WHY THE MT2C PRO OVER A STANDARD FLASHLIGHT
Full output on the first press
Every activation starts in High, so the brightest output is the first thing you get when you need light right now.
A spare cell is easy to find
It also runs on two CR123 or RCR123 batteries, the cells many duty kits and camera bags already carry.
A sealed body that stays sealed
The USB-C port sits on the battery, so the light body stays fully sealed, with every seam closed against water and dust.
Stays off until you mean it
A raised rim guard around the tail button protects it from bumps in a pocket, a holster or a duty belt.
Reach across a car park, a field or a perimeter fence.
The NiteLab UHi 20 LED has a small, dense light-emitting surface, and the precision smooth reflector turns it into a tight beam with 67,000cd of peak intensity. That carries the light 520 metres, far enough to identify a figure at the end of a long corridor or the far side of a compound.
The output is held steady by a constant current circuit, so the beam stays even rather than fading as the battery drains.
One tail switch, two levels, and High by default.
Half-press and hold the tail switch for momentary High, then release to switch off. Full-press until it clicks for constant High. The light always opens in High, so the brightest output is there on the first press, every time.
For a softer 50 lumens, switch off and press again within two seconds. Pause for longer and it resets to High, ready for the next call.
Charge the cell anywhere, or swap to CR123s.
The included NL1836R 3,600mAh battery has a USB-C port built into the cell. Unscrew the tube, plug the battery into any USB-C cable or power bank, and it is ready again in about four hours.
When there is no time to charge, two CR123 or RCR123 batteries drop straight in. Output on those cells runs at up to 800 lumens, so the light keeps working on whatever power is to hand.
A rim guard that keeps the switch where you left it.
The raised rim around the tail button guards it against accidental presses, while your thumb still finds it by feel in gloves or in the dark.
The flat tail also lets the MT2C Pro stand on its end and bounce light off a ceiling, turning it into room lighting during a power cut or a vehicle check.
Built for rain, drops and a long shift.
The body is aero-grade aluminium alloy with an HA III military-grade hard-anodised finish, rated IP68 to 2 metres submersible and tested for drops from 2 metres. A tropical downpour on patrol or a fall from a vehicle step is part of normal service.
Advanced Temperature Regulation watches the heat of the head and adjusts the output to suit, so the light runs at its best level for the conditions it is working in.
Small enough to carry every day.
At 117.5mm long and 114g with the battery fitted, the MT2C Pro sits in the palm of your hand and rides in a trouser pocket, a vest pouch or on a pack strap. The stainless-steel clip keeps it in place and ready to draw.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Can I use any 18650 battery?
Use a button-top 18650 rated for 6A of discharge or more, such as the included NL1836R or the all-weather NL1840AW. Flat-top cells and 18650s rated below 6A are not compatible with the MT2C Pro.
How do I know when the battery is fully charged?
The indicator on the NL1836R glows red while it charges and turns green when it is full. From a 5V/1A adapter a full charge takes about four hours.
How should I store it in a bag?
Loosen the head a quarter turn before it goes in a bag or a drawer. That breaks the circuit, so it cannot switch on against other kit. For long-term storage, take the battery out as well.

Hope it value for money...some website selling cheaper...so unsure
This is my 2nd Nitecore light purchase and the build quality is consistent as always. Battery came charged already so I could immediately test it and wow! It is bright. No frills usage, just 2 modes to power through. You get that distance, brightness and clarity much better than any lights in its equivalent. Can’t wait to test this out in the rail corridor and see where it brings me. Did I say that the removable battery is also another HUGE plus? Say yes to years of usage with this.
Well design and very compact with excellent brightness to fulfill all tasks. I like it most though I have many brand new Nitecore flash lights.
Great for one hand operations and easy to keep in car storage for nippy access.
I got this alongside the edc35 and this is my first experience with nitecore or at least with the seller who shipped these.The edc35 is great but it's package was definitely used and covered in some kind of soap, lotion, or hygiene product.The mt2c pro looked cleaner, but my main complaint with it is that the led module is slightly off center, making the beam profile a bit sub par for what I expected from nitecore.I may want to get this one replaced.
Small, simple and handy flashlight, yet powerful with the quality battery, worth buying.
Extremely bright as advertised, and great in low power mode too. The heat level isn’t too intense as long as you do not touch the very top. Build quality is very good and doesn’t feel cheap at all. It functions as expected and the buttons work well. Charging takes about 4 hours for a full battery. Haven’t had a chance to test how long it lasts, but if I experience any problems I will update this review. Overall I would recommend this flashlight. Great in an emergency as well!
It only losses a star because all of Nitecore's accessories that CLAIM to fit it, don't. See pics for one of many example. The problem is that the end of this light is 27.5mm, not 25.5mm. But outside this factor, this flashlight is TEN stars. I got one for my mom, who doesn't like fussing with a bunch of features. She wants a simple interface. And this light has that. Tail-standing and a removable battery are features which matter a lot too! Non-removeable batteries are ultimately additional e-waste waiting to happen. Why do that, if it can easily be avoided, right? Buy this light. You won't regret it!
Great for working on cars and super bright. The light has 75% spotlight and 25% flood. Great for my application. Gets fairly hot but it has enough space to comfortably grip it. The second picture is a hall way about 15ft no other lights on.
Latest LED matched with latest updated USB C ,Li-ion 3600mAh battery. What else I need to say.
I absolutely love this flashlight, it’s excellent in every aspect from build quality, looks, light output and battery life to the very compact size for an 18650 powered light. I have several Nitecore flashlights - they’re one of my favorite brands - and their new U-Hi LEDs are fantastic, aside from the heat they generate which I’m sure they’ll bring down in the next iterations. This light is extremely punchy - with a simple High and Low setting - High puts out a laser beam of candle power that can really push distance while still throwing enough spill to light the path along the way. This light is considerably brighter than my Nitecore EDC27 and comes close to the output of the EDC35. It feels great in the hand, the tail switch is fantastic with a half press to toggle brightness modes similar to the MT2A Pro (another excellent light). It does make for a great backup light due to the compact size; my only real complaint is that there’s no in-body charging and I have to remove the battery and either plug in a USB-C cable or throw it in my battery charger. Other than that, it’s nearly perfect and an easy recommendation for anyone, whether a light enthusiast, tactical/duty use or part of an EDC kit.
This flashlight is definitely up there in the top tier of flashlights I own. It has a great spill and throw for its size. The 18650 battery is a great size and the buttons are recessed just the right amount to prevent accidental presses. The clip is long and keeps the light in place. The UI is simple and straightforward, high and low. It comes with an extra o-ring, a lanyard, and a high-quality Nitecore battery. The workmanship is excellent all around. I do wish the light started in low and went to high, but it's not a major issue. I'd definitely recommend this light.
Lol
Compact, lasts. Need to take out battery to charge. One power mode button.
Great product great service 👍
I luv it and it friendly to use
Candle stands very well. Good battery life too
Big things definitely come in small packages! it’s amazing how something so small can be that powerful. Check out the MT1A another amazing flashlight.
Quality:great material Performance:okay Was expecting the LED to be brighter on high mode. However when tested with my old MH11. Somehow my MH11 outshine the MT2C. Using for work pupose. Hopefully it last.
Waste no time as “old school meets new age tech” as it can get. It has one button for on and off, and the same button adjusts the brightness between high and low.On, off, high, low. Beautifully simple and compact. High is very bright. Low is ample in most situations, although to be frank, I wish I was a bit brighter considering the next level up is extremely bright. But, all in all, it’s become my go to flashlight.
Worth the price. Compact and bright. I wish it had more lighting modes though
In a word; AWESOME! We use it at night when we take the dogs out. We get rabbits and other critters that find their way into our fenced area and this light highlights them so we can excruciate them feom the areaBest flashlight ive ever had! Charging is simple and the battery holds it's charge for a good amount of time.
My go to flash light. Front foes get hot though. Hoping I dont see the lenses melt or distort. Quality light,
I have a lot of flashlights, been collecting them for years. This is a great "tactical" light with a simple UI. Very bright High with a lot of throw on the first click, lower out put on the second.The battery does have to be removed for charging, but the included battery has a usb C charging port built into the battery itself.I like this light enough that I bought two of these.
Very bright. Good quality.
Works great. Extremely bright
Working great, thanks
Easy to use great price long lasting battery . Easy to carry around
Very light weight, good beam distance, simple control, decent battery life.Like any high power flashlight it does get warm.
it great.
Simple rechargeable flashlight with 2 settings. Perfect for my nightstand. You have to remove the actual battery to recharge it, but that's no issue for me. Small and appears durable. Would buy again.
Awesome flashlight. You will not regret if you purchase.
Wildly bright, with a long throw. Only thing I would change would be to have a medium setting, this only has high/low
Very nice flashlight.Flashlights seem to be getting more and more complicated to use with all the different output levels and functions. This is a very simple light. First click is max brightness, click again low mode, that's it. Add in it rechargeable, fits in your pocket and can reach out to 520 meters, (1550+ feet).I'm going to buy another one or two.
Compact . Super bright . Only drawback is the battery must be removed to charge it.
Why did you pick this product vs others?:I use this flashlight for work and love it. The flashlight is very bright, it also has a low setting that is useful when working on something close. I like that it is easy to carry in my pocket. The flashlight gets hot when it is on for an extended time but that is normal with all small flashlights I have used with strong light output. I would buy this item again and would recommend it to others.
I would give it 5 stars if it was able to switch from high to low with a bump of the switch instead of clicking it all the way off and on.Great light so far other than that.Bright and really good throw cutting through the night far away
NA
This light is super powerful! It’s brighter and throws a beam further than most of my weapon mounted lights- and if fits in my pocket for edc. The 4 different lights from this series is 🔥 I have the AA double and the CR123 double. They both are very bright and fit in pockets well
