A compact medical penlight with multiple brightness levels (1-180 lumens) that always starts on low. Customers praised its "crisp natural light" and high color accuracy for medical use. However, some reported quality concerns including a loose/inconsistent tail button and rattling components. Popular for healthcare professionals and everyday carry.

If using for pupil exams get something simpler

If using for pupil exams get something simpler. The low light pupil exam light has to be cycled through the other (quite bright) settings which would blow your Pts pupils out and piss them off if used. The button on the back which cycles the light feels loose and is inconsistent with respect to cycling through brightness levels.

The primary case feels heavy duty and the tool fits appropriately into a “pen pocket” on 5.11 EMT pants.

Overall, my perception is of a tool that is over engineered in the wrong ways and under engineered for its use (especially at the price point).

Works well enough

Works well enough, but doesn't have the quality feel of my Streamlight pen light. Almost feels loose/rattle-y when you shake it.

Cheap Construction

The button on the tail cap is loose and difficult to operate. I'd send it back for a refund but i don;t want to pay to ship it back and go through the hassle.

I use it all day at work

I use this every day to evaluate patients and I really love the fact that it always starts on low, it’s the perfect brightness level even in a lit room. It renders color beautifully; the light it emits is so crisp it’s like like a window letting out a little bit of soft natural sunlight. My only gripe is that once in a blue moon it won’t turn on unless I loosen and retighten the cap

Exactly as advertised

I received my order quickly. It was in perfect condition.

The light is small enough to carry with pens. The dimmest brightness setting is useful as a default for not blinding people (or myself), and the brightest setting is plenty bright. I like that it uses AAA, which are everywhere.

Compact and Bright Medical Light

This light is for my first aid kit. It always starts out on low for use when checking an injured person's pupils. There are white painted circles on the exterior of the light to get an accurate estimate of the size of pupil dilation. The next click gives a medium bright light and a 3rd click will go to high power of180 lumens. Small enough to carry in a shirt pocket or pants pocket. This can also be used for every day carry, women's pocket books, or as a versatile light for a car so you can do map checks, write notes on Low, inspect engine trouble on Medium, or signal oncoming traffic or search around the car on High,

Almost the best

I've used this penlight for more than two years as a clinician. I love the textured finish and the color of the light. The color makes wounds and skin look true compared to other LED penlights with a blue hue.

A pen light at it's best

Perfect product Nitecore.

Nice penlight

As a nurse I have tried many penlights. Most are too dim or too bright. This has become my go to light. The low beam is perfect for checking pupils while the higher power options are great for when you really need to see to find something under a bed without turning on the room lights.

Top Quality

These lights are built really tough. You needn't worry about using them in a wet environment as they're waterproof. They're intensely bright. I recommend using lithium AAA batteries in them.

Highly recommended

I had to purchase a pen light for my daughter's Paramedic class and was blown away by the fast shipping and discount code. I will definitely be back when it's time for more equipment! Thank you!

Low power beam at startup - perfect!

This penlight is a solid, well made instrument, with simple controls, AAA battery usage instead of other types that can be hard to find outside of major metro areas. Not rechargeable, which is my second favorite feature. The best feature is that it always turns on in the low-power mode. Simple controls - one button with a stiff spring to prevent accidental activation.

I am very happy that this is a simple, sturdy unit. Ditto on the AAA battery requirement .

I love your flashlights

I've been purchasing your flashlights for a few years now and I'm genuinely impressed. I unfortunately lost my last MT60 somewhere in in the field, But I couldn't go without it! Its extremely useful for my line of work, and perfect for every day carry! I've only been using the MT60MD for a few days now and I love it as much as the original, 10/10 great flashlight guys!

Great Product

Penlight looks sturdy and very well made. Only complaint is that the light is almost too bright to use to assess pupils, even on the lowest setting. Works excellently as a flashlight on high settings. Would definitely recommend this product.

Shipped to Alaska, Fast

I’m happy with how quickly it showed up, the minimal packaging, the use of USPS. I’ve only just tested the light, but it seems to work well. I really like the nitecore site use too.

Customer service is pretty good so far and responds quickly
Cons:
I dont like the printed pupil chart very tacky
Battery rattles inside the flashlight
The rear button feels lose at times
Clip isn't very strong compared to my thorfire

Great medical penlight

Bought this for the gf and she says she loves it much more than the disposable ones they provide for her at work. She likes the NW tint a lot more and says colors look more accurate.
