Nitecore MH27 Rechargeable LED Torch

The Nitecore MH27 is the latest edition to the MH series of lights, which feature a micro USB charging port and the ability to charge a 18650 lithium-ion battery within the torch.

Plug the supplied charging lead into the micro USB port, without the need to remove the battery, and then click the tail cap in to the on position to begin charging. Alternatively the MH27 can be powered by two CR123A primary lithium battery cells, which are not rechargeable.

The MH27 has a maximum output of 1000 lumens from the Cree XP-L HI V3 LED, offering four brightness levels in total, plus independent red, green and blue LEDs. Three special modes, strobe, SOS and location beacon are also available.

By utilising the domeless design of the Cree XP-L HI V3 LED, the MH27 produces a concentrated long range beam of up to 462 meters, which is normally only achievable with a searchlight with a much larger reflector.

Featuring a tail switch for momentary illumination and on/off functions, there is also + and - side mode switches that cycle through the modes in the order of blue, green, red, ultra-low, mid, high and turbo when pressing the + button and in reverse order when pressing the - button.

Pressing the + and - simultaneously will enter into the specials modes, cycling through strobe, SOS and beacon modes using the + and - buttons. Directly access turbo mode by holding the + button with the torch on, and directly access red by holding the - button with the torch on.

For ease of use the intelligent memory circuit will remember the last setting used, apart from location beacon and SOS.
