Men’s Gear Awards: Best Tactical Flashlight Brands Of 2019

Nitecore

If you’ve ever owned a Nitecore Flashlight, you know why we added them to our list of the best tactical flashlight brands. They are simply one of the best you’ll ever find, and this isn’t an exaggeration.

Everyone who knows the world of tactical gear knows Nitecore are serious contenders for the best flashlight makers.

This is for good reason. Nitecore reminds us of Streamlight, due to their set-up. Like them, their website is more about informing you about their product rather than telling you about their prices.

There are just so many that is can be a bit jarring, but this is kind of a good thing.

They are not specifically made for the likes of law enforcement like Streamlight often tends to be. Nitecore is also heavily influenced by their testing and actually puts testing in the hands of people like those who know the world well.

There are pros and cons to every single flashlight in existence, which should be heavily noted here. However, Nitecore actually seems to love getting both about their product from the likes of us, the media.

The reason? This testing helps them better their products overall, even if that means removing a certain type from their line to make sure it’s perfect.

This means you are not just getting testers that work with Nitecore only. Rather, you’re getting people in the real world that are putting these flashlights to the test.

Nitecore’s Proper Testing Led To Better Lights And Inventive Results

They make lights for just about everything. We always feel that great tactical flashlight brands must evolve with the times. Not only do their flashlights need to be made for certain activities, but those lights have to adjust to the very things those activities require from a flashlight.

Nitecore has headlamp lights, for example, that are made specifically for fields like cave exploration, climbing, etc. They have to be perfectly organized, of course, for this particular field.

That is not where their organized tactical flashlights end. They make your standard lights to have around the home for storms, of course. However, they have specific lines dedicated to exploration, as well as lights dedicated to search and rescue.

They also have a tremendous “Tiny Monster” series that combines lights to make a really cool, revolutionary flashlight.

One of them stacks 4 beams in one, offering 6,000 Lumen strength lighting. It seems insane, right? It isn’t, but whoever thought it up must be a genius if you’re asking us.

Another we absolutely love about Nitecore is that they sell their batteries separately as well as together. Many flashlights come with batteries when you buy them. However, places like Nitecore make specific types of flashlights that require batteries you won’t find at your regular, run of the mill store.

This is why they sell them separately so you won’t have to buy a brand new flashlight to get new batteries. Under this as well, they have power banks/chargers that are used to power other things too. This will allow you to charge a cell phone, computer, and much more.

They even sell lasers, the types that can be really annoying at theaters as well as those you can use on a gun to help aim a shot better. Seriously, this is flipping awesome!

Overall, there is nothing but impressive material here at Nitecore. Their prices vary, but most of their flashlights are under $200. This, of course, does not include any accessories or extra batteries you may want to buy along with it.
