The NiteCore MH23 is a very small EDC flashlight with a maximum output of 1800 lumens and a length of only 11.2 cm. The two-stage side-switch is similar to a camera. By pressing it halfway you switch between the positions, pressing it further will switch it on and off. This switch also features a battery indicator that lets you see the status of your battery.
NiteCore MH23: Pocket-sized powerhouse
With a maximum light output of 1800 lumens, this is a real pocket-sized powerhouse. It works on a button-top 18650 battery. Want to reach the 1800 lumens? If so you need the special 8A 18650 battery. On a standard 18650 battery or two CR123A batteries, it reaches 760 lumens.
With the included micro-usb cable you can charge the NiteCore MH23 in no time. However, we recommend that you turn the rubber cover on the USB port to the side and do not fold it up. This prevents unnecessary wear and tear.

*The burn time of the turbo mode is theoretically calculated
. The enormous light output of the NiteCore MH23 makes this a real flashlight to take into account during use. It is more powerful than the average headlight of a car, so be careful not to get too close to roads and the like. NiteCore also advises you to loosen the tailcap when carrying the lamp in a pocket or jacket pocket. This prevents it from being switched on unintentionally, resulting in considerable heat generation.
