Re: NiteCore Infilux IFE1 XPG-R5 Preview - Lots of Pictures

i.d.k. that mr.A is opposed to paying $150 in general, as he was also considering an lx1. so mr.A- were you merely wishing aloud that more expensive lights didn't cost so much, or did you mean too expensive relative to the likes of u.s.a. made surefires & H.d.s. systems etc.?

either way, where it's made, talk of build quality, flickering, strobe bugs, q.c. & warranty aside- the bottom line is whether or not people will pay that much for a NiteCore. if yes, then as romteb said the Infilux is NOT priced too high.

I havent seen IFE1 from a closer view to have an opinion. If the quality for the material and the electronics are high then i wont have to say a anything.

I think i will put the trigger on the Nitecore Infilux after the first reviews.

According to LX1 we all know surefire's quality. If they say 110, this is a very bright light.
 
Re: NiteCore Infilux IFE1 XPG-R5 Preview - Lots of Pictures

MR.A I should have mine by Wednesday I have several lights of comparable size, price and close to output that I can compare to and let you know what I think and if I think it's worth the price. bondr006 has already done a bit of reviewing and had hands on experience with this light and he likes it a lot and I know he has enough of these types of lights that if he likes the Nitecore then it's probably pretty darn good. I do expect more members to get their light in the mail early this week so hopefully they will post their thoughts on it.

but you already did- if for you it hinges on quality, & you cannot form an opinion in that regard at this point, then by what criteria did you determine the price is too high? personally i would give it a chance either way if it could tailstand, even at this price.

One positive point in favor of Nitecore . . . The Infilux became available soon after it was announced. At this rate, PK's grand-children will have updated the LX1 prototype before the model finally gets released.

Maybe they're saving it for the Roadwarriors.
 
Re: NiteCore Infilux IFE1 XPG-R5 Preview - Lots of Pictures

So, should I buy this one or should I continue to wait for my SF Optimus?

As far as the price discussion goes, CPF has a loooong history of some members being put off by "high" prices. The definition of "high" , of course, depends upon your financial resources.
We all have our limits. For instance, I am not planning to buy the new 450 USD launched by SF. But some people will.

I think by the time the Optimus comes out, you will have been able to buy the IFE1 and still have time to save money for the Optimus.

The IFE1 is a really nice light by the way....

How can you pass on a light that comes in a case that can double as a suitcase? :devil:
 
Re: NiteCore Infilux IFE1 XPG-R5 Preview - Lots of Pictures

Ok back to the Infilux, Rob I got the XPG RRT0 and it has a pretty cool tint and a donut hole🙁. Now I nervous the Nitecore will have a donut because of the XPG and the SMO reflector, looks like I will find out by Wednesday.

Re: NiteCore Infilux IFE1 XPG-R5 Preview - Lots of Pictures

Just checked and I can't get mine to make a donut hole at any distance from the wall. A lot of my lights, including my R2 RRT-0 make a donut hole at about 8" and under. The IFE1 won't make one at all.
 
Re: NiteCore Infilux IFE1 XPG-R5 Preview - Lots of Pictures

Thats great news and thanks for checking that puts me more at ease now.

I have not seen any RRT0 XP-G threads yet and I don't want to turn this into one but for anyone that read my comment regarding the RRT0 even though it has a donut is does have it's advantages vs. the R2 model. A couple would be a very bright wall of light and the modes are now more evenly spaced, the previous model to me seemed that the two medium modes was to close in output and the highest medium mode was to low compared to the high, the highest medium mode on the new light seems to be about half of max.

Ok sorry to go into the Jetbeam in this thread but felt I needed to explain a little after my comment, maybe we could start a dedicated RRT0 XPG thread.

I want to thank Rob again for keeping a nicely informed thread going. So IIRC your go to EDC pocket light has been the Jet-I Pro, do you see yourself carrying this in your pocket in the future or will you go back to the Jet or another light. I ask because since I got mine the Jet-I has stayed with me except for the occasional try a new light day.

Also how well does the selector ring stay in it's setting when it's in your pocket, in other words has the output mode changed on you?

Thanks jhc. Yes you recall correctly. The JET-1 Pro is another one of those I just gotta carry lights, along with my RRT-0, D10, all 3 of the Qmini's, a Maratac AA, and now the IFE1. The problem is not the amount of lights I carry, it's the dawgone lack of pockets in my shorts and finding places to carry them. Well, I got it figured out most of the time, and for now I have room for the IFE1. We'll see how it pans out, but I am really liking this IFE1 and see it becoming a permanent part of my edc lineup.

I have not had any problems so far with the selector ring moving when it's in my pocket. Only been carrying it for a couple of days though.

I'll be ordering one of these as soon as I get my NEX back in action (got new clip screws & washers, tritium vials and Norland Adhesive on the way for it) and will be putting it straight into my EDC rotation. Here are the features I will look forward to having in the light that's clipped to my pocket all day and all night:


  • Tail stands
  • Higher output than the NEX
  • Smartring, better UI than the NEX
  • Brilliant pocket clip
  • Lanyard slots in the tail
  • 0.1 lumen "moon/candle mode"


I can't wait to get my hands on this thing! That'll be 3 new Nitecores in one month 😀 Although one thing I do wish Nitecore had done is milled at least one trit slot in there somewhere!
