Nitecore® has added another handheld flashlight to its lineup — the P40. Its parameters stand out from many of its competitors. The new model combines traditional LEDs with an LEP emitter, providing versatility and the ability to reach places where standard tactical flashlights cannot.
Nitecore® P40 measures 186 mm in length. The tube has a diameter of 37 mm, and the head is a whopping 67 mm wide. The entire unit weighs 316 g without a battery. The product was designed with both law enforcement and civilian users in mind. Thanks to the use of five LEDs with a wide beam angle, generating up to approximately 800 lumens in HIGH mode, the flashlight can effectively illuminate the path during mountain hikes, or be used in the workshop or at home. However, its true potential is revealed only in TURBO mode, where white light generated by Laser Excited Phosphor technology is added. The total luminous flux then reaches 2000 lumens.
Although this number is no longer impressive today, it's worth remembering that a characteristic feature of LEP flashlights is the ability to produce an extremely focused beam of light with very high luminous intensity. This translates into an impressive lighting range, useful for searches or long-range night shooting.
The same is true for the Nitecore® P40 model, which luminous intensity in the highest mode reaches a whopping 2,130,800 candelas. According to ANSI FL1 standards, this provides a range of approximately 2900 meters.
This new product from Nitecore® is also equipped with a number of modern solutions and features. It is controlled via three buttons, the light intensity can be adjusted manually or automatically, and the included 21700 type power cell with a capacity of 5500 mAh can be charged via the flashlight's built-in USB-C port. There's also a battery level indicator.
The Nitecore® P40 is IP68 waterproof. A high-quality aluminum alloy and protective coatings on the optics protect the product from scratches and the effects of accidental drops. The flashlight is priced at nearly $340, and the set includes, among other things, charging cable and holster.
