Something that was left off about the MH25 PRO is that it has 2 different programming modes. The default is the “Daily Mode” that memorizes the last used brightness setting. The other mode is “Tactical Mode” that always activates the light in Turbo mode. I’ve been evaluating this light now for the last 4 months on duty and have it set to tactical mode. Strobe is useless in the real world, and nothing is worse than your light coming on in a dim setting when you need to light the place up. For those reasons, having the side mode selection switch that cannot be accidentally bumped when turning the light on is a plus. If I need to reduce the light output, I can step it down with that side switch. If I suddenly need to immediately illuminate something, I can just cycle the light off and on with the tail switch to get full brightness. There are no double or triple tap modes to accidentally activate. To get to strobe mode, you have to hold down the side switch for several seconds after activating the light. I find that to be a good thing since it is difficult to accidentally activate. I have also found myself really appreciating the “UltraLow” mode that is accessed by first pressing and holding the side switch and then turning on the light with the tail switch. This has been really useful for looking for something I may have dropped in my car without destroying my night vision. In the end, I think my Stinger 2020 will be returning to my duty belt with this going in the SAP pocket as a long range thrower. The Stinger can output a lot of light over a long period of time, but it has significantly less candela. I’ve been really liking the MH25 PRO so far for its beam distance and ability to always turn on at full brightness.
I have all 3 of these. If I had to pick a Favorite it would be The Nitecore or The Olight Javelot. If forced to pick One of these. It would be the Olight Javelot. Overall it is the Best One of them
I have all 3 as well if the nitecore could be turned on and off with the side switch I would love it don’t like having to fumble around with it to use the tail switch to turn it on and off,my favorite is the javalot I like the magnetic charging don’t like messing around with the USB-C cord, trying to get it in the hole especially at night when it’s hard to see. Olight always seems to be lagging behind in the Lumans department but they are my favorite. Looking at the wurkkos ts22 good reviews 4300 lumans decent ui 55 bucks..keep saying I’m done buying flashlights but doesn’t seem to work always looking.
Such a stupid comment... Nitecore side switch only changes modes like most flashlights using 2 switches. I own over 30 flashlights, been watching thousands of rewiews for years and only some Olights and all scum double switch Klarus use the side switch to turn it off. Normally the side switch is able to turn it on/off when it's the only switch.
The Fenix pd36r pro doesn't fit a sh*t in this comparison. You have 2 good throwers over 700 m and then you bring a mix beam with 380 m... Did you ran out of throwers by that time?
Olight is the fisher price of flashlights. They claim high lumens but when you pull them out. You quickly see it's all gimmicks. Magnet priority charging is a no go. I don't need to carry extra wires. I already carry USB type c like a normal person.
La Fenix sin ser lanzadora es realmente buena, la luz es increíble junto con su construcción. Fenix 👍🏾

MH25 PRO For the Win!

What about the nitecore p23i?
The PD36R Pro is mad underrated. You have to try it out!

The search for the perfect EDC is never ending.
The Nitecore takes the win. Killer torch...
Olight 1300 lumen, nitecore 3000 lumens... Not a compareable about heat dissipation...
Nitecore side switch is so weird even the reviewer forgot it doesn’t turn the light off.
