I own over 70 flashlights and headlamps, many from Nitecore and I will have to add this one to my collection. I LOVE the remote and the fact it will take 21700 cells. Currently my Convoy L7 with 5900 lumens and 1412 yards of throw is my go to long range thrower, the Lumintop GT is just to big to carry and this HM40 PRO looks like its slightly smaller then the L7 which is nice. Go Nitecore!
I own MagLight, Streamlight, SureFire, Olight, Nitecore, and Milwaukee. Nitecore works just as good as any of them ever did. Price is good for what it is.
The LED is driven at about 60 W, from 15 to 20 Ampere from the battery. This is why this flashlight require two 21700 cells in parallel (inside the proprietary battery stick). It will certainly make a nice addition to my collection. I was wondering if the beam difference between this MH40 Pro, and the P30i. Thanks for the video. Anthony
Been anxious to see the replacement since the MH40S was discontinued. Little bit of a range drop and the run time is lower. I'll have to compare this one side by side with the 40S at some point.
I didnt think my battery indicator was working but i went back and read the instructions. Hold the mode button whilst turning the light on using the tail cap, let go, and the mode button will flash to indicate power level.
Handle looks to small to use the Picatinny rails properly the picatinny rails are a type of mounting platform that are widely used in the firearms industry to attach accessories such as scopes, lights,lasers, and bipods to firearms. With the head so large , how exactly would that be done without shooting this flashlight?
So, when you say, two 21700 batteries, you mean only Nitecore 21700, not regular 21700 batteries? I have several Tesla 21700 batteries that I use on my other lights. They work better than other 21700 batteries. Better, meaning, being brighter and last longer. Probably not better than the Nitecore batteries, though. I was expecting to be able to use the Tesla batteries as spare batteries, but they are not usable in Nitecore lights, since Nitecore batteries have a special design. I only have the one battery that came in my P10iX
Nice review! 3,500 lumens is sure nice BUT…. After 1 min on turbo it will step down in brightness like most nitecore lights these days. If it did not step down so fast, I would be interested otherwise. This is why I like my Speras EST Plus @t a solid 1,600 lumens turbo for 3min 07 seconds with close to 760 meters of throw. At that distance to the naked human eye it gets to be hard to see that far anyway. More lumens is not the answer. That’s why I like Olight Javelot and my new Speras EST Plus.
Shorter time in turbo mode. LEDs are capable of more and more lumen output. However past 2K lumens, all of these newer bright lights just step down in brightness faster! More and more lumens = turbo runtimes lesser and lesser in total time! Until there is a new alloy or way to keep LED temperatures cool… these lights have diminishing returns on turbo. IMMALENT lights understand this and realized inductor fans needed to run to cool down their flashlights which are the brightest flashlights in the world. EVEN THEN they STILL require step downs and temperature regulators!
This why one of the most technologically advanced and funded flashlight company “Olight” is working more on their R&D for flashlights between 1K and 3K lumen lights and utilizing the SFT40 led for their throw lights. The Olight Javelot is a perfect example of this. At 1,350 lumens it can hold turbo til 5 minutes yet still throw 150,000 candela and 750 meters. Yet other flashlight manufacturers claim more lumen output and more candela as a result BUT CANNOT hold turbo for more than 2min if they are lucky! Nitecore lights are a prime example of this! ATR (advanced temperature regulation) almost always throttles down from turbo before 1 min 30 seconds on most their higher lumen output lights! I’m sorry I’m just being honest here folks. More and more lumens has ITS LIMITS!
COOL!! How Much Is It? We Will Be Going Camping On The Labor Day Weekend, That Light Would Be Awesome!! & Do You Know If They Sell Extra Batteries For It?

Don't have any use for it yet. But I'll buy it.
I feel that. 😂

Only wish it had a HiFi display like the EDC29, etc.
423K candellas @ 3500 lumens? 2:36 MH40s still a better thrower? Keeping above 500k candellas beyond 3 hours?
Hi. If i were to travel on a plane is this flashlight allowed to bring along?
Is this good for law enforcement?
I own nitecore new p30 and i'm looking to see it in the PRO line
I have no use for this other than it's awesome! But I need it!

They show an example of that 3 seconds into the video. The included mounts are for the wireless switch, not the light.
@@Madman6505I saw the light attached and not straight, but I’ll take your word for it

I was really excited when I first saw this thing, then I saw the proprietary battery pack and the wireless remote control. Now I hate it
Can be used with 21700 batteries.
@@imgadgetmanjim Good, what about the remote control?
I think you can use the remote, but it's additional. you don't need remote to operate the light
@@AlrekArinbjorn Comes with remote but I didn’t connect yet.

in china is sold for 100usd, look at my review of this product please,with drone view
what's next for high lumen lights ? how much brighter is to bright.

Probably, but you could also use 21700's if you have them. Not sure if they have to be Nitecore's to work though.
Nice

It’s just too dang big
That's what she sai....
@@gstrader73 thank you!
The MH25 pro is much more portable but still a hell of a thrower for the size.
I'm used to D-cell mag lites and all kinds of others. I don't mind at all.
