Nitecore P12GTS Tactical Flashlight

How Can You Improve Upon Perfection?

Some would argue that the Nitecore P12GT is the perfect tactical flashlight. The hand-held LED light offers a broad range of brightness levels, long-lasting run times, far-throwing beams, a compact size, and multiple switches for effortless operation – what more could you ask for? Nitecore has done it again by taking the already popular P12GT to the next level with a brighter, more efficient LED bulb. This new-and-improved tactical flashlight, also known as the Nitecore P12GTS, now offers a brilliant 1800-lumen Turbo mode, by simply equipping the light with a Cree XHP35 HD LED and an optical, crystal coated lens. The upgraded EDC light has therefore been improved by 800 lumens, without sacrificing any of its other great features.

An Additional Output Mode

Not only is the new-and-improved Nitecore P12GTS tactical flashlight brighter, but it now offers a fifth output option! Instead of converting the 1000-lumen High mode to 1800 lumens, the engineers at Nitecore decided to maintain the four-mode format and simply add on the 1800-lumen Turbo mode as a fifth option. What hasn’t changed is the easy-to-use, dual switch interface. The Nitecore P12GTS tactical flashlight is equipped with both a metal side switch for mode changing and a tactical tailcap switch for quick-and-easy illumination. In fact, in addition to the light’s built-in memory mode, users also have instant access to both the Ultralow and the Turbo outputs. Please feel free to review the operating instructions below, for more details.

Powerful Performance

While having multiple brightness levels is extremely handy, it’s important to note that the 1800-lumen Turbo mode is only accessible when using either an IMR 18650 or a high-drain 18650 battery (>8A) output. So while this hand-held LED light is compatible with CR123A batteries, the brilliant Turbo mode cannot be produced when powered with these cells, which should, therefore, be reserved as a backup power source only. The Nitecore P12GTS tactical flashlight is the same great hand-held LED light you’ve grown to know and to love, but has been upgraded with an additional 1800-lumen Turbo mode. Upgrade your arsenal today by adding this new-and-improved illumination tool into your collection.
