Best EDC Light Nitecore D10

[thekapow]

dude.. its the other way around.. this light doese not eat alkalines due to the slow drain, that can make alkalines leak and ruin your light..

[mattlundervold]

Where can I even get this light? I cant seem to even find it on the web at all....

[tecnolover2642]

Why is this the best EDC light?? Even being 2 years old I don't see why it's the best EDC light. It doesn't even have a pocket clip??? no, flood to throw ?? no, candlestick top?? no reinforced lens rim?? even for 2009 this had to only be a mediocre light at best.

[thekapow]

@tecnolover2642 ofc it is a matter of taste.. but the size, weight and ergonomics are almost perfect.. also the PD switch is one of the most reliable ways of turning on a flashlight compared to clickies that then to fail

[ltm7575]

no pocket clip?



[thekapow]

@ltm7575 you can choose to mount the clip or not..

[BBrolegend]

These aren't good for emergency lights. Because of the electric switch it has a constant drain, after about a year it'll be completely drained...

[thekapow]

@BBrolegend not correct.. 3 years..

[MrFerretlover]

lol i dont want hert anyone

[windflags]

got a box of 123's in the truck and a box in house, 10 year shelf life. and Walmart open 24/7

[MountainPsy]

Cool review. The magnifying glass works very well too.

[MrTogusa]

if your close enough to worry about the noise of a clicky switch ,would it not be best to keep yourself UNiluminated;fail

[TokyozzFinest]

ui too confusing!!!!!!!

[tonystewartdalejr]

how much did it cost

[Lemuq]

Why would you say that NiMH-rechargable batteries aren't recommended? Would be the other way around, that they ARE recommended. You will never get the best performance in the light with alkalines, they can't take the load. Use alkalines in emergency. If you want your light to be even brighter, use 14500. The light is build to be used with both chemistries(li-ion 14500s and regular NiMH rechargables).

[ajD4bmw]

This light is not the D10 SP correct? Do you know if the d10 tribute edition has the same anodized finish as the D10 you reviewed in this video? I dont like the black of the EZAA, but the D10 has an awesome brownish finish. Thanks, awesome light.

[blackroses4her]

Actually, they don't recommend using them, but nickel metal hydride batteries work perfectly fine in the D10. The problem is that they don't interface well with the computer regulator so you will see minor dimming as the battery depletes.

[ZeroToleranceKnives]

This flashlight confuses the fuck out of me.

[mcobb33070]

how did you take that lanyard out of the bag so fast

[Adrianyoungxx]

Guys, I have to be honest. The paracord lanyard Nitecore flashlights come with feels like junk, it does have 7 strands though when you split it.

[leeindy]

in mommentary mode if you press and hold will it change settings or start ramping or does it lock in the setting you were on?

[Adrianyoungxx]

No, it's pretty simple. Press and hold in Momentary for momentary on. Now, when you have the piston depressed, quick tap twice and let go for lowest, tap twice and hold for maximum. It's just the same, easy and simple system

[oTHEBLESSEDHELLRIDEo]

You can use rechargeables with this light!

[managarm1349]

great review duuude, i love the light

[owczarekn]

only surfire or jetbeam

[martinaee]

My favorite 1AA light is the Fenix L1T v.2. I love how simple it is. Low is 16 lumens and high is around 100.

[vectraB97]

what lux does it have at 1m? I am looking for a 1AA light that can throw 4000lux or more.. led lenser t5/p5 and m5 does that i hear..

demissie101:

Thank you, really great informative video!

Question. Suppose the flashlight is initially at minimum and then I ramp it up to, say, 40%.

And suppose I then use the flashlight for a few minutes at that setting and now I want to use the flashlight at 20% for awhile. In that scenario, what's the most efficient way and least tedious way to accomplish this ? I don't have to first ramp up from 40% to 100% before being able to ramp down to 20%, do I ?

[deusness]

double tap to bring it back to minimum then ramp up to 20%.

[sebs30v]

I e-mailed 4sevens and they said the Nitecore D10 CAN use NiMH batteries. Is there a reason why you stated not to use NiMH batteries?

[CSAMSA]

Well, I was interested on the Led Lenser P5, but then I noticed the NiteCore D10 R2 and.. it's so much nicer than the Led Lenser P5.

The only inconvenient from the NiteCore is that it doesn't have any focus method.. that's way too bad :( otherwise she would definitely the best flashlight on market from its price..

Although, I'll consider it to buy..

[FutureNcSWAT]

great video, I am definitely going to get this knife!

[oTHEBLESSEDHELLRIDEo]

LOL FAIL!

[FutureNcSWAT]

You got me...........that was dumb...........

[oTHEBLESSEDHELLRIDEo]

Knifes on the brain is always a good thing!

[PinnacleFlashlights]

Great review and explanation of the UI which can be difficult to learn at first!

[leestephenj]

Nice review. You can also ramp up and skip in momentary mode. Very intelligent light.

[MojaveMoon07]

Hi, in momentary mode what do you mean when you say that the user can skip ?

[powderkid]

good review, but i really laughed at the "special forces, etc" part.

[jedininjapirate713]

great light but the rings/halos drive me nuts

[manoman0]

lol me too

[mykhal]

Nice review.

You say that they don't not want us to use rechargable batteries.. :) I'm, not sure who it is, but using rechargable NiMH or Li-ion (14500) batteries is no problem.

[MardukeCPF]

Indeed. NOWHERE does it say NiMH are not able to be used. They are in fact a preferred power source.

[duanemyers]

Hey Matthew,

Great light and great review!

Thanks for the info!

5 STARS

[holdenccc]

Tht's a great torch.

I like better Fenix PD20, it's smaler and brighter, that's my EDC.

I don't think Cr123 are dangerous even if they store more power.

[BRITsniperOPS06]

Thats a great looking flashlight, great review the second flashlight looks great to they both look well made,keep sending out the great reviews 5***** stay safe 111PARA[+]

[oneinter]

I have the GD+ version pretty awesome light.

[cutlerylover]

Hey, Im glad your enjoying your new light, enjoyed the trade, although I do miss the light now, hahaha, Ill have to replace it eventually...Isnt it funny how once you carrya new itemk you find good uses for it, before I found CPF, I never carried a flashlight, but once I started to I found I would be lost without it, strange huh...

[Roger1379]
