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. It’s interesting to note that the CCT is supposed to be 10000K and extremely cold, but in person it’s not really blueish.
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. Find all the instructional manuals, how-to videos and reference materials for all of the products sold by Carnage Tools. Diagnostics 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. Once you've made a flashlight a part of your daily carry, you'll know how important it is to have high-quality, reliable illumination readily available for different situations. NEBO has sold over 30 million units from its line of innovative and consumer-friendly flashlights and tools in over 57 countries worldwide. Engineered in the US at their home base in Fort Worth, Texas, NEBO's lights cultivate their passion for innovative technology and creating new and exciting products for their consumers. The result is higher quality and uniquely designed flashlights that are reliable and cost-effective. The Lowest output starts at around 190 lumens, drops to 148 lumens in 30 seconds, and 66 lumens in 1 minute. It’s interesting to note that the light drops in steps, and not gradually. That’s kind of hard to tell in this graph, because the measurements are done every 5 seconds. You’d have to look at the 10 minutes graph to see this. The runtime is supposed to be 10% of the initial 30 seconds reading, so that means about 6.6 lumens. That’s about 16 hours. At 17h06min the light finally turns off.There were a few very small spots on the anodization in some tiny machining marks around the light, but nothing to worry about, if you are going to use it as a work light. It’s not meant to be a shelf queen, and will also never be one. To activate the COB light, simply pull the head from the body. The COB light will turn on directly when you start pulling, even with only 3 millimeters moved. That means that the light will be turned on, while covered for 95% by the flashlight body. The user interface on this light is very easy to understand. But there are a few things that you wouldn’t know unless you read the manual.. but since real men don’t read manuals, better pay attention now. During the lumen test, I noticed that the Low mode drops a few lumens every few seconds. It’s not like it’s a smooth drop like you see with other lights, but short instant drops. I haven’t seen this behavior before, as far as I can remember.
It would have been nice to have some more battery level indicators. Having only 1 indicator for 100% to 25% is not very handy. I’d rather have more battery levels, like 100-75% 75-50% 50-25% 25-10% 10-5% <5% Having 2,000 lumens is not bad, since that’s brighter than about 95% of all the flashlight currently on planet earth. Press the button a second time to activate flashing red mode, which is 40 lumens, shining for up to six hours.
Magnetic Base
The measurements in the highest output mode weren’t too far off, but the lowest mode wasn’t close in terms of candelas. But when you just focus on the distance: 125 meters vs 107 meters, that doesn’t seem to be a big difference. All it takes is pressing the on switch to use a NEBO flashlight. And even if you forgot to charge the battery, their lights tend to be USB-C rechargeable, meaning you’ll always have easy access to chargers and power accessories with a NEBO flashlight. Rechargeable, waterproof (IP67) and extremely versatile, the SLYDE KING 2K features a 2,000 lumen flashlight with 4x zoom, and a 500 lumen C•O•B work light. Each light mode is dimmable with programmable memory. The 2K also has an ergonomic rubberised grip and powerful magnetic base. I also measured it between 20-30% from the outer ring of the beam, and it dropped to 7000K. The yellowish ring on the outside of the beam is about 4500K. 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.
Great Deal
