The NiteCore SRT7 (aka Revenger) is one of the more unique tactical flashlights on the market. The SRT7 is part of NiteCore’s SmartRing Tactical series which features a rotating wheel for selecting the different modes and outputs.
Like many other NiteCore flashlights like the NiteCore P12 and NiteCore MH12, the SRT7 is incredibly bright, has good throw and a pretty good battery runtime.
The SRT7 Revenger is best for:
- Hunting
- Law Enforcement, Security or Policing
- Military
Specifications
Output and Runtime
The SRT7 Revenger flashlight has two main modes: turbo and lower:
- Turbo
- Output: 960 lumens
- Runtime: 1 hour and 45 minutes (1x18650) or 1 hour and 15 minutes (2xCR123)
- Lower:
- Output: 0.1 lumens
- Runtime: 200 hours (1x18650) or 120 hours (2xCR123)
On the spec sheet, it may look like the SRT7 NiteCore only has two types of outputs - but the Smart Ring Technology allows you to rotate its ring to adjust the output from anywhere in between turbo and lower.
This feature is incredibly versatile and can potentially give you longer runtimes by adjusting the output to exactly what is needed.

Conclusion: Our NiteCore SRT7 Review
The NiteCore SRT7 is a very unique flashlight with its rotating wheel, color LEDs and built-in tail stand. We highly recommend the SRT7 Revenger if you need to have a precise lumen output. While the throw of the colored LEDs aren’t as good as the CREE one, the multi-functionality makes it convenient to not have to add or buy an additional colored lens.
With its maximum high output, beam / spill combination from its reflectors and SRT system - the NiteCore SRT7 won’t let you down.
