The Nitecore MT2A Pro is the long-awaited upgrade to the classic MT2A — a brighter beam, longer throw, and modern charging in a slim tube under 6" long. The NiteLab UHi 20 LED pushes 1000 lumens out to 279 yards, a tail switch cycles three brightness modes with memorization, and a two-way clip attaches it to pockets, backpacks, or belts. IP68 waterproofing, 1-meter impact resistance, and patented advanced temperature regulation keep the Nitecore MT2A Pro dependable for everyday carry, emergency kits, and outdoor use.
Power is flexible: run the included Nitecore NL1416R rechargeable battery (2AA size, 3.7V, built-in USB-C charging) for up to 20 hours of runtime, or drop in two standard AA batteries in a pinch. In the box: Nitecore MT2A Pro, NL1416R battery, USB-C charging cable, clip, lanyard, and spare O-ring.
