Are lights today overbuilt and overcomplicated? So, would you get one? MT1C PRO - 1000 lumens - www.nitecorelights.com/mt1cpro MT2C PRO - 1800 lumens - www.nitecorelights.com/mt2cpro
10 years ago I got a maglitexl 100. It had a giroscope so I could use only 1 button and adjust the brightness by just twisting it on the air. If something can get me what I need adjusted fast and efficiently I think its worth it. The new ones are like swiss army knives so just look for the best one for your task and get it, you deserve it.
If I wanted a quote of 6700 units of the MT2C PRO from you. Why is it not possible to get that quote without being referred to your agent in my country?
I have both. I favor the MT2C for the obvious reasons ie larger battery, longer run time, etc. But the other reason is that the MT2C stays cooler than the MT1C. Both are still great tools and have their place. I have a personal collection of Nitecore lights numbering over 32 at present. I find the Nitecore my favorite brand of tactical, long running and long lasting lights.
@@DJNicShogunyou like Fenix better? I had a Fenix TK35, I miss it, now I'm using armytek wizard, and I just love it but I need another light, thinking of a good one for a woman's purse perhaps one tactical and one to keep in the glovevox
I would love one of these. I live in a bad neighborhood, and a lot of the lights are complicated. These seem simple. I love NITECORE you guys are the best❤
I would get both, MT1C Pro would never leave my pocket since it has a type-c port on the battery, I could charge it almost anytime/anywhere, same goes with the MT2C Pro but it would be on my bag most of the time. I love it both! Such a reliable rugged light and does most of the job, lightweight and sometimes all we need is a simple high and low. ❤ Thank you, Nitecore for the opportunity to win this beautiful lights.
I'm a university student who walks home through dark, dangerous areas after late classes. I've often wished for an EDC light for both safety and self-defense in emergencies. As a civil engineering intern, I also need a light for night shifts to monitor concrete work. I hope to win this MT2C pro light, which would be incredibly useful for me. Thanks to Nitecore Singapore for showcasing these high-quality lights that benefit people like me ❤ 6:326:34
I own both of these NC MT Pro lights and many more by many brands in many sizes that use many different battery types with different features and different output levels in different tints and they all serve a different purpose and fill a different role. That being said, these new UHi LED lights have become my favorite and I would LOVE to have spares and extras on hand as backups. Nice work, Nitecore! Color me impressed!!
I have been on the hunt for an new edc light now for a while. For all the reasons you mentioned in the video, the over engineering of the lights often is the main downfall to the lights. But I can comfortably say that I found the light that I have been looking for. As a security officer, you need to know what your equipment will do at all times, making the Mt2c absolutely perfect for only having 2 brightness settings and the light always turning on in the brightest setting. The fact that the batteries are removable also makes the light amazing for longer shifts. I really hope for winning the MT2C as it would really be perfect for all my needs. Thank you for always bringing great and honest content.
I would probably get both for sure. The compactness and the brightness are just some of the reasons why I would get both and plus it's nitecore. A quality light built to last long.
I have commented also on others vids regards how it would be useful to me, this one, can served as a back to my preps and volunteer work(mentioned in other vid) having redundancies can save me times, resources and even lives. It could be given out to others to use or to lit up another situation. Thanks nitecore!
Would gladly to have both, but MT1C Pro will always be the priority since it packed with a suffice brightness and juice for my daily plant maintenance check routine. What I love the most is the type c port battery, where I find it convenient as I can charge the spare on the run. And of course the petit size is one of the selling point here aswell, as I'm not into a bulky EDC. Thought it would be a great pair to have it with my Helikon Tex Possum. While MT2C Pro best use for a weekend camping with family and friends.
What more is there to say? You have explained every possible reason perfectly for anyone to get either light. For me, I lost it at Nitecore! The new UHIs are just massive. And the pricing on these new lights is just too good to resist. Thanks, buddy, your videos keep getting better since you began.
@NitecoreSG Here's a curious question, if you don't mind answering, it would really clear my curiosity. I was meddling with my lights and I realised not all button cover have that 'N' on it. Why is that? Tq.
The nice thing about the Acebeam Terminator M2-X is that you can have spotlight and flood on at the same time to help with that spill issue. It is always great to have both as an option and Wurkkos headlights HD50 and HD15 have that too whereas my old favorite Fenix HM71R can only do one or the other and the Perun 3 is flood only.
I use a Klarus XT12GT for my main work back, and a Klarus XT1C as my pocket EDC, they have been extremely useful, and have served me well for probably 3 or 4 years! Bought them as a reward to myself to replace a crappy zoomie after a project (got some bonuses after all the OT i put in) Seems like these 2 lights are perfect replacements for both the Klarus lights i own 😍
The MT1C & 2C Pro are both some of my favourite EDC lights currently. One button controls & alot of power for the compact size, great to carry in the pocket. Personally I like the 2C best, as it's only slightly bigger while having a substantial bump in performance & runtime. These new releases from Nitecore have been excellent.
Recently bought the MT2C and I have to say this is a self defense, short use flashlight. It gets extremely hot very fast, they should made it bigger so the hot disipate better
I bought the Nitecore SRT 7 about 10 years ago , i have used it alot but keeps on kickn ! I love the adjustable brightness and wondering if there's a new version of this awesome light .
I have my best recommendation, it is the SMILING SHARK SD 5028. It's only USD 1. Got 2 rechargeable battery (only need 1 to power the flashlight). Super bright, 3 modes, usb C port, etc.
These would be great lights to replace the ones I use to fly. The MT1C Pro would fit into the shoulder pocket of my flight suit, while the MT2C Pro will be a great light to keep in my flight bag for outfield pre-flight checks, and if I need it for emergencies after landing. Nice to know I can get them locally.
I would need a MT1C PRO. As a night shift nurse in a large, sprawling facility, a reliable EDC light with long-range coverage is essential to navigate dark areas and ensure patient safety across the extensive space I work in. As it is very pocketable and does not weight too much.
I am in need of a small flashlight for my child who attends an art class across the road, approximately 200 meters from our home. She is passionate about art and insists on attending the class even after school hours, which usually ends between 7:30 pm and 8:00 pm when it's dark. She often walks home by herself. A small flashlight would serve not only to light her path but also as a safety tool to signal her presence to others, including drivers. In the event of an encounter with hostile strangers, a powerful light could also act as a means of defense. While our neighborhood is generally safe, it's wise to be prepared for unforeseen circumstances. Although the two models here are professional-grade, I believe they would be suitable for everyday use by anyone. I am happy to get one of these for her and another is for another person who needs the flashlight.
I've been carrying my MH20 every day for ~10 years (same battery)...but it's starting to show its age and have been looking for a replacement. I'd probably be happy with either one those
Just wondering ... Can the MT2C Pro take 16340 batteries n if so ... What's the brightness level on it? I don't need 1800 lumens haha... But I do like the look n length n also that it's just high n low mode
My golly you guys did it😎👍... Perfect... the only thing that's missing that I always look for in a EDC light other than the high low it would be nice to have an optional red light of some sort so I don't have to carry an external smaller red light
I understand the step down in output for the MT2C Pro head if put on the smaller body; what happens to the MT1C Pro head on the longer body? Will it max out at 1000 lumens or increase, or will the additional battery power damage the emitter?
I have bought a lot of nitecore flashlights as photo props for my products. Just hard to find one that does it all. For me I've found that it comes down to finding the right flashlight for the right gear which in turn the gear will be grabbed for the right task. I recently got the EDC25 and impressed by the form factor and output but the battery is less than ideal. My P20ix lasts longer and much better output but form factor isn't as fun to carry. So I just want quality and do well for what it's primary focus is for. Keep it simple because you'll always need to buy different styles for different use cases.
Not going to lie, I really like having a 300-500 lumen mode for walking in the woods or looking for deer in the woods. For me, if the Nitecore EDC 33 or 35 had replaceable batteries and dropped the super low 5 lumen mode they would be perfect for me. I also really like the mt2a pro, 3 level cycleing is perfect.
Id go the MT2C Pro as i would want the longer run time of the 18650 battery. MT1C would be nice for how compact it is though giving great size to power ratio!
My current 1000 lumens pocket thrower is the Acebeam Tac AA, so the MT1C Pro is not interesting for me. The MT2C pro however is, because it is just a tad bigger than the Acebeam but nearly double the output and range!
Sound legit. But I’m still not sold by the charging method Yes, it’s submersible. But I prefer to charge it through usb C port at the flashlight. Well, I might be wrong. Maybe I’ll change my mind if I have one and try it for a couple of times, either MT1C Pro or MT2C Pro.
If there was a version that took a 21700, would absolutely get one. Otherwise waiting & hoping for a update to the MH10 line or an E4K that takes regular 21700s instead of high drain ones.
Ilove watching your videos. Your the reason why ibought the tip se and the mh12pro since i need it for the night when goin home. But now my daughther need a flash light of her own coz its dark and dangerous coz sometimes shes coming home late from shool. Shes a college student now. Ihope she could win coz she love the mt1c pro. Small but powerful.
Forgot to make it turn on momentarily/ half press to turn on and full press to leave it on and i would prefer low 10L med 150L and high 300 L maybe you guys should have options, maybe we can pick our own liking and setup
As a diesel tech, the first two minutes of this video really hit me. Do not over complicate things just because you can. A flashlight does not need to conect to my toaster and fridge.
i have the edc27 and i love it but i really want the replaceable battery feature. the mt1c and 2c pro almost fit my needs, except they dont have a strobe feature. is there something in the same size range that does that?
