I spent 14 as LEO, until health issues demanded my resignation. Worked in construction, building automation and systems maint. Finally went to truck driving. EVERY one of these duties requires a high quality of flashlight. My trucking is night shift - need to light up trailer interiors, frequent breakdowns using it to help road service & mechanics.
The TM20K will be an awesome addition to my rescue backpack and can help us to locate, assist or rescue a person quicker in the dark. I'm currently using few NiteCore lights and items for my main gear and for my K9 partner (like the Nu06 for strobe signalisation of the rescue dog and the rescuers ) and i never being disappointed by the quality !
Hey MJ thanks for the review! I just recently bought the TM9K TAC and it was a great light. The 5000mah battery from full charge holds up pretty well in terms of blasting turbo couple of times. I know this by monitoring the TM9K TAC by locking it out every time I'm done with blasting turbo and it still stays on 4.0 volts which is very impressive. I'll be honest that I was going to buy that TM20K but it was too expensive and a bit bigger in my hands. Anyways that flashlight is superb!!!
I could use this light in almost any situation from blackout to party, and from self defense to night walk. Now I got my tiki keychain light with UV feature which is pretty useful for me. Thanks for your great products. Quality and innovation with reasonable prices - this is NITECORE for me!
I like how nitecore makes every product completely different from precious products instead of making the same product with micro updates and labeling them v2 v3 v4 and etc hate when companies make the same item with minor differences with 20 different mode names! Great job!
Yes yes! I couldn't agree more, every torch is different and serves a different purpose, yes at the end of the Day they all produce light, but with these awesome devices every torch does it differently to suit different situations, I'm in love too hehe
Will use it as a secondary light while I’m in camping locally and overseas. Mainly use will be in campsite setting up while in the dark or primary light is not working for me or my partner’s
I use to be a surefire fan boy but nitecore changed that this light alone can eat through the entire surefire lineup period and even the small TM9K strobe mode is a weapon even in daylight you could stop an attacker and rechargeable USC C omg I pray nitecore only gets better
For english being your second language, you do a great job. Most second language video promoters I have to skip their video's because I can't understand them. You also do a great job with the format of your reviews. Thanks. Im in skilled trades, this has lead to me having a large collection of lights, both for function as well as keeping up with advancements throughout the years. My current edc is a olight baton pro but I have everything from surefire, to Nightcore, to Jetbeam, Streamlight, Zebra, and everything from headlamps, to self standing battery worklights, to throwers, and floodlights. Ill probably need to upgrade one more time before retirement, but current technology hasnt gotten to making it worth me climbing into that rabbit hole yet. Glad to know you'll be there to help when its time. Not saying your quite up to Marshall from Going Gear shoe filling, but God rest his sole, no one will ever replace him.
I appreciate the moderate spotlight with the flood performance. I would use this for work on the farm, checking large fields in the dark while also being able to spot some animal in the nearby tree line.
That's awesome light! My dad is a farmer, so i will give it to him because they always look after the crops at night because other people can take what they worked hard to plant. They only sleep with candles so this is a big help. Thank you so much, hoping to win. And Thank for the awesome review!
Looks like a great dual purpose light. I can see keeping one at home and another in your car. We have four seasons and severe weather, this is perfect to keep on hand with its long runtime and incredible brightness.
i can't believe i love torch light so much , i always keep on watching on the new product . especially the EC4s when it's bright the whole banquet hall during the project at night time.
What an absolute beast! I will use this light for daily purposes when I'm strolling at night and I would find this really useful during night camping. I really like the way it can switch from floodlight to spotlight.
I like the care and building details that Nitecore takes in all its products. I’ll use this model as an EDC item. I’ve got several Nitecore but nothing so powerful. Thanks for the reviews.
I am super happy with my TM9K, excellent performance, good battery life and the turbo mode is sensational...now it would be amazing to have the one that doubles the power....just amazing!!!
I have a TM26 I bought in 2014 and I have introduced Nitecore to my best friend who is a policeman. He's been wanting a Nitecore flashlight for many years, but other priorities have keeping him from buying one. Unfortunately the policemen are not very well paid here in Brazil. Recently he passed the (extremely difficult) test for police chief. The TM20K would be the perfect duty flashlight for him, as well as a nice gift to someone who genuinely chose to protect others at the cost of his own safety.
That's one hell of a light. That's a beast. Don't wanna get shined by one of those lights especially in the highest mode. That would surely be great for night patrols and night rescue ops. Loving Nitecore more now.
Been using the TM9K at work for a couple years now. Great flashlight and super bright. I work graveyard security so it comes in handy every night. The TM20K looks even better. Hopefully I can upgrade one of these days.
I would use this at work (as a security officer at a hospital) where we are constantly checking dimly lit parking lots for thief and wrong doers. Thanks for the awesome opportunity for the giveaway!
This is just wonderful! I recently got a TM9K Tac, and the experience with it is absurdly amazing. I work as a police officer, and the tactical light blasts are indeed a life saver. Last night shift it saved me from needing to use force against an aggressive dude before arresting him. Just a really strong light blast and BOOM he was lost for a couple seconds - was enough to cuff and immobilize him. I am really looking forward to give the TM20K a ride!
This would be really nice in a camping, hunting or hiking environment. Nitecore always has the most innovative features and designs. Keep up the good work.
Found this channel by accident while looking for reviews of the TM20K. Clear & concise review by the way so I immediately subscribed. I have the TM9K & Concept 2 for a while now & while those two were shockingly stunning in brightness when I first got them, after a while I kinda got used to them & so the search for something even brighter inexplicably begins.. looks like this TM20K might be one. But I’m in no hurry.. would probably wait awhile for the price to come down a bit
I have the older TM15 and TM25 and keep them in the car. I'd EDC this TM20K due to smaller size, and I love the tail switch. Another awesome review as usual! 👍
Wow amazing light no doubt! I would use this light at work in my shop, being a mechanic and working late nights a nice quality bright light can make all the difference! Nitecore makes some awesome lights and I love the videos that explain and compare different lights, it helps make a buyer like me more confident in the fact they are getting the right light for the job!
Just bought mine for the collection, really nice flashlight pros flood and beam light but still love my 10k compact, 3lumens output also customiseble output up to 2000 lumens .i would love if the 20k had a ultralow flood anyway keep up yhe good work nitecore!!!!!
I live in the woods and there's plenty of wolves out there. I already lost one of my dogs because of those animals. I hope that with that light i can see in the night whenever they come. Thanks.
My camping main light and backyard light is the TM16GT, aka. the Tiny Monster. Simply, super duper bright, four batteries, long lasting. Hard to beat for longevity. Love Nitecore!!!!
The best use case I had for a P20ix was the initial stage of a blackout. Turbo it towards the ceiling and the 4000 lumens flood basically gives everyone in the room enough light to asses the situation and plan their reactions, looking for their lights, first aid, check for injuries etc.
Dammit man, all I can say is WOW! Talk about calling forth the Sun with the push of a button! This light is absolutely insane, that's why it just got put on my bucket list lol. It looks as if it would feel a little awkward in the hand, but I'm sure a lot of that has to do with the thinner, square shape at the bottom as it transitions about halfway, into being completely round at the top. Either way, a 1200 lumens high beam with 20,000 lumens just a single button push away from making people think that Jesus has returned, I can totally deal with awkward! Lmao! Very thorough and informative video my friend, keep the Nitecore goodness flowing! Cheers
Have you reached out to the Pope at the Vatican to see if they would like to try one of these during an exorcism? Lol. I'd almost bet that one quick blast of Turbo would probably do the trick quite nicely, and the only side effect the person would get is a little sunburn and temporary white spots in their vision. Hell, it might even be able to cure the blind too. Cheers for real this time.
I would love to use this light... I work night shifts on the railway. Sometimes you need super bright where it can flood and throw so you can inspect the rail or to signal workers to clear track
I love Nitecore, I've added 9 or ten over the last two years, the P18 is my overall fav, my go to torch, my if i could only take one torch I'd take my P18
@@NitecoreSG it's feature packed, here's something I think i discovered, but you probably already know this, on the P18 if you activate the red LED as well as low white light you actually can get a quite amazing 3D effect while shining at close distance, it gives an amazing depth of field ;)
@@NitecoreSG I've also got the tm10k, which I love, my only gripe, and yeah it's not a huge deal, but the 10,000 Lumens!!! Printed on the side looks really cheap and tacky, I'm not trying to impress anyone like a teenager lol, I've covered it over with the hook side of stick on Velcro tape which also gives a great grip point for my thumb so i don't drop it
@@NitecoreSG @Nitecore Lights thankyou, I was feeling a little lonely after saying that, i truly love Nitecore torches, the build quality is simply stunning, it's the quality id expect shopping at Harrods:) and that's why I didn't like the 10,000 Lumems!!! Printed on the side, it made it look a little cheap and nasty, it's my torch for me, not something I'm showing off like a teenager (although i really am still a big kid haha) but as I said a little Velcro tape covered it over and added grip so it's actually more useful so I'm happy. I appreciate quality in any form, it doesn't matter what it is i LOVE over engineered "stuff" whatever it is, and Nitecore torches are the perfect combination of quality and performance So keep up the awesome design and innovative and unique models, Nitecore has a torch for EVERY situation and budget, and torches that can do things not even mentioned, eg, why don't Nitecore promote the fact their TM series torches CAN actually start fires?? I've personally used my TM10K to start a couple of camp fires when my fire steel was lost, don't put a warning on the side saying danger danger danger Will Robertson! Add instructions on HOW to use it to start a fire in a survival situation, you're missing opertunities! Nitecore products are simply awesome, I think i might buy some shares haha:)
I would use it for general protection at night and a search light. I have been looking at this exact model recently since I saw it in Jon Gadget's channel some time ago. I used to keep a Klarus RS20 handy when driving at night (lots of opportunities for criminals to ambush you when you stop at a junction, seen it happen many times here) or whenever I go out at night in general. The Klarus is out of commission for a few months now and been looking at a replacement. Love love love the instant strobe, I have actually used the strobe on my edc light for self defense just the other night when some drunk angry guy tried to come at me. Can say from that experience, the strobe is much more effective for disorienting an attacker than just a solid light. The long throw on this TM20k looks to be awesome as a search light. I'm not in any SAR group but have needed and used a long throw light on many occasions. This size with all it's features make it my dream flashlight at the moment!
I would use it for film making and photography, I currently use a snapon ecard dual flex light but I’m always looking at products that get more and more portable over time. You guys should make an updated nitecore version dual flex light with magnets too, it would sell VERY well.
Nice work! I hope to try out my own nitecore soon! Great features and love the flood/spot combo! That would be amazing to have as a emergency light for where myself my wife and our 5 kids live. We are 280 miles from the nearest walmart/hospital etc. Great to have for our shopping trips incase any type emergency happens. (Breakdown, accidents, or attempted thefts)
One problem that wasn't fixed is the irreplaceable battery. If the battery dies in roughly 2 years, you can't just buy a $20 cell and continue using the light. You need a whole new $500 light
I'm an industrial electrician and we have to sometimes see far and sometimes we have to maneuver around big heavy vehicle, I think that is were this would be usefull for me, the bundle looks really good btw!
I have been looking for such a light for herd inspection at night. The flood light to see all the animals together & spotlight function to see any stray animals or threats like wild dogs at a distance as they're good at hiding in the long grass. I'm sure the TM20K strobe would be enough to blind & disorient a mongrel dog. Perfect !
Such a powerful light for it's size would come in handy while we camp after our night time firearm Training course at my local hunting club so finger's definitely crossed over here in NC
To be honest... this is like the One Ring. It can do everything as long as you can handle it hahaha. I would actually use this as my main EDC light here in SG and when im travelling overseas and be confident in the fact that its ultra low is strong as other common lights, and theres enough power to do it all in emergencies, PLUS its a self defence tool all rolled into one. Perfect!
Nice! I live in Sweden and in the winter the sun is just up between 09:00 AM and sets at 02:00 PM .Otherwise it is dark as hell. So I'd really want a bright light to use while doing stuff outside. Thanks for great content!!!
I work as a corrections officer, and a light like this will cover most uses I can think of. Great looking light. I currently use a TM9K on the job, but a few more lumens never hurt. 😁
This is super ideal for my work..since i always do roadblock and search n rescue..might getting it for my backup and special occasion.. i already have p20i for main light..
Very good light I work as a building maintenance worker. Its perfect light for me in my workplace. The small beam can be used for indoor and the sudden turbo boost can be used outdoors and wide area. Good for building maintenance and monitoring. I have the P20iX using this for a year now. But sometimes in outdoor application you need that floodlight. 4000 lumens is good but sometimes of you want to illuminate a huge area especially outdoors 4000 lumens is not enough. Indoors light bounce around walls no matter how big is the area. But if its outdoor its like the darkness is never ending. I have to either bring a long throw flashlight or a flood light like the P20iX. With this TM20K its like having the swiss army knife of flashlight. You have spot + flood in a compact form factor.
Perfect scenario for the double beams, thanks for sharing! You got it right on the Swiss Army knife of flashlights. Looks like it’s going to be awesome for your use case
I have an EDC P20iX This would be carried along side that when camping or walking around the block at night for Neighborhood Watch purposes. 4k lumens seemed bright when I first got it 20k lumens is incredible.
i use tm9k for body guarding it is amazing tools for a lot of reasons first thing i can used it as a Radio replacement to communicate with my group, strobe of this tiny monster can get easily notice you and they know that there's a urgent need for for them, second is the burst can see clearly what is in front of you even 200 meters away from you in a bad weather like storm or whatever things that need to be rescued, tm20k is definitely will be more advantage on all kind of scenarios it will be very helpful whatever they throw on you
wow.. great product.. i will use it as my daily working routine during night as a Security Guard at a construction site. it will serve me right,as i am using a normal china model torchlight. Thinking of buying one,but to expensive for me.
I got p20ix after so much waiting but my uncle took it from me and I can't say no. I was very much enjoying it but now I will have to wait more to get my hands on that beauty.
this is so nice, I'm a firefighter and doing some search and rescue also.. nitecore flashlights that I have so far is LR12, P30i, NM02,.. i hope i get this for my additional gear and huge help in every operation
Great review with lots of useful information. Thanks. I would use this light as a search light for severe weather and for if SHTF. This light is going on my wish list
Cool light I saw Charles bridgtec do a review on this light i think it cool i just do not know i feel about in build in battary i think it cool but in the back of my mind what if the battary goes bad other wise cool light
This light is awesome bright! I would use it for countryside exploring where there are no street lamps and gets really dark in evening. Good portable size too! Cheers!
AWESOME LIGHT! I have purchased, used, and loved, many of their flashlights, one thing is if you use the light and the pocket clip often, I would reccomend some red lock tight before bed :)
With combination of flood light and spotlight.. this will be an easy buy for me. I routinely do neighbourhood watch in my area, i think this light will be perfect for that.
Hey Mj love the video, would definitely prefer to see more videos where you compare similar products so its easier for the viewer to make an informed decision when considering which product best suites their needs. I think the TM20K would help me in multiple scenarios. Firstly we have quite a few power cuts currently and sometimes for extended periods. Additionally we do go outdoors to farms quite a bit and and the ability to swop from a floodlight to a spot can be very helpful. More importantly violent crime here is on the rise and criminals are well armed, while hand guns are practically illegal and even our police are unarmed, so being able to disorient or temporarily disable a criminal goes along way, its also more effective during power cuts, which is prime time for quite a lot of criminal activity.
Two types of beam in one flashlight! I Love this design! No need to take two flashlights on work again,I wish I can have one but I just Bought P20i a few weeks early.Btw good job!
Nitecore makes products for practical reasons. I tried the p10ix 4000 lumens and you aren't really left needing more.... but the Tm9k has more than double the lumens 9800!! The difference of the higher lumens really makes sense when it's not pitch black outside and you need a powerful flood light. Doubling the lumens again at 20,000 will make the light even more versatile in large areas when it's not pitch black.
I have a problem on my side of the apartment. People are stealing bikes from the bike rack at night. i think the TM20K will have me keep the 'rats' away.
I like the flashlight with the ring that goes around your finger so you could technically hold firmly is that an option or is that come with the flashlight?
This is a very good light, I can use this on our weekly camping. I can light those bushes to look for a better and safe spot to camp. That flashlight will make me feel safer everynight. :-)
I would use it for fishing in the dark when reallying in fish or going out to a search a spot to fish at and feeding my animals at night. Great videos as always
As a trucker this flashlight is pretty close to perfect. The flood is perfect for doing my inspection when light conditions are not optimal which many yards aren't well lit and the throw is great for walking and being able to see in front but not blind other drivers in the yard. This flashlight for sure would simplify flashlight needs
@@NitecoreSG Right now I'm using a combo of the Nitecore TIP which I'll clip onto my hat and use anytime I'm outside just to generally illuminate my path or the engine bay. Then carry the Sofirn IF22a to use as a thrower to point when I wanna see stuff I can't get to easily like my coupling or the brakes and suspension on the trailer.
Interesting combination... but what are the exact advantages of a system with many wide and a single thrower beam? I was for a very long time very happy with a Ledlenser M7R X... a nice completely perfect circle of light, a tight beam or anything in between. And that in a super compact size, perfect flooder and a very good thrower (and no hassle with removing/changing batteries to charge.... magnetic adapter/charger with internal charging was THE REASON these days to get a expensive R model with the focussing option. if i ever want both nowadays... i took both simultaniously with a proper orange peeling reflector for example. Or as alternative anything with strong turbo mode (like my Meteor M43, no range but at 7000lm Turbo you get a lot of range in short bursts)
Would be a great light on the beach at night. We go 30 miles down the beach and it is really dark. Good for protection, emergencies and checking lines.
It’s a great light for people like me who usually need light to work in a wide space like stock or factories that I can control a wide range of the room or factory and doing my jobs. Hope that I’m lucky enough to win the giveaway. Love Nitecore Singapore
Great explanation of the tactical use of this light. Without your explanation, the low duration of turbo could be dismissed as the company simply chasing a high lumen count to be able to advertise. But now it makes sense. The ergos look great with the location of the controls. Also, I really like the ability to switch to flood or spot only. This looks like a great light!
I spent 14 as LEO, until health issues demanded my resignation. Worked in construction, building automation and systems maint. Finally went to truck driving. EVERY one of these duties requires a high quality of flashlight. My trucking is night shift - need to light up trailer interiors, frequent breakdowns using it to help road service & mechanics.
The amount of fellow drivers I run into trying to get stuff done with their phone flashlight is disheartening.
The TM20K will be an awesome addition to my rescue backpack and can help us to locate, assist or rescue a person quicker in the dark.

I love Nitecore, I've added 9 or ten over the last two years, the P18 is my overall fav, my go to torch, my if i could only take one torch I'd take my P18
Yes p18 is one of my favs too. Super compact and minimalist
@@NitecoreSG it's feature packed, here's something I think i discovered, but you probably already know this, on the P18 if you activate the red LED as well as low white light you actually can get a quite amazing 3D effect while shining at close distance, it gives an amazing depth of field ;)
@@NitecoreSG I've also got the tm10k, which I love, my only gripe, and yeah it's not a huge deal, but the 10,000 Lumens!!! Printed on the side looks really cheap and tacky, I'm not trying to impress anyone like a teenager lol, I've covered it over with the hook side of stick on Velcro tape which also gives a great grip point for my thumb so i don't drop it
@@TheNicky9905 I agree on the Tm10k side label 😆
@@NitecoreSG @Nitecore Lights thankyou, I was feeling a little lonely after saying that, i truly love Nitecore torches, the build quality is simply stunning, it's the quality id expect shopping at Harrods:) and that's why I didn't like the 10,000 Lumems!!! Printed on the side, it made it look a little cheap and nasty, it's my torch for me, not something I'm showing off like a teenager (although i really am still a big kid haha) but as I said a little Velcro tape covered it over and added grip so it's actually more useful so I'm happy.
I appreciate quality in any form, it doesn't matter what it is i LOVE over engineered "stuff" whatever it is, and Nitecore torches are the perfect combination of quality and performance
So keep up the awesome design and innovative and unique models, Nitecore has a torch for EVERY situation and budget, and torches that can do things not even mentioned, eg, why don't Nitecore promote the fact their TM series torches CAN actually start fires?? I've personally used my TM10K to start a couple of camp fires when my fire steel was lost, don't put a warning on the side saying danger danger danger Will Robertson! Add instructions on HOW to use it to start a fire in a survival situation, you're missing opertunities!
Nitecore products are simply awesome, I think i might buy some shares haha:)
I would use it for general protection at night and a search light. I have been looking at this exact model recently since I saw it in Jon Gadget's channel some time ago. I used to keep a Klarus RS20 handy when driving at night (lots of opportunities for criminals to ambush you when you stop at a junction, seen it happen many times here) or whenever I go out at night in general. The Klarus is out of commission for a few months now and been looking at a replacement. Love love love the instant strobe, I have actually used the strobe on my edc light for self defense just the other night when some drunk angry guy tried to come at me. Can say from that experience, the strobe is much more effective for disorienting an attacker than just a solid light. The long throw on this TM20k looks to be awesome as a search light. I'm not in any SAR group but have needed and used a long throw light on many occasions. This size with all it's features make it my dream flashlight at the moment!
I would use it for film making and photography, I currently use a snapon ecard dual flex light but I’m always looking at products that get more and more portable over time. You guys should make an updated nitecore version dual flex light with magnets too, it would sell VERY well.
Nice work! I hope to try out my own nitecore soon! Great features and love the flood/spot combo! That would be amazing to have as a emergency light for where myself my wife and our 5 kids live. We are 280 miles from the nearest walmart/hospital etc. Great to have for our shopping trips incase any type emergency happens. (Breakdown, accidents, or attempted thefts)
Da stimme ich Dir voll zu
One problem that wasn't fixed is the irreplaceable battery. If the battery dies in roughly 2 years, you can't just buy a $20 cell and continue using the light. You need a whole new $500 light
Looks looks like a great all purpose light for the cabin, also for personal safety quickly seeing clearly whats out there and fend it off if needed 👍
I'm an industrial electrician and we have to sometimes see far and sometimes we have to maneuver around big heavy vehicle, I think that is were this would be usefull for me, the bundle looks really good btw!
I have been looking for such a light for herd inspection at night. The flood light to see all the animals together & spotlight function to see any stray animals or threats like wild dogs at a distance as they're good at hiding in the long grass. I'm sure the TM20K strobe would be enough to blind & disorient a mongrel dog. Perfect !
Wow that another incredible use case. Very cool 👍
Such a powerful light for it's size would come in handy while we camp after our night time firearm Training course at my local hunting club so finger's definitely crossed over here in NC
To be honest... this is like the One Ring. It can do everything as long as you can handle it hahaha.
I would actually use this as my main EDC light here in SG and when im travelling overseas and be confident in the fact that its ultra low is strong as other common lights, and theres enough power to do it all in emergencies, PLUS its a self defence tool all rolled into one. Perfect!
Nice!
I live in Sweden and in the winter the sun is just up between 09:00 AM and sets at 02:00 PM .Otherwise it is dark as hell.
So I'd really want a bright light to use while doing stuff outside.
Thanks for great content!!!
So given out the flashlight already or not yet? And price to get it is there a website you sell it or its also available in amazon?
I work as a corrections officer, and a light like this will cover most uses I can think of. Great looking light. I currently use a TM9K on the job, but a few more lumens never hurt. 😁
This is super ideal for my work..since i always do roadblock and search n rescue..might getting it for my backup and special occasion.. i already have p20i for main light..
I would mostly use that light to see better in the dark
Name of the lab that verified the outrageous lumen claim?
Very good light I work as a building maintenance worker. Its perfect light for me in my workplace. The small beam can be used for indoor and the sudden turbo boost can be used outdoors and wide area. Good for building maintenance and monitoring. I have the P20iX using this for a year now. But sometimes in outdoor application you need that floodlight. 4000 lumens is good but sometimes of you want to illuminate a huge area especially outdoors 4000 lumens is not enough. Indoors light bounce around walls no matter how big is the area. But if its outdoor its like the darkness is never ending. I have to either bring a long throw flashlight or a flood light like the P20iX. With this TM20K its like having the swiss army knife of flashlight. You have spot + flood in a compact form factor.
Perfect scenario for the double beams, thanks for sharing! You got it right on the Swiss Army knife of flashlights. Looks like it’s going to be awesome for your use case
@@NitecoreSG many thanks
I have an EDC P20iX
This would be carried along side that when camping or walking around the block at night for Neighborhood Watch purposes.
4k lumens seemed bright when I first got it 20k lumens is incredible.
i use tm9k for body guarding it is amazing tools for a lot of reasons first thing i can used it as a Radio replacement to communicate with my group, strobe of this tiny monster can get easily notice you and they know that there's a urgent need for for them, second is the burst can see clearly what is in front of you even 200 meters away from you in a bad weather like storm or whatever things that need to be rescued, tm20k is definitely will be more advantage on all kind of scenarios it will be very helpful whatever they throw on you
Radio replacement, that’s a good use case!
wow.. great product.. i will use it as my daily working routine during night as a Security Guard at a construction site. it will serve me right,as i am using a normal china model torchlight. Thinking of buying one,but to expensive for me.
Need something like this for use out in the ranch when securing the premises
I got p20ix after so much waiting but my uncle took it from me and I can't say no. I was very much enjoying it but now I will have to wait more to get my hands on that beauty.
this is so nice, I'm a firefighter and doing some search and rescue also.. nitecore flashlights that I have so far is LR12, P30i, NM02,.. i hope i get this for my additional gear and huge help in every operation
NM02 is quite rare, how do you find it compared to other lights flood lights?
Great review with lots of useful information. Thanks. I would use this light as a search light for severe weather and for if SHTF. This light is going on my wish list
Yes the 12 month standby makes it good for SHTF emergencies. I’d top it up every 9 months to be safe
Cool light I saw Charles bridgtec do a review on this light i think it cool i just do not know i feel about in build in battary i think it cool but in the back of my mind what if the battary goes bad other wise cool light
No comments.always the best. Will use it for my night hike. Will love to try this at clementi forest. Wonder how will it look like
Do we get to look forward to a comparison video between the tm20k and the fenix lr35r?
I really want this tm20k, but the price is hard to handle, especially I'm still school
This light is awesome bright! I would use it for countryside exploring where there are no street lamps and gets really dark in evening. Good portable size too! Cheers!
AWESOME LIGHT! I have purchased, used, and loved, many of their flashlights, one thing is if you use the light and the pocket clip often, I would reccomend some red lock tight before bed :)
Do you know what surprised me? Those motorcycles and bicycles are standing there on the street in the dark. It's a very beautiful thing
Looks perfect for doing security checks on large rural property.
With combination of flood light and spotlight.. this will be an easy buy for me. I routinely do neighbourhood watch in my area, i think this light will be perfect for that.
I live in Santorini Greece and i want to light up the whole Caldera. Oh my god i really need this!
You said so fast it’s unclear how long it takes to charge the flashlight 30 mims?
Hey Mj love the video, would definitely prefer to see more videos where you compare similar products so its easier for the viewer to make an informed decision when considering which product best suites their needs. I think the TM20K would help me in multiple scenarios. Firstly we have quite a few power cuts currently and sometimes for extended periods. Additionally we do go outdoors to farms quite a bit and and the ability to swop from a floodlight to a spot can be very helpful. More importantly violent crime here is on the rise and criminals are well armed, while hand guns are practically illegal and even our police are unarmed, so being able to disorient or temporarily disable a criminal goes along way, its also more effective during power cuts, which is prime time for quite a lot of criminal activity.
When you say compare, like how I did in this video or you looking at more beamshots and actual use?
@@NitecoreSG Yes, especially actual use. As well as suggestions on situations in which one product is more suitable to another.
Nice light for hunting at night I like it.
Two types of beam in one flashlight!
I Love this design! No need to take two flashlights on work again,I wish I can have one but I just Bought P20i a few weeks early.Btw good job!
This would be great illuminating large fields during search and rescue tasks in the night.
Subscribed and I would use it for the safety in hiking how about you guys?
Nitecore makes products for practical reasons. I tried the p10ix 4000 lumens and you aren't really left needing more.... but the Tm9k has more than double the lumens 9800!! The difference of the higher lumens really makes sense when it's not pitch black outside and you need a powerful flood light. Doubling the lumens again at 20,000 will make the light even more versatile in large areas when it's not pitch black.
Agree, it’s practically scaling up
The more important feature in a product is quality which mean long lasting. This is something nitecore has.
Would use it for lighting up the lake when I gotta see across it. Looks cool!
I have a problem on my side of the apartment. People are stealing bikes from the bike rack at night. i think the TM20K will have me keep the 'rats' away.
I like the flashlight with the ring that goes around your finger so you could technically hold firmly is that an option or is that come with the flashlight?
The output emanating from this light is insane , I want one now 😭
I live out in country not much light after dark. This would be great to check around house for intruders or wild animals
I would use it in Hungarian dripstone Caves. I regularly go in there and a light like this would fit perfectly for those occations!
This is a very good light, I can use this on our weekly camping. I can light those bushes to look for a better and safe spot to camp. That flashlight will make me feel safer everynight. :-)
very nice, I’m probably use it for home defense, I bought the P20ix and love it, but 20k would be cool to use too
I would use it for fishing in the dark when reallying in fish or going out to a search a spot to fish at and feeding my animals at night. Great videos as always
As a trucker this flashlight is pretty close to perfect. The flood is perfect for doing my inspection when light conditions are not optimal which many yards aren't well lit and the throw is great for walking and being able to see in front but not blind other drivers in the yard. This flashlight for sure would simplify flashlight needs
Awesome use case. For inspections I’d assume you’ll be on flood mode? What light do you use for inspections currently?
@@NitecoreSG Right now I'm using a combo of the Nitecore TIP which I'll clip onto my hat and use anytime I'm outside just to generally illuminate my path or the engine bay. Then carry the Sofirn IF22a to use as a thrower to point when I wanna see stuff I can't get to easily like my coupling or the brakes and suspension on the trailer.
I came so close ordering this but ended up ordering both of SRT7i and P20iX
Interesting combination... but what are the exact advantages of a system with many wide and a single thrower beam?
I was for a very long time very happy with a Ledlenser M7R X... a nice completely perfect circle of light, a tight beam or anything in between. And that in a super compact size, perfect flooder and a very good thrower (and no hassle with removing/changing batteries to charge.... magnetic adapter/charger with internal charging was THE REASON these days to get a expensive R model with the focussing option.
if i ever want both nowadays... i took both simultaniously with a proper orange peeling reflector for example. Or as alternative anything with strong turbo mode (like my Meteor M43, no range but at 7000lm Turbo you get a lot of range in short bursts)
I would use this at my job doing railway security for New Zealand rail, we occasionally get people who will try vandalize the trains or carts.
Would be a great light on the beach at night. We go 30 miles down the beach and it is really dark. Good for protection, emergencies and checking lines.
It’s a great light for people like me who usually need light to work in a wide space like stock or factories that I can control a wide range of the room or factory and doing my jobs. Hope that I’m lucky enough to win the giveaway. Love Nitecore Singapore
Great explanation of the tactical use of this light. Without your explanation, the low duration of turbo could be dismissed as the company simply chasing a high lumen count to be able to advertise. But now it makes sense. The ergos look great with the location of the controls. Also, I really like the ability to switch to flood or spot only. This looks like a great light!
Glad it helped!
TM20K has an issue Non Removable Battery if Built in battery can be serviced is still ok but if battery burns out or ends then the torch is over ?
