Well, well, well. That didn't take long, did it? The E4k didn't last too long. It sparked that Nitecore bug inside me and the flood gates opened. I kinda knew that the Nitecore E4k would not be the last Flashlight. I missed my original P10 far too much for it not to be a light I had to pick up after its upgrade was released. Year after year no light did what the P10 did for me. The strobe ready feature was just unreplaceable in my opinion. And the E4k, for all that it did well, just didn't have the same feel as the thumb controls and instant ability to blast Strobe of Turbo lumens instantly.
I get that not all lights are equal or made for the same purpose and therefore can never be perfect for everyone but this light is just about as perfect as I can ask for at this time. It has 4000 Lumens, instant strobe, momentary powering, Low lumens for late-night movements, the size and ability to tail stand with the belt holster, and USB C charging. The only thing that this doesn't have is the ability to blast long distances like the previous P10. This particular one is a floodlight and I picked that over the distance as it provides more area of coverage for situations that are immediately a threat or a point of concern. A long-distance beam only highlights a specific spot...nothing around you. So while it's a cooler thing to show how far your light shines, whatever threat it discovers would be too far out to be one past 150 meters. And this light hits at158 meters and lights up the whole area around you, showing all immediate dangers or concerns.
And so with this, I have a new EDC lineup in place. I have my trusty Sage 5, my Moondrop Blessing 2 dusk, my Samsung Fold, My Kindle Oasis, my Sig Sp2022, and now my P10ix as my daily partners for the life outside my house. From bad guys to boring situations, I have something to cover my attention or needs for the moment. Am I done? Of course not:) .You know me. There is no such thing as done. In fact, the only untouchable items are my Sig 2022 and my Moondrop Blessing 2 Dusk. Everything else is open for what comes next and better. For you, it may be different and that is the beauty of it all.
