Nitecore P30

The Nitecore P30 is a round-body LED handheld light rated at 1,000 lumens and 250,000 candela. That candela figure works out to an effective positive identification distance of 172 yards and visual impairment out to 24 yards, both calculated from the published beam data. It runs on 18650 and is rechargeable. It weighs 5.8 oz in an aluminum body 6.2 inches long. Measured against the 362 handheld lights in the index, it lands on the dimmer side for output (1,000 lumens), in the most intense quarter for beam intensity (250,000 candela), about in the middle for weight (5.8 oz), and on the cheaper side for price ($90). It is one of 127 entries in the index that qualify as a light in the same 1,000 to 1,999 lumen class. The closest listed comparison is Nitecore MH12 V2, the same brand's light in the same 1,000 to 1,999 lumen class, priced at $90.
