The NITECORE TIP SE represents the next evolution in the TIP keychain light series, combining sleek aesthetics with enhanced performance. If the original TIP was the sporty coupe and the TIP 2 a grand tourer, the TIP SE is the high-performance sports car of the lineup—delivering twice the power in the same ultra-compact package. Equipped with dual OSRAM P8 LEDs, the TIP SE emits up to 700 lumens of bright, focused light with a throw of over 100 yards. Despite this impressive output, the TIP SE remains incredibly lightweight and portable, measuring just 2.36 inches and weighing less than one ounce. Its durable all-metal aluminum alloy frame, IP54 water resistance, and impact resistance up to 1 meter make it a rugged and reliable everyday carry (EDC) flashlight.
Usability is at the forefront of the TIP SE's design. It features an intuitive dual-button interface—one for power and one for mode selection. Users can easily cycle through four brightness levels and access instant turbo by holding the mode button, whether the light is on or off. The flashlight also supports two user modes—Daily and Demo—offering customization for different use cases. Its built-in intelligent memory function recalls the last brightness setting used, while a smart power indicator located beneath the buttons displays remaining battery life on demand.
One of the standout features of the TIP SE is its USB-C fast charging capability. The built-in 500mAh Li-ion battery fully recharges in under 1.5 hours and delivers up to 50 hours of continuous use. The charging indicator light changes from red to green when fully charged, and multiple safeguards protect the battery during charging. The included adjustable clip enhances carry options—easily attaching to keychains, pockets, backpacks, or even cap bills.
Whether used as a keychain light, emergency backup, or outdoor companion, the NITECORE TIP SE combines cutting-edge lighting technology with practical everyday usability. With a sleek form factor, robust build, and exceptional brightness, it’s a must-have for anyone seeking high performance in a compact EDC flashlight.
