Nitecore P10i Rechargeable LED Torch

The Nitecore P10i is a high performance rechargeable torch with a maximum output of 1800 lumens from a Luminus SST-40-W LED.

Designed for tactical applications, the P10i features the upgraded 2nd generation Strobe Ready™ dual button interface, that has a strobe ready pedal design inset into the tail cap more to prevent accidental activation, while still enabling fast and easy access to the strobe in any mode even when wearing gloves, making it a perfect tactical torch with true single handed operation.

In addition to those features, the P10i is also a rechargeable unit that uses a USB type C charging port for faster and efficient charging. The included Nitecore NL2140i battery is a patented i series battery that has a high discharge current of 8 A in order to be able to access the high output of the P10i, and a regular 21700 mAh battery is not compatible with the P10i because of this.

Two CR123A lithium metal non-rechargeable batteries or two RCR123A lithium-ion rechargeable batteries can also be used in the torch with the included CR123A carrier, however these cannot be recharged inside the torch and only a maximum output of 1100 lumens is possible. Never attempt to charge CR123A lithium metal batteries.

With the included NL2140i battery inserted into the torch, ensure that the head and tail cap are tightly screwed on before lifting the dust cover to reveal the Type C USB port, that is located on the head of the torch. Plug the included cable into the USB Type C charging port, and the USB-A end into a suitable USB power source.

The blue charging indicator light will slowly flash while charging is in progress and turn solid blue when charging is complete. A full charge takes approximately 3 hours, 45 minutes when charging the included battery with a 5 V, 2 A output. The indicator will also show the remaining battery voltage when disconnected from charging or when the battery is first inserted with a series of flashes. For example if the voltage is 4.2 V it will flash four times, pause and flash twice more.

Three brightness levels and strobe are available and are operated with the circular power button and Strobe Ready mode pedal button on the tail of the torch. Fully press the power button to turn the torch on/off, or half press the button for momentary illumination until the button is released. With the light off the strobe can be instantly accessed for momentary operation by holding down the Strobe Ready™ mode button and will turn off when the button is released.

The P10i will always turn on in high and a single press of the mode button will cycle through high, mid and low. With the light turned on strobe can be constantly accessed with a long press of the mode button and a short press will return to the previous brightness level, or the torch can be turned off with the power button.

The included NTH10 tactical holster is made from sturdy plastic that keeps the torch in place and allows for immediate quick draw when required without having to lift a flap up first, and provides a convenient way for carrying your torch as it has an adjustable stopper on the clip making it compatible with belts between 1.25 and 2.25 inches, in 0.25 inch increments. Also included is a stainless pocket clip for easy attachment to a pocket, back pack or molle vest.

The integrated advance temperature regulation (ATR) technology regulates the output of the P10i according to the working condition and ambient environment to maintain the optimal performance.
