NICRON N9 Flashlight

Very good value. Strong build quality has a very good magnet for screws or sticking to metal. Battery last a long time the light has 4 settings Max is almost to much for most settings. Small and fits nice in the tool bag. Can swivel to 90 degree which makes it very versatile.

I saw someone at work with an N7 flashlight. I got me an N9 and I love it. I use it for visual inspections of machinery. Likes: small with adjustable brightness levels, plenty bright at night. Handy pivoting headlight, magnet base. Big plus: replaceable standard size Li-ion rechargeable battery. Just one minor nitpick: you can carry the flashlight on your belt using the belt clip. However, depending on where you clip it in your belt, the belt clip may snap out of the flashlight if you for example bend down. The flashlight may fall off without you noticing. I have done this a few times but luckily, I haven't lost the flashlight.

Good flashlight. I like the angled head and the magnetic base. It’s very bright, almost too bright, but has four brightness settings. Battery has good life. I’m a service technician and I was looking for a compact flashlight for my toolbox. I like that it’s small and lightweight. Fits in my toolbox without a lot of bulk. My only minor complaint is that the battery must be removed and charged separately. I would have liked a charge port on the flash light instead of on the battery. It’s not a deal breaker, though.

It’s bright and completely waterproof. I use it for work and I dropped it in a bucket of water while fixing some pipes under a sink and I rinsed it off and it’s like nothing happened. Shut off and turned right back on. It comes with extra seals for the battery cover. You do have to take the battery out to charge it. I’m assuming for max water resistance. Been using it for months now and it’s dropped off ladders plenty of times and not even a flicker when it drops. I got this because my other swivel light broke but I’m reality if it can pivot it can snap. This feels sturdy and not too much play. You can get 18650 batteries for this. But you have to take the battery out and plug the battery into a micro usb that’s on the side of the batt. Almost the perfect design. Has all the strobe features and you have to hold the button down for 2 seconds so it won’t just come on in your pocket. Magnet battery cover and it’s pretty strong.

NICRON N9-Battery: I love the way the 4 brightness levels are selected without going through Strobe and SOS. The swivel is something I may not use, but it works great as a straight flashlight too. The way you hold it with the thumb along where the side button is makes the swivel very solid while carrying it like a standard flashlight that doesn't have a swivel. The lowest brightness setting is great for walking at night. The highest setting is a very bright light if you ever need that. You need to remove the battery for charging. It comes with an 18650 battery with a micro USB in the side for charging and it is a little longer than a standard 18650. I have used it with a standard 18650 and it works fine also. I highly recommend this light!

The NICRON Flashlight has become a reliable companion for my camping trips and garage work. The brightness it offers is quite impressive, illuminating dark spaces effectively. What I love most is the 90-degree swivel head; it’s been invaluable when I need to direct light while keeping my hands free, especially with the added bonus of the magnetic end which I can stick to metal surfaces. The rechargeability is convenient, saving me from buying disposable batteries. While I haven’t explored all six modes, the ones I've used met my lighting needs well. This flashlight is now a must-have in my outdoor and work gear.

Great little flashlight with excellent battery life. I use it on a regular basis.

So, I finally bit the bullet and bought a flashlight which wasn't the cheapest I could find. To start with, I know to stay away from any flashlight advertised as getting 100,000 lumens. No idea why Amazon doesn't crack down on those sheisters. Is this 1,000 lumens? I really don't know, but it's definitely a lot brighter than my last flash light, advertised as 3,000 lumens but is probably 300 lumens. So, for that, it is very good. So why am I only giving this three stars, and why will I likely return it? Well, these are kind of nitpicky things that don't fit my use case. First, there is no zoom, second, the power button is hard to find and doesn't feel very accessible, which is a big downside when trying to juggle a dog leash, poop, bag, and flashlight at the same time, and three, the thing lots of people complain about, the rotating head is just way too loose. If these three things don't bother you, then I think you'll really like this little flashlight.
