Both the newer Nitecore TIP SE 700 lumen and newer TIP2 720 lumen are brighter. Both are EXCELLENT alternatives. Nitecore Tini2 Battery Life When finished, tap the power button to turn the light off. This will memorize the “last mode” you had selected. It has a small OLED display so you can see the modes. We found the TINI2 has a longer battery life between charges than the original TINI in day to day use, even though the manual indicates it is the same or lower than the original TINI. Featuring a strong and durable stainless steel body, the TINI 2 SS is finished with a PVD titanium coating for a sleek, elegant look. The high performance materials are resistant to scratches, corrosion and general wear, plus low and high temperatures.In Demo mode, the LEDs stay on for only 30 seconds, with a handy countdown timer shown on the lower-left corner of the display. Switching to Daily mode removes the time limit while switching to a different brightness level resets the counter. NITECORE TINI 2 | There are two user modes: Demo and Daily. High holds very close to its word; at just before 46 minutes, there’s a brief rise in output, and then a gentle slide down to zero. Medium runs for almost 127 minutes before the slide down, which is a bit down from its stated runtime of 2.5 hours. This is attached to my keychain. I have this light every day. We hit a deer and were able to use it to assess the damage on the car and the deer. It is very good for close distance lighting. As we can see from the graph below, I did some tests on and off with the TINI2 in turbo mode for about 10 minutes. At the end of the test, the TINI2 display showed 3.76V.

The IP54 rating means the Tini2 is protected from limited amounts of dust and water. It will survive a water spray or a bit of rain, but it is NOT waterproof or submersible.The TINI 2 SS features five brightness levels ranging from 1 to 500 lumens, accessible via two user modes. The Demo mode automatically turns off if there has been no operation in 30 seconds, where as the Daily mode will stay on until it is either turned off or the battery voltage drops down. Despite being in a side-by-side configuration, the beam doesn’t appear to be elongated or stretched at all. Unless I turn the light on right against a wall, the hotspot is very circular, but looking at the TIR I can’t see any evidence of them being angled towards each other. Impressive!
