Exactly what I needed !!

I have been buying  Olight for the last few years, and I finally jumped to Nightcore... This thing is truly amazing, I can see for Miles, here in the plains of Texas, looking for coyotes and all kinds of animals in the trees, this is it !!! boys this is it, I bet I have spent thousands of dollars on flashlights, I'll get out there and they let me down, the the power bar is in the red after about 30 minutes of use, but not this one, no boy

Powerful hand held flashlight

To be honest for a long time I have always wanted the TM28. But the price was always so high and it never really justify me to spend that much but I've always wanted one and when I saw that they had a flash sale 25% off oh I jumped on that really fast no hesitation.

Nitecore TM28: still a beast in 2023

The candela, lumen, and throw specifications of the TM28 won't garner much attention in 2023, but don't let that deter you. It's plenty fine. The numerous redeeming qualities of this beast will probably tip the scales in your favour. They include: - 4 x user-replaceable batteries and the flexibility to utilise IMR button or flat-top 18650s thanks to the included adapter - 4 x CREE XHP35 HI LEDs - good balance of throw and flood - industrial build quality - practical OLED display - coat pocketable I have been eyeing this flashlight for a while and finally decided to purchase it thanks to the recent Memorial Day sale. The TM28 is one flashlight I now carry with confidence on my night walks with my dog, and I look forward to using it for many years.

Grail list item

This has been on my bucket list for years. The flashlight is a bit smaller than I expected but in a good way.  It looks and feels futuristic.  It reminds me of something you might see Ripley using on the Nostromo (Alien 79). The anodization is nice and smooth. Love the OLED and tripod mount. Everything about this light is awesome except one thing.  The little charging port cover sticks out in such a way that when my thumb is on the button(s), my forefinger rubs against it and it just feels like something that should not be there. It is not terrible but more of a slight annoyance.  I think I will take a pair of fingernail clippers and snip off the tip to make it flush.This is is a BEAST and it definitely lives up to the hype.  Sure, there are other flashlights putting out way more lumens for less money but there is only one Tiny Monster worth every dime. Great job Nitecore!

Easy to order...but documentation lacks so much

Buying this light was the easy part. When I opened it, I discovered very little in the way of documentation about the contents of the box. For example when I first plugged it in to charge the light, a message popped up in the light's display panel saying ERROR. The minuscule pamphlet printed in microscopically small lettering said NOTHING about this ERROR message and NOTHING about the O-ring and the tiny wire that came with the light. I'm going to have to call Nitecore about this.

So far it is as they say. If it stays trust worthy as nitecore products generally are , I will be completely satisfied.

Great little light can be used on low to medium most of the time and nice to have 6000 lumens when needed.

tm28 lite

Very bright.  Instructionsheet leaves a lot to be desired.  Switch button is a bit oversensative for the lower levels of brightness.  Don't laugh.  I could not figure out how to put the lanard on without asking google.  For the price, i thought i would get the battery pack. And four separate batteries.  Only got the pacl.  I like the lite.

Could use a bit more throw. For all that power. And the interface would be so much better if it was like the MH41. Still one best flashlights you make. Love that one touch low one touch high. Or able to step up or down with out having to go though low, med, high.

Fantastic Flashlight

I own or have given as gifts more than a few Nitecore, including Tiny Monsters.  This is the best of the best. It is small enough, with low enough lumen to be household and daily use.  Yet, its tactical aspect will protect against intruder or wildlife as a "wall of light" protection.  It is great for any use that might come your way due to its versatility.  It is well made easy interface and should the need ever arise, be a broad and far reaching search light.  My only wish would be that a small diffuser cap be made to fit it like a pattern.  With its extreme longevity of hours at low level, it would be great for camping just as it is when the power goes out in a storm.  If I could only have one light and use it for everything, it would be the TM 28.

Great service great light

A very fast response for ever question asked and yes before I spent that kind of money on a flashlight I did ask a LOT of questions and they answered all of them no matter how trivial they were. The lights quality is amazing! I'm very happy!
