This is the exact flash light for my job, now i can inspect properly the GE 90 engines and the vertical stabilizer of Boeing 777. MH12S is the best flash light ever.. thank u nitecore... Keep making the best.
I bought this light a few days ago and it arrived today. It is now charging and light is blinking blue. I was looking for a video that showed the charging function and light signal on full charge. After watching several other videos, yours was the first one to explain this fully. You also talked about the traffic cone as well whereas none of the others had this accessory available to show. Thanks for the comprehensive overview on this light! Your spoken content was clear, great English, no halting speech and very well thought out. I look forward to using and adding to my collection.
I have owned it. It is absulotely the best EDC light currently. Right now, Nitecore is the only manufacture that produces the best flashlights that I trust.
@@seftioksim8140 I tried. It is a little loose, but the light will work. The light will be interrupted if you swing it, and you can hear the battery clicking. Note that if you do not use high drain 18650, you will probably get same output in both 1050lm and 1800lm mode, meaning that there will be no turbo.
Finally! A light with both day to day and tactical functionality, in a decent sized package with a whopping big NON PROPRIETARY battery. Last light I found that ticked all the boxes like this was the Olight M2R. But I wasn't a fan of the magnetic tail cap.
I have a number of Nitcore lights with a tactical tail switch, plus a side switch and I feel that the design mistake that was made is to provide only mode changes with the side switch, as it cannot be turned on or off from the side switch. This means that you are constantly changing hand positions. If I want EDC carry over tactical carry I must go to tactical should level hold to work the back button. I prefer a light, like Olight, where the user has a choice of using fully, either the side switch for nighttime walking or tactical hold at shoulder height. Seems with Nitecore, it is "either or." Currently own, thanks to your reviews: P30 new, E4K, MT10C, MH12S and P20i.
I have the MH12GTS and its the best light I have ever owned. GovX had this light on sale and I just ordered it. Probably gonna run it as a backup in my patrol car.
If anyone is on the fence, buy this. It is blinding and the battery will last forever. I work as a delivery driver and after the sun goes down this is the best light I have found
I'm on the market for a new duty flashlight. My first stop; Amazon. From there, I narrow it down to my battery of choice, then, Amazon reviews and finally, TH-cam. I am so glad YT returned your review as one of the top ones. Many shitty ones and again, I'm glad I kept scrolling until I found yours. Very thorough, hit everything I needed to know plus the very useful accessories that I wouldn't otherwise known about. Many thanks!
just wondering, since i have the MH12s and MH10s.... everything about the lights are awesome, everything but the clip. when will you improve and possibly send out a better clip where the other end actually touches the flashlight with good retention? so far the clip is loose and does not grip anything. i know you have the holster and it's great but for the MH10s i would love to use this with the clip and leave the holster on my bag.
Bro, enjoy your videos.. I need the Nitecore tactical light with the longest possible throw distance... any recommendations? I don’t want a big head like the P30 ( I already own it). Is the light in this video still the best in this class?
Gotta say this lite is awesome... This is my 3 lite I purchased. But I gotta say.. I bought it because YOU are a good salesman.. hahaha. You should have been a used car salesman. Lololol. Great video brother..
I am not sure why but I really like it as well. Probably I would not have said anything without this comment but now that you mention it maybe that's why I can't stop watching this guys videos. It's getting expensive.
Does this flash light (MH12S) support USB-C Power Delivery, please? Can it be used as Power Bank? How to change the current direction? What happens when I connect the flash light with USB-C↔USB-C cable to a mobile phone?
Hello. Hopefully you can help me answer this question. I understand the NL2150HPi batteries only work for the i flashlight models like the P10i and so on, but I've read on forums they also work on flashlights like the MH12S. Is this true? I have that flashlight, and I'm planning on buying the MPB21 for when camping, but would like to use the battery as a backup for the MH12s if possible. Thank you.
@@NitecoreSG Yeah! Cycling thru ur older vids and just finished watching the tiki lights video. Great validation of my purchases coz i got the LE and GITD for friends. Looking around ur playlists coz i wana upgrade my very old but reliable MH10. My eye is still on this MH12s. 😁
Does Nitecore has any 1000Lumens flood light flashlight, that cost around 1000PHpesos in the Philippines Unit model, and how to know that im buying an Original or fake...
at 5:50 you say that in case a 18650 cell is used, you CAN'T use turbo, you can access 1050 lumens at the most. but, in the website it clearly says that " turbo level is only accessible when using 21700/18650 Li-ion battery with a discharge current over 8A". its written in small letters under the output/runtime/beam distance/candela chart at the flashlight's page at your website. BTW, the one (18650) you had in the video has 8A written on it, so i don't know what to understand, maybe you can clarify. 8A 18650 the turbo is inaccessible? 10A 18650 the turbo is accessible? is 8A and above needed to have the turbo or it has to be greater than 8A(exactly 8A won't be able to activate turbo)? i am waiting for this flashlight to arrive at the local nitecore shop. the guys there told me the first batch is on the way and the main reason i am buying it is the backwards compatibility with 18650 cells and the wide range of compatible cell sizes. so an accurate answer will be much of help. thanks
Hi friend, do you know which flashlights can only use protected batteries? I am guessing those which have 2 buttons behind (normal&quickstrobe) can only use protected.Most spec. papers don't write the compatible batteries.

@@seftioksim8140 i still can't understand how the separate strobe switch relates to your question but i will do my best answering you. if the 3 points (size, contact, discharge current) i mentioned in my previous comment are met, there shouldn't be any problem (size, contact, discharge current). in the specific case of the P22R, the VTC6 will be fine (amps are above 8A so it will give full output + contact is ok because the contact near the flashlight's head side is a spring, which will make good contact with the flat top VTC6 + dimensions: you still need to check the max battery size compatibility for that specific flashlight because its not written anywhere but you still can contact nitecore customer service by email and ask them. they will reply, they have very good service, that is why i personally prefer to buy from them despite they are more expensive compared with other companies like klarus,lumintop,thrunite...)

@@seftioksim8140 check this nitecore video : th-cam.com/video/zRel_R8wL50/w-d-xo.html pay attention to what he says from 5:34 to 5:55, i think you will find your answer also there. it will be better if you just watch the whole video since it has other useful information on this topic.
Definitely the flashlight for me..definitely will purchase one due to the special offer. Can you tell me when the MH10S will be available in Singapore?
I'm looking for a Nitecore light that has the "memory" feature but is more tactical than the MH11. This seems perfect, but it's discontinued! What's the newer equivalent that has that feature?
So.... What is the purpose of the "Quick draw" holster IF you do a mechanical lockout which you would need both hands to twist the tailcap back on to activate the light ? seems a bit counter intuitive and completely makes the purpose of the "Quick draw" holster being quick access in a scenario you would NEED quick access useless.... the pouch holster you can open and grab the light with a single motion....
MJ - I have the P10i for work but thinking of getting the MH12S. But...Can you use the NL2150HPi battery in the MH12S like the P10i as I'm also getting the MPB21 Kit???
why not make these lights without a charging port? I already have a nitecore 4 battery charger station. I like to charge all 4 at once and then pop them in like reloading (using my smaller secondary light to see as I put new batteries in). It seems like charing from the flashlight itself severely limits function and greatly increases damage/fail potential to the light unnecessarily.
Just ordered last night from the website. I didn't see the light w/free accessories option tho. Have had the m12v2 for a while now, love it with no complaints. Honestly don't know why I ordered this new "s" version as my V2 still working excellent, and not much has changed.....
I love my MH12S flashlight but pocket clips are not friendly...it has an eadge on the clip which can stuck and cut my pocket collar when slotting into pocket
I'm shocked Nitecore doesn't make new models of MH20, most notably it's 2stage button. From turned on position, I can quickly access last mode + immediatelly access ultra low + almost immediatelly access high power mode, and switch between all modes effortlessly with half press. Very light weight, very optimal spill for close and spot for far distances, neutral white edition. It was the first and only interface that got me very impressed with intinuity and ease of access, made me disregard any other flashlights and their interfaces.
@@NitecoreSG You have enough reason to think there's going to be such a product soon? Closest to it is currently Nitecore E4K's updated edition, where after people were complaining with the new interface for 2 stage button (universally agreeble - much worse interface), they updated it to work just like the MH20 and MH23 did. Except that it doesn't have spotlight, so it's not the same function. But for flood light it seems to be really good.
I'm looking for another light similar to MH20, but all of them seem like a downgrade currently. And MH23 comparitavely to Nitecore newer models, has old USB port, smaller battery, and priced same or higher, which doesn't make it such a good buy at this point.
I understand that the p20i have the harden ceramic bezels on top of the regular steel bezels for glass breaking sort purpose whereby this mh12S do not have the harden ceramic bezel but only the regular steel bezels. My question is, if for whatever reason, i need to use the mh12S for such glass breaking sort of bashing, will the mh12S be able to withstand such once in a blue moon occurrence glass breaking sort of bashing? Or will it likely just get damaged once used in that manner? Need to know before i order. Many thanks in advance.
The MH12S has no steel bezel too, it’s all aluminum. Once in a while yes it’s ok, but you might see the aluminum head material press in, depending on what you bash on
I don't think a light with 2 tailswitches is a great improvement because the light still has to be positioned for mode sw access when dark. I got this light and a Fenix tk16 also. With tailswitch the light has to be held so thumb can access the switches or use the other hand to access switches I.e. 2 hand operation. With the mode switch on the side I reflect the light off my hand to illuminate the location of the mode switch on the MH12S.
@@NitecoreSG Thanks MJ (what does it stand for?). Appreciate the quick reply and all your knowledge! 1a/ If I'm getting it right, the Nitecore i Series only works with batteries finishing with an "i" at the end, e.g. the NL2150i for the P20i if I want a 5000mAh battery? 1b/ If I use regular NL2150 battery in P20i it will not work at all or I just can't access TURBO (limited to 1100 lumens)? 2/ BTW in the Technical Data chart for the MH12S it says "TURBO Availability [...] only accessible when using a 21700/18650 [...] with a discharge current over 8A", however isn't the provided NL2150 only 5A max? 3/ Moreover, I ordered 34mm RGB filters. Says it fits 32mm to 36mm head sizes. Will it fit the P20i's 31.8mm?

Brilliant EDC Flashlight just got mine a few days back insane performance I purchased the Mh12s + Tiki edition, Tiki is insanely bright for it's size.
Mh12s 1800 the best EDC Flashlights for me this 2021
I have owned it. It is absulotely the best EDC light currently. Right now, Nitecore is the only manufacture that produces the best flashlights that I trust.
I chose 1. Fenix and 1b. Nitecore. Failure rate is lower on Fenix as my experiece on flashlight.
I think Nitecore can also include a official output versus runtime figure for each model just like that Fenix has.
Can you try to use unprotected 18650 in mh12s, please. Gonna order need to know
@@seftioksim8140 I tried. It is a little loose, but the light will work. The light will be interrupted if you swing it, and you can hear the battery clicking. Note that if you do not use high drain 18650, you will probably get same output in both 1050lm and 1800lm mode, meaning that there will be no turbo.
@@seftioksim8140 Similar light output in 1800lm and 1050lm mode with a low level battery. The 1800lm mode will be brighter, just not as high.

Phenomenal flashlight. The only minor issue is the side switch is difficult to locate by feel. Otherwise, it is absolutely perfect.
Nitecore is my favorite flashlight brand. I hope they come out with an LEP light soon. 😊

bottom line:
if the VTC6 dimensions don't exceed the NL1835HP dimensions and the adapter is compatible with flat top batteries, i can safely say that a VTC6 cell will fit, and fully operate the MH12S with no problems (but keep in mind that runtimes of 18650 cells are not as good as the 21700 so you will get less runtimes of what is written in the MH12S page since the tests are done with 21700 5000 mAh cell).

regarding Klarus, i have their XT2CR (great over all light-balanced beam, multiple user settings, compact pocketable size, battery level indicator, steel bezel, spring contacts on both battery sides, strobe ready switch....) and the VTC6 will fit inside and fully operate that flashlight. take note that they have newer models but they are slowly transitioning towards proprietary batteries which can greatly restrict your options in battery purchase in the future (which i hate) but they still sell the XT2CR.
@@seftioksim8140 check this nitecore video :
th-cam.com/video/zRel_R8wL50/w-d-xo.html
pay attention to what he says from 5:34 to 5:55, i think you will find your answer also there. it will be better if you just watch the whole video since it has other useful information on this topic.
Definitely the flashlight for me..definitely will purchase one due to the special offer.
Can you tell me when the MH10S will be available in Singapore?
The mh10S is already in, some of the shops already hav them like aimspec. The online page will be up next week. 👍
@@NitecoreSGThanks MJ for the info.. looking forward to purchase it
Just bought the mh12s!! Also bought the mh12v2 for the wife
Can i charge this battery or with power bank anker 20000???
I'm looking for a Nitecore light that has the "memory" feature but is more tactical than the MH11. This seems perfect, but it's discontinued! What's the newer equivalent that has that feature?
The replacement for this is the MH12 PRO here - www.nitecorelights.com/mh12pro
Ive used 2 of these for 3 years now. One for hone use and one for work use. I was looking to buy another one and I can't seem to find them anymorem
So.... What is the purpose of the "Quick draw" holster IF you do a mechanical lockout which you would need both hands to twist the tailcap back on to activate the light ? seems a bit counter intuitive and completely makes the purpose of the "Quick draw" holster being quick access in a scenario you would NEED quick access useless.... the pouch holster you can open and grab the light with a single motion....
MJ - I have the P10i for work but thinking of getting the MH12S. But...Can you use the NL2150HPi battery in the MH12S like the P10i as I'm also getting the MPB21 Kit???
Yes you can. HPI batteries work in the MH12S
You guys make excellent lights
Bravo my friend. You got me sold on this light
Is this flashlight (MH12S) compatible with the new intelligent HPi 21700i battery, please? Which other (MH*) flashlights are compatible, please?
why not make these lights without a charging port? I already have a nitecore 4 battery charger station. I like to charge all 4 at once and then pop them in like reloading (using my smaller secondary light to see as I put new batteries in). It seems like charing from the flashlight itself severely limits function and greatly increases damage/fail potential to the light unnecessarily.
Just ordered last night from the website. I didn't see the light w/free accessories option tho.
Have had the m12v2 for a while now, love it with no complaints. Honestly don't know why I ordered this new "s" version as my V2 still working excellent, and not much has changed.....
Can I use unprotected 18650 like vtc6 in this flashlight?
Why I cant have 1800 lumens if battery inside above than 3.8V?
Can I use the battery from mh12s for the p20i? I’m not good at this, thanks for the help.
Hi can’t, P20i needs NL2150HPi batteries to run
I notice that on your website there's no mention of this as a tactical flashlight. Is this okay to put in my carry-on luggage on a plane?
Yea this light is fine on plane carry.
hi. Do you have a torch like this with red light?
Are there any flight check-in restriction for this torchlight?
None, all good
@@NitecoreSG Does it support 21700 flat top INR batteries?
Impressive review! 15/10 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Which one is better. This MH12S or MH12 V2. Help me to choose master 🙏
MH12S 👍
@@NitecoreSG thanks sir
Hello, nice review! should I charge this with 5v DC?
I guess a 5V / 3A charger is needed
That is a badass light system. Great Video.
How do you attach the lanyard? Thank you
does this have direct low mode access
Awesome review 👍👍👍thanks for showing the accessories 👍👍👍👍
I love my MH12S flashlight but pocket clips are not friendly...it has an eadge on the clip which can stuck and cut my pocket collar when slotting into pocket
I ordered for mine.
Thanks a lot for this review 👍👍😎
Is this flashlight compatible with NL2150HP or NL2150HPR?
The ring retention on the light is a bit weak. Had to secure mine with tape
Hi what flashlight do u recommend if I ride bike at night
Either the BR25 or BR35 is perfect.
I'm shocked Nitecore doesn't make new models of MH20, most notably it's 2stage button. From turned on position, I can quickly access last mode + immediatelly access ultra low + almost immediatelly access high power mode, and switch between all modes effortlessly with half press.
Very light weight, very optimal spill for close and spot for far distances, neutral white edition.
It was the first and only interface that got me very impressed with intinuity and ease of access, made me disregard any other flashlights and their interfaces.
Only a matter of time before they reach the MH20 size and function. They’re revamping other models first
@@NitecoreSG You have enough reason to think there's going to be such a product soon? Closest to it is currently Nitecore E4K's updated edition, where after people were complaining with the new interface for 2 stage button (universally agreeble - much worse interface), they updated it to work just like the MH20 and MH23 did.
Except that it doesn't have spotlight, so it's not the same function. But for flood light it seems to be really good.
I'm looking for another light similar to MH20, but all of them seem like a downgrade currently. And MH23 comparitavely to Nitecore newer models, has old USB port, smaller battery, and priced same or higher, which doesn't make it such a good buy at this point.
Does anyone knows, how long does the battery, holds a charge in storage?
Im looking for a light with a side-switch and a tail switch, and also with a strobe-ready button. Can someone help me out?
This is compatible with thyrm switchback large?
Can you do a comparisson with the new mh12 pro? I think because of the color of mh12pro, that mh12s is superior even to the mh12se that I have....
The pro is actually better from a build and runtime perspective. But some prefer the color tone of the MH12 SE LED.
Can you use the torch while charging?
Can’t, not for this model
No direct access to ultra low?
This is an every man light, love mine!😀
I understand that the p20i have the harden ceramic bezels on top of the regular steel bezels for glass breaking sort purpose whereby this mh12S do not have the harden ceramic bezel but only the regular steel bezels.
My question is, if for whatever reason, i need to use the mh12S for such glass breaking sort of bashing, will the mh12S be able to withstand such once in a blue moon occurrence glass breaking sort of bashing? Or will it likely just get damaged once used in that manner?
Need to know before i order.
Many thanks in advance.
The MH12S has no steel bezel too, it’s all aluminum. Once in a while yes it’s ok, but you might see the aluminum head material press in, depending on what you bash on
@@NitecoreSG Thank you for the reply
how could they don't implement instant strobe or instant ultra low by double click/holding mode button from off position.
even mh10 have this
Has it been tested to be a rifle light? I would love to run a nitecore weapon light
If you're gonna buy your first nitecore, which one would you choose mh12s or e4k?
MH12S
I don't think a light with 2 tailswitches is a great improvement because the light still has to be positioned for mode sw access when dark. I got this light and a Fenix tk16 also. With tailswitch the light has to be held so thumb can access the switches or use the other hand to access switches I.e. 2 hand operation. With the mode switch on the side I reflect the light off my hand to illuminate the location of the mode switch on the MH12S.
I will have eny problem using the 21700 5000mh hpr instead of the simple 21700 ?
on the mh12s
nitecore is a beast, please make one for my bike
I just bought both MH12S and P20i, can I swap their batteries if I want to?
P20i batteries can use in MH12S, but not the other way round
@@NitecoreSG Thanks MJ (what does it stand for?). Appreciate the quick reply and all your knowledge!
1a/ If I'm getting it right, the Nitecore i Series only works with batteries finishing with an "i" at the end, e.g. the NL2150i for the P20i if I want a 5000mAh battery?
1b/ If I use regular NL2150 battery in P20i it will not work at all or I just can't access TURBO (limited to 1100 lumens)?
2/ BTW in the Technical Data chart for the MH12S it says "TURBO Availability [...] only accessible when using a 21700/18650 [...] with a discharge current over 8A", however isn't the provided NL2150 only 5A max?
3/ Moreover, I ordered 34mm RGB filters. Says it fits 32mm to 36mm head sizes. Will it fit the P20i's 31.8mm?
You site says Singapore. I'm a US buyer, how can I use the code?
You can use the code on the site, we still ship out to you via dhl
I like this version
How long time mode turbo before step down lumens.?
15min
Up to how long can go under water? In 2meter?
2m is ok. Don’t go any deeper
I think the p22r its the best option. Has light memory. And the secondary button for turbo strobe always
