About this deal

The Highest output doesn’t drop as fast as you’d think. It takes almost 15 minutes to drop from about 2000 lumens down to 295 lumens. Yes, that’s low. At 2h14min it reaches 180 lumens (which is considered the end of the runtime as per ANSI 1FL standards). But the light continues to drop output and finally turns off after 3h14min. Battery was down to 2.7V. If you calculate the loss of light, with the numbers above, you see that both the Highest output and Lowest output had a loss of 61%. This is a lot, but quite normal on focusable flashlights. Nebo used a very strong magnet in the tailcap. This is probably the strongest magnet I have ever found on any flashlight. So that’s a good sign, especially when you consider this to be a work light. I was talking about the main tailcap, because it has 2 tailcaps. Underneath the main tailcap with magnet sits another tailcap that will give you access to the battery. This one has some traditional knurling and is only accessible when the COB light is turned off. Like with many zoomies, the convex lens is not protected by a flat glass lens. That would have been preferred because a convex is more likely to damage and more difficult to replace than a simple glass lens. This guide will introduce you to some of the best lights from NEBO that can help bolster your EDC kit. These compact rechargeable flashlights offer high output and many other valuable features that can make a difference when you're out and about.

Specs didn’t specify in what focus position those lumen numbers are measured, but we can assume that in the normal position with the widest beam.By default, it turns on in the White mode. But if you press the side switch, and slide the body, you can get red light directly. A very impressive way to reduce the loss of light is by using something like a Wavien Collar. This will ‘recycle’ the light, and the output loss is only about 10% (I measured 7.6% loss on the Microfire Excalibur H20, and 5.4% on the H8). But those are quite rare. It’s interesting to note that the CCT is supposed to be 10000K and extremely cold, but in person it’s not really blueish.

It doesn’t mean that I want to see this in every light.. actually not. But I can totally understand this on a work light like the 2K is advertised as. Press and hold: ramping brightness up and down. It will blink at the highest and lowest output, but if you keep pressing the switch, it just continues ramping up and down The head has little to no wobbling at both ends of the zoom, but it does have some wobble halfway through it. This is nothing to worry about unless you are using it in a very wet environment because it would indicate a larger gap. Find all the instructional manuals, how-to videos and reference materials for all of the products sold by Carnage Tools. Diagnostics Before you can use this torch (to keep it British English), you’d have to take out the plastic insulation disc, inside the flashlight, by removing the battery first.

Operation

I’d like to point out the weakness of normal zoomie flashlights, and that’s the loss of light when the beam is focused into the tightest spot. The focusing lens is far from the LED, and a lot of light from the LED will be lost because it bounces around.

The NEBO Slyde King 2K is the upgraded version of the popular Slyde King, which is a rechargeable multi-functional unit capable of being used as a torch or work light. The Slyde King has 2 light sources, namely a single LED at the front (with a focusable lens) and a COB hidden inside the batterytube. To see, and activate the COB light, you simply pull the battery tube while holding onto the head with your other hand. Once you start pulling, the COB light will turn on. I’m not 100% sure that’s the best way to do this, because it will turn on even when the COB light is only like 5% visible. But Nebo probably has a reason for this. As well as the white light, the COB LED has a constant red light output and red flashing output. Red light is useful for night reading, animal spotting and preserving night vision, and the flashing red light is good for attracting attention, making it useful for in the car or on camping trips.All the functions are controlled by red the button located on the side of the unit, and the torch, work light and red constant light are all dimmable. When the light is turned on the in any of these outputs simply hold down the button and the brightness will gradually begin to dim before then getting brighter again. Release the button at the desired output for the task at hand. If the torch is in the compact position the button will turn the torch light on and off. If the torch is extended it will reveal the work light which automatically turns on in white, and single presses of the button will cycle through white, red and red flash. Charging is done with a USB-C cable (a USB A to USB-C cable is included), and it finishes charging at a safe 4.16V. The highest current I could see was 0.7A, which isn’t very high, and most of the charge time it was lower. I also tried to use a USB-C to USB-C cable on a charger, but that didn’t work. I then tried it with my desktop’s USB-C port, and that worked just fine. It looks like it doesn’t have any benefits using USB-C to USB-C over the traditional USB-A to USB-C. The charge currents remained the same. To activate the SLYDE KING 2K's signature COB work light, simply extend the flashlight out by pulling the top and bottom of the light. The work light will activate automatically straight into high mode, so be careful not to look directly at the light when opening. In this mode, the light is 500 lumens, shining for four hours. You can also dim the light in this mode by holding down the button as before with the flashlight. This mode is 50 lumens shining for 24 hours. Nebo included a proprietary ICR 18650 lithium-ion battery, with a total capacity of 2200mAh. This is actually quite small for a battery nowadays. I don’t know why they couldn’t choose a 3000mAh or just use a 3500mAh battery. Since the light shouldn’t be pulling many Amps, a 3500 mAh battery would have been fine.

When the COB is on, you can also use the side switch to switch between White, Red, and blinking RED Shortcuts:Measurements were taken indoors at 5 meters with a Hagner E4-X Lux Meter. Measurements were recorded after 30 seconds, as per ANSI FL1 standards. Mode Some zoomy flashlights are push pull, but since that will activate the COB light, you need to twist the head to focus the main LED. With the flashlight extended, pressing the button once, will put the work light in red COB mode. On high, this mode is 40 lumens, shining for up to six hours. The light can also be dimmed in this mode by holding down the button and on low,
