Nitecore has released the P17iX, a compact everyday carry flashlight designed for users who need high output in a small form factor. The device joins the company's lineup as the smaller sibling to the P27iX, sharing identical design language and control interfaces. This launch provides a more portable option for those who require serious illumination without carrying a larger unit.
Supports both 21700 and CR123 battery types
The P17iX is built around a robust chassis that balances durability with portability. It weighs 3.6 ounces when including the battery, making it easy to carry in a pocket or bag. The unit features an IP68 rating for water and dust resistance, ensuring it survives harsh environments. It also withstands drops from heights of up to 6.6 feet without damage.
- Max Lumens: 5,000
- Max Range: 1,083 feet
- Weight: 3.6 oz
- Battery Type: 21700 / CR123
- Charging Port: USB-C
Performance metrics for the P17iX center on its high-output capabilities and efficient power management. The flashlight is formally rated at 5,000 lumens, delivering a maximum beam range of 1,083 feet. In turbo mode, it outputs 1,500 lumens and maintains at least 3 hours of runtime. Users can extend battery life significantly by using the lowest mode, which runs for around 100 hours at 15 lumens.
Global availability starts at approximately $129
Power flexibility is a key feature of the P17iX, as it supports both 21700 and CR123 battery types. The device uses a replaceable 21700 battery for standard operation, but CR123 cells can be used as an alternative. Recharging the internal battery is handled via a protected USB-C port, allowing for convenient power replenishment.
The Nitecore P17iX is now available globally for approximately $129. The $129 price point reflects the cost of the compact EDC flashlight. The unit is now available for purchase globally.
This release follows the introduction of the larger P27iX model, which established the current design standard for this series. The P17iX retains the same user experience and build quality while reducing the physical footprint. It serves as a practical alternative for users who find the larger model too bulky for daily use.
