Very well done, nicely narrated, good beam shots. I was (and still am) concerned about what looks to be a lack of spill.. Comparing with Fenix' offerings. Video helps a lot!
The fenix pd35 v3 has a much wider spill too and center spot at the cost of a bit less throw at distance. But it is so pocket able and small and actually comparable to the mh12se in performance/ runtime
i own 15+ flashlight. all expensive good brands. i love using this one the best. the weight is amazing. for a 21700 flashlight with this much candela it cant be beaten. plus the Luminus SFT40 is great tint
Thx for video! I've had nothing but good experience with Nitecore, I sent them pics of a power bank(NPB2) I bought that had some scratches and they sent me a new one and didn't ask for the first one back, now I have two and they both work great. Hopefully everyone else has a good experience with them.
Mh12se has smaller but a little brighter spill and hotspot to pd35 v3. But pd35 v3s hotspot is larger and spill is much wider making it more ideal to cover more area when used in low light or turbo
Can you review the thrunite tn12 pro? For 18650 battery light it's really best bang for your buck. 1900 lumens 36,000 candela and amazing quailty for only 50 bucks. Many of us need best bang for your buck in this day and age
it's more complicated than it seems. Other brands may have leaky usb ports, less turbo time, ten times less one lumen time, worse LED, be made in China,...
@@trollmcclure1884to add to that ; thermal/ temperature regulation through advanced circuitry. i e this is 1 reason why all fenix lights are more expensive and why they also warranty all of their product 5yrs and also limited lifetime warranty. They can back their product through the normal wear and use of their flashlights. Nitecore and Olight are much the same way too. It seems like all of these light manufacturers are trying to stay ahead of each other in competition BUT a flashlight host cannot regulate the heat and consumption/ power transfer of battery to the leds being capable of being driven harder and harder. More lumens equals more heat. Equals less runtime. Heat equals fried circuits. So we are coming technologically speaking to an end what a “handheld flashlight” is capable of.
What about beam color? I have a couple on Nitecore flashlight & the only thing that drives me crazy is green tint on the beam. I use my flashlights mostly indoors & it's very noticeable. So I'm leaning towards Fenixes & Zebralights because the don't have such a problem. But I'm looking forward to get a new Nitecore in case they will solve this issues. Thanks!
The CCT is about 6,500K without a green tint. I haven't had a Nitecore light with a green tint so far. I guess I'm luck. Was it an older model that gave off a green tint?
Unfortunately nothing anywhere states that. So I'm gonna say it's safe to say it doesn't have that feature. It would have been a selling point and I definitely would have mentioned it in the review.
It's a single battery flashlight. Why tf would it be able to reverse charge? Also, it's a flashlight. Why the FUCK would you use a FLASHLIGHT to reverse charge?
@@PreparedGuy thanks for replying - great review and I’ll probably get one! I was wondering because the Sofirn IF22A and Wurkkos TF21 are both competing USB-C single battery flashlights with Anduril and powerbank feature so would have been interesting to know. All the best I’ve now subscribed. Thanks for your diligent review.
@@assordante2205actually 5000mah 21700 battery which is what the mh12se uses could fully charge an iPhone over twice if needed in an emergency. So having a feature like that could actually be life saving. Everything counts in a survival situation. Always good to keep an open mind there buddy 👍🏼
Great narration and you even show the instructions - bravo!

Compare with Fenix PD35v3.0 please. Comparing videos this light seems allot dimmer.

Sorry bro I broke my phone a little while back so I've been missing videos. I like this light nice beam

From turbo how long does it take before it ramps down in brightness? Looks solid

@@PreparedGuy I have Nitecore EC30 & HC33. Both great quality, but with green light.
Green tint? I've never seen a green tint on any flashlight, are you smoking green? That might be why.....
@@PreparedGuy my MH12S has a greenish tint at lower levels. It turns white at high and turbo.
Is it better to get this or ThruNite TT20? TT20 has more lumens and it's cheaper...
TT20 2500Lm will last for 2,5 minutes with 258meter beam; Nitecore 1800Lm for 45minutes with 405 meters long ant its only 25 bucks more
@@walker-rw4xv and shipping (i'm in europe) 25 bucks more which makes it 50
@@Contagious93812 well I guess you can find a Nitecore retailers in Europe as well
Anyone know if this has powerbank function?

Does anyone has wobbly mode switch button on its mh12se?? Because mine is wobbly.
i normally lose my nitecores before the warranty runs out haha
Sounds about right 🤣👍 I can't even half my flashlights. Of course I have quite a few so they tend to get misplaced easily.
