NiteLab, a sister company of NITECORE, has introduced an innovative LED specifically designed for flashlights, known as the Ultra High-Intensity LED or UHi LED. This marks a significant advancement in flashlight technology. Until now, flashlight manufacturers have relied on general-purpose LEDs, which often necessitated larger flashlight heads to achieve optimal performance.

With the UHi LED, it delivers a higher light density while maintaining a smaller light-emitting surface (LES). Additionally, the UHi LED features a circular design, as opposed to the traditional square shape of LEDs, making it an ideal fit for the round reflectors commonly found in flashlights. This design results in a remarkable increase in light conversion efficiency and produces a bright, clear hotspot.
The UHi LED offers benefits such as ultra-high beam intensity and outstanding long-range performance, outperforming other LEDs with similar power. This breakthrough enables compact flashlights to overcome size limitations and achieve greater long-range capabilities than ever before.
The NITECORE MH12 Pro you see here is the first flashlight from NITECORE to be outfitted with this groundbreaking LED technology. The MH12 Pro is a high-powered flashlight with an impressive 3,300 lumens output, thanks to the cutting-edge UHi 40 LED. This LED features a round light-emitting surface, ultra-high light intensity, and a robust 40W maximum power.

The MH12 Pro stands out for its compact design, offering outstanding performance with a maximum beam distance of 505 meters (1,657 feet!). The UHi 40 LED’s round shape pairs perfectly with the reflector, resulting in high light efficiency and a clear hotspot for precise target identification in low-light conditions.
The flashlight boasts a well-crafted body with anti-slip knurling, making it easy to hold even with wet or gloved hands. It features indicators for power and brightness levels, along with a tail cap designed to prevent accidental activation.
Power is provided by a high-capacity 21700 Li-ion battery, offering a lengthy runtime. The flashlight also includes a sensor protection function to prevent overheating and offers two operational modes for versatility.
