The Nitecore MH20 is the smallest edition to the Multi-Task Hybrid series of lights, which feature a micro USB charging port and the ability to charge a 18650 lithium-ion battery within the torch.
Simply plug the supplied charging lead into the USB port, without the need to remove the battery, and away you go. Alternatively the MH20 can be powered by two CR123A primary lithium battery cells, which are not rechargeable.
The MH20 has a maximum output of 1000 lumens from the Cree XM-L2 U2 LED and five brightness levels, selected via the single side switch. Three special modes, strobe, SOS and location beacon are also available.
The lack of a tail switch means the MH20 can stand securely on it's end to serve as a candle light. Instant access to turbo mode can be achieved by pressing the button fully down for over one second, or if you half press for over one second you will get instant access to ultra-low mode.
