I would prefer this with a SMO reflector without the red light.
That is really bad that the ano scratched so easily and does not match. I am amazed nitecore puts out such low quality now. My P12 has really nice nice ano.
today to get to the mail boxes (po boxes) this light i t was worth it to me ,and I felt like a kid at Christmas I live this little light the only problem I have is that my sanyo flat top 840 mah don’t work ,other than that I am happy thanks M4D M4X for the re iew and discount code !
I’m in the office right now and i can’t see the video or pics (blocked) and i have a question. Are the side switch made of soft or hard rubber or the plastic type like the Olight s15…?
Well, I never really liked the side switch. I was really, and i mean really, disappointed with the ‘upgrade’ of the MT1A. I was praying and hoping for a higher lumen and 14500/AA version of the MT1A, a higher lumen (like 0ver 300 lumens), and everything about the light is in tact. But what did Nitecore did? Added a Red LED, couple of side switches and no more twisting of the head for instant access to Turbo mode.
I have an S15, yeah, i gave it a try, i kinda like it but miss my Jetbeam PC10 (which was stole from me while i was sleeping in our company sleeping lounge, really sucks) and I loved how i can easily use the highest brightness with just a simple turn of the lights head.
Then why did i but the S15? Lost my PC10 so I had to find a replacement, the S15 was the only locally available at that time (bought my PC10 online from HK) and can use 14500 or AA, so, yeah, i gave it a shot, considering the switch is a plastic one, unlike the S10 which is rubber. I have an S10, too, BTW.
Had Nitecore upgraded ONLY the LED and left the light as is (because it is a beautiful design IMO) and they SHOULD HAVE only upgraded the LED.
I would have considered getting the MT10A if the side switch is a hard plastic button, like the S15, but soft rubber? Noooooo way. I aint going to see those buttons slowly deteriorate over the time, no way.
I almost bought this from the GB, but the anodizing finish stopped me. even though it has nice features, It looks cheap and almost like a paint. (sort of like the shiny painted finish on $1 police 3W dollarstore lights.
if it had a more satin better anodizing finish like my older MT2A and my Sunwayman F40A then it would be much better looking.
