The TM9K TAC is the successor of the well-known and popular TM9K from Nitecore. As with its predecessor, the TM9K TAC has a Li-Ion battery with a capacity of 5000mAh permanently installed.
The battery is charged via a USB-C port integrated in the lamp head. Thus, no extra charger is necessary. This integrated charger provides a charging power at which the battery is charged by about 80% after less than 2 hours.
The Nitecore TM9K TAC reaches a maximum output of 9800 lumens with a light range of 280 meters. The attached Tactical Ring can not be removed...
The TM9K TAC is operated via two switches which are both located on the end cap. The main switch is used to turn the lamp on and off and to activate the momentary light function.
The mode switch is used to cycle through the five different modes + the strobe mode. This is also equipped with a mode memory function. This is especially interesting for tactical use, because the last used light mode is stored and after switching off and on again, the lamp lights up exactly in this mode. The turbo mode can also be called up immediately via the mode switch. To protect the Nitecore TM9K TAC from unwanted activation, it is equipped with a lockout function.
A small LED light on the end cap of the lamp provides constant information about the charging status.
A constant switched light electronics, which ensures a continuous glow of the lamp, as well as a temperature control, which regulates the light output of the lamp as soon as the housing becomes too warm, allows a problem-free long-term use.
