Flashlight Nitecore MH12 Pro - 3300 lm / 139 mm / Laddbar / 2 x CR123

Nitecore MH12 Pro is an updated version of its manufacturer's popular MH12S lamp. This compact rechargeable flashlight produces a light output of up to 3300 lumens and a far-reaching spot beam, which will not leave even the most demanding user cold. Made of high-quality components, the MH12 Pro uses a UHi LED specially designed for flashlights, which, combined with advanced PDOT reflector technology (Precision Digital Optics Technology), creates an intense light beam with a range of up to 505 meters. What makes the lamp special is its two different user modes: Daily Mode and Tactical Mode, which are pre-tailored to suit the purpose of use. High light output, long range, easy user interface and compact, light and, above all, durable structure make this light an excellent partner for e.g. authorities, search missions and demanding hobby activities. The light comes with a wide range of accessories that make it easier to use.

The high light output of the MH12 Pro also brings with it high light energy, and for this reason the lamp is equipped with an intelligent backlight sensor. The sensor automatically lowers the light output of the lamp when it detects an obstacle in front of the lens, so that the high light energy does not heat up or damage the object in front. In this way, damage is also avoided if the lamp is switched on by accident, for example in a backpack or pocket. There are two switches on the MH12 Pro: a tactical switch at the back of the lamp and a side switch next to the light head. The rear switch can be used to turn the light on or off, and the power and operating modes can be managed from the side switch. The switches are placed in such a way that it is easy to operate the lamp with one hand, and the large size of the switches and the patterned surface of the body allow the lamp to be handled even with gloves on. The green indicator lights next to the side switch indicate the battery charge, and the blue lights indicate the power mode in use, so you can easily check the status of the lamp at any time.

The shock-resistant MH12 Pro is fully protected against water and dust according to the IP68 rating, and it can also withstand submersion up to 2 meters, so harsh weather conditions or other bumps will not make this lamp give up. The MH12 Pro works with a high-performance 5300 mAh li-ion battery, which currently offers the lamp a continuous operating time of up to 650 hours! When the battery is empty, it can easily be fully charged using the USB-C charging port on the side of the light head directly inside the lamp. If necessary, the lamp can also be used with one 18650 battery, CR123 or RCR123 batteries using a separate battery adapter. Five-year (60 months) warranty!
