NITECORE Concept 1 Flashlight

NITECORE is continuing to push the boundaries with the NITECORE Concept 1, the first release in the new Concept Series. Featuring a premium CREE XHP35 HD E2 LED for a super bright 1800 lumens max output, the C1 is easily the top of its size class. A conveniently located single side switch control lets users adjust through 5 brightness settings and two selectable operating modes give a choice between direct access to Turbo or Strobe.

Operating on 1x IMR18650 battery (recommended) or 2x CR123A batteries, the C1 offers up to 300 hours of runtime on low and up to 30 minutes on Turbo. The compact 4.39" body tube weighs under 3 ounces without a battery making this flashlight perfect for everyday carry, travel and emergency backup.

Battery Note

The Concept 1 supports multiple battery options including button top & flat top IMR 18650 batteries. For optimal performance and to enable the full 1800 lumen output, we recommend using the NITECORE NL1835HP battery provided in the drop down option above (or here) which has a built-in protection circuit and an 8A output. The light will shut off at the maximum setting when using 2xCR123A or an 18650 battery with lower than 8A output.

5 of 5 Concept 1Con February 3, 2020
Reviewer: Mark from Houston, Texas  
I have had this Concept 1 for over a year and it overall is a reliable great small light with a lot of illumination punch.   Of a caution note,  it will burn a hole right through your pocket if accidently turned on!

2 of 5 nice size, good light, electronic unreliable December 20, 2018
Reviewer: Paul papaulu from Florence, OR United States  
I like the light.  Very compact with good throw of light.  A couple if things I do not like.

When I switch to tactical mode, the light will sometimes stop working entirely.  Even if I switch back to general mode or take out and re-install the battery, it doesn't work.   The only way I have been able to fix this is to put is a different battery.  What is weird is that if I charge the original battery, even a few minutes, and put it back in the light, the light starts working again.  

My concern that if the light craps out when i am out in the woods, that is not acceptable.

I have had issues in the past on two other NC lights with their electronics, but not right out of the box like this one.

The other thing to be aware of is you need to unscrew the cap a bit  or it will turn on in pocket or bag.  I often do not have a free hand when I put the light away so makes it difficult to manage.

5 of 5 Love this light. October 10, 2018
Reviewer: Mark from Midwest  
It's more compact than I realized when looking at the pictures. Fits in a pocket nicely. Great beam intensity and so powerful for its size.

Reviewer: Dj from NY  
Brilliant design and engineering!  Performance is well above what one might expect from similar sized lights.  Operation is easy and instructions are detailed and well written/displayed.  Just perfect, just Notecore!
