Dear Nitecore, I absolutely love the TIP. I have at least 5 of them and it’s easily the most used light I own. I bought a copper and regular TINI and here’s the problem. I never use the TINI because of that stupid switch. I was so excited when I saw this TIP2 but not anymore. I hate, hate, hate holding the switch down to turn on the TINI. When I want light, I want it NOW. Not in a moment. “Hey, what was that noise. Hold on a couple secs, I’m waiting for my light to turn on”. Scooby and the gang would be really disappointed too. The bad guy would always get them. Lockout is much better then a momentary switch. I guess I’ll wait for the TIP3
A bit of case protection at the corners and a lock for the tail would make it more durable if dropped and help prevent accidental separation. Just my two cents...
Hey Nitecore, can you please tell me when this flashlight will receive a much needed update to the more common (now) USB-C port? I want to buy this model for me and all my family & friends but at this point the micro usb it’s just obsolete; thank you
LOL got distracted I own one of these lights to you I use it all the time it's nice to note that you can use the light while it's charging I use it as a night light as well
Is the TIP SE the latest upgrade to the TIP2? I am assuming so because the SE uses a USB-C which seems to be an upgrade from micro usb although not necessarily so.
How long does the turbo mode stay in turbo? And is it a timed step down or regulated by heat? I held off buying the TUP hoping you could do better, this seems like it has all the right upgrades. Time to retire my tried and true TIP 360?
I just received mine, Turbo stays on for as long as you hold the button, there is no constant on with step down like the TiP 2017. It is temperature regulated so I assume it will step down if it gets too hot.
@@NitecoreStore maybe pass along this suggestion to the people in whichever country make the new designs, it would be awesome if nitecore and all other flashlight companies finally see the "micro usb" port is on its way out, seriously ever heard of this new thing called usb-c? people dont want to carry numerous types of cables with them!
@@benbraceletspurple9108 ok maybe on this flashlight since its very tiny the extra one millimeter of usb-c would have been an issue. i was just saying in general why aren't there WAY MORE options being made that do have it? If somewhere between 70-90% of new lights on the market had the port that would make total sense to me.
Hey Do It Yourself, it could be two things, 1) The Tip 2 can be programmed into daily mode, or demo mode. In demo mode, the light automatically turns off after a set amount of time. You can refer to your instruction manual to see how to change modes. It is also on the nitecorestore website. 2) You could be accessing momentary turbo, where if you hold the mode button past a second, it turns off when you release the mode button. If either of these cases seem unlikely, please email us at support@nitecorestore.com and our customer service team here in Austin, Texas will get to you as soon as possible.
I do likethe Nitecore line but they shouldn't have changed to micro USB versus the new more reliable and versatile standard of USB-C which they have on the TIP SE 700. USB Type-C is more flexible and faster than micro USB. What would be a great feature is to be able to use the battery in the flashlight to provide emergency power which the USB-C standard could provide. i.e. cell phone
This is actually an older model. The Tip came out, then Tip 2017, then Tip 2, then Tip SE. I know, I always complain about how our naming is not very intuitive. For the foreseeable future I think they will only be releasing lights with USB-C charging.
I love you Nitecore, but this is more of a TIP1.5 than a actual 2.0. The jump from 200 lumens to 720 is too drastic both on necessity and battery life. Why not add a 400 or 500 lumen mode in between? The color temperature is pretty close to CRi levels, but do you plan to release one? Thank you Nitecore!
it look like the indicator lights woul be 1,2,3, and then they decided not to use 3 leds or cant, and then just kept the body design and when to a flashing indication instead.
Unfortunately we do not ship internationally. However I would suggest perhaps Nitecore Lights, they are the Nitecore distributor based out of Singapore.
Sorry, ill never buy Nitecore again. And i was a fan. First the plastic antiroll ring on P30 break with no abuse at all. Now the plastic clip on Tip2 break. Not even a month of light usage. Expansive products made with common crappy materials.
Doubled the lumens but cut run time in half ... no thank you. I’ll spend $40 + on upgrade from my couple of TIPs when TIP 2 has same run time WITH double lumens.
In my opinion this is a downgrade from the last Tip. No CRI version, weird UI, higher pricing, and brightness levels are not to my liking. A 720 lumen turbo mode pressing the button, no thanks. A 500 lumen turbo would have been more than enough. I'll take a Tip Cri over this any day.
0:32 an impressive 720 lumens TURBO rivals the brightness of flashlights twice this size? LMAO. There are flashlights in 2019 SMALLER than this with 1500-2000 lumens. I reall like Nitecore designs but they are sorely underpowered compared to the competition.
Such nonsense! I’m betting that if you held this little key ring light in your hand or used it, you would never buy it. You’ll thank me if you go to a store and check it out first.

Just got mine from you guys, it’s about the perfect for EDC usage. And I’ve been looking and replacing for the last 10 years 😀
I just got mine and your excellent video has me up and running. I'm looking forward to many years of use from my Tip2. TYVM.

@@BluestedSRT4 Thank You for the information. Going to buy one of these soon.
hello good afternoon, i bought one of this ec11 nitecore ..more my pocket clip didn’t come big and deep like this .. because it will be ???
Do you have to hold the turbo button to use it again ? It seems like you have to on the demo
That's correct. Turbo is a "burst" mode which requires you to press and hold the mode button to access it.
great work NITECORE!
QUESTION: Can the light be used while being charged??? It would be great to be able to use it while charging it from a belt-mounted power bank.
You can absolutely use the TIP2 while charging! Excellent idea :)

there is a space issue with the type C. plenty of tech still runs micro, so I can't blame nitcore here. @@tubevideoguy762

@@tubevideoguy762 just be grateful that this flashlight uses generic micro usb rather than proprietary charger.
Nice little flashlight
Hello there. When I put it in turbo mode it works for 1 or 2 seconds and turns off. It does not work for a long time. How can I solve the problem?

I wall like to like your flashlights but i buy a nitecore tube and it wall not work i like the disine but was not working😐😐😐😡

3.5x lumens is a typical jump, and after 5 minutes it wont be able to turn on that bright anyways.
there we go, finally a keychain flashlight to compete with the acebeam uc15
it look like the indicator lights woul be 1,2,3, and then they decided not to use 3 leds or cant, and then just kept the body design and when to a flashing indication instead.
Nice review and I love the red hair😘
Very neat design 🤩
I think a uc15 is a bit more versatile in this format
eh, but the battery issue. id say this is healthy competition.
Personally prefer the old ui. (This is actually one of my cons for tini.)
Also prefer the old design #cantmoveon 😅

Interested only if TIP2 CRI model is available!
heat problem.@@passive101
Want this so bad
Bought it and love it
Toko di indonesia ada ga ya yg jual nitcore ?

Rovyvon A5 shuts this down.
Alex Cravey that’s comparable to the Nitecore Tiki, not this light

That would never happen because of its size, size would stay same you can only fit so much into small factor flashlight
at the same brightness, the tip2 has more runtime.

Not true at turbo or high, which are the most useful / realistically useful lumens.

Name some flashlights that are smaller than tip 2 with 1500-2000 lms
Just not..
thumbs up for not moving to a proprietary charging method, but why not usb-c instead of micro? 🤔
size is a factor for sure.
Holding for ON is unacceptable.
Holding for on means less chance of accidentally activation. It’s literally holding the button for an extra second.
half second
