Cloud Defensive MCH Duty HC Features
Construction
The MCH Duty-HC incorporates the best tech Cloud Defensive has ever packed into a handheld flashlight, including some updates to the tailcap design that further improve reliability on an already rock-solid and dependable handheld. These same improvements have made their way across the entire MCH line.
The Duty-HC is made from Type III Hard Coat anodized 6061-T6 aluminum, and shrouded in S7 tool steel, the light head is Black Nitride plated and heat-treated to 51-55 Rockwell for absurd levels of strength. And if you do somehow manage to break the ultra thick 3mm lens, the glass is field serviceable and replaceable. The Duty-HC is ready for any task, in all weather conditions, and is IPX-8 rated to be fully submerged up to 100 feet for 24 hours. Proudly made in the USA.
Innovation
Along with it’s ultra-durable construction, the Duty-HC beam pattern matches that of industry leading REIN weapon light, delivering a tight “hot spot” that can easily identify objects out to 300+ yards while maximizing penetration through photonic barriers such as smoke, fog, tint, and other light sources. At the same time, it provides ample spill for enhanced situational awareness.
Cloud Defensives deep carry pocket clip is made from heat-treated steel and offers the perfect amount of tension for securing the light in your pocket or elsewhere. If that’s not your style, the Duty-HC is fully compatible with aftermarket Thyrm clips including the popular Thrym Switchback.
Included with your handheld is an industry-first, Adjustable Negligent Discharge Protection system. This patented ND protection system enables users to configure their tailcap for any application—whether for deep-pocket, belt carry, or plate carrier attachment—by simply swapping out the ND protection rings to achieve their desired height and feel.
Power
With an impressive 1,250 lumens and 100,000 candela on tap, the Duty light is capable of projecting light far into the night while providing more expansive coverage than other handhelds on the market. This feature enables world-class situational awareness by illuminating dead spaces and brightening shadows. Additionally, its Dual Fuel capability ensures that your Duty-HC can operate with either 18650 batteries or CR123s, offering flexibility in various situations. Fully tested to ANSI/PLATO-FL1 standards.
When set to low-power mode, the Duty-HC transforms into an excellent administrative flashlight by offering prolonged run-times. In this mode (10% output) the Duty-HC can illuminate for the majority of the night on just a single charge. This makes it the ideal light for your bedside, in your vehicle, desk drawer, garage, or virtually any place you can think of. The MCH Duty-HC is the most adaptable flashlight we’ve ever created.
(Note: Expect performance degradation with CR123A batteries)
Supports most flattop, unprotected cells. However, the MCH Duty-HC has minimal compatibility with Protected cells; hence, compatibility with such cells should not be presumed. Cloud Defensive strongly recommend utilizing Unprotected cells for their significant performance enhancements.
Programmable
The MCH Duty-HC is 5-mode programmable, providing you with unparalleled control over output settings. Additionally, you have the flexibility to change programming whenever you wish, further enhancing the MCH’s configurability. See our detailed programming instructions.
