nitecore concept 1

I use this exact configuration with all my Olight side switch flashlights.
For a right handle person, itā€™s really practical, because the clip isnā€™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, Iā€™m really curious about this switch because I donā€™t understand how it works

I like the design, butā€¦.Have low voltage protection?, the light will be used with IMR for optimal perfomance, and I found some Nitecores without low voltage protectionā€¦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 ā€œintegrated power circuitā€, 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 thoughā€¦

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 clipā€¦ and that switchā€¦ Whatā€™s with the visible star screw right there :person_facepalming:
I guess I would have to mod it :smiley:

Itā€™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.

Wellā€¦ actually the ā€œgood oldā€ 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 ā€œtheoreticalā€. :person_facepalming:

theoretical means in ice water like 20 mins then ramp down to 10% last 10 mins

ā€œTheoretical arithmeticā€ā€¦ WTH is that supposed to mean? You take the battery capacity and divide by tail cap amps? Canā€™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 ā€œ300h runtimeā€ā€¦ 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 emittersā€¦ Iā€™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 donā€™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 X6ā€™s yesterday that each do 1900 lumens.

Still, the style of this, some of itā€™s virtueā€™s, catches my attention. Please keep me in the loop ā€¦

Thank You!

Rather than doing a 30min test on turbo, they do a longer test on a lower power setting, find how many amps it draws, then by measuring the amps at turbo you can just calculate how long it would last on turbo.
A/B = C/D
Itā€™s not hard, just elementary school math.
Itā€™s theoretical because on those high powers the runtime can vary a lot depending on ambient temperature, airflow, and other stuff that would affect the battery and driver current delivery.

Banggood listed it, the price is not that bad
