For the record, I have lights that encompass everything from budget lights to high end lights like those made by SureFire. I have a number of other Nitecore products as well. So why add another one?Up to 1,000 lumens in a pen light was irresistible. I always carry at least two lights, one being a keychain light and the other is normally worn in a belt holster. There are times however, when a more discreet carry is called for. That may be a penlight. Now to be fair, this is on the larger wide for a penlight.Compared to a Streamlight Sylus...To accommodate the larger lithium battery pack and the AA batteries...It is probably about 40% wider than the Stylus. It is also slightly longer. Be sure top read the specifications so that you know what you are buying. A Stylus you can easily hide in a suit coat. This light.....Not quite as easy to conceal.But what you trade off in size you gain in brightness. The light is solidly built in typical Nitecore tradition. The body has a unique knurling that works well for me. Be sure to look at the product images so you know what you are buying. I seem to recall a few people saying that they felt the knurling was too aggressive. I do not find that to be the case.The tail cap mounted switch works well with a firm feel and good feedback, but it is a reverse clicky with no monetary function. While I prefer a forward clicky....This was a trade of I was willing to accept. For that reason I did not deduct any stars. If this is a deal breaker for you then do not order this light. Perhaps they will offer something different in the future.The tail cap is also design for free standing an for a lanyard. That means that the switch is partially covered / two sides are covered by the tail standing metal. This is another feature that I do not like, but I purchased the light knowing this so no stars deducted. Access to the switch itself is still good but...It may be more difficult if you are wearing winter gloves.The beam profile is one with a distinct and moderate sized hot spot with generous side spill. There is a ring or two that will not affect normal use, but if you are a white wall hunter you will most likely not be pleased. The tint is on the cool side of neutral but not horribly so. The belt clip is bi directional and removable. It is in the box and not installed at delivery. The battery is accessible by removing the tail cap. The threads are cleanly cut and lubricated. The O ring was also lubricated at assembly.Overall...,I am very pleased with the light. While there are some negative aspects, the availability of 1,000 lumens (500 when AA powered) is hard to resist, especially at the stated run times. On the run times...Keep in mind that thermal management is in play, so how long the light will produce those high end lumens will depend on the conditions at the time of use as the light will reduce its output as its temperature climbs to protect itself.I have already used this light verifying that there were no skunks living under our deck. Its small formfactor (For a light capable of this output) made it much easier to get under there. I love having this much power in a form factor that is MUCH smaller than most typical 1,000 lumen lights. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Torch *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 2 January 2026* Great small light weight torch, great beam ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect EDC flashlight *by on Reviewed in Canada 13 March 2024* Pros:The size of an AA penlight with the power of a much larger flashlight that uses an 18650 battery. This flashlight is rated at 1,000 lumens max. I tested it against my other 1,000 lumen flashlights that use 18650 batteries and it was slightly brighter, It definitely puts out at least 1,000 actual lumens . The beam is perfect. The beam color and beam shape are also perfect. Not a square bluish light beam but a round natural white color light beam. The gripping etching is also perfect, not sharp as some others have criticized that it would cut their shirt pocket. The two way removable clip is also designed very well. With a flat end cap it can be stood on end and function as an area light. Also able to use regular or rechargeable AA batteries instead of the specialty battery supplied. Using regular AA batteries the flashlight is still very bright (500 lumens).Cons:None, as far as I am concerned. The perfectly designed EDC pocket flashlight. ## Frequently Bought Together - Nitecore MT2A Pro EDC Flashlight, 1000 Lumen, USB-C Rechargeable, 2X AA Battery Compatible Slim Penlight, Including NitecoreS Sticker - Nitecore NL1416R 1600mAh USB-C Rechargeable Battery for MT2A Pro Flashlight with Sticker - Nitecore MT1A Pro 800 Lumen EDC Flashlight Penlight, Compatible with 1x AA Battery.
