Nitecore introduces two new models in its TM line of flashlights: the TM03 CRI and TM28 are true "Tiny Monsters", offering a staggering 2.600 and 6.000 lumen output!
Among the many new products introduced this year by Nitecore, we have chosen two of them, in the Nitecore TM, or "Tiny Monster" line of flashlights.
And it's really no wonder they're called "Tiny Monsters": as they both offer a staggering high level of output, which makes them perfect for all uses, from EDC to self-defense, from duty/tactical to civil defense and rescue.
Nitecore TM03 CRI
The Nitecore TM03 CRI runs on a single 18650 battery and is the brightest flashlight on the market to do so. Equipped with a CREE XHP70, this light is capable of up to 2600 lumens available in a suppressive burst for tactical and self-defense purposes.
This CRI edition is optimized for accurate portrayal of color and can be taken anywhere in your backpack or pocket. It is perfect for law enforcement, military, searching, camping, hiking, exploring, security, or anything else that requires extreme luminosity and beam throw.
