The updated model based on the TM9K TAC, has the new NiteLab UHi 40 MAX LED's with 27 cores. This gives the TM9K Pro a longer range beam compared to the TAC version. Body design is very similar between these two, but I show it in more detail, giving my views on the changes and performance overall.

This one is a keeper. I'll be getting the TM09K Pro shortly.
I never use the strobe mode on my flashlights, so I'll be not shedding tears because the new TM09K Pro doesn't have it. Some people consider the strobe mode to be important, but I don't see the purpose of it, other than being very annoying when I engage it by mistake.
I'm happy to see how the TM09K Pro can sustain the high mode - 2,000 Lumens - consistently. The possibility of switching between high intensity flood mode and spot mode - albeit only for a short time - allows for a complete scan of the surroundings at night.
I would remark the fact that in most Nitecore flashlights using the inset pedal button, such control is to switch between Low - Medium - High - Turbo modes, while in the TM09K Pro the pedal button invokes the flood/spot light blast, while the On/Off button allow to select the normal brightness levels. The only other Nitecore flashlight that has this type of UI is the SRT7i, the one with continuous brightness control via a rotating ring.
Thank you for your review, it is highly appreciated.

It's pretty good overall the new LEDs are sort of a game changer in terms of the beam output, really the previous ones were pretty floodlight beam a bit too much for me, with this you can get a decent bit of range out of it, that's the difference and it's well worth it I think.
I like the music you used while doing beamshots. I feel like listening to it while having a night ride.
As for the flashlight, I'll always pass to built-in batteries 😅
Thanks I try to find alright music for free on the Tube library. Yes I'm not into the built in battery stuff either, but it seems to be getting more common (no idea why!)
The extra bulk and size isn’t worth the few seconds of extra bright lumens.
Probably not no, it would be better to have a replaceable cell and I'd happily take less lumens for that
This is a bit pointless if you already have the EDC35?
Choice isn't a bad thing, there are differences between them.
That cover looks problematic as it's the only way to charge it. Removable batteries Nitecore 🔋
Yeah I agree, problem is 4 out of the 5 I've in for reviews/videos have a built in battery! Seems to be a trend these days, but in Europe they are making phone makers design models with easy to replace batteries (should have been this way all along!). I don't think this built in battery trend is sustainable particularly for products like this with high drain on batteries.
Flashlights with built-in, non-replaceable battery are meant for corporate or departmental use. They simplify assets management on one side, and allow the flashlight to be more compact and cheaper. The dark side of built-in batteries is the short lifetime of the flashlight, two or three years of use: this is fine for a department, but it is unacceptable for a collector or a private user, especially when Nitecore et al. don't provide a service manual and spare replacement batteries...
@@Ray_of_Light62 I have to be honest it wipes out any interest even in keeping them (and I don't even pay for them! OK I have to work a bit to make a video). I lose interest quickly with a built in battery as the fun is over a couple of years down the road, it's wasteful too. Not super Eco based, but it's pointless to have disposable items like this when a simple battery change extends the working lifespan.
Built-in Battery 👎 few seconds on highest modes 👎 no strobe 👎 Lumen Shield sale's pitch 👎 aka Turbo flimsy charging port 👎long recharge time 🐌👎way to many cons i have older Nitecore flashlights better than this crap Nitecore are going backwards imho 😢 anyone reading this do yourself a favour and purchase the original Nitecore MH12 it takes both 18650 21700 battery's flattop or button top because it has springs in the tail cap and head which also makes it more shockproof when dropped and you can charge your batteries way faster with an external charger I know Nitecore have the latest upgraded Emmiters but I certainly won't purchase another until they get their act together if I was the only one I'd consider purchasing would be the MH12 Pro but I have know need for it as the original MH12 is more than good enough for me and it's 5yrs old and it has a good Emmiter the SST 40 what's not to like besides this abomination sorry I call a spade a spade .
@@jackglennon497 The new LEDs are useful with more range, but as I said the trend of "built in battery" models is a put off and I continue to not be that interested in ones which have it. The charging time is reasonable IMO for the 21700 cell.
