The Nitecore TM28 is a powerful upgrade to the popular TM26, earning its “Tiny Monster” title by packing an extraordinary 6000-lumen output into a compact, palm-sized body. Equipped with four CREE XHP35 HI LEDs, this flashlight achieves a peak beam intensity of 107,200 candelas and an impressive throw distance of up to 716 yards (655 meters), making it an ideal tool for search and rescue missions, outdoor exploration, and professional use where extreme brightness is essential.
Despite its small form factor, the TM28 offers rugged durability with an IPX8 waterproof rating, 1-meter impact resistance, and construction from aerospace-grade aluminum alloy with HAIII military-grade hard anodizing. It can be tail-standed and even mounted on a tripod (not included), making it a versatile option for photographers, campers, or anyone needing hands-free illumination.
The TM28 is powered by four 18650 Li-ion or IMR batteries (four 3100mAh IMR18650 batteries are included) and offers up to 1000 hours of runtime on the lowest setting. Users can choose between five brightness levels, two operating modes (Daily and Search), and three special functions—Strobe, SOS, and Beacon—all controlled via a user-friendly, dual-stage single button interface.
A standout feature is the integrated OLED display, which provides real-time updates on brightness levels, battery voltage, remaining runtime, and internal temperature. This ensures you're never caught off guard and always in control. The TM28 also includes an intelligent charging circuit that automatically selects the optimal charging mode based on battery type when plugged into the included AC adapter.
With precision digital optics technology (PDOT), temperature regulation for safe operation, anti-reflective mineral-coated lenses, and protective retaining rings, the TM28 is engineered for performance, reliability, and long-term use—no matter how demanding the environment.
