NICRON N8 Rechargeable Flashlight 1200 lumen IP68 Black

Compact aluminium torch

The NICRON N8 is a rechargeable LED flashlight built around a CREE emitter that delivers 1200 lumens and throws a beam up to 165 metres. Its aluminium alloy body weighs 140 g and measures 113 mm long. The light is rated IP68, surviving a two-metre underwater test and a one-metre drop test. A single 18650 cell powers the torch for up to 100 hours on lower settings.

Six-mode versatility

Six operating modes cover turbo, medium, low, strobe and SOS signalling, switched by single, double or triple half-clicks. The built-in USB charging port on the 18650 cell lets you top up from any USB power source while a indicator shows charging status. This suits campers, hikers, joggers and anyone needing a rugged everyday light. Buyers who require an included mains charger or multiple batteries in the box should look elsewhere.

1200-lumen CREE output

The headline specification is the 1200-lumen maximum output from the CREE LED, which is rated for 50,000 hours of life. This brightness level determines whether the N8 can replace a larger searchlight or serve only as a powerful pocket torch. Match the lumen figure and 165-metre throw to your intended task before buying.
