Designed with military and law-enforcement use in mind, the MH12GTS Multitask Hybrid Series Rechargeable LED Flashlight is a powerful pocket-sized light that is as small as most backup lights but powerful enough to use as a primary EDC illuminator. Its output comes from a white Cree XHP35 HD LED with five outputs from 1 to 1800 lumens. Power (constant-on or momentary) is controlled by the tailcap switch, while brightness level and strobe, location beacon, and SOS signal modes are controlled using an intelligent selector switch on the body. The switch remembers the last output intensity used and automatically goes to that output level the next time it is turned on, even with momentary activation.
Built for durability, this light features an aluminum housing with a Type III hard-anodized finish that resists scratching and corrosion. It is O-ring sealed with an IPX8 rating for submersion to 6.6' and is impact resistant to 5 feet. The light runs on one 18650 rechargeable battery and has an integrated charging port to enable powering up the battery while it is in the light for additional convenience. In a pinch, the light will run on two CR123A disposable batteries, but with reduced runtimes. Reverse-polarity protection circuitry prevents damage to the light's circuitry if the batteries are put in incorrectly, over-heat protection circuitry automatically steps down the output if the light gets too hot, and fins machined into the head help to dissipate heat.
