The Nitecore New P12 is the next generation 21700 tactical torch, now powered by a 21700 lithium-ion battery yet still retaining the compact size with the 25.4 mm barrel diameter. It utilises a Cree XP-L HD V6 LED for a maximum output of 1200 lumens and a beam range of 238 metres on the high setting.
Although a 21700 lithium-ion rechargeable battery is recommended, the New P12 can also use an 18650 lithium-ion rechargeable battery, two RCR123A lithium-ion rechargeable batteries or two CR123A lithium metal non rechargeable batteries using the included battery adaptor that makes the batteries compatible.
This torch has multiple tactical features including the tactical tail switch with momentary operation, strobe, crenullated bezel and deep carry pocket clip, but it also features the NTH10 tactical holster that is designed for law enforcement as the sturdy plastic holster keeps the torch in place, but also allows for immediate quick draw when required without having to lift a flap up first.
The torch is operated with the tail switch and a side button and also has two modes of daily mode (default) or tactical mode. Daily mode accesses all outputs of four brightness settings and three special modes of strobe, beacon and SOS and will remember the last used setting except for SOS and beacon. In tactical mode there is access to all settings except SOS and beacon and the torch will only remember the last used setting for high and strobe.
The tail switch provides momentary illumination with a half press and a full press turns the torch on and off. With the light switched on, each press of the mode switch will cycle through the brightness outputs and then long press the mode button to access strobe. While on strobe, press and hold the button to cycle through SOS, beacon and strobe settings when in daily mode. A single press will revert back to the last used brightness setting. The strobe randomly changes frequency between 16-20 Hz which helps to disorientate any attackers as the naked eye cannot adapt to the changing frequency.
With the light off, press and hold the mode button and then click the tail switch, and continue to hold the mode button until the blue indicator flashes rapidly to change between daily mode and tactical mode. The blue indicator will then flash once to indicate daily mode or twice to indicate tactical mode.
The blue indicator can also display the battery power by again holding the mode button with the light off and single pressing the tail switch, but this time quickly releasing both buttons. The blue light will flash to show the voltage, for example if the voltage is 4.2 V the light will flash four times, pause and then flash two more times.
The integrated advance temperature regulation (ATR) technology regulates the output of the New P12 according to the working condition and ambient environment to maintain optimal performance.
Thanks to the 1 inch diameter body, the New P12 is compatible with the 25.4 mm filters, diffuser, the weapon mount and bike mount.
Please Note: If you choose to use the 21700 Lithium-ion rechargeable battery it is recommended that it is charged with one of the following Nitecore Chargers; UI1, UI2, UM2, UM4, UMS2 or UMS4.
