29/12/2015Nitecore one of the first companies to get the sideswitch right, with the ability to step both up and down - no more cycling through modes ! LED perfectly centred, clean powerful beam and extremely versatile with the low and red outputs.
Description
The Nitecore MT20A features a Cree XP-G2 R5 LED with max output 360 lumens & is powered by 2 x AA (alkaline or NiMH) batteries. This torch cannot use Li-ion 14500 batteries.
In addition to the main white LED the MT20A a features a secondary low level red LED which can be used to preserve night adapted vision. The MT20A has direct access to the white turbo mode & to the red light mode. The red LED can also be used to show the battery voltage and as a location beacon that flashes once every three seconds (30 day runtime with this feature activated).
The Cree XP-G2 R5 LED consumes half the battery power of a XM-L2 LED to illuminate at an equal distance thanks to its narrow beam pattern, making this flashlight ideal for those looking for a compact light with good range and long runtimes.

Turbo: 360 lumens - 1 hour 45 minute runtime
High: 240 lumens - 2 hour 15 minute runtime
