The user interface on this light is very easy to understand. But there are a few things that you wouldn’t know unless you read the manual.. but since real men don’t read manuals, better pay attention now. Specs didn’t specify in what focus position those lumen numbers are measured, but we can assume that in the normal position with the widest beam. There were a few very small spots on the anodization in some tiny machining marks around the light, but nothing to worry about, if you are going to use it as a work light. It’s not meant to be a shelf queen, and will also never be one.
By default, it turns on in the White mode. But if you press the side switch, and slide the body, you can get red light directly. NEBO flashlights are designed and engineered in the United States, with final construction and sourcing done abroad.NEBO specializes in using “COB” or “Chip on Board” LED modules in their lights to get superior light output with high durability. They also use this technology to add additional light emitters to the body, especially by adding a work light into the mix. They feature convex lenses in the head that get you a substantial amount of throw for the light output, making them quite versatile lights in the process. Their lights are highly adaptable as a result. They’re also easy to charge because they work with USB-C or micro USB cables for easy battery maintenance after use. Where are NEBO flashlights made? I’d like to point out the weakness of normal zoomie flashlights, and that’s the loss of light when the beam is focused into the tightest spot. The focusing lens is far from the LED, and a lot of light from the LED will be lost because it bounces around. Nebo used a very strong magnet in the tailcap. This is probably the strongest magnet I have ever found on any flashlight. So that’s a good sign, especially when you consider this to be a work light. I was talking about the main tailcap, because it has 2 tailcaps. Underneath the main tailcap with magnet sits another tailcap that will give you access to the battery. This one has some traditional knurling and is only accessible when the COB light is turned off.
Rechargeable, waterproof (IP67) and extremely versatile, the SLYDE KING 2K features a 2,000 lumen flashlight with 4x zoom, and a 500 lumen C•O•B work light. Each light mode is dimmable with programmable memory. The 2K also has an ergonomic rubberised grip and powerful magnetic base. A very impressive way to reduce the loss of light is by using something like a Wavien Collar. This will ‘recycle’ the light, and the output loss is only about 10% (I measured 7.6% loss on the Microfire Excalibur H20, and 5.4% on the H8). But those are quite rare. The Highest output doesn’t drop as fast as you’d think. It takes almost 15 minutes to drop from about 2000 lumens down to 295 lumens. Yes, that’s low. At 2h14min it reaches 180 lumens (which is considered the end of the runtime as per ANSI 1FL standards). But the light continues to drop output and finally turns off after 3h14min. Battery was down to 2.7V. Altgeräte enthalten häufig sensible personenbezogene Daten. Dies gilt insbesondere für Geräte der Informations- und Telekommunikationstechnik wie Computer und Smartphones.

Press the button a second time to activate flashing red mode, which is 40 lumens, shining for up to six hours.
Nebo doesn’t mention anything about the brand of LED that is used. From the front, the LED is clearly visible, but I’m also not sure what brand and type it is. It’s an LED with 4 dies in 1. It sits behind a (plano) convex lens in the middle of a white centering ring. The LED isn’t perfectly centered, but that’s probably not a big problem. The Slyde King doesn’t look, nor feel, like the average flashlight that we, flashaholics are used to. The body is covered with rubber that feels quite nice, and grippy. It won’t slip out of your hand, even with hand gloves on, or with very cold fingers. It doesn’t mean that I want to see this in every light.. actually not. But I can totally understand this on a work light like the 2K is advertised as. All the functions are controlled by red the button located on the side of the unit, and the torch, work light and red constant light are all dimmable. When the light is turned on the in any of these outputs simply hold down the button and the brightness will gradually begin to dim before then getting brighter again. Release the button at the desired output for the task at hand. If the torch is in the compact position the button will turn the torch light on and off. If the torch is extended it will reveal the work light which automatically turns on in white, and single presses of the button will cycle through white, red and red flash.
The NEBO Slyde King 2K is the upgraded version of the popular Slyde King, which is a rechargeable multi-functional unit capable of being used as a torch or work light.

It will blink at the highest and lowest output, but if you keep pressing the switch, it just continues ramping up and down Like with many zoomies, the convex lens is not protected by a flat glass lens. That would have been preferred because a convex is more likely to damage and more difficult to replace than a simple glass lens. The Slyde King has 2 light sources, namely a single LED at the front (with a focusable lens) and a COB hidden inside the batterytube. To see, and activate the COB light, you simply pull the battery tube while holding onto the head with your other hand. Once you start pulling, the COB light will turn on. I’m not 100% sure that’s the best way to do this, because it will turn on even when the COB light is only like 5% visible. But Nebo probably has a reason for this.All output numbers are relative to my homemade Integrating Sphere. It is set up with an Extech SDL400 Lux Meter for measurements including a Kenko PRO1D ND-16 filter. The base measurement is done with a Convoy S2+ that has been tested at 255 lumens.
