Nitecore® TIP SE is a compact USB-C rechargeable light with four brightness levels up to 700 lumens and a runtime of 50 hours on low. At just 0.92 oz (26.1 g), it weighs as little as a AA battery. TIP SE has a total reflective optic lens providing 100˚ flood illumination for outstanding night vision and a rugged, hard-anodized aluminum body. Just plug into a power bank battery to recharge and never worry about running out of power or replacing batteries again.

multi-purpose clip allows you to attach the light to your hat bill for headlamp-like performance. Flip it around on the button side and it acts as a switch guard, protecting the buttons from being activated while in your pocket or pack. The clip also fully covers the USB port, providing protection from dust and moisture.

TIP SE has two buttons, Power and Mode – very simple. Short press the Power button to turn on the light. Press the Mode button to cycle from Low>Mid>High. To turn off, short press the Power button again. TIP SE has a memory and will turn on in the last previous mode. To enter Turbo mode, hold down the Mode button. Release to resume to the prior mode.

TIP SE has two different operating modes. In Demo Mode, the light shuts off automatically after 30 seconds without pressing a button. This works well for tasks that only require light for a short period time. It also prevents power loss when the light is accidentally activated or left on. If you need continuous illumination, use Daily Mode. Holding down both the Power and Mode buttons at the same time will switch between the two modes. A single flash indicates Demo Mode, a double flash indicates Daily Mode. If the light shuts off in Demo Mode after 30 seconds, you can switch to Daily Mode by pressing the Power button within 3 seconds. An Advanced Temperature Regulation module regulates the output based on the ambient environment, maintaining optimal performance.

TIP SE has a built-in, long-lasting 500 mAh Li-ion rechargeable battery that’s much more sustainable than disposable batteries. An intelligent protective charging circuit and a USB-C connection make it easy to recharge. Since you probably already carry a spare battery to charge your phone, there’s no need to worry about running out of power or replacing batteries, just plug into a power bank, wall charger, computer, or car (charging cable NOT provided). The light maintains full functionality while charging.

A special power management chip allows the charge to last up to 1 year. The buttons will flash red when the battery needs to be recharged. To see how much battery power is left, with the light turned off, short press the Mode button. The buttons will flash 3 times if you have more than 50% power, 2 times if you’re below 50%, and 1 time if you’re below 10%. Plug it in and an indicator light lets you know when the charge is complete.

    Just what I wanted

    Light weight with clip for ball cap. It doesn't weigh your hat down. Being rechargeable is great. Light output is amazing for something so small.
