Nitecore TM03 CRI and TM28: the new Tiny Monsters
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.
Plus, the brand new Nitecore New i4 intelligent battery charger has also been launched as an upgrade of the previous i4 charger, to make lives easier for those operators who rely on Nitecore flashlights on a daily basis.
Nitecore TM03 CRI
The Nitecore TM03 CRI is the world's most powerful flashlight to run on a single 18650 rechargeable battery
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.
Note: Nitecore TM03 doesn't come with the built-in charging capability. The dedicated IMR 18650 can be charged with any Nitecore 18650 charger, including the New i4 model. However, the Nitecore UM10 charger can be purchased jointly with the TM03 CRI.
