The Slyde King has 2 light sources, namely a single LED at the front (with a focusable lens) and a COB hidden inside the batterytube. To see, and activate the COB light, you simply pull the battery tube while holding onto the head with your other hand. Once you start pulling, the COB light will turn on. I’m not 100% sure that’s the best way to do this, because it will turn on even when the COB light is only like 5% visible. But Nebo probably has a reason for this. Since I don’t have any experience with Nebo’s lights, I’m curious to see if they can increase the heartbeat of a long-time flashlight user like myself.

Like with many zoomies, the convex lens is not protected by a flat glass lens. That would have been preferred because a convex is more likely to damage and more difficult to replace than a simple glass lens.Altgeräte enthalten häufig sensible personenbezogene Daten.

The Lowest output starts at around 190 lumens, drops to 148 lumens in 30 seconds, and 66 lumens in 1 minute. It’s interesting to note that the light drops in steps, and not gradually. That’s kind of hard to tell in this graph, because the measurements are done every 5 seconds. You’d have to look at the 10 minutes graph to see this. The runtime is supposed to be 10% of the initial 30 seconds reading, so that means about 6.6 lumens. That’s about 16 hours. At 17h06min the light finally turns off. This guide will introduce you to some of the best lights from NEBO that can help bolster your EDC kit. These compact rechargeable flashlights offer high output and many other valuable features that can make a difference when you're out and about. When the light is zoomed in (narrow spotlight) the beam becomes square-ish with rounded corners. At a close distance (1-2meters), you still see a weak ring outside the hotspot. That ring will become invisible after about 5 or 10 meters. The NEBO Slyde King 2K is the upgraded version of the popular Slyde King, which is a rechargeable multi-functional unit capable of being used as a torch or work light.

Once you've made a flashlight a part of your daily carry, you'll know how important it is to have high-quality, reliable illumination readily available for different situations. NEBO has sold over 30 million units from its line of innovative and consumer-friendly flashlights and tools in over 57 countries worldwide. Engineered in the US at their home base in Fort Worth, Texas, NEBO's lights cultivate their passion for innovative technology and creating new and exciting products for their consumers. The result is higher quality and uniquely designed flashlights that are reliable and cost-effective. There were a few very small spots on the anodization in some tiny machining marks around the light, but nothing to worry about, if you are going to use it as a work light. It’s not meant to be a shelf queen, and will also never be one. Some zoomy flashlights are push pull, but since that will activate the COB light, you need to twist the head to focus the main LED.You can see that it takes 6.5 minutes to reach 1000 lumens…. which is actually a really good performance! And 11.5 minutes to reach 500 lumens. Most flashlights drop below 1000 lumens within 3 minutes… If you calculate the loss of light, with the numbers above, you see that both the Highest output and Lowest output had a loss of 61%. This is a lot, but quite normal on focusable flashlights. Zoomed out (with the widest beam) the beam is quite uniform in the center all the way up to the edges. There’s a yellowish ring visible on the outside of the beam, just like you’d expect from a focusable flashlight.

The runtime test was done with the 50cm integrating sphere, and Extech SDL400 data logging Lux Meter. Nebo used a very strong magnet in the tailcap. This is probably the strongest magnet I have ever found on any flashlight. So that’s a good sign, especially when you consider this to be a work light. I was talking about the main tailcap, because it has 2 tailcaps. Underneath the main tailcap with magnet sits another tailcap that will give you access to the battery. This one has some traditional knurling and is only accessible when the COB light is turned off.

It doesn’t mean that I want to see this in every light.. actually not. But I can totally understand this on a work light like the 2K is advertised as.
