Nitecore TINI 2 (Tini2) Keyring Torch 500 Lumens USB C Rechargeable Torch with OLED Display

Product Information

With the torch Off, by pressing the “ MODE” key, the display shows for a few seconds the level and user mode set and the current voltage with the battery drawing. This definitely isn’t a bad thing though, as having the internals of lights accessible to those with the know-how to repair things is always appreciated.

To meet different usages, the Tini 2 comes with two user modes: the demo mode is designed for short-bursts of illumination while the daily mode is optimized for longer sustained illumination. Mind you, it’s not quite powerful enough for hardcore adventuring; more like lighting up the trail back to camp just when it gets dark. The TINI2 is built in a modular fashion, with a plastic frame as the core of the body, with thin metal casings on either side to complete the look. The two switches are not protruding, but are placed in a recess I think for greater protection against accidental activations.The 500 lumens beam, which is also referred to as turbo mode, can only be activated via long press of the top button. TINI2 has 5 brightness levels available and uses 2 OSRAM P8 LEDs for a maximum output of 500 lumens for 2000cd. The practical OLED screen will give you some information about the light mode and remaining battery time.

With a max output of 720 lumens and IP67 rated, TIP2 is Dual-Core Magnetic Keychain Light with a CNC machined shell. The anodisation on the metal casings is top-notch as always with Nitecore, and is mostly smooth with an extremely fine texture to it. The test was carried out with the fully charged Nitecore TINI2 with an ambient temperature of about 21° C and without forced ventilation. This mode is the same as Daily mode, but with the difference that the light will only stay on for 30 seconds after the last mode change. The OLED screen is also a great option: I am not bothered by it and it gives me some important information.

With the flashlight on, press and hold the POWER button until the display shows the Lock 1 icon to access Half Lockout Mode. We’ll leave it to you to decide which you prefer, but either way, they’re both easy-to-carry accessories that can hang off a sling or backpack’s loop. turn for focusing that’s really smooth, and like the option to have different beam programmes to suit preference. The indicator will blink slowly and the screen will display battery status while charging is in progress and once charging is complete after approximately 1 hour, 45 minutes the indicator will be solid and the screen will display a full battery icon.

The TINI 2 features a multi-functional OLED display screen which provides real-time information on the battery voltage, brightness level, user mode and remaining runtime. V the power indicator beneath the buttons will flash blue every 2 seconds to inform the user to charge the battery.The modes are far more appropriate here than on the T4K due to the size of the light, and the Turbo being limited to 500 lumens keeps things in the realm of “warm but not burning holes in things”. Because the TINI2 uses the same UI as found in the T4K I previously reviewed, this section will be quite familiar to those who read the T4K review.
