A peak beam intensity of 55,300 candela pushes the P23i out to 470 metres, so a perimeter scan, a missing-person line search or a check across open ground reaches well past where most duty lights stop.
It is the long-range counterpart to the wider P20iX floodlight. Where a flood fills the room in front of you, the P23i picks out a figure, a sign or a vehicle at distance and holds it steady.
3,000 lumens from a Luminus SFT-70 LED.
The Luminus SFT-70 LED runs through a crystal-coated optical system with Precision Digital Optics Technology (PDOT) for a clean, far-reaching beam. At full output it throws 3,000 lumens, bright enough to light up a stairwell, a yard or a hillside in one press.
That much output also cuts through smoke, fog and heavily tinted glass, so a vehicle stop or a search in poor visibility still gets a usable picture.

Strobe the moment you need it, without hunting for a mode.
The 2nd-generation Strobe Ready tailcap puts an instant strobe under your thumb. When the light is off in either user mode, press and hold the MODE button and it fires straight to a disorienting strobe at 3,000 lumens, with no scrolling to get there.
The strobe runs at a randomly changing 16Hz to 20Hz frequency, which the eye struggles to adapt to, so it holds an advantage in a confrontation while your other hand stays free.
One-handed control, by feel, with gloves on.
The dual tail switch keeps everything at the back of the light. The tactical switch gives you momentary-on for a quick look and constant-on for sustained work, while the inset MODE button adjusts output and reaches strobe without you ever shifting grip.
Daily and Tactical user modes let you set the light up the way your shift runs, so it behaves the same way every time you thumb it on.
A U-shaped tail cap that does three jobs.
The 3-in-1 U-shaped tail cap shields the switch against accidental activation in a pocket or kit bag, so the light stays off until you mean to use it.
It also lets the P23i tail-stand for hands-free area light, and takes the included lanyard so it rides on a wrist or a belt loop on a long shift.
A strike bezel that breaks vehicle glass.
The hardened steel bezel carries blacked-out silicon-nitride ceramic beads that focus all the impact into a single point, shattering a car or building window quickly for a rescue or an escape.
The beads sit smooth against the bezel, so the light still draws and carries cleanly without snagging clothing or the inside of a bag.
Charge it from the same cable as your phone.
The built-in USB-C port refills the 5,000mAh battery from flat to full in 3 hours 50 minutes, off a wall plug, a laptop or a power bank, with a reversible plug that goes in either way in the dark.
A power indicator sits beside the charging port and shows the remaining battery power, and it can read out the battery voltage to within 0.1V, so you can check the charge before a shift instead of guessing. A sealed cover keeps water, dust and knocks out of the port between charges, so the only opening in the body stays protected on duty.
A 5,000mAh 21700 battery, in the box.
The included NITECORE NL2150HPi is a 5,000mAh 21700 cell rated for 15A high output, with dual-way positive and negative terminals at both ends so it drops in either direction. It holds roughly 11% more capacity than an 18650.
Because it is removable, a spare goes straight in for a back-to-back shift, so the light keeps working while one cell charges over USB-C.
Four hours of work light, or 45 hours when you ration it.
Mid runs 800 lumens for four hours, enough output to clear a building or work a scene with time to spare. Step down to the 50-lumen Ultralow and the P23i runs for 45 hours, which turns it into a dependable emergency and standby light.
Advanced Temperature Regulation (ATR) trims output as the head warms, holding performance steady and keeping the body comfortable to grip through a long task.
Rain, mud or a creek, the P23i keeps working.
An IP68 rating means it is sealed and submersible to 2 metres, so a downpour, a dropped-in-the-puddle moment or a wade across a stream is a non-event. Rinse it clean under the tap after a muddy night and carry on.
Built from aero-grade aluminium, drop after drop.
The body is machined from aero-grade aluminium alloy with an HA III hard-anodised finish, then tested to a 2-metre impact resistance standard, so a fall from a duty belt or a fumble in the dark does not put it out of action.
An anti-impact reverse-polarity protection mechanism guards the circuit against the shock of a hard knock, which matters when the light rides on a sidearm or in a vehicle.
A one-inch tube that fits standard mounts and carries light.
At 143.5mm long with a one-inch (25.4mm) standard tube diameter, the P23i sits in common ring mounts and rides easily in a pocket, a holster or a kit bag.
It weighs 114.5g without the battery, so a full-size, long-throw duty light carries without dragging on a belt through a shift.
WHY THE P23i OVER AN ORDINARY TACTICAL LIGHT
Reach, not just brightness
A 470m throw at 55,300cd identifies a target at distance, where most pocket lights flood the foreground and fade out past 200m.
Strobe the instant you need it
The Strobe Ready tailcap reaches a disorienting strobe in any state with one hold, so you are not scrolling modes in a confrontation.
A rescue tool, not just a light
Hardened steel and ceramic glass-breaker beads shatter vehicle glass for an escape or an extraction when a window is in the way.
Charges and lasts
USB-C tops it up from any phone cable, a removable 5,000mAh cell swaps in seconds, and Ultralow stretches to 45 hours.
WHO CARRIES THE P23i
Security & Patrol
A 470m throw for perimeter scans and vehicle stops, with instant strobe and one-handed tail control through a shift.
Search & First Response
Long-range output to pick a person out of a field, ceramic beads to break glass, and 45 hours on Ultralow for the long night.
Outdoors & Trail
3,000 lumens that reaches across a valley, IP68 sealing for rain and stream crossings, and USB-C top-ups from a power bank.
Home & Self-Defence
A disorienting strobe under the thumb, a glass-breaker for an emergency exit, and a 50-lumen Low for moving quietly at night.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Can I use any 21700 or 18650 battery in it?
No. The P23i runs only on NITECORE 21700 i-Series batteries with an output over 15A, such as the included NL2150HPi. It is not compatible with conventional 21700 or 18650 cells, or with CR123 and RCR123 batteries. The i-Series cell carries the contacts the built-in USB-C charging needs.
Will it switch on by itself in a bag or on a belt?
The 3-in-1 U-shaped tail cap sits proud of the switch and shields it from being pressed by accident, so the P23i stays off in a pocket, a kit bag or the included holster until you mean to use it. The same U-shape also lets the light tail-stand for hands-free area light.
Will it hold 3,000 lumens the whole time?
Turbo is a 30-minute high-output mode, and Advanced Temperature Regulation steps the output down as the head warms to protect the LED and keep the body comfortable to hold. For sustained work, Mid runs 800 lumens for four hours, and High gives 1,500 lumens for two and a half.
