I do like the Concept 1. The UI is decent. It feels good in the pocket and it feels good in the hand.
It’s a good light. But to be a great light, Nitecore needs to redesign the switch.
I see that the topic title shows “Updated” in red in the sub-forum topic listing. I see that means that the first post was edited, in this case, to add extra information.
Thank you again for your very detailed review.
By the way, GG has recently, in the past few hours, added this item to their list of new items.
Here is a concept 1 beamshot on high.
Hello
I got this light today and i dont like it !!!
Side button too easy to accidentally turn on
Heat too much and stepdown…
I prefer a S2+ and its 1\4 the price or this nitecore
Hello,
Is it normal for this torch to have a really small purple dot in the middle of the beam? I order the klarus xt2cr and it has the same thing, that coloured dot in the middle of the beam. Or does gearbest keep sending me defective lights?
Thank you
It is viable when you shine at short distance
Because the xhp35 is quad-core led, that’s a problem of all quad-core leds
Yep, purple dot, check…
Got one in today, ordered recently, coupon made it affordable (enough).
It’s a nice little thing, i like it.
Want to put in a XHP35 HI 80CRI (more throw), but didn’t realise the bezel is glued.
I’ll get it open with some heat, i hope…
If not, i might put a mild diffuser on the lens (less throw)
Once you have your ‘normal mode’ level selected it’s quite a usable UI i.m.o.
I like the momentary ‘turbo’ function.
Recently put in a 80CRI XHP35 HI it’s a 3A or 3D tint i think.
Had to make a tool to unscrew the bezel, but that went allright.
Has more throw and less tint shift now, but in stead of the purple hole it has a (less noticeable) small more yellow dot on a white wall.
It has cost me some lumens of course, but it’s still a very bright light.
The switch has been addressed too.
Quite simple solution, i put a (light grey) silicone rubber ring around the switch thingy:
No more accidental turning on.
That switch lever is great in the dark b.t.w.
You immediately find where to press.
