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.

[@Lee-lb9qh]

NITECORE is Killin it, by far best light brand on the market

[@Richard_Barnes]

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. 👍🏻

[@mikelgeymsige8987]

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.

[@STARHEXALKNIVES]

Love my old mt2a i buy it 2019 and now still running perfectly .. good for edc light

[@x0rZ15t]

I like the previous non-pro version. My defense EDC. One turbo mode, no hassle, only press once in stressful situations. Perfect!

[@blablayourneeds]

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.

[@Doublebasso]

My advice: try every single flashlight you can and buy that flashlight you liked more. Because life is given to us only once.

[@jcharles-12]

Nice light I like it, its always good to have battery option, charging downtime, camping, power outage etc

[@CtFshd1812]

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.

[@anwarramzan4849]

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.

[@alexrann2268]

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.

[@0bserver416]

My advise for the first time purchase would be - 'buy just one good headlamp". 😊 Preferably from Nitecore. 😊

[@presidentadrian]

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.

[@offgridlife1362]

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

[@Spolt_main]

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. 😂

[@tre4tre632]

My best advice would be to understand what purpose you want for you light and understand that it may change/grow

[@chriscerta9821]

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!!

[@konstantinosk5632]

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.

[@porscheguy19]

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.

[@TobyCostaRica]

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.

[@hansdavis7335]

Im stuck with picking one from bigger flashlights or small but bulky ones from brands like sofirn, supfire, wurrkos and etc. Im a medical worker and sometimes need a penlight with a minimum output so as to not blind my patients but a decent enough one to give me good visibility from blackouts (yes our province experiences power outages in the regular and at random), almost decided to buy one big one and a small pen type until i saw this bad boy. Im also a fan of tactical style flashlights, so this sticks up my alley very nicely. I just need to save up a bit so i could buy a spare battery too or just 2 of these for backup. No nonsense controls too so another plus from the insane output.

[@nicolasfieldsoundservices]

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.

[@BOOSTEDLASER]

I WISH NITECORE WOULD INCLUDE RUN TIME GRAPHS FOR EACH LIGHT....LIKE FENIX

[@JohnDoe-zg6fn]

Meh, doesn't really matter. Nitecore is better than Fenix.

[@EssPhour]

per their site: MODE LUMENS RUNTIME DISTANCE INTENSITY High 1000 1h 30min 255m 16,500 cd Mid 300 2h 45min 148m 5,500 cd Low 50 20h 58m 846 cd High (AA Battery) 500 2h 188m 8,890 cd Low (AA Battery) 60 11h 68m 1,170 cd

[@JethroLampitt]

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

[@NitecoreSG]

Great points! Appreciate it

[@allemander]

Best advice for buying only one light: Choose what model suits your needs most, but make sure it comes from a well-established manufacturer.

[@lwonbfh77]

The only advice for a first time flashlight buyer is to but a Nitecore!

[@nickprague1481]

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.

[@davidhinks1284]

That's amazing throw and brightness for such a small light

[@nightfall22]

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.

[@omknj]

First time flashlight advice - definitely a simple light like Inforce TFx handheld.

[@jgichnoo]

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.

[@user-wd1vd9du2q]

I prefer to use replaceable batteries if I’m going to be out in the field and using my light! Now if I’m going to be getting back to the house daily, I would use rechargeable batteries! What’s the name and maker of that blade? Great video sir!

[@tomthb8439]

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...

[@Dan_Hazard]

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

[@Dan_Hazard]

There's a light for everything and I love it, and I like this channel alot so interesting glad I found it, salamat 😊 🇺🇸🇲🇽

[@snesleywipessqueegeeservices]

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.

[@cherophobia_monophobia]

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

[@jtee9548]

(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?

[@StarnaessGacha]

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

[@joytheicecream2252]

Thank you for this review , NG! Bought 01 cause of your gr8 review!!

[@NitecoreSG]

Glad to hear!

[@iamgaryaustin]

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).

[@NitecoreSG]

Word! Great points here.

[@Gieszkanne]

Great hopefully there will be also a MT1 A Pro soon that works with a single 14500 battery.

[@lookupyouaredead]

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

[@pixel_lag_2595]

A good light as a backup

[@zaindemarte9334]

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

[@Justmyopinionlol]

bring back the 4AA compact lights with adjustable brightness. I love those but now nowhere to be found.

[@NitecoreSG]

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

[@ky_frank4992]

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.

[@gl7431]

This looks like another winner for nitecore

[@NitecoreSG]

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.

[@Madman6505]

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.

[@kenkl5204]

Love the dual battery style on the pro.

[@rjhood80]

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.

[@zazeechmoreno]

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!

[@Zachari94]

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

[@arindambhattacharjee1121]

I definitely love my fenix PD32v2... But I have to order this flashlight soon.

[@Atzenman80]

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.

[@spartanj2957]

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.

[@kalisti2323]

Is there a date for the UK store? The light looks fantastic btw!

[@chriscerta9821]

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?

[@happyamerican3235]

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.

[@user-ft4dx5eq8l]

[@danielc.1169]

Wish they made colors like olights , I prefer nitecore lights but sure like some colors

[@Klassicgandmore]

I got rechargeable flashlights and i like them even the rechargeable heychain light i got they got long beams and have many settings

[@mr.frandy7692]

they need to make a single aa version of this and i'd get it in a heartbeat

[@NitecoreSG]

The output will be quite low though, what kind of brightness would you want it to be at?

[@mr.frandy7692]

yeah i understand. around 500lm is perfect@@NitecoreSG

[@Spolt_main]

​@@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.

[@Danyang1]

Advice, understand what your everyday use is. Do you really need 5 different modes or do you just need high and low?

[@lornelorne5727]

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.

[@Lee-lb9qh]

Ya I have that too but it's big and more of a spotlight this is an AA edc

[@kevinwittig]

Select a light that works for the use case. Most people benefit from small and floody rechargeable.

[@danielc.1169]

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

[@monza8844]

Misleading.... you only get the 1000 lumen with a NL1416R battery

[@soufiekhairuddin9118]

[@LordMarksman14]

I'm going to wait until Nitecore sells spare batteries.

[@kiwiperspective8656]

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.

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.

[@user-sv6uh1gn2d]

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.

[@fredwillemse]

My advice would be: Buy an EDC (Every Day Carry) light, small and light. For daily use I think 500+ lumen is more than enough. OT:I have (had) a lot of flashlights and an AA versie is missing because of the capacity of AA batteries. However, I agree with your argument to buy it as a backup light. AA's are easily available anywhere in the world and it would make a perfect addition to my bug out bag. Thanks!

[@eugeneang]

If I had only one advice for those buying a flashlight for the first time..... Don't buy a cheap flashlight. Buy a Nitecore flashlight. 😉 I know it's tempting to save money, but when it comes to flashlights, you get what you pay for. A cheap flashlight will likely be made with low-quality materials and won't last long. It may also not be very bright or have a good beam pattern and use stupid UI. Whether you need a flashlight for everyday use, outdoor activities, or professional applications, Nitecore has a flashlight that's perfect for you. And because Nitecore flashlights use rechargeable batteries, you'll save money in the long run and reduce your environmental impact. (Did I mention about their warranty?)😉
