NitecoreMT2A Pro EDC Flashlight, 1000 Lumen, USB-C Rechargeable, 2X AA Battery Compatible Slim Penlight, Including NitecoreS Sticker

This light is fantastic. I am not a flashlight guru or collector but I had a specific list of things I wanted from a flashlight and this is exactly what I wanted. The distance this thing can throw light from such a tiny package is amazing. I keep it clipped inside my pants pocket next to my Galaxy S24 and it's fine.The price point is awesome as well. I ordered it because I saw it being tested on the Torque Test YouTube channel and it actually provides 1000 lumens. I have been carrying it every day for about 8 months. I did bend the hat clip sliding off of a loaded trailer and wound up having to cut that off. A new clip is available and cheap though.The only downside is the lack of charge indicator and having to take the battery out to charge it. After using it for some time I have noticed signs of when the battery is close to dead. You can tell when mid power and high power are about the same brightness that it's nearing time to charge. I make sure I keep two AA batteries handy so I can keep using it while it charges.Its great for getting light on things rustling in the woods when I'm in the yard at night or early in the morning (which is what I wanted). I drive a truck for a living and this light has been great for that. I can use it for my Pre-Trip inspections as well as walking through parking lots. It has kept me from stepping in many nasty things st truck stops.It is great at long distances and up close on lower power.

Where to begin.. this light, is simply phenomenal. Im a bit of a gear nerd, and this light has been my go to over several other, far more expensive lights. The battery life has been nothing short of amazing. Its durable construction and well thought out features continue to lend to its usefulness. I bought a second battery when I bought the light, and wish I hadn't now, since the battery lasts SO long.its light weight, incredibly versatile and easy to use. It can heat up when you have it on its highest output, but that's to be expected with a light this size, and with this level of output. It has a tight beam, with a ring of spill around it. It has far exceeded my expectations and if it died today, I'd be immediately ordering another. Another excellent Nitecore product!

The media could not be loaded. 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!!
