Nitecore MT2A Pro EDC 懐中電灯 1000ルーメン 279ヤードビーム USB-C充電式 デュアルパワー対応 コンパクト防水スリムペンライト NitecoreSステッカー付き

Let's get this out of the way first......My name is Alan and I am a flashaholic. OK.....The product arrived on time and well packaged. For the record, I have lights that encompass everything from budget lights to high end lights like those made by SureFire. I have a number of other Nitecore products as well. So why add another one? Up to 1,000 lumens in a pen light was irresistible. I always carry at least two lights, one being a keychain light and the other is normally worn in a belt holster. There are times however, when a more discreet carry is called for. That may be a penlight. Now to be fair, this is on the larger wide for a penlight. Compared to a Streamlight Sylus...To accommodate the larger lithium battery pack and the AA batteries...It is probably about 40% wider than the Stylus. It is also slightly longer. Be sure top read the specifications so that you know what you are buying. A Stylus you can easily hide in a suit coat. This light.....Not quite as easy to conceal. But what you trade off in size you gain in brightness. The light is solidly built in typical Nitecore tradition. The body has a unique knurling that works well for me. Be sure to look at the product images so you know what you are buying. I seem to recall a few people saying that they felt the knurling was too aggressive. I do not find that to be the case. The tail cap mounted switch works well with a firm feel and good feedback, but it is a reverse clicky with no monetary function. While I prefer a forward clicky....This was a trade of I was willing to accept. For that reason I did not deduct any stars. If this is a deal breaker for you then do not order this light. Perhaps they will offer something different in the future. The tail cap is also design for free standing an for a lanyard. That means that the switch is partially covered / two sides are covered by the tail standing metal. This is another feature that I do not like, but I purchased the light knowing this so no stars deducted. Access to the switch itself is still good but...It may be more difficult if you are wearing winter gloves. The beam profile is one with a distinct and moderate sized hot spot with generous side spill. There is a ring or two that will not affect normal use, but if you are a white wall hunter you will most likely not be pleased. The tint is on the cool side of neutral but not horribly so. The belt clip is bi directional and removable. It is in the box and not installed at delivery. The battery is accessible by removing the tail cap. The threads are cleanly cut and lubricated. The O ring was also lubricated at assembly. Overall...,I am very pleased with the light. While there are some negative aspects, the availability of 1,000 lumens (500 when AA powered) is hard to resist, especially at the stated run times. On the run times...Keep in mind that thermal management is in play, so how long the light will produce those high end lumens will depend on the conditions at the time of use as the light will reduce its output as its temperature climbs to protect itself. I have already used this light verifying that there were no skunks living under our deck. Its small formfactor (For a light capable of this output) made it much easier to get under there. I love having this much power in a form factor that is MUCH smaller than most typical 1,000 lumen lights.

Great small light weight torch, great beam

Pros: The size of an AA penlight with the power of a much larger flashlight that uses an 18650 battery. This flashlight is rated at 1,000 lumens max. I tested it against my other 1,000 lumen flashlights that use 18650 batteries and it was slightly brighter, It definitely puts out at least 1,000 actual lumens . The beam is perfect. The beam color and beam shape are also perfect. Not a square bluish light beam but a round natural white color light beam. The gripping etching is also perfect, not sharp as some others have criticized that it would cut their shirt pocket. The two way removable clip is also designed very well. With a flat end cap it can be stood on end and function as an area light. Also able to use regular or rechargeable AA batteries instead of the specialty battery supplied. Using regular AA batteries the flashlight is still very bright (500 lumens). Cons: None, as far as I am concerned. The perfectly designed EDC pocket flashlight.

Amazing EDC light with easy functionality and amazing brightness at its max. A friend recommended and it’s worth the price. I use it at my cabin to walk down to the gate to close at night. Lights up the whole forest.

In the past 4 years, I have purchased 5 NEBO 500 lumen pen lights, because it actually was 500+ lumen, however, at $35-$40 a pop, it adds up, and I frankly was tired of the short lifespan. EVERY flaw the NEBO 500+ had, has been 100% addressed with THIS AMAZING NITECORE 1000 Lumen MT2A Pro flashlight!! This MT2A’s battery lasts longer, is TWICE as bright as the NEBO, Charges TWICE as fast, and the couple of things that make this MT2A FAR better than any others I’ve used, is NITECORE Focused on Build Quality, hands down, when you’re just holding this light, it just feels like a well-engineered, well-thought through SOLID flashlight… Also, I LOVE the fact that the MT2A deliberately focused on an environmentally tight, hermetically sealed flashlight, by doing away with the so-called “ convenient charging port access” and intentionally engineered a Lithium ion battery with the charging port built into the BATTERY, and NOT the body of the flashlight! This is important for 3 reasons…. Removing the battery to charge it reassures a visual on the O-ring that seals off and protects the sensitive electronics inside, not to mention the manufacturer realizes the importance of this o-ring, has added a SPARE o-ring in the even of an accidental tear, or even from average wear from recharging!! BONUS! 2nd, removing the battery to recharge it, doesn’t leave the weight of the flashlight hanging from the tiny and fragile micro-usb port, which causes strain and unintentional wear on the micro-usb port, which in time, WILL fail due to design flaws and untested port stresses, *Speaking from experience! The 3rd and more important reasons for removing the battery to recharge it, batteries naturally get warm, and some get HOT while recharging takes place…. Overheating a battery repeatedly can strip longevity in use after a full charge, but can also rob the buyer of unintended wear to the battery diminishing battery life by not just hours, but by Months and even Years of use!! When the battery has the opportunity to shed excess heat quickly, this will help maintain optimal charging temperatures, and overall assist in extending the Life Expectancy of your battery!! I ALMOST forgot about the BEST thing about the MT2A Pro and the benefit to removing the battery to charge it, which is A. An EXTRA battery can be purchased for A minuscule $14!!! That way, you’re always getting the best use of this flashlight, BUT, if you don’t want to purchase the spare battery, NO WORRIES!! The engineers at NITECORE also designed the MT2A to ALSO work using 2 AA batteries while your Lithium ion battery is charging!! This way, you are NEVER without the use of your handy pen light! There’s NOTHING worse or more frustrating than needing a bright light quickly, when you reach down to your pocket where you ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS have your Pen Light clipped, and at the WORST time, IT’S NOT THERE?!? Because it’s STUCK near an outlet while its internal battery with “convenient charging access” is being replenished for who knows how long?! NOT WITH THE MT2A!! Being able to EASILY swap out the Lithium Ion for your previously recharged $14 SPARE battery has a full charge and ready in wait, OR, the 2 random AA’s laying around can be thrown inside the MT2A, so you can keep right on going with whatever you’re in the middle of!! No, I wasn’t asked to write any review, I wasn’t paid to boast about this flashlight, in fact, I RARELY leave reviews at all, UNLESS the product I purchased actually AMAZES me, or is SO much better and well-built than any other item out there that I’ve experienced, I just figure it’s the LEAST I can do is show the Engineers some Props for a DESIGN WELL-DONE, EXCEEDING ANY other top name brand light on the market!!! As long as this pen light and its robust design and build remains available for sale, I will NOT be without a NITECORE MT2A Pro AGAIN!!
