Hand flashlight Nitecore MH12 V2 Black

The NITECORE MH12 V2 is the latest evolution of the popular NITECORE MH12 series. Built around a CREE XP-L2 V6 LED and a Precision Digital Optics Technology (PDOT) system with crystal coating, the flashlight delivers a maximum output of 1,200 lumens, a peak beam intensity of 10,200 cd and a maximum throw of 202 meters. It offers two user modes, four brightness levels and three special modes, and is suitable for emergency use, self-defence, outdoor activities, maintenance inspections, patrols and law enforcement tasks.

Advantages

The MH12 V2 supports a wide range of power sources: primarily designed for 1 x 21700 battery, it is also compatible with 1 x 18650 or 2 x CR123 / RCR123 cells and features USB‑C rechargeable capability. ATR temperature regulation maintains stable output under varying working conditions. The light produces very long runtimes—up to 1,500 hours on the lowest setting—and provides versatile carrying and mounting options through the detachable clip, the NTR10 tactical accessory and the supplied NTH10 tactical holster. The housing is rated IP68, submersible to 2 m and impact resistant to 1 m.
