NEXTORCH P80 One-Step-Strobe Duty Flashlight - 2100 Lumens

I got the pink colored flashlight for my wife because she wanted a girly flashlight. The flashlight has an aluminum body, is solid and it looks like it could take some abuse

I own a few Nextorch flashlights, a couple of which are tactical, meaning they are suitable for mounting systems or carrying in situations. This light is not that. It is however a very solid design for a flashlight and practical everyday use at home or in the toolbox. This one i bought for my wife, getting the Anodized pink. This light also has the design of the USB charging port hid under the aperture by twisting it up. Pretty cool. It has a healthy battery included and the led itself is very bright, lighting up everything even at 100ft plus. It also has a battery level indicator which is very handy to know when it needs to find a charging cable. She keeps it in her purse and carries it everywhere now. The modes are handy especially when you don't need the power of the sun and adjusting them is simple enough through the mode switch. It's solid and very durable with a well engineered design. Overall the value is excellent fir what you get at this price.

This is a very functional light that works well and doesn’t have a bunch of useless features like turbo mode or auxiliary lights. It does seem to be designed mainly for duty use, but it’s a solid flashlight for other outdoor uses like camping or hiking. It has a really nice beam pattern that consists of a pretty intense hotspot but also creates a very usable amount of spill light, with the end result being lots of light thrown an impressive distance. Build quality is excellent, with very smooth threads at both ends, and a mechanical switch, with momentary on capability, that feels good to use. The interface is also very intuitive and doesn’t have much going on besides on/off and brightness selection, with a dedicated button for strobe. I usually don’t find strobe modes particularly useful, but it’s implemented well here with the dedicated button, and the way it strobes is intense and disorienting. For an 18650 powered flashlight, it’s a pretty large light in all dimensions; it’s larger than my 21700 powered Acebeam EC90 and considerably weightier as well. It does seem to handle heat dissipation very well, which the bigger body could help with, but it’s still a bit puzzling as the light head isn’t really oversized the way the body is. It does feel good to hold though, with nicely done knurling that adds to the grip. I also like how there’s a USB-C port built into the light body that hides under the light head. It makes it a lot more convenient to charge than having to pull the battery to charge, although it should be noted that the 18650 battery included does not have a USB-C port, so in-body charging is the only way to charge unless you have a separate battery charger. Battery life seems comparable to other 18650 powered lights, with nothing to really note as being above or below average. Overall, it’s a really solid light that produces a great beam with a good mix of brightness and distance. It feels durable, is easy to use and makes for a very functional light that’s well suited to duty or tactical use applications.

Finally, a high-end flashlight that’s not black! Don’t get me wrong, I love my collection of tacti-cool black flashlights, but there is something about this orange that makes me want to grab it before a lot of the others. Maybe it’s the fact that it coordinates perfectly with the accent color on my SUV. Maybe it’s just because it’s easier to spot in when it’s packed away in my gear bag. Either way, I really like this light. It’s built like a tank, and while it’s way too pretty to want to test this claim, I’m pretty certain I could drive over it with my Bronco and it wouldn’t be bothered at all. Light output on high is impressive, and it remains bright for a long time due to its excellent heat dissipation. I’m happy with the 18650 battery choice since I have a lot of products and batteries of that size. At $60, this is a solid value for a solid flashlight.

I love NexTorch products. They have a way of taking common every day lighting and somehow improving it for the masses. The colors of the P80 lights are plenty, which is fine I guess, but kind of silly to me. The more colors, the more extra stock you get trying to figure out the customer base. The quality feels second to none as all NexTorch stuff does. It feels well built and durable and has a good weight behind it which gives it a premium feel. It’s very portable but its size also implies it could’ve have likely benefited from a higher capacity battery. I’m mixed, this like is fairly priced, but strobe seems useless to me, and I wish the light had some level of beam manipulation. That being said it’s a solid high-quality light.

So far, I really like the NEXTORCH P80 Blue Rechargeable Flashlight. It delivers a powerful 2100 lumens of brightness, making it excellent for emergencies, outdoor use, and power outages.The build quality feels solid and it’s comfortable to hold and operate. However, I’m not sure why the strobe light feature is included. For someone like me with epilepsy, this feature is a concern because it’s too easy to accidentally activate, which can be dangerous.I wish there was a similar flashlight of this caliber without the strobe option. Because of this, I can only give it 4 stars.

I have 6 different lights from Nextorch. 2 of them are "tactical", meaning their switch is on the end, where you can intuitively find it with your thumb, without looking (those are nice).The last 3 I have - P82c, P83 and P80 (this one) are not "tactical". I would just call them a modern flashlight. Yes, there's strobe and 3 different brightness settings, yes, they're water-resistant, but switches are not easy to find without looking, unless you're already holding the light with your finger indexed on the switches. I like the orange finish, easier to find if you drop it or forget it on the ground.I was initially confused - couldn't find the USB-c charging port, but you have to unscrew the head to find it (see photo) - that's to protect the port from water. Their tactical lights use charging port on the battery itself, so once you insert and close, it's watertight. Neither design solution bothers me, you have to cover the charging port from water somehow, it just wasn't immediately obvious. No biggie.Anyway, the light is very bright and output is impressive for the size. The construction appears durable, water-tight, and solid. This is not an EDC size light, but it's about right to have in your car, to walk your dog, or to have on your night stand for a power outage.Main peeve: the main switch works as momentary - slight push without click. But when you click it, it's full bright on the down-push and then medium when you let go. I tried to capture that in the video. That's not good design, not thoughtful. The 2 tactical lights have a much better design.Overall, USB-c rechargeable flashlights are the future (well, present), so to me that's the most valuable. Can always use an extra utility light in the car or at home. Can't have too many.

Really what is going on at Nextorch? The switching “system” on this light is unnecessarily different other lights they make, and different than other standards as well. If you owned this for a month and practiced using its switch every night, I promise you would get other than you want coming out of the business end of this light -- every time.If the switch is idiotic this is not a “P” (patrol) light. A utility light can have a strange idiosyncratic switch system, as deployment/use speed is not an issue. But it is unforgivable in a patrol light, for first responders or for the average Joe, where some modicum of fast deployment, at the right light mode, is expected.And this for a “P” marketed light, which means the switch is on the side, but it has some aspects of tactical light. OK, so like a tac it is missing several features. That is understandable. But why advertise it for working on your vehicle (image showing use in “vehicle maintenance”) when it has no magnet? No magnet is fine but don’t market it for car work. Also why is there shown in listing images a white rounded diffuser dome (in not one, but in two images), which you might use for camping or reading, if Nextorch neither supplies a white diffuser round dome for this light, nor even makes nor sells the diffuser shown in the P80 advertising?Worse yet, what the heck is with the battery size? This is a large to mid-sized light but it only has an 18650 battery. A 2170, which has become industry standard, would easily fit in its dimensions and has 50% more peek amperage, and 50% more mAh. The difference in size 18mm x 65mm vs 21mm x 70mm is trivial compared to the wasted empty space inside this light. 50% more duration for a net 8% increase in weight, of light plus battery.The beam pattern is ok. It is a mixed flood and spot. Higher end lights usually have some method to choose spot emitters, or flood emitters or both. This only has a mode of both. OK. But in that case the flood should be a bit wider angle so one can see where one’s feet are approaching. The flood on this is abnormally narrow.All in all, I would avoid this light. It is poor value even at forty-eight. It is durable and has been around for some years, yet it seems this latest iteration has addressed none of the known issues, and simply “updated” it by adding colors. Form follows function in industrial design – not the other way around.

The NEXTORCH P80 is a serious piece of gear that's built like a tank.The body is dense, precise, and beautifully machined. The head, tube, threads, buttons, machining and overall assembly all communicate the same thing: this flashlight was engineered for years and years of punishment.Output is equally serious. The 2100 lumens hit with real authority, and the orange-peel reflector gives the beam strong reach with a clean, usable spread. It lights up an area with excellent clarity and an unusualy satisfying color rendering for this niche of flashlights. The beam has aggression, control, and purpose. USB-C charging is simple, the battery indicator is practical, and battery performance has been dependable so far.The build quality is the main story here. The buttons have a firm, deliberate press. The threads run smoothly. The machining is excellent, no I mind-blowing excellent. The whole flashlight carries an overbuilt, professional-grade character from end to end. Drop it, keep it in a truck, toss it into a toolbox, carry it on duty, or use it around rough work areas—the P80 gives you the confidence that it can outlive every real abuse.The UI deserves a clear explanation though because this flashlight is built around duty use. The P80 prioritizes immediate maximum output. A light press gives instant Turbo. Continue pressing and it locks into Medium. Press again and it reaches Low.For a dark bedroom, garage, hallway, or backyard, Low is not the first stop. To reach Low, you have to activate Turbo first for a split of a second, then pass through Medium. That means a blast of serious brightness before you arrive at the gentle mode. Around the house at night, that can hit your eyes hard and wipe out your night vision immediately.That control layout is deliberate. The P80 is built for situations where maximum output matters first. Security, law enforcement, roadside emergencies, and sudden threat assessment all benefit from instant Turbo access. For quiet household use at 2 AM, the UI is less convenient. For duty use, it's outstanding.Overall, the P80 is a brutally sturdy, high-output, purpose-built flashlight with excellent construction, practical charging, and a control system designed around immediate authority rather than casual low-mode convenience.

This NEXTORCH flashlight is super powerful and loaded with ingenious features. The main beam at the front has 4 modes: momentary on, mid, low, and high. It also has a separate switch for the strobe function. It is so bright that it blinded me when I accidentally looked into it. You press the button to turn it on and press again, and it cycles from low to high or vice versa. It is so easy to get to your desired light level. All of this is in a very high-quality aluminum body that will last for years and stand up to abuse. The best part is that it is rechargeable, so you no longer need to search for batteries when you need your flashlight. It charges quickly via USB-C, and the charge lasts for a long time even with the light on high (like 2 1/2+ hours, awesome!). And when you are using it for a long time on high, it doesn't get as hot as a lot do. The charging system is also very unique (see picture), you turn or unscrew the head to expose the charging slot. Very ingenious and a great way to keep dirt and debris out of it. It also has 4 LED lights to show the charge status, so no guessing how much life you have left in it. They include a wrist lanyard and a USB-C charging cable so you have everything you need right out of the box. Oh, and the rechargeable battery is removable, which is unique for a rechargeable flashlight. It is also shockproof and IPDX7 waterproof. The low price of this NEXTORCH flashlight compared to similar wattage flashlights is a great deal for all you get in this high-quality, well-constructed, and feature-packed flashlight. It is a bargain. And it is now my favorite flashlight, and I have way too many flashlights, LOL. If you're looking for a very well-made rechargeable flashlight with a ton of power and features, buy this one. You will be very happy you did, and it will become your new go-to flashlight, as well.
