The beam is powerful and the size and weight are perfect. The rotary knob for adjusting brightness is really intuitive and revolutionary. It's amazing other flashlights have not done this before. It's so much better than clicking through a few brightness levels. The dimmest setting is a little brighter than I expected, but it's fine. My only wish on this is that there was a way to widen or focus the beam a bit. Other than that, this is a great flashlight and a great value for the money.
Nicely built, but brightness does not seem 1000 lumen.
I have several lower power lights that seem as bright or even brighter than this nitecore. I love the size, and infinite brightness adjustability, but with a fully charged 18650 it is just as bright as other 500 lumen light and a 450 lumen light I have. Still nice for $40.
I like the torch a lot. I am going to the 18650 batteries for all my lights, and this one fits what I was looking for. I like the rotary switch, but I could see it being difficult with big, bulky gloves. The thinner gloves should be fine. I have way too many on/off lights with complicated sequences to get to the setting I want. Not with this one. Turn the dial and keep turning until I get what I need. Mine came with a nice nylon carry case.
This light has what I've been waiting for, it's all about the switch
So many of the Super flashlights are bright but the switches suck, you have to cycle through all the choises wasting a lot of battery power very aggravating
This one smoothly flows from very low to super bright
Just the right size
Love it !
