NitecoreMT10C 920 Lumen Multitask Tactical Flashlight with Red Light, LumenTac Organizer

I like this little light but I will say that I will no longer spend over 50 on a nitecore light after my issue with the nitecore P20ix light spent 120 dollars on.

Buying this flashlight I was comparing it to Nitecore EC11 - a smaller and more expensive flashlight. I went to B&H to see EC11 and found that it was too small for me. So, I bought this one - MT10C. After one week of use I like it. I use it for walking my dog in the dark, in house and in my car.What I like about it:1. It has many modes and it is easy to switch between them. You can easily select any mode, good logic behind switching.2. It is well-made and it is weather-proof.3. It allows to see remaining charge of the battery - this is really important for me if I take with me for a trip.3. It can use two types of batteries - CR123 and rechargeable from Nitecore. CR123 are available at Target and Bestbuy.4. Nice red light and flashing red light.What I do not like:1. Just one thing, and this may be my personal - I do not like that first level is 1 Lumen and the next one is 70 limens. I would like to have something in between. Say, 30 limens...What I do not understand about it:The manual says that in Turbo mode the brightness of this flashlight with rechargeable Nitecore battery is 920 lumens and with CR123 battery - 450 lumens. I did some tests and I did not notice any difference. Maybe this is just something wrong with this particular flashlight that I have. Do not know. I was comparing its brightness to brightness of my other Nitecore flashlight - the EC41, which I love.UPDATE:I have this flashlight for several months now and I still like it. I still do not like the gap between 1 Lumen and 70 Lumens modes. I wish it would have a 35 Lumens mode in between. Nevertheless, I bought second flashlight like this as a gift. I did more testing and found that indeed the output light is lower if CR123 battery is used.IMPORTANT: I observed one strange phenomenon with this flashlight that I want to share with you. THIS FLASHLIGHT IS VERY SENSITIVE TO LOW TEMPERATURES. On several occasions I exposed this flashlight to freezing temperatures (-8oC to -10oC) whi.e walking my dog. After 8 minutes several modes start to change - light becomes dimmer. Interestingly, red light modes do not change and 1 Lumen mode stays the same - I did not notice any changes in light output. However, the 70 and 180 Lumen modes are affected very significantly - actually, after 20 minutes of exposure they do not produce any light at all! Brighter modes do produce bright light, but it seems dimmer than usually. This is true for both types of batteries - CR123 and the rechargeable one.. Once the flashlight warms up, everything comes back to normal. So be aware - this flashlight becomes unreliable at freezing temperatures.

Well made, exceptionally bright and love the red light when bugs are around. Good price too!

Battery is not a common battery.

Let me start off by saying that I have a problem when it comes to flashlights. I have a collection of over 30 different flashlights from all the big brands. This little flashlight is my go-to 9 out of 10 times. The 920 lumen output is not an exaggeration. When on turbo mode (max brightness), it easily outshines other brand flashlights claiming to be 1000+ lumens.The buttons are a designed perfectly. While some flashlights have a single power/brightness button requiring you to turn the flashlight off and on several times to get to the desired brightness, this flashlight has the power button on the end and the brightness controls on the body. As the product page indicates, there are 5x brightness levels of the main LED and one level for the red LED. In order to change between the brightness levels you simply press the button closer to the front to increase and closer to the back to decrease. If you decrease the brightness past the lowest level the red LED turns on. If you hold down either of the buttons by themselves instead of pressing and releasing, it will change directly to the brightest mode or the red LED without having to go through the steps. I typically use this when wanting to switch to the red LED without having to press a button multiple times.Which brings me to the red LED. This is one of the few flashlights I could find that includes a red LED. This mode is perfect if you are outside in the dark and need to see where you're going but don't want to create too much light. It's not nearly as noticeable or distracting as a while LED.Finally, I find the size to be perfect when doing other tasks with your hands that require a flashlight. It is so compact and lightweight that it makes it remarkably easy to carry. It I am carrying it in a pocket, I often forget it's there. At the same time, it does not feel too small that I'm worried I might drop it, nor does it feel delicate or fragile.The only potential negative for some would be that it uses a smaller battery than most flashlights. If you have an existing charger, make sure it can charge 18350 batteries. Otherwise, purchase a charger that can.

I have never had a good quality flashlight until now. This light is awesome, bright, and compact. The only thing I’d say is a second battery might be nice if you plan on going multiple days without charging. But still an amazing battery life for how small this thing is. Would definitely buy from Nitecore again!
