The Slyde King 2K feels pretty good in the hand and its build quality is definitely good. That way, it’s much clearer what the battery life is, and when you need to recharge. Having only 1 indicator for 100% to 25% is not very handy. It would have been nice to have some more battery level indicators. Green pulse: charging (we usually call this breathing).The switch is shrouded and lit when the light is turned on, and the color indicates the battery level. Some zoomy flashlights are push pull, but since that will activate the COB light, you need to twist the head to focus the main LED. 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. Once you start pulling, the COB light will turn on. To see, and activate the COB light, you simply pull the battery tube while holding onto the head with your other hand. 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. But I can totally understand this on a work light like the 2K is advertised as. It doesn’t mean that I want to see this in every light.
It won’t slip out of your hand, even with hand gloves on, or with very cold fingers. The body is covered with rubber that feels quite nice, and grippy. The Slyde King doesn’t look, nor feel, like the average flashlight that we, flashaholics are used to. Here’s also a Nebo unboxing video I made:īefore you can use this torch (to keep it British English), you’d have to take out the plastic insulation disc, inside the flashlight, by removing the battery first. Proprietary 18650 battery (loaded in the flashlight).There’s plastic covering the whole package, so you need to remove that before you can open the box itself. It’s a simple cardboard box with a few accessories and a manual. The packaging seems to be adequate, yet not very sophisticated. Since I don’t have any experience with Nebo’s lights, I’m curious to see if they can increase the heartbeat of a long-time flashlight user like myself. Having 2,000 lumens is not bad, since that’s brighter than about 95% of all the flashlight currently on planet earth. And it’s advertised as a work light, so no EDC, Tactical or such. The specs mention quite a few features, including a ‘hidden’ COB light, magnetic tailcap, focusable beam, USB-C rechargeable, IPX7 waterproof, and 2000 lumens. And we’re happy to be able to test some of their products, including the Slyde King 2K. Nebo is a major flashlight company with many flashlight in their line-up.
