Flashlight Nitecore TM12K - 12000 lm / 108 mm / Rechargeable

The Nitecore TM12K represents the pinnacle of flashlights when it comes to size-to-power ratio! According to the manufacturer, the TM12K not only has an incredible light output of 12,000 lumens, but it is also equipped with great features, such as an OLED screen, two types of button locks and a clear user interface with three power switches. Despite its shocking power, the TM12K is so compact that its size class corresponds to an old flip phone. The flashlight is easy to hold in the hand thanks to its Anti-Slip finger slots. The ergonomic Anti-Slip design guarantees a safe and comfortable grip, even with gloves on. Together with the Anti-Slip design and the enclosure class IP68, the use and durability of the lamp is ensured in all weathers. Overall, the TM12K is the right choice for home, hobby and demanding work and search.

To maintain the best possible performance, the TM12K is equipped with ATR (Advanced Temperature Regulation), which adjusts the luminous flux according to the operating conditions. The TM12K is powered by a built-in 21700 Li-ion battery (4800 mAh), which provides a burning time of up to 200 hours at the lowest light output. Charging is easy via the modern USB-C port, and charging the battery from empty to full takes about 4 hours. In addition, the lamp's charging circuit also supports quick charging, which means that the battery can be charged from empty to full in just 1.5 hours with a power adapter that supports quick charging!

The cleverly embedded OLED display shows the operating mode in use, battery voltage, lamp temperature and battery level. The TM12K is easily controlled with two types of switches, power switches and position switches. In addition, there is a separate bottom switch to activate the flashlight's turbo mode for a maximum output of 12,000 lumens. The turbo mode can be activated momentarily in any "basic power mode" as well as when the lamp is switched off. Thanks to this, the maximum light output is always quickly available when needed.

Quick guide

On/Off: Turn the flashlight on and off by pressing the power button (the front power switch) once.

Operating mode adjustment: When the lamp is on, press the operating switch, and the mode is adjusted with each click in the following order: Ultralow- Low - Medium - High. The lamp saves the last used mode in the lamp's "memory". High- and ultralow can be activated directly when the lamp is off: A short press on the power switch for ultralow, a longer press on the operation switch for High.

Turbo mode: Turbo mode can be activated temporarily by holding down the lamp's bottom switch. It can be activated in any operating mode, even when the lamp is off. The lamp's OLED display tells you the remaining operating time of the Turbo function, when it runs out the lamp automatically returns to the last used operating mode. Turbo mode is intended for occasional use only. Alternatively, Turbo mode can be activated by holding down the lamp's upper power switch when one of the "basic power modes" is selected.

Button lock: The lamp has two different button locks - Half Lockout Mode (Lockout 1) and Full Lockout Mode (Lockout 2). When the light is on, press and hold the front power button until the text "Lockout 1" appears on the OLED screen. If the Lockout 1 button lock is used, the Turbo mode can still be used, but the ON/OFF and other operating modes are disabled. If you continue to hold the power button after the text "Lockout 1" is displayed, the text "Lockout 2" will finally appear on the screen. With "Lockout 2", all three switches on the lamp are deactivated and all operating modes are locked, even in Turbo mode. The key lock is opened by pressing the power button once, which activates the screen, and immediately after holding the power button down until the text "Unlock" disappears from the screen.
