3300 Lumen High Lumen Flashlight
The Nitecore MH12 Pro rechargeable flashlight is incredibly bright yet still compact enough to serve as a duty light to carry every day. With its innovative UHi 40 LED from NiteLab, the MH12 Pro boasts a 3300 lumen output and a 552 yard throw, farther than 4 football fields length added together. You'll be well-prepared for any situation with its five brightness levels, as well as strobe, beacon, and SOS modes. The MH12 Pro features a Tactical Mode with five lighting settings and strobe, while the Daily Mode offers the same settings plus a Beacon and SOS mode. Level indicators beside the mode button will help you identify the current brightness level. Moreover, the MH12 Pro includes a built-in optical sensor that automatically reduces brightness when it detects an obstruction at close range to prevent blinding reflection or overheating.
USB-C Rechargeable
The MH12 Pro comes with a high-capacity 5300mAh battery and can be rapidly charged through its built-in USB-C port. Power indicators next to the mode button display the remaining battery level. Once fully charged, the MH12 Pro can achieve a maximum runtime of over 650 hours on its lowest mode.
Sturdy and Dependable
Crafted from aero-grade aluminum alloy with an HA III hard-anodized finish, boasting an IP68 waterproof rating, and featuring advanced temperature regulation, the MH12 Pro is an indispensable companion day in and day out. Whether you're using it for daily tasks, patrolling, or camping and hiking, the MH12 Pro is equipped for any environment.

The Teal tint is unforgivable, makes the SFT70 look neutral.

[@SOMNIOHM]

_I'll just say it... the SFT70 IS rather neutral! (unless your a high CRI addict)._ _The SFT line of LED's is nearly as good as it gets for tint in this style/chassis/light application!_ *_That being said.. the greenish-teal tint here is absolutely overwhelming.. I cannot wait to see the .2 version of this!_*

[@wesolowskimatt]

I said it before, I'll say it now... Nitecore advertises 1200 lumens for 4.5 hours on turbo, but in reality it is less than 700 lumens for about 2 hours and 15 minutes, after step down from 1200, which lasts half an hour. Plus an additional 15 minutes around 300 lumens and 45 minutes between 100 and 150 lumens. In total about 3 hours 43 minutes.

I ordered this 3 times. 2 x Aliexpress 1x Amazon. Shipper unable to ship. I hope to reorder again sometime. Good luck getting one.

[@boo5ted99]

Good looking light but why does everything Nitecore make have an ugly green or blue led in it? Some warmer options would be nice.

[@rayoflight62]

If Nitecore use warmer tints of LED, they will get complaint of their flashlights being too dim. A warm tinted LED, say 5000 °K, will have 15% less lumens of a blueish/greenish LED, but HALF of the candelas. As the market is after the highest flux and illumination numbers, they have no choice with the type of LED utilised in their lights...

[@boo5ted99]

​@@rayoflight62 😂 Not really. There are new emitters on the market that have just as high of output as the cold white that Nitecore uses.

[@user-xu4xw4wl6j]

Когда будет налобник с таким дальним и ближним светом?

[@supbrohan]

On tactical mode, can you go straight to moonlight, and what output level is next after moonlight if you click the side switch?

[@FLASHAHOLIC_TV]

Yes, moon still available, and it cycles to straight Turbo.

[@LV-42617]

No you can't go to moonlight in tactical mode. It always starts with turbo, to activate moonlight you have to press and hold tail switch AND side switch at once.

[@LV-42617]

Thanks for the effort making this video 👍. I have the MH12 Pro and the MH12 SE and honestly I prefer the MH12 SE. The 100 meter further throw and the 1500 lumens more of the Pro are nice on paper, but don't mean much in the real world. The beam of the SE is more focused and the color is perfect neutral white while the beam of the Pro is wider along with the greenish/yellowish tint it simply don't deliver more based on my experience. But much more important is that the Pro steps down quickly from 3300 lumens to 1200 after about 20 seconds, while the SE holds its 1800 lumens for about 2 minutes which is far more practical. Granted, the Pro can (wobbling) tail stand and the side switch and LED rows left and right are definitely an improvement over the SE. But that is simply not enough to dethrone the SE and whenever I tend to grab a long throwing compact light, the SE is my first choice.

[@FLASHAHOLIC_TV]

A lot of people think the Pro would have been the light of the year if it wasn't for the unfeasibly green tint!

[@LV-42617]

@@FLASHAHOLIC_TV I think Nitecore will get the tint (and hopefully the heat management as well) right with the next version. The MH12 Pro is still an excellent light and if one do not have already a similar light it certainly is worth considering. But the Pro is also the hard proof, that newer doesn't always mean better.

[@wayofthesamurai90]

I wonder how much that green tint is noticable in real life.

[@collectorman7]

qu'elle est la distance max ? vous dites 545 mètres puis ensuite 428 mètres ? qu'elle est la vraie distance de lancé en mode turbo et en high au final ? Merci .

[@LV-42617]

The real usable distance is - as a rule of thumb - about one third of the manufacturers claim. Lights of that size have a usable distance of 130-170 meters and that's it. Anything further is on the paper only.

[@BruceWayne-du8ue]

Same old same old, side switch has no use unless the tail switch is pressed. I was expecting better. No significant improvement other than led indicators, proximity sensor, lumens and body construction. Im sticking with my MH12SE and P10i for the meantime. Great overview by the way!

[@FLASHAHOLIC_TV]

It definitely makes lights cumbersome to use when you're switching from the rear switch to the front and are holding something with the other hand.

[@hisokaf6793]

Its like wearing belt and suspenders.

[@rafaeltardelle]

I agree. Interface and operating mode of Sofirn SP35T is much better and the side button works individually. Another unpleasant detail of this Nitecore is that horrible green light

[@JazCas86]

Maybe you can help me. Im sure you might have a nitecore p10ix or p10i comes with The holster the NTH10 plastic holster. If you do, can you please check if the MH12 pro fits. I would really appreciate it 🙏

[@chowking02]

is there a way (or setting) to quickly access strobe with the tail switch?

[@LV-42617]

Only if you had strobe on before. It will remember strobe as your last setting.

[@rayoflight62]

From a lighting point of view, the MH12 Pro has two problems: the energy in the side spill is excessive with respect to the energy emitted in the hotspot; this reduces the contrast of distant objects. Also, the knurling on the body of the flashlight is also excessive, as it damages the clothes when you clip the light on them. That knurling is perfect in case you wear tactical gloves, though...

[@Spolt_main]

Haven't had either of these issues honestly, the spill/throw balance is honestly perfect for a dual purpose light. The actual issue with this light is the false advertising saying it holds 1,200 lumens for 4.5 hours, when it's actually a 600 lumen light for like 4 hours of that.

[@souporlouis]

Edit: IP68 my mistake you are correct!!

[@FLASHAHOLIC_TV]

This is a Nitecore, it will be approx 2m as long as you don't press the switch whilst submerged or leave it under too long.. Only diving lights tend to support that feature.

[@IIKI0]

Ooof that tint 🤢 it was this this light or the TN 12 pro for me but the tint is killing it for me. Otherwise a well rounded light, with a nice beam profile

A beautiful flashlight with very interesting led indicators, great power, but it lost ALL its beauty with that HORRIBLE green hue 😞👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻

[@FLASHAHOLIC_TV]

Deffo agree. Damn close to a great light. Needs tint work and the rear switch sacking off.

[@rayoflight62]

The green hue is a consequence of using a LED bin with absolute top efficiency (Lumen / Watt). A perfectly cyan tinted LED could lose up to 1000 lumen from the top 3300 lumen emitted by the MH12 Pro. On CPF, when the Luxeon and Seoul P4 first appeared, we used to say of green tinted LED - offensively - to be of a "pee green" colour. No flashaholic likes a greenish LED bin; but we understand that it is the price to pay for top Lumens...
