My main principle is "buy what you require for what you need it for" Different case uses will determine what kind of flashlight to use. Commonly I find alot of people wanting to know what's best to get for an EDC. I must say that this MT2A Pro would now be my first choice to get if budget allows. Nice video and thanks for sharing all your knowledge on it.
NITECORE is Killin it, by far best light brand on the market
My advice would be to only buy what you actually need for the tasks you want it for, so don't get caught up in massive lumens and large lights when you really only need for example, the MT2A Pro or such. 👍🏻
Love my old mt2a i buy it 2019 and now still running perfectly .. good for edc light
Nice light I like it, its always good to have battery option, charging downtime, camping, power outage etc
My advice: try every single flashlight you can and buy that flashlight you liked more. Because life is given to us only once.
I love my p10ix, extremely long battery life and it pairs well with my mpb21 kit which I keep in my truck with 3 extra batteries. It’s a great system to have and simple to take camping. It’s an emergency power bank and provides great light. So a back up to the backup powerbank 😂. Truly a great system. But I also keep a tm9k tac in the truck when I truly need to bring the light. As a paramedic I like to keep a few lights and headlamps in the truck with my first aid gear.
I like the previous non-pro version. My defense EDC. One turbo mode, no hassle, only press once in stressful situations. Perfect!
Love the dual battery style on the pro.
Advice: For your first flashlight purchase that should be able to "do it all" get the flashlight that is versatile that can provide options for power source, rechargability (ideally USB-C) as it is now the most generally available everywhere. And if you would go outdoors with no access to "plug," the option to use AA battery that you can easily carry is a GREAT back up solution. This MH12 PRO could be the best option available in the market.
That's amazing throw and brightness for such a small light
Thank you for this review , NG! Bought 01 cause of your gr8 review!!
Glad to hear!
My advice would be to buy a light that you can and will carry based on your actual needs. There was a time that I would buy the coolest tactical light, but found I had a hard time carrying it because of the size. Ended up carrying smaller lights because they were the right size and had enough lumens for my lighting needs.
Finally this model has the capability to use duel fuel, AA & rechargeable usbc, I had the older mt2a almost 2 years still doing great, the only down side it doesn't have moonlight or ultra-low features, or else I'll be considering upgrade the latest one.
I like the versatility to use the rechargeable battery and if a charger is not available to back this light up with a few AA batteries.
Is there a date for the UK store?
The light looks fantastic btw!
I definitely love my fenix PD32v2... But I have to order this flashlight soon.
I am new to EDC but a thing that I always carry with me is a flashlight, and it has saved me a ton of times especially when the powers runs out and all I have is either candles o a flashlight so they are pretty useful for many reasons, the best advice would be good budget flashlight perhaps a wuben as a first time would be a good option.
Greeting from Colombia hope I win this flashlight
My advice is usually get something with a simple UI and don't get hung up on max output. Look at the medium output level, for outdoors this is where most use cases land, also a low mode or "get-home-mode" of 30-50 lumen is a plus. And lastly, buy what you need, simple and reliable should be the main deciding factors.
My best advice would be to understand what purpose you want for you light and understand that it may change/grow
I will always recommend the original mt2a, it never fails to suit anyone from new users to people who have a ton of lights.
It either becomes the most reliable first light, or the best fallback plan for someone with many lights.
My advise for the first time purchase would be - 'buy just one good headlamp". 😊 Preferably from Nitecore. 😊
My advice would be to go for a light that just a bit above your current needs. If you need a basic home flashlight try a tactical nitecore light - this way it can do what you want it for, as well as in an emergency you have that extra lumens. Plus it would last for much longer. It's kinda like choosing a fast phone - so that it would last longer and slow down less.
If I only had 1 piece of advice for someone buying a flashlight for the first time, it would be: portability. The flashlight you have on you is better than any giant 10,000 lumen beast that you had to leave at home.
Mine would be UI. I have stayed away from Nitecore after a dozen or so lights but tried a EDC27 again just got I got a flashlight itch and was reminded how bad their Ui is. Not every light needs a strobe.
To see the main use for the flashlight, and which power source to be used.
Great hopefully there will be also a MT1 A Pro soon that works with a single 14500 battery.
I love AA batteries and keep dozens charged for my work. IKEA LADDA 2450 are currently the best value rechargeable AA NiMH with incredible performance.
Disposable lithium cells, while expensive, yield even longer runtimes and have a decade long shelf life which may be an important consideration for preppers.
A good light as a backup
I’d advise to buy light base on usage firstly then looks second
Usage to ensure they get the correct tool for the job and looks because they will be more likely to carry it around if they like how it looks even if they aren’t necessarily going to use it
My advice for a light would be look into getting something that has some spot and some flood like the MH12 series. It has some of both worlds that will get you through most anything you will need a flashlight for in the real world as long as you are not going on specific mission-based tasks.
Best advice I can offer is this.. don’t cheap out for options you need. I need momentary on, memory function, high output (1000 lumen plus) plus compact size. It would be the job of maybe 2/3 lights but find one that works and get it!!
If I had to give somebody some advice I would tell them to pick a light that they would feel comfortable carrying every day yet that still packs a punch and this new light mT2A pro seems to be perfect for that
My advice is to know your tasks you need it for, don’t get caught up looking at lumens because that doesn’t always equate to distance. Example is I have the E4K, 4,400 lumens, which is great, but me living on property it doesn’t fit my needs well. Something like the mh25 pro, even though it has less lumens the distance is much greater and more fit for me.
I do like the sound of this light as a secondary. One to keep on me when I am out of my property incase the primary dies when I am out and about
Best advice for buying only one light:
Choose what model suits your needs most, but make sure it comes from a well-established manufacturer.
I think my advice would be to pick the type of light you need before focussing on lumens. A 1000 throw oriented light will be better for long-range than a flood 2000 lumen. In the same idea get one which size will fit your need is it for pocket EDC, belt or backpack ect...
One of the things i look for most in a light is the moon light mode and as long run time in that mode as possible .. Just in case you need to stay in a dark place for an long period when the power goes down IE a basement or hardened structure if ya get what i mean
I literally used my thrunight th30v2 headlamp in moonlight mode, day and night for 35 days straight as a night light. I'll forever respect that light and battery combination for doing that. 😂
The only advice for a first time flashlight buyer is to but a Nitecore!
Good review and helpful but I'd suggest when reviewing a torch stick to that specific model because it could be confusing especially for non english speaking viewers. Happy new year.
I got rechargeable flashlights and i like them even the rechargeable heychain light i got they got long beams and have many settings
Wish they made colors like olights , I prefer nitecore lights but sure like some colors
my I piece of advice would be to go for what feels just right in the hand for you: do you need end cap or side switches, weight, texture and girth are important. If it doesn't feel just right and fit in your edc you'll simply not have it when you really get stuck.
My one advice to someone new buying a flashlight would be based on my experience and lessons I have learnt since being a flashoholic for most of my adult life! The flashlight is a tool you usually rely on more than you anticipate; to such an extent it may be your only light source or only tool you have with you at the time. For this reason, go with quality first, with the internal electronics and mechanisms ensuring it is able to temperature control as well as high quality casing making sure its waterproof!
Hope that helps, keep up the amazing videos
Great points! Appreciate it
This looks like another winner for nitecore
It sure does, I’ve replaced my urban commute light with this. The thin shape is what I like best about it at the moment.
I WISH NITECORE WOULD INCLUDE RUN TIME GRAPHS FOR EACH LIGHT....LIKE FENIX

Does this have a momentary on when you half press the tail switch?
My advice is to get a flashlight that is able to use different battery type as its versatile in case you forgot to charge the light. Since AA batteries can be found easily.
Nice, dear plz guide can i use this Battery NL1416R in MT21A flash Light its same size and option 2x AA battery?
Hi, i wanted to ask and confirm if Nitecore sells Tailcap replacement for this model?
Thanks.🙂
I'm choosing between nitecore mt2a pro vs p10i flashlights. Advise me what is better?
Determine the intended use of the flashlight. For EDC, something rechargeable would probably work best. I use a traditional battery operated torch for travel and to keep in the car with backup batteries.
(I wrote this and changed my mind! Now I suggest starting with TWO lights! The first should be a low power, wide angle headlamp! In an emergency you need BOTH hands free! ) THEN 😁(!) my advice is to not fall for the "brightest light for the money" mistake. You should be buying a SYSTEM, not just a light. 1) Buy at least a second battery. You never have to wait hours for a charge. 2) Do you need an extra car charger or cable? 3) Do you have to carry the light? Then you need some type of holster or the proper set-up on your gear, thigh pack, back pack etc..... KNOW Your USE! Are you a tactical ninja or working search & rescue? Then why the hell are you buying a super high lumen spotlight? Why not look at a wider beam with lower settings for general use & checking under the hood or around the house during a blackout?
Good day sir. May I know if there is a nitecore tactical flashlight like my MH10s that has one button switch like my MH10s. Can you recommend one for me please. Thank you very much.
I'd say pocket ability is important, because if it's not comfortable in your pocket then you won't want to have it on you
I wonder if you can charge the battery with your phone or viceversa.
Thanks for all the great content. My advice to share: pay as much attention to lowest lumen level options as highest lumen level options. I get a lot of use out of the lowest lumen settings on my flashlights. Thanks again!
Can it be used with 2 Nitecore NL1410 batteries?
what are the compatible double AA Nitecore batteries for mt2a pro? lets per say nitcore double AA batts?
What knife was in the intro?
My one piece of advice for a first-time flashlight buyer would be: buy a Nitecore flashlight. A quality flashlight will last for years and never let you down.
how can i know if the mt2ap pro i bought is original
bring back the 4AA compact lights with adjustable brightness. I love those but now nowhere to be found.
4 x AA size would be larger than a 21700 battery and perform worst, so anything over 2 xAA I’d just recommend you go for 18650 or 21700 lights
they need to make a single aa version of this and i'd get it in a heartbeat
The output will be quite low though, what kind of brightness would you want it to be at?
yeah i understand. around 500lm is perfect@@NitecoreSG
@@NitecoreSGI'm honestly fine with about 300 lumens peak brightness. I'm actually looking for single NiMh AA based lights from a decent brand, with the ability to use 14500, but also has a moonlight mode of less than 10 lumens, ideally 1 lumen on NiMh and can tail stand for room lighting. I find that less can be more with flashlights, I would rather have double run time over double brightness, simultaneously I would prefer 30 lumens over 300 for most night time tasks because I have a light that will last 10x as long. Higher peak brightness is great, but at a point your eyes just adjust and it doesn't always help. If I need a thrower flashlight I can typically plan for that. To be fair I'm mainly thinking about survival cases and natural disaster situations, and less so edc tasks.
My advice would be to actually start using a EDC light. I didn't realize how useful a flashlight was until I carried one with me all the time. Start carrying one that fits your pocket would be my advice. Always be ready.
I'm just wondering if this is allowed on the plane? Thank you
What is with me as a backup is MT21A
Malkoff all the way,
the finest lights in the world.not regulated ,no heat games. One switch in the tail ,great switch quality.all potted,2 power levels by turning the a head.
Hit the switch it gos on and off ,plain and simple.made one at a time.
What is the model of that nitecore pouch, bag towards the beginning of the video
NPP30 - www.nitecorelights.com/products/npp30-pocket-pouch
My advice is simply what do you need your light for, whats your budget and how easily can you get batteries for it or is it rechargeable etc
After that consult flashlight forums fir advice from serious light users
There's a light for everything and I love it, and I like this channel alot so interesting glad I found it, salamat 😊
🇺🇸🇲🇽
Can this flashlight run on a 1.2 volts NiMH AA rechargeable battery like Eneloop? because an alkaline AA battery runs on 1.5 volts.
The best AA light for me is still the Nitecore EA45S. Absolutely amazing light, beats everything else for me. Great ergonomic design, intuitive UI, 1000 lumens on AA. So sad that they discontinued it... I don't know why they did that. I bought three of them before stock disappeared.
Ya I have that too but it's big and more of a spotlight this is an AA edc
Best flashlight company I have ever owned. I own the New P12 and p10ix as edc, the tiki, the nu05. Looking to get more to fill my collections!! Any suggestions?
Get a P35i. After you have a light with the OLED display screen you want it on all of them. Mode, distance, voltage, lumens, and run time all displayed at a click. Liked it so much I ordered another one. If the P30i had the OLED display I’d probably buy one of those too. I have 3 P23i lights and wanted something with more distance and heat dissipation for longer run times.
Hello what is the brand of the powerbank you are using in the video? Thank you.
Shargeek storm2slim
No moonlight?
Im needing help finding a handheld flashlight.
Crazy but my job requires a strong handheld thats more of a spotlight style.
Need it to be able to reach out say 300 yards and punch though barriers.
Ideally not a $300 one either as chance the light will be lost, broken, or confiscated
Any help he
This sounds like a perfect fit - www.nitecorelights.com/mh25pro
My advice for someone getting into flashlights would be to go through the comments and look for some advice
Select a light that works for the use case. Most people benefit from small and floody rechargeable.
When a short version will be available? Just one 14500/aa battery
Not on the roadmap yet, at that size a TIKI or tini2 will be too similar. I doubt they will do one in AA
@@NitecoreSGtoo bad 😞. With a ui20 led will a good seller
No strobe?
I brought this 2 months ago , but now unable to use . The light went wrong, non stop flashing. Even recharge the original battery or get a new 2AA batteries. Help😅
@@heyyou8103 where did you get it from? Send it back to get it warrantied
My advice: Ignore the lumen wars, consider using the same battery type across all of your lights, seek simple user interface, and don't buy a light too precious to use (or let someone else use).
Word! Great points here.
So you’re telling me they’ve removed the Ability to instant access turbo or other modes etc and you just have to cycle between the two modes?
Yeap that’s how it works now
Can this flashlight take 14500 batteries?
Is this momentary-on forward clicky?
Or no-momentary-on reverse clicky?
Should be momentary on forward clicky, so it turns on when you press down, not release
@@NitecoreSG
I received my MT2A Pro light and this is definitely not the case. There is no momentary on feature, starting from off.
It has a reverse-clicky tail switch that must click twice (from one full press & release action) before the light will turn on.
My MT2A Pro is a reverse clicky. My Olight i5T plus is a forward clicky. I guess each type has it’s pros & cons. Also the former is a thrower with a well defined spot & spill, the latter a very nice diffused flood.
Advice, understand what your everyday use is. Do you really need 5 different modes or do you just need high and low?
My advice would be simple is better. A solid light that just shines is better than one with loads of bells and whistles.
My advice is... This light should've been made with the same type of tail cap as the SRT7i.
My advice is buy as many as u can, from spot search lights, to flood lights , to EDC indoor low light for concealment , when SHTF , it will be nice to have a good selection for your needs and buy extra batteries for each light
Asking why we need aa batteries still is privileged af tbh
Buy what will fit in your carry system. Because if it's to big, you won't carry it, then you won't have it when you want/need it.
Too bad the shipping cost for France is higher than the price of the headlight 😕thanks DHL
What is the power bank please? Thanks
That’s the sharge storm2slim
@@NitecoreSG thank you
I'm going to wait until Nitecore sells spare batteries.
I absolutely love all the flashlight inovations. My issue is all the proprietary batteries. Yea you can run it on AA but I wish there was a better standardized battery for these. If the assumption is im going to run it on AA most of the time then there are less expensive options withiut the proprietary batteries. It is cool though. And inexpensive enough I might just have to get one despite my gripe with it
I'm a CNC machinist and use flashlights everyday it's hard to find a good light I can use everyday and not be all bulky in my pocket.
Keep it simple. Maybe a high/low only.
what about using this flashlight 🔦 in medical business / purposes ❓
is it not bright 🔆 in mouth 👄 examination ❓
Does this product have PWN control?
Yes, you can see on camera that there’s no pulsing on all of the lighting modes.
Do you ship to India?
Not at the moment, tax is too high to ship anything over
@@NitecoreSG ok, thanks
My advice is buy 2 flashlights. 2 is 1 and 1 is none. Also more expensive doesnt always mean better. EDC today too many people just buy what is "cool". Function over cool factor. Fresh Prince mom said it best "you go to school to learn not for a fashion show"
If forward clicky would be better
