Nitecore MH27 Rechargeable LED Torch

The Nitecore 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.

Powered by a single rechargeable 18650 lithium-ion battery (not included), the MH27 has the ability to charge the battery inside the torch. Simply turn the torch on first and then plug the supplied charging lead into the micro USB port and the other end into the computer, or with suitable adaptor it can be plugged into the mains or car. The blue indicator light will blink every 1.5 seconds to show charging is in progress and will go solid blue once charging is complete.

Alternatively the MH27 can be powered by two RCR123A lithium-ion cells or two CR123A non-rechargeable lithium cells, however these batteries types can NOT be charged within the torch.

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.
