Thanks for watching!
@@CharlesBridgTec but the manual book shown the correct for using 21700 is 6.4 volt for fully charged.
if using the CR123 the manual says it would shown maximum 4.2volt
did yours also shown 4.2 while using 21700?
thanks for the reply.
4.2v is max of any 21700 cell. I just checked the manual and see no where listed 6.4v unless using two CR123 cells will be 6.0v
@@CharlesBridgTec it's in picture diagram. A line diagram. Listed under power indication section. It's the only one on the manual that teach of how to read the voltage by reading blue flash after battery inserted or after unplugged from power source.
@@CharlesBridgTec mine like this
1x21700 battery
Low power. Full power
--------(4.8)---------(5.6)-----(6.0)----(6.4)--
How would you compare this to the Wuben A21 you did a review of? I'm in the market for something "floodier". Any thoughts? Which one can run at maximum light the longest? Thanks for all your videos!
Nitecore would be floodier if there is a word. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the response! Would you know which lasts longer at the largest lumens?
@@TheBillclark2 Nitecore. As far as lumen output after stepdown or without.
Which one you recommended olight seeker 3 pro or p20ix?
P20iX. Thanks for watching!
I think the P10iX is a better deal, it has a wider angle of dazzle given the lower candela rating despite the same 4000 lumens. Plus it is slimmer, more pocket friendly & cheaper as well.
Thanks for watching!
Top nitecore p20i X✌
Thanks for watching!
Has anyone figured out how to attach the lanyard??
Yes. To the clip. Thanks for watching!
Which one flashlight is better? Nitecore p20iX or fenix pd36r pro?
Depends on the beam type you want. Both are different. Thanks for watching!
Is there a way to use turbo without holding down the mode button? I like the holster.
That's the only way because turbo is timed. Thanks for watching!
@@CharlesBridgTec also, is there a lockout mode on this light?
@@waylee264 Yes there is.
Only in tactical mode. It will always comes on in turbo then, with no memory except remembering between turbo or its non-linear strobe. However, tactical mode drops the possibility of the 'higher' 1700 lumen mode and I think the lowest mode - which are only available in daily mode.
If compare this P20ix to imalent ms 03 and r30c, what will be your comment?
All are very nice lights. Thanks for watching!
I’m looking for a bright floodlight with long runtime. Which light will you get among these 3? Or you have better recommendations?
great video cheers
p10ix vs p20ix which is best ?
Both are great. Thanks for watching!
How does this compare to the E4K?
Nicer UI. Looks more tactical but is a bit larger as well. Also check out the i4000R as well. Thanks for watching!
Where does the lanyard connect?
Thru the holes on the clip. Thanks for watching!
Bro, is this the same brightness as the T4K?
Lumen output yes with much better runtimes. Thanks for watching!
I preferred this size light that can throw over 1000 meters distance and not consume too much battery which mean 1500-2000 lumens. It's good size for tactical that can fit in the pockets.
Thanks for watching!
May be can google for white laser ?
@@uglyshooter It is called LEP (Laser Excited Phosphorus), not white laser.
the best tactical police flashlight in the world = Nitecore P20iX
Thanks for watching!
@@CharlesBridgTec
Elo
What does mean _《cycling down》_ after turbo mode? The light doesn't stay at 4000 lums during 30 minutes?
Seems there is NO SOS and BEACON mode ?
Pls advice
Tq
No SOS or beacon. Thanks for watching!
Thank you n Happy New Year n Good Health
@@porkutehng2175 Same to you.
Can we use 18650 cell on this flashlight
No. Thanks for watching!
@@CharlesBridgTec thanks for answering 👍
Hi bro,which is the best between P20ix and MH25S ?
It depends on the beam type you desire because they have different types. Thanks for watching!
@@CharlesBridgTec ok.tks.
Sadly the RSW2i p-switch doesnt work with the p20ix.
Thanks for watching!
It seems to work for Protechteus.
Nice Flashlight, BridgTec Google says the average Light house power is 1 million Candle power, and that translates into 12 and a half million Lumens, but theres something wrong with those figures because a 12 million Lumen Flashlight would be way more powerful than a Lighthouse.
Nothing at all is wrong for you are referring to an old light house which was measured by candle power which is lower than a lux rating which these lights are measured. Light houses use a lot of reflective lighting which if LED's where uses would be way brighter overall. Thanks for watching!
Sir I am your new subscriber please tell me mh 25s or P20 IX which one is better option thanx
Depends on the beam you want. Thanks for watching!
@@CharlesBridgTec hmmm which one is batter
Or
Which one you like
Which one is nicer
?
I don’t-know about beams recommend me one thnx
@@arshadmahmood8404 Do you want flood or need more throw?
@@CharlesBridgTec 🤔 sometime I like through and sometime I like flood thats y I’m confused 😕
That’s why I would like to have your humble opinion about this ,
Thanx for your reply
Why is the battery proprietary? Aren't 21700 batteries supposed to be standard?
Nitecore designed this new battery configuration for is power output which is increased over the regular 21700 set up. Thanks for watching!
@@CharlesBridgTec Do you happen to know the specifics of why that is, from an electrical engineering standpoint? Does this P20ix battery somehow use both negatives and positives on each end for higher-current/lower-impedance type of reasons? I'm a learning-electronics flashaholic hobbyist refreshing my aging fleet of 'Surfire' type lights with some of these unbelievable powerhouses.
I've also been wondering the same of the battery types that have only one negative-only end and the positive-negative-combined end --- I'm curious as to what the deal is with those as well.
👍
👍
Klarus xt21x Pro looks awesome.
Thanks for watching!
Xt11gtpro v2 3300 lumens, 410 m throw
@@nickmartin8495 Will check it out.
Xt21x Pro must be better though no?
I got my P20iX today and I think I'm going to send it back. The color temp is way too white and washes colors out almost completely when on turbo. I think if the color temp were a bit on the warm side it would be perfect. This light has such a cool color temp that it makes my Seeker 2 Pro look warm.
It's also my first light that is exclusively controlled from the back button, and I would really like to have a side button as well. I like back buttons, and in some cases use them, but for daily tasks I find the side button much more comfortable to use.
Thanks for watching!
will this light blind evil criminals?
Only if you shine it in your eyes. Thanks for watching!
