I’m a light geek. I own all the lights, Cloud Defense , Streamlight, Modlight , Surefire and experiment with them on calls. My favorite overall is the MCH HC . It does better for me for vehicles, tree lines and large warehouses. I carry two on my belt when I’m in uniform. The MCH HC and Modlite PHL-V2.

Living on a farm, I chose the HC and it's the perfect light. Dogs go barking, can spot the armadillo or coyote or whatever out in the field. We use it so much, the wife said she wants one of her own. I'll have to oblige her wishes lol.

So i should share my story. I've had a hc edc and duty. Every model flickered. Multiple tail caps later 2 months after the new tail cap things would flicker. Being a flashlight enthusiast I had sure the battery ends were clean and body and tail cap tight. My last straw with your company was when I was on a night shift clearing a house while on duty. I deployed my mch duty and boom a low light flicker. I had to fart around for 5 minutes in a dark house to get my flashlight to work properly. Back up shows up 5 minutes later and their Chinese fenix olights and streamlights worked without fail. I was very pumped to be part of the cloud family. But after months of issues and tail caps failing there's a bigger design flaw going on there. My call while on work was the last straw. After bragging up my brand new cloud to co workers the laughing was embarrassing af. You can tell this to Sean because you guys have to seriously look into your products

I’ve read about quite a few instances of the flickering, and the fact that they didn’t even respond to your comment is concerning. I have an early Rein that’s been great, and I’ve been waiting to see if they would resolve the problem with the MCH, but apparently not.

@Pressurant i contacted them all the time. All they did was send out a new tail cap. Then the issue would start a month later. Did you read my write up? I was constantly emailing and them sending out 4 to 6 new tail caps. That was their solution
@Laurarium
@Laurarium 2 ай бұрын
@@subaruforester5062 Copy that. That is quite like surefire did when many LX2 had broken clips, sending out new parts. However, flickering is a much more severe issue than brken clips, they should repalce the whole light or at least fix it, making sure the problem is absolutely eliminated. By the way, 4-6 tail caps for each email is hilarious, you must have had a pile of those.

I own and use the EDC for duty. If the the "Duty" was available at the time, I may have picked it instead, but I'm still very satisfied with my current light. That being said, even the EDC is built like a tank (a much smaller tank than the Duty, but still a tank none the less). If the "Duty" is a beefed up version of the EDC, maybe there will be beefier version of the HC in the future?? A little extra lumens? A few thousand more candela? and a much more aggressive/offensive exterior design??? I'll be holding out for the prospect of that light in the future.

Got mch-hc df. It's not perfect, but close. MCH is the ONLY 🇺🇸 tactical flashlight in the market with 1) high candela 2) WML class durability 3) dual fuel capability and 4) programmable mode groups. Especially those programmability is the killer feature for EDC use. That being said, I hope next gen MCH to have 1) sustained output in high mode e.g. REIN 3.0 and 2) replaceable bezel/optic. Dropped my MCH a few times, and it seems to get dings on bezel more easily than other flashlights I've used.

The only problem I have with the MCH (kinda nitpicking) is that the body doesn’t have any texture to aid in gripping the light. I understand completely that it was designed to be pocket carried and the slick body helps prevent snagging on pockets etc… but I would at least like the option of some kind of texture on the body of the light because at work if I get oil or something on my hands it gets a little slippery for my liking. Even with that I still love the lights and I think the overall design is hands down the best on the market right now.

I’d like to see a no shits given big light with a massive rechargeable battery. Something that competes with the Maglite LEDs. Those guys have a flashlight with a battery that will last WEEKSs on the lowest setting. It’s not always about having the highest amount of output. I think battery life takes priority over massive output.
