The white CREE XM-L2 U2 LED housed in the NITECORE MT10C Flashlight outputs up to 920 lumens on turbo mode. A secondary red LED emitter provides light that doesn't alter night-adjusted vision, and can function as a location beacon when placed in strobe mode. On and off switching is accomplished via the tail switch while output levels and access to strobe and SOS modes are controlled by the dual body switches. The tail switch also allows for constant on or momentary illumination.

The flashlight's aluminum body has a Mil Spec Type III hard-anodized finish with a 1" diameter bezel. Deep pocket carry is accomplished by use of a removable clip, and a protrusion on the rear protects the switch and functions as a tail stand. An orange peel reflector provides a smooth beam, and the body has a non-slip design. Waterproof to 6.6' and impact resistant to 4.9', the M10C is ideal for harsh conditions. This light is powered by one IMR18350 or one CR123 battery.
