Hmm they say 30 minutes on turbo in this small light with a 1800lumen XHP35? Really?
The clip orientation and switch are less than impressive, in my humble opinion.
I use this exact configuration with all my Olight side switch flashlights.
For a right handle person, it’s really practical, because the clip isn’t in your palm but right between your thumb and other fingers.
However, a lefty would be annoyed as the clip will be right in his palm.
However, I’m really curious about this switch because I don’t understand how it works
I like the design, but….Have low voltage protection?, the light will be used with IMR for optimal perfomance, and I found some Nitecores without low voltage protection…Can you confirm this feature in this model?
As they use a boost driver this light really needs LVP and I bet it has it, or this would be a battery killer
the side switch looks to be easy to be pressed unwanted carrying the light in pocket or backpack
I hope the E2 flux bin is there because its a NW LED
Where did you read that it has charging?
Now you ask, I have been fooled by their marketing language :confounded: , it says “integrated power circuit”, which I interpreted as charging circuit but I guess instead it means nothing at all, it is just language :weary:
It would have been neat though…
I was trying to figure that out myself :laughing: Thought maybe under the switch or something.
Quite a sleek light, I like it, but that clip… and that switch… What’s with the visible star screw right there :person_facepalming:
I guess I would have to mod it 
It’s just concept, right :lol:
they dont invest time to build a XHP35 light and then dont sell it
We wil likely see more good XHP35/50 lights from the big brands
I follow Nitecore on Facebook and they used this link for the sale.
Apparently 26 left from this link? It looks to be official Nitecore store?

Maybe this is just a pre-run and they will sell more later.

Well… actually the “good old” EC2 is 10mm shorter than this with 9200 cd.
I caught that too. There is an asterisk next to it and it says that the runtimes are “theoretical”. :person_facepalming:
theoretical means in ice water like 20 mins then ramp down to 10% last 10 mins
“Theoretical arithmetic”… WTH is that supposed to mean? You take the battery capacity and divide by tail cap amps? Can’t they just do a runtime test? This light has impressive specs in a tiny package, but i hate it when manufacturers put up numbers out of the blue like that. Same thing with the “300h runtime”… you have to read through to understand it is at 1 lumen.
BTW: we need a BLF boost driver to deal with all those 6V and 12V emitters… I’d love to see a XHP50 inside a BLF A6 for $30.
This item has an irresistible size/power ratio in its size classification. Most power for size. For me, that alone is a show starter.
I can always run any light at medium mode for medium heat generation and medium run time. How exciting can that be? I am getting more and more excited about this item, just as I am typing this post.
Per NITECORE Concept 1 1800 Lumen EDC Flashlight lists this at a pre-order price of $64.95 (same as the P30). I don’t have any experience ordering from this site though. They are the authorized US distro. Hope this helps! I am curious about this light as well, hope to see a video review soon.
Great looking light except for that funky clip location. What are they thinking?

I AM interested, although I just built two Eagle Eye X6’s yesterday that each do 1900 lumens.
Still, the style of this, some of it’s virtue’s, catches my attention. Please keep me in the loop …
Thank You!
