Shouldwork1 lumen. There is a shortcut to get to one lumen also by simply holding the power button otherwise it goes to whatever was last selected. There are 1, 15, 65, 200 and 1000 lumen settings. 1000 is only available if you hold the mode button down. There are two lock modes so you don't accidentally turn it on in a pocket.

I care. It's fine if you choose not to care, but you prolly wanna be more careful distinguishing between laziness and sensibility. I mean, does your car start with a key, or a handcrank? Does your place have a dishwasher even though it also has a sink? A microwave even though it has a stove? Do you own any electronic device with a remote control? I'm sure there's a LOT more applicable examples where that come, considering that you're here reading these words in an online gadget store. Yet you don't think these are indications of laziness so much as simple timesavers in a busy life, right? Good, because that's the point.
Where I'm coming from: I plug in my phone every day -- it takes micro USB. I plug in my iPad every day -- it takes USB C. I have to fuss with my phone, just like I have to fuss with my headset and my bluetooth speaker and anything else I have that charges on USB micro. To that point I think regular USB and micro USB are bad designs and people place a lot of unnecessary wear and tear on them trying to connect them properly. And I like USB C because I'm not screwing up the cable OR the port and I'm not wasting time, stopping whatever train of thought I had going in order to focus in on a pointless menial task. Instead I'm setting my iPad down, grabbing the cable, slotting it, and going on my way.
I suppose if there were some sort of quality difference to using a micro USB -- for instance it charged faster, or placed less wear and tear on the connection, or the like -- I'd use it by preference, for the same reason I brew coffee in a French press instead of an automatic setup, the same reason I'm willing to spend hours screwing around with a pocket knife in order to achieve a minor improvement in its function. But there is no such quality difference to the function of charging, only the difference in the amount of screwing around.
Two cents -- keep all the change. :)

Electron 'spin' is different from normal spin because while, say, a baseball only needs to 'revolve' 360 degrees to turn all the way around, it turns out that you need to 'spin' an electron a full 720 degrees before it completes a single full revolution and the bit of it that was facing you to begin with is facing you again.
This sounds freaky and hard to visualize but thankfully we have the example of USB cables as something you can try one way, then flip 180 degrees and try another way, and flip again and try again, then flip one more time and suddenly it fits into the slot, just so.

Is the lanyard loop on the bottom removable? A square flashlight that doesn't tail stand seems... dumb.

Does anybody know the maximum run time for each mode? I was looking to get a supplemental bicycle light, for when I break down, or extra coverage on dark paths.

Take note of the clear disclaimer where Drop informs customers that they are on their own after purchase, and no warranties will be honored.
It doesn't say that? Right, it didn't say that on my $40 purchase either. In fact, the listing link that describes my purchase continues to state "INCLUDED Manufacturer's warranty" (emphasis theirs!) See for yourself https://drop.com/buy/klarus-ar10
Drop support, however, continues to state "Warranties do not apply in this case. If there was a manufacturer's warranty, again, Drop would not cover this as we are not the manufacturer."
That's the 'escalated' response. Initial responses were somehow less helpful. I've made multiple purchases from Massdrop and Drop....I'll never be their best customer. Twice I needed assistance previously, and they handled it professionally and quickly and as if they cared about a customer.
Evidently, that is no longer the case, and Drop will not hesitate to throw a customer out the airlock over trivial issues.

SpecialEdIn regards to the AR10 you purchased in our warehouse sale, as I wrote previously your light is covered by Klarus's warranty. Drop does not stock replacement parts and in most cases we do not carry inventory to facilitate an exchange. Drop does accept returns directly if the issue is reported within 30 days as outlined in our policy found here: https://helpdesk.drop.com/hc/en-us/articles/360019107874-Drop-s-return-replacement-policy "Third Party Products
We only offer returns and replacement for third party items that arrive damaged, defective, not as advertised, or are missing components. These issues must be reported within 30 days of delivery. When third-party runs are completed, we submit the group's order to the vendor up front. This is how we’re able to deliver the best value to our members and is also why all sales are final. In the event that a product arrives damaged, defective, not as advertised, or missing components, please contact Drop Support."
Both Klarus and Nitecore work with us directly so a proof of purchase from Drop is valid to escalate warranty issues with the manufacturer.

kstokleyIn regards to your response, as I wrote previously your staff are the ones that need to hear from you.

"Some products purchased on Drop include a manufacturer's warranty. These products will have the warranty listed on their pages."

"After our quality department analysis your video and they confirm a replacement head part can solve the problem.
But according to your copy of purchase proof. We are not sure if it is bought from our authorized dealer."
My point remains, Drop support can be helpful, they simply choose not to, and front-line support does not make policy.
Drop is deliberately and intentionally leaving a customer to swing in the breeze.
To be clear, I have had 2 issues in the past with Drop (Massdrop) purchase, and my issues were handled quickly and efficiently by Massdrop staff, I was not (mis)quoted policy or told to find solutions elsewhere. Those experiences strengthened the relationship between customer and vendor.
This new separation, where 2 support members tell me as politely and professionally to just move along, and 1 Buying Manager is telling me all is well, and I am in fact getting the service I asked for....well, it's new, it's different, it's slow, it's aggravating, and it illuminates just how little regard Drop has for their clients.

No thanks...MADE IN CHINA.
Drop - you seem to be pushing Nitecore. Why? Make a deal with a non-Chinese company.

floidsterPretty much all of the good flashlight companies are in China. Maglite? Thats garbage compared to things like Thrunite, Armytek, Sofirn, etc.
Check on the flashlights subreddit, or BLF. Even when BLF partners with an OEM to make their incredible lights its with an OEM in China because they can do it right for the right cost.

You know it’s a funny thing I used to buy so much stuff from MassDrop but ever since they became Drop I don’t think I have made a single purchase. I wonder why that is?

Love2FishIncredibly limited offerings these days and the prices are basically what you would pay elsewhere.
(Mass)drop appears to be a good deal for international customers sometimes - depending on shipping charges.

I'm buying flashlights of one description or another all the time. Just picked up a new(er) Nitecore offering, the TM9K (freakin' UNREAL lumens ((9500!!)) from such a Tiny little Monster!), and I have at least one of all the other minis that Nitecore offers, except for the TUP. I'm not a Nitecore freak as much as I'm an impulse buyer, and I can always find a good use for a small light from the junk-drawer to the glove-box to the saddle bags to the shed, I spread 'em all over the place. I was intrigued by the TUP over the last year or two since it came out, but as I was watching the video posted in the Overview, I realized that once I get used to knowing what info is showing in the OLED screen, I probably won't need to ever look at it. It's pretty easy to know when your LED flashlight needs charging, because it won't even turn on the Turbo or High modes once it gets below a certain power-level remaining. I think the attached wire (that I actually put on) will alert me to the fact that the light is being charged. The light getting hot enough to turn itself off will tell me to anticipate it going off, and I'll probably be anticipating it before the OLED warns me of its coming, and either way, I won't be looking at the OLED when it happens in any case. If I have the light turned on to where heat will turn it off, I'm actually looking for something in the woods or someplace I need that much light to see.
Bottom line, after at least a year (probably longer) I've come to the conclusion that this light would serve no distinctive purpose for me. I'm fine with taking a chance on Nitecore products, even though the first one I had failed completely as a weapon light and never worked very well as an EDC after taking it off the weapon either. I can't think of any situation where a square-bodied, 1K light with a screen that I'd almost never look at after the novelty wore off would be the "perfect" light to have on me. Guess I'll pass on this one. Drop should take a close look at the TM9K and other of the more "conventional" LED lights Nitecore is offering these days. They are getting tons of lumens out of small bodies with big, long-lasting batteries, and while they're not exactly comparable to the TUP, they are more useful as EDC or heavy and regular-use lights for the "average" user.
