Nitecore TIP3 – 720 Lumen MCT Keychain Flashlight
The Nitecore TIP3 (TIP 3) is a compact USB-C rechargeable keychain flashlight delivering up to 720 lumens with a beam reach of about 100 yards. A step up from the TIP SE, it pairs two MCT (Multiple Color Temperatures) LEDs with simple two-button controls, making it an ideal everyday carry light for night walks, dark spaces, and power outages. Going Gear is an authorized Nitecore dealer.
Three Color Temperatures
Switch between 3000K warm light that is easy on the eyes and cuts through fog and rain, 4500K neutral white for natural everyday lighting, and 6500K cool white for maximum outdoor brightness. Quick access to Turbo and an ultra-low mode covers everything from map reading to lighting a trail.
Designed for Easy Carry
The built-in rechargeable battery runs up to 160 hours on its lowest setting and charges over USB-C — the TIP3 can even be used while charging. Lockout modes prevent accidental activation, battery indicators keep you informed, and the removable clip attaches to a pocket, bag, or hat bill for hands-free use alongside keychain carry.
