Nitecore's MT1A is a versatile and lightweight flashlight with two preset modes and four selectable brightness levels. It's compact size and high performance make it an ideal everyday carry flashlight.
Nitecore says:
Nitecore MT flashlights are a new line of highly versatile and practical illumination tools designed for a multitude of users and environments.
A sleek, robust body finely etched with extensive knurling and a perfect finish are hallmarks of this range, but even more important is the highly practical and usable user-interface which makes selecting modes a breeze.
Our Verdict
The MT1A is part of Nitecore's Multi-task series, as it can be used for anything from outdoor use, industry work to general home use.
It essentially has two modes: high mode (100% output) and custom mode. High mode is accessed by tightening the flashlight head while any of one of the four customizable modes (strobe, low, medium and high) are selected by loosening the head and rapidly pressing the on/off switch to cycle through the modes. You can then save a mode by simply turning off the light while in that mode.
It sounds a little confusing but once you've had a go you quickly get the hang of it. Plus it comes with instructions to help you if you need them. It also comes with a handy stainless steel clip and lanyard.
