Customers praised the 1000-lumen flashlight's adjustable 90-degree head and magnetic base as "game-changing" for hands-free work. Battery life is excellent, with weeks of use per charge. Some reported durability issues after drops or extended use, and a few noted the pocket clip lacks grip. The interface requires holding the button to turn on, which some find inconvenient.

Still love it!!

I have owned this flashlight for several years now, and still use it every day at work. I love this flashlight! The adjustable beam is priceless. I don’t have to use the brightest setting a lot due to reflecting off stainless steel parts. But when I do need it lights up half the plant!
The magnetic base and swivel head are the best part of this flashlight, it’s like having a third hand(see picture). Great job Nitecore!
I own several Nightcore lights and they’ve all great.

Just received the MT21C 1000 lumen flashlights

Just received the MT21C 1000 lumen flashlights, I ordered two. What I like most about them is that they have a magnetic base and the head can set at right angles. That's useful when working on something with a small space and without holding the light.

Great light but not built like M12A pro

I was expecting the light to be as thin and light as the M12A pro. The works perfectly fine, just not for me. It’s to bulky for me.

It's really is a very smart light, but the battery has to be fully charged for everything to work properly.

The Only Flashlight You'll Ever Need

This flashlight is my absolute favorite. The versatility of uses you get out of it is astounding as well as the battery life. Charge it once and it will last you weeks (depending on the brightness you are using). The magnet base is a godsend for working under the hood or just hooking it up to keep your hands free for maintenance work. Nitecore flashlights are the best quality flashlights you could ever hope to own. If you're thinking about buying one just do it. You'll never need to look anywhere else for a high-duty light.

The Right Light with the Right Angle

The combination of the magnetic base and the pivoting head creates tremendous versatility. The voltage monitor feature is very helpful.

Poor flashlight

The flashlight showed itself well, but only for the first 1 year. Disappointed with the flashlight.
1. After six months of use, the "clip" mount broke.
2. After 1 years of use, when dropped from 1 meter, 3 out of 5 light modes stopped working. Only the weakest or the strongest one works, on which the battery discharges instantly. Perhaps, this is just my bad luck, but I do not plan to buy Nitecore products anymore.

Awesome

I have enjoyed this flashlight for a few years now. The magnetic end and swivel head is amazing. I work around steel in the dark constantly. I often use the magnetic end for cleaning metal shavings up as well. This is my third one. I have dropped it 10 + floors down an elevator shaft more than once. It usually survives the first couple falls.

Great flashlight.! Works as designed.

Unique and powerful!

Great flashlight to easily carry and direct your light, fixing to just the right angle you need. This is a super powerful, bright light for such a small flashlight! 10/10

Cool light, great features, DOES NOT LAST.

My first one died after 30 days of moderate use. The replacement quit after 45 days.

Love it!

For the people with bad reviews: use the lanyard for deep pocket use besides the clip. Also for the guy who didnt read instructions on how to get to turbo setting right away, just hold down the on button for a couple seconds.

It’s ok

For a work light it can use more throw power. Last week I had my edc53 used with the Mt21c. My edc33 served me better even without magnets or a tilt head. Put a tilt head on the edc33 or edc35 and then you have a good work light

Solo funciona el nivel más bajo de luz

Antes funcionaba bien, ahora solo el nivel más bajo de luz es el que funciona, y la batería que compré es la de Nitecore.

Great little lite with tons of adjustment and a nice offset feature with a magnetic end. What more could you ask for?

Nice...But,

Wonderful conception but, I have two issues:
1 - The light color is towards the blue side.
2 - The belt clip needs work. It's tearing the material on my Levis.

The most useful flashlight Nitecore makes

I have several Nitecore flashlights and headlamps, but this MT21C has to be the single most pragmatic and useful light I own. Between the head being able to tilt at angles up to 90 degrees and the variety of ways of hanging or holding it - handheld, by the top hook, the pocket clip, the lanyard, the belt loops on the holster, or the magnet in its base - this light can be positioned perfectly for practically any possible situation.

Add to that the flexibility of 18650 or CR123 power, the functionality of IPX8 water resistance, and accessories like the 25mm Red filter for night viewing, or the Diffuser to make it a lantern, or even the 25mm traffic wand, and you have the single most versatile light in Nitecore's catalog - or anyone else's!

Model MT21C Flashlight

The MT21C is the best and handiest flashlight I've ever had. The swivel head and magnetic base allows you to angle the light directly where you need it for hands free application such as working under the hood of a vehicle or any situation when you need direct light quickly. Very well engineered!

Super high quality

Nice selection of products, I was pleased to see the quality when I received my flashlight.

one really annoying flaw

I love everything about the MT21C EXCEPT that the pocket clip is completely useless! The clip is so flexible, that it has no "grab" on a pocket, so the flashlight is not secured at all, making it very easy so slip out of your pocket and be lost forever. It would also be really nice if there was a "deep carry" option, either by changing the clip design, or by designing-in an alternate clip location on the flashlight.

Fits the bill

I bought this because my MH10 finally died after 8 years of accidentally dropping it. I needed something that would work well with the three 2300mAh 18650 batteries that I already have. Getting used to the switch functions -vs- the MH10 is a small learning curve, but I'm getting used to it. I really like the swivel head and magnet base. Definitely a worthwhile purchase. What I'd really like to see on the website is more filtering options. It took me over an hour of searching until I figured out the best light for me. Those options would have made that process a whole lot easier.

Great light!

I really like the MT21C flashlight. It's sturdy, has a strong magnet and pocket clip. It's pretty lightweight, and it lights quite well. The 4 degrees of brightness are helpful, as are the SOS and beacon functions. I forgot to order a charger with the larger battery, and they were nice enough to send me one free of charge. I will absolutely buy another light from Nitecore when the time comes.

Bought for work

The magnetic back is plenty strong enough to hold the light horizontally. The button for light output is not complicated for general lighting use. For my uses this light is working out good.
