Nitecore/Tactical

Nitecore P27iX

Nitecore's 2026 tactical flagship, built around four five-core M515S arrays whose beam pattern the user can switch between spot and flood. Maximum reach is 430 metres at 46,320 candela from 5,000 lumens; in the flood pattern turbo runs 1,500 lumens for two and a half hours and the 400-lumen high lasts six. It takes an i-series 21700, charges over USB-C, is sealed to IP68 and weighs 4.4 ounces without the cell. At $159.95 it is priced well above the P20iX, and no CRI is given.

Beam profile

Balanced, about 21° wide. A usable hotspot with enough spill to see around it.
