The magnetic closure is a nice touch and allows for silent opening (without the ‘tearing’ sound of Velcro). If you try to reactivate it too soon then it will either only last 1 second or won’t go above 3000 lumens. CARBON CONSTRUCTION - Carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) is widely used in aerospace and automotive engineering. It sadly is not a straight line, but rather slowly falling to a 220 min point where it started to fail rapidly. International products have separate terms, are sold from abroad and may differ from local products, including fit, age ratings, and language of product, labeling or instructions.

This should cover any faults but to be honest I don’t know what would happen if the battery pack started to lose its capacity after 5 or 10 years. The power supply system of the TM20K consists of 2 batteries in the 21700 format of 4800mAh, for a total of 9600mAh, integrated and not replaceable by the user. We will collect the Import Fees Deposit at the time of your purchase and use it to cover applicable taxes and duties on import. We just needed something reliable and handy to light up the whole of the garden when taking dogs out last thing at night. For this light I miss a good low mode: even on a big light I believe a 5-lumen mode or less is a must.The NPP30 pouch perfectly fits the powerbank and any essential cables and the NU06 LE beacon light helps you stay visible in high risk ops! The 18 tiny reflectors are barely actually reflectors as the LEDs are 2 or 3mm away from each other. I am not a member of the armed forces and cannot comment on its use beyond that covered in the review. Additionally, the flashlight offers Nitecore's Strobe Ready function for fast access to the strobe mode and a power indicator built in to the power switch. Great in emergency situations to provide yourself with enough light for a longer period of time and also practical if you use the light indoors.

The light intensity in the turbo mode is overwhelming to say the least, even though it is only for a short amount of time. It is impractical and misleading to show "High brightness runtime" and saying it was shining for 200 min. To lock the light you only need to put the slide to zero, or move it to the left (the head facing down, in case it is dark out). I work security for my church and this light works well for low light needs and blinding bright for dealing with those that need to be escorted out.

Via a cut-out below the slide you will quickly know which position it is in; also on the opposite side of the mode switch you can find this type of slot that helps you find the button by feel. The tactical button always works the same way and isn’t affected by switching between daily and tactical modes – it’s only affected by lockout mode, which stops it working.

The Nitecore Tiny Monster series of flashlights are the pinnacle of the range with world leading performance and features. The (at the time) spectacular TM10K recently welcomed a big brother which, as the name already suggests, has double the amount of output. Good, because I wouldn't want to risk dropping this flashlight because of poor quality piece of cord. Something that might be a ‘pro’ for one user can be a ‘con’ for another, so the comments are categorised based on my requirements.After turning the light on you can switch between the four standard light modes via the mode button on the side. Section 3 shows what happens when you intentionally use Burst, Burst, Burst until the TM20K won’t output Turbo any more. It is one-hand operable and equipped with the built-in 21700 Li-ion batteries and a USB-C charging port.
