    After owning a Nitecore Tube and Nitecore TIP 2017,
    I have had this Nitecore TIP SE for a few months now, and it's a pretty good torch.

    The only issue I have (coming from the TIP 2017), is the way the buttons are 'programmed'.
    I don't like it, but I like having 700-lumens in my pocket.

    • Lionheart on 07/11/2020 - 00:48

      I have one already and I think the UI is great, what don't you like about it?

      • whyisave on 07/11/2020 - 01:02
        +1

        i don't like the 2 x modes, e.g. DEMO, etc.

        i cannot lock the torch buttons, like the older TIP models.

        however, the new UI means i can have a short-cut to the brightest mode.

        • Lionheart on 07/11/2020 - 01:26

          The mode is set and forget. Agree with the lockout, however I always leave in lowest mode in case of accidental activation (hasn't happened since I had the light) and this one isn't "hold for turbo" UI which the last one had, which is great

        • Kangal on 07/11/2020 - 11:18

          @whyisave
          I'm getting USD $30 for Graysons model. Is the promo over?

          • Kangal on 08/11/2020 - 21:36
            +1

            @Kangal: Update: Back in stock / flash sale. Managed to get one for AUD $24.

            • whyisave on 09/11/2020 - 01:05

              @Kangal: how come so cheap ?
              surely, that's USD 24…

              i'm seeing US$ 19.95 for the torches now (and then there's GST and shipping).

        • uetecu on 07/11/2020 - 22:21

          Locking out is super important as a daily carry. I’ve burnt holes in a few of my pants with accidental activations from these series.

          Other than that they are an awesome little torch.

          Haven’t had any issues with the TIP 2 which I highly recommend.

          • whyisave on 09/11/2020 - 15:30

            @uetecu: I totally agree with the 'locking' ability,
            and I really miss this feature in the newer TIP and the TIP SE,
            but I see why they've put in these modes,
            because they limit the light staying on more than 30-seconds.

            I don't like it, and the buyer should have the choice to lock,
            but I don't know what the 'programming complexity' is, not to do this.

    • Pixie13 on 07/11/2020 - 08:09

      I own the 2017 version also. I have wanted to buy another (great for the moonlight mode for navigation around the house at night). Is this thing much better in general?

      • Skinnerr on 07/11/2020 - 10:16

        better

        Better is relative. It's different. Different led emitters (also one more), brighter, more powerful - but that also means it can discharge faster.

        I have both. I keep the old model on my keys now as a beater but it still goes strong. The new model is low key a beast of a light. For $32~ it's a bargain imo (paid about 36~).

        • whyisave on 09/11/2020 - 01:00

          Same. I paid AU$ 36+ , a few months ago.

    This or the old Blitzwolf torch
    https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/405207

    • Lionheart on 07/11/2020 - 00:49

      That's far from a key ring torch

    • whyisave on 07/11/2020 - 01:01

      Blitzwolf torch is still bulkier and not pocketable like a "key ring"

  • kehuehue on 07/11/2020 - 01:11

    Have the Tube 45 purchased in 2018, still going strong. love it.

    edit: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/362049

    • Skinnerr on 07/11/2020 - 11:07

      For reference this torch is 15x more powerful.

      • kehuehue on 07/11/2020 - 13:40
        +2

        700 lumens is enough to temporarily blind someone, doubles as self-defense tool lol

        • Skinnerr on 07/11/2020 - 14:22

          Yep, would need to be right up close though I'd reckon. Check out the Klarus XT12GT with tactical switch for a long range effective blinding torch. It's awesome!

  • compound on 07/11/2020 - 01:16

    Where is it made in?

    • Szemen on 07/11/2020 - 10:17

      I'm pretty certain it's made in China. Someone with one can confirm?

      • expatOz on 07/11/2020 - 10:43

        Hmm .. no thanks. Now there’s a clear reason to boycott chinese goods.

        Before negging read the news or start here if you live under a rock: https://www.google.com.au/amp/s/amp.abc.net.au/article/12857…

          Lol. Random fact I pulled out of my ass but something like 90% of all torches are made in China. Some specialised ones are made in USA and Europe too.

          Good luck getting one that's not made in China.

          • expatOz on 07/11/2020 - 11:25
            +3

            @Skinnerr: Well pretty much everything is made in china I agree but I'd like to do my bit when and where I can.

            • Skinnerr on 07/11/2020 - 11:51

              @expatOz: That's short-sighted, literally. What are you going to do when you need light in the dark outside?

              I'm no CCP fan but pick your battles mate.

              • expatOz on 07/11/2020 - 12:27
                +2

                @Skinnerr: This is something I can do without cause I most likely won't be in the dark outside and absolutely need this torch, pretty sure there would be alternatives.

                So when I can avoid a chinese purchase, I will.

                  @expatOz: If we all make a conscious effort to support non Chinese products, more stuff will be made elsewhere. Yeah, it's gonna cost more which goes against the ozbargain philosophy but it's worth it to be less dependent on those bastards in the long term.

  • roastchook on 07/11/2020 - 02:44

    Had an older model tip for at least five years. Super solid and reliable. Hightly recommend.

  • Kawaii on 07/11/2020 - 03:32

    I wouldn’t buy coz it’s built in battery

    • Skinnerr on 07/11/2020 - 11:00
      +1

      It's a proprietary battery made for this light. It's definitely a pro.

      • Kawaii on 07/11/2020 - 11:24

        Can you replace the battery?

        • Skinnerr on 07/11/2020 - 11:47

          It's possible, yes.

        • uetecu on 07/11/2020 - 22:25

          Never need to. Lasts for years.

          When it does die you’ll want the new model 😉

  • ASA on 07/11/2020 - 08:00

    Thanks, OP. Nabbed one :)

    Thinking wether to get this or a Rovyvon A5x

    • Skinnerr on 07/11/2020 - 11:48

      Rovyvon are a cut above imo. Great lights.

    • ShipShapeRC on 08/11/2020 - 11:33

      If Aliex is anything to go by they are getting back closer to normal, however AusPost isnt, so a month or so to get to Australia and a month to get move within AU.

  • ccrap on 07/11/2020 - 10:28

    Is this deal for the whole torch or just the tip?

    • haz on 07/11/2020 - 11:27

      The name of the torch is actually called tip.

  • Snoorlax95 on 07/11/2020 - 11:23

    Ozbargained? :(

    • haz on 07/11/2020 - 11:28

        Actually looks like both colours on sale through the app. Just got 2 in grey

  • Issun on 07/11/2020 - 11:37

    Just got scammed with this, made the payment just as the deal ended and got charged about 50AUD, just working it out with support now, they can't refund the difference but will just cancel the order and refund the entire payment. A shame, wanted the flashlight :(

    • Snoorlax95 on 07/11/2020 - 11:47

      I just got it from the app both colours in sale and even cheaper. Try the app?

        Was just about to make an edit saying I saw your comment and I just picked one up through the app, thanks! And for anyone interested the order cancellation went fine, the support was quite nice.

        Though the app was $1 USD more expensive I think haha

      • LowRange on 07/11/2020 - 13:08

        Awesome thank you, managed to get one through the app. Been hanging for this torch since release, and almost curled up in the fetal position and started rocking when i saw the deal had ended. :)

  • Cleremy on 07/11/2020 - 11:44

    Looks like the Flash sale has ended.

    • cheongk on 07/11/2020 - 12:01

      You can still get it from the app. Same price for both black and grey versions.

      • ozturtle on 07/11/2020 - 14:28

        This! Thanks!

        Deal should be marked App Only

    "Which nitecore do you have?"

    "Just the Tip"

      Check out rovyvon. I've been very happy with their keychain lights.

      • yv3s on 08/11/2020 - 12:31

        Thanks! The Rovyvon A5 is on sale in the Gearbest app as well (20 USD with shipping and GST). There is a new version but for the price, I took one.

    • Perrino on 07/11/2020 - 15:40

      Absolutely agree with the other comment. Rovyvon is amazing, I have the a25 (glow shell with the uv) and I use it all the time, having the ability to charge the glow shell with the uv light for a few minutes and it lasting all night and have 1000 lumens at the touch of a button is amazing.

      • Djent on 07/11/2020 - 18:11

        Thanks guys, will check Rovyvon out :)

  • kehuehue on 28/11/2020 - 21:17

    Just got notification that Gearbest sent one out lol so late

  • Zegga on 02/12/2020 - 11:35

    Mine still hasn't been sent yet.
