The MH12PRO has double the beam distance of similar-sized 25mm bezel lights.
SUPER LONG RUNTIME-4 hours and30 minutes of runtime in at 1,200 lumens gets all of your tasks done with time to spare. The MH12 PRO runs up to50 hours on low mode, making it a fantastic emergency light.
BUILT-IN QUICK CHARGE PORT- 3h 30min full charge with a 5,300mAh battery. This is the fastest built-in USB-C port charger ever seen on a flashlight.
BLINDING 3300 LUMEN BEAM- From the new UHi 40 LED. There's nothing like this on the market, it's the smallest, brightest most efficient LED of it's size. This amount of blinding brightness will disorientate anyone in front of you. It also shines through heavily tinted windows, smoke, and fog.
GRIPPY TEXTURE- The body has a new cross diagonal cutout design that stays gripping in wet weather and with gloves on.
PROXIMITY SENSOR- Lowers the brightness of the light when something is placed in front of it, and resumes it's brightness when it's clear. This stops any burning of holes in your pocket, bag or clothing.
NEW GEN2 HOLSTERS-Are lower profile, and take up less space on your belt. It compresses when not in use, compared to the old ones that flop around.
READY FOR ANYTHING- Waterproof and sealed down to 2m, the MH12PRO can take on any climate. Advanced Temperature Regulation (ATR) technology ensures optimal performance based on the environment's temperatures.
What's the difference between lumen rating and candela rating?
Many companies are pushing out high lumen lights as a sales pitch, the higher the better, but it's actually quite misleading. High lumens help you see the target, yes but that's only half the equation.
The lumen rating simply means how much raw light is being emitted at the LED itself, or once the light gets past the lens. Either way, it’s just a number that measures brightness. That's the first part of the equation.
The second part of the equation is candela. Candela is the measurement of light concentration at a standardized distance. From a first responders' perspective, it tells you how much light you’ll be able to put on a target.
For a duty light, there is nothing more important than being able to put useable light on a target. Useable light on-target gives you the ability to get Positive Identification. It gives you situational awareness. It also gives you a non-lethal option because a high candela light is very disruptive to the human eye.
If you want a quick demonstration: Turn the flashlight feature on your cellphone in a dark room. You’ll see around 50 lumens present but that is not useable in a weapon application. Its intended use is that of an admin light. And it’s fine for that purpose. But if you take that same light, put a reflector over it and focus it, you multiply your candela of that light exponentially. And now it’s useful for a lot more than just simple admin purposes.
So to get a beam truly useful for lighting up targets at a distance, you don't want a flood beam that's purely high in lumens but also high in candela. And the MH12 PRO does exactly that, it packs 3300 lumens brightness and focuses that into a powerful beam with over 63,500 candela, making it the best light for shooting and similar applications.
