Real beamshots of the MH12 PRO.
The MH12 PRO has double the beam distance of similar-sized 25mm bezel lights.
SUPER LONG RUNTIME - 4 hours and 30 minutes of runtime in at 1,200 lumens gets all of your tasks done with time to spare. The MH12 PRO runs up to 50 hours on low mode, making it a fantastic emergency light.
BUILT-IN QUICK CHARGE PORT - 3h 30min full charge with a 5,300mAh battery. This is the fastest built-in USB-C port charger ever seen on a flashlight.
BLINDING 3300 LUMEN BEAM - From the new UHi 40 LED. There's nothing like this on the market, it's the smallest, brightest most efficient LED of it's size. This amount of blinding brightness will disorientate anyone in front of you. It also shines through heavily tinted windows, smoke, and fog.
GRIPPY TEXTURE - The body has a new cross diagonal cutout design that stays gripping in wet weather and with gloves on.
PROXIMITY SENSOR - Lowers the brightness of the light when something is placed in front of it, and resumes it's brightness when it's clear. This stops any burning of holes in your pocket, bag or clothing.
NEW GEN2 HOLSTERS - Are lower profile, and take up less space on your belt. It compresses when not in use, compared to the old ones that flop around.
READY FOR ANYTHING - Waterproof and sealed down to 2m, the MH12 PRO can take on any climate. Advanced Temperature Regulation (ATR) technology ensures optimal performance based on the environment's temperatures.
What's the difference between lumen rating and candela rating?
While many companies tout high lumen lights as superior—suggesting brighter is always better—it can be misleading.
Lumens measure the total amount of light emitted from the LED or passing through the lens, indicating overall brightness, but that's only part of the picture.
Candela, on the other hand, measures how concentrated that light is at a specific distance, crucial for first responders and security professionals who need to focus intense light on a target for positive identification and situational awareness. High candela can even offer a non-lethal advantage by disorienting an aggressor.
Consider this simple test: your cellphone’s flashlight emits about 50 lumens, adequate for general tasks but ineffective in tactical situations. However, if you focus this light with a reflector, its candela increases significantly, enhancing its utility.
Similarly, the MH12 PRO doesn’t just provide a bright 3300 lumens; it also focuses this output into a powerful beam with over 63,500 candela, making it an optimal choice for precision tasks and defensive use at a distance.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Which battery does it use, and is one included?
It runs on a single high-drain 21700 rated over 15A and ships with the Nitecore NL2153HP 5,300mAh cell. It does not accept 18650, CR123 or RCR123 batteries, and a lower-drain 21700 will not reach full output, since 3,300 lumens needs the current only a high-drain 21700 supplies.
How waterproof and tough is it?
The MH12 Pro is rated IP68, sealed against dust and submersible to 2 metres, and impact resistant to a 2-metre drop, so rain, immersion and knocks on duty are no problem.
Does it hold 3,300 lumens the whole time?
Turbo runs 3,300 lumens for about 30 minutes, then steps down to protect the LED and electronics. High holds 1,200 lumens for around 4.5 hours for sustained work, so the full 3,300 is there when you need a burst of maximum output.

Customer Reviews
Overall rating: 4.9 / 5 from 314 reviews.
Quality:good Performance:good The torchlight is durable and well-built. Have been using the torch light at work and it works well. Also like the usb-c feature.
Great outdoor torch light. The lowest intensity setting is enough for most applications, the highest settings make night to day. Tried it out along rail corridor but only for short time and then let nature be alone again.
Best flashlight I've ever owned. And I've got 5 Fenix and 3 nitecore 2 Mag Light and 1 Streamlight. Honestly, they all suck compared to this one. Throw and beam spill are perfect. Anything with a longer throw has too large of a head or require 2 21700 batteries.
Fast delivery great product.
Quite impressive on the quality and amount of light that shine on.
Using while working on my niteshift.Shining so bright,i just love the simple high illumination on the work place i’m performing.Its an Embraer aircraft & i’m doing a battery change under the nose of the aircraft.With this nitecore torch light it just lights up my working life.Thank You so much !
Very bright light
The M25pro is an impressive device that has garnered a lot of excitement from users. It boasts powerful performance specifications, making it a reliable choice for various tasks. One of its standout features is the remarkable distance it can cover, which enhances its versatility for different applications. If you're considering upgrading or gifting a new device, the M25pro is worth looking into. Check out its specifications and see how it can meet your needs!
It will be the best if the light can on/off at front button.
This flashlight blows out all my other lights $77 excellent deal
I love the size which is pocketable, but yet packs a powerful light! Not to mention a very long running time with 1000 lumens. I also own the more compact MT2A Pro which is also an excellent flashlight!
Very good quality. The brightness is super bright and good for night walk in the forest.
The MH12 Pro is very well-built, feels solid, and the light output is a mesmerizing display of current LED technology. This light comes with the UHi 40, which is a big step up compared to other LEDs. These little LEDs in a flashlight have massive amounts of throw; they can reach out far but still have very usable flood to see your near surroundings.About the MH12 Pro itself, it has a sturdy, well-made feel to it with a simple UI (user interface). You use the tail switch to turn it off/on, and you change output levels with the side button near the head of the light. On either side of the output change button, there are tiny blue and green light meters that tell you what output mode you're in and how much power your battery has remaining.The MH12 Pro may be a little too big for some for everyday carry, but that depends on the person. It's not too large for me, but that is subjective.it's one light of many in my collection that I would grab first to walk at night or really any night activity where a light is needed, especially if you like to look at things off in the distance.
Awesome gear must have.👍
Love the grip of the torch and its ability to reach a distance of 705 metres on turbo (3300 lumens). The brightness and power indicators are extremely useful. 👍
Powerful and light
Another great product.....
Fast delivery and items received as per advertised. Looks sturdy and durable but only time will tell. It’s a little pricey as compared to other sites selling the same product.
This light impresses me due to its versatility, and ability to act as a high-power spotlight. You can see from the photo how crazy the throw is, while still offering an impressive flood. Combining the long run times, USB-C, and small form factor, I won't be needing anything else! (Be aware, this light gets hot!)
I use it at work and as you can see it gets nasty. It’s light weight durable and works every time. The charge is alright. A full charge will last me about two days depending on how often I really use it. Over all it’s worth it.
I will start this review with the caveat that my experience with high performance flashlights is very minimal. I purchased this for an upgrade to my old dim halogen and bargain bin LED flashlights we used only for emergencies. I figured I should have a QUALITY light for any real emergency. So let me start off with my first impressions. Light feels solid in hand, it has a nice weight to it. The finish is a bit slippery though which caused me to drop it when trying to take it out of my pocket. It landed hard on the pavement in my driveway and sustained only the smallest of dings. I was surprised how well it stood up to it. Now for the performance, I was absolutely blown away. I can shine this and light up treetops 100+ yards away like it’s daytime. The beam is very focused but there is still adequate “flood” to it to see more than what’s just directly in front of you. Even on the low setting, the light reaches out quite a distance. However in that setting there is very little flood. I’d say medium is the best setting for navigating outside at night while maintaining good battery life. Overall VERY impressed with this light. Only downside I can see is the very short duration of Turbo mode but that isn’t exclusive to this light from what I’ve seen. It comes with any super bright compact flashlight. Overall I’d 100% recommend this to anyone looking for a solid “do it all” light for emergencies or “tactical use” (or even if you are just amused by bright flashlights like I now am)
Amazingly built, the brightness is perfect for my night time equipment inspections! The features and the way you toggle between modes is smart too.
Super bright flashlight that can be used in so many scenarios. Has a pretty good sized throw and a crazy bright hot spot. I really like Nitecore products, and this flashlight did not disappoint. Very high quality build and the knurling on the handle is super coarse but not rough. Light has 5 stages of brightness that even at lowest setting is pretty bright. Video doesn't do this product justice since phones like to auto adjust exposure levels, but it is very bright and well illuminating. Haven't ran it for a long enough period to see how hot it gets, but with high wattage single led chips I'm sure it gets pretty warm after a long use.
In the box you bet 1 21700 battery, the flashlight itself, charging cable, battery case, and a light holster that should work with any belt or molle system. You get 5 brightness settings ultra low, low, medium, high, and turbo. Turbo is really just for tactical situations where you may need to disorient a target so the short batterry runtime and high heat output is not an issue in turbo mode. In high mode (1200 lumen) you should get about 4 hours which is plenty of run time. Personally medium (8 hours) is plenty bright for me. You also get some cool features like sos, beacon, and a tactical mode that simplifies the opperations and settings. Tailcap works as a constant and momentary on. Button on the body controls light output as well as a few other features. I liked the battery indicator and brightness indicator lights on the side of the head. All in for $90 I think this is a great light!
This light is bright! And I do mean bright! I have a couple other lights from other manufacturers that I thought were pretty bright, but they can't compare to the MH25. I have about 125 yds from my house to my shop. This light is so bright, I can see the leaves on the cement using the most powerful setting. ( See Pictures ). Can't do this with my other lights. I think if I was being stalked by any predator, mountain lion or man, this light would blind them and give me a huge tactile advantage. I probably won't go beyond the #2 setting on the light for 99% of my uses, but it will be nice to know that I can if needed. As for the light, it is well constructed, feels very solid, and the grip works great even with gloves on. Yes, it does get hot if used on full power, and the light does have a slight green tint to it. I didn't notice the color until I compared side by side. But these are non-issues for me. And having the circular light pattern is a big plus! I was always adjusting my other light between a tight and medium size square pattern depending on my location. With the circular pattern I get both patterns at the same time. Makes life easier!
This will be used as a general-purpose flashlight. It is solid, heavy, and appears to be high quality. Overall, very impressive.It throws an intense narrow beam surrounded by a less bright circle. (See photo).Pros:This thing is bright!Four brightness settings.Rechargeable.Indicator lights for brightness and charging level.Anodized aluminum body.IP 68 Waterproof.Cons:The front of the flashlight gets hot on the highest brightness setting. Not a big deal as this setting would only be used briefly.
I've had a chance to play with this flashlight today and tonight, and it's super bright. I could shine it to the end of our street and see nearly everything.25+ years ago, a buddy had a large flashlight that took 6 D-Cell batteries - we called it "the light of Woah!" because when you'd turn it on, everyone around would yell out Woah due to the brightness.THIS light is brighter than that on its 2nd setting and does more tricks.There's 4 levels of bright, and a strobe.I left it on for nearly an hour on the brightest setting - the battery from full charge went to about 1/2 charge. The light got noticeably hot, but never the brightness never degraded.The holder for it is decent quality.I've sent the link to several friends - some are Police Officers, and they are ordering theirs.
This is a lightweight, durable flashlight that has 2 different modes and 4 levels of lighting, plus a strobe/SOS function. The light is bright white, and that makes it easier to see things. It lights up the surrounding area, not just where you are pointing the light, which is helpful when you're walking through trees and bushes. My neighborhood experienced a blackout recently, and this flashlight definitely came in handy. I can't decide if I want to keep it in my house or in the car - I should probably get another one so I can have a flashlight in each place.
I've been a Nitecore fan for several years. For me they have always been the competition other big name brands like Stre*mlig*t or F*nix never saw coming. Every Nitecore light has been excellent. Bright, well made, tough, intuitive and definitely in that category of "quality" lights. This is the good stuff. I trust these lights and use them for Search and Rescue operations.Now this MH25 is a beefy and super bright light. As you can see, it's not the smaller size but it's also not huge. It feels good in your hands and has enough texture to ensure even with thick gloves it's not going anywhere. There is a tail switch that allows you to turn the light on and off as well as half click. The switch on the side lets you toggle light modes and there are charge indicator leds as well as light mode leds. The charge indicator is a nice add since typically what Nitecore does is give you a blink pattern to tell you battery level.This light is BRIGHT. I thought it was bright on HIGH and then hit TURBO and was blown away. Lit up a tree that was several blocks away like I was standing under it. There is a flash mode that can be activated as a "safety". Now I have had lights like that and the flash has always been kind of eh.. ok. This almost disoriented me just flashing it at our front door. Really amazing.It comes with a BigA battery, charging cable, clip, lanyard and a case, which I really like. This will be replacing my other light for SAR type endeavors. Super happy with this light.
Fast shipping and items are well packed. The bundles was a great essential for those looking for a good flood lights and portability. Will use it for my next wild life adventure.
Feels good like the mh12v2 I have, the batt level and mode display is definitely a great feature makes continuous usage. Love the new machining on it and the new holster is pretty interesting. However, the hot spot seem to be a little more prominent than the mh12v2.
A powerful light that suits every purpose. The beam is bright with a strong hotspot and a blinding strobe mode. The light is rather lengthy, but an average to large man’s hand should be able to hammer-fist the light such that both tail and side button are usable at the same time. Really love the light’s mode-memory function, which applies to strobe as well. The holster works surprisingly well, and allows a fast draw as needed. The free gifts are amazing; binoculars are clear and comfortable to use, and the pouch neatly stores everything I need. The TIKI light (has UV and other modes too) is an absolute wonder - truly a tiny but strong light that fits anywhere. 9/10 light (only because of the length. 1cm shorter would make a significant difference). Absolutely recommend.
Will bring them to Indonesia for my adventure there with my brothers.
Looks good… feels good… carries good… lights up good! 😬
Simple yet super powerful bright torchlight! Covers quite a far distance too. Highly recommended to get this bundle.
Powerful and convenient I purchased the mh12 v2 from nitecore and have been very happy with it. I use it for inspecting building renovations at night, walking the dog. And I keep it by the front door in case I need to check anything around the property. I originally purchased the light for hiking and I look forward to using it for that. Recommended.
First Nitcore Torchlight-AWSOME! I bought the MH12V2 pack which comes with freebies of BAK7 Binoculars, TIKI light and NUP30 pouch. Very good purchase. The quality of the products are very good and durable. I recommend it to my friends. MJ was very accommodating and easy to contact to. I put the wrong promo code and told him my concern, later that day he addressed my concern and rectified my order just like that. I never regret my first order with Nitcore. Looking forward for future purchase. AWSOME!
Awesome MH12 V2 An awesome light! Good beam focus + some flood good for EDC :) well made and very good brightness
MH12 V2 - 1200 lumens With a pop up on /off button at the back tip of the end cap and light mode selection button at the front, it is easier to operate this flash light. Not an issue with gloves on. As a tactical flash light, the overall length, when held in your hand provides the ease to operate. The extended extra run time at 1200 lumens is of course a plus to this upgraded version.
