A big, powerful torch with a long throw and onboard charging, the Nitecore MH40GTR Rechargeable LED Flashlight is a solid lighting tool for law enforcement, search and rescue, and outdoor recreation. Outputs range from 15 lumens on low to 1200 lumens on turbo and include 1200-lumen strobe and SOS functions for emergencies. The light uses two 18650 or four CR123 batteries, and it's easy to plug in to the sleeve-protected port for a recharge.
Power and brightness levels are controlled with the push-button tailcap switch—in Turbo mode, click straight to turbo, and in User-Defined mode, customize your click access to high, medium, low, SOS, and strobe. Twist the flashlight's head to change modes. The large head accommodates a 2.4" Precision Digital Optic Technology reflector that throws the beam far downrange. The aluminum housing is built for the rigors of daily use and has a scratch- and corrosion-resistant hard-anodized finish. The MH40GTR is rated impact resistant to 3.3 feet and is IPX8-rated to be submersible to a depth of up to 6.6'. Use the light with the included removable tactical ring that installs on the handle for various tactical hold techniques. A charging adapter and two Li-ion rechargeable 18650 batteries are included, but the light's circuitry enables it to also run on disposable batteries.
