The CLOUD DEFENSIVE MCH Duty High-Output Flashlight redefines what a hard-use, take-it-to-hell-and-back flashlight should be. Powerful, versatile, configurable, reliable and durable to the point of absurdity, the MCH Duty does not disappoint. It has no equal.
Durability
With the advent of the OWL, Cloud Defensive became known as a company that prioritizes innovation, power and ultimately, survivability of the product. And the MCH Duty carries that legacy forward. Shrouded in S7 tool steel, the light head features the best tech they have ever packed into light head. That protective tool steel is then heat-treated to 51-55 Rockwell and Black Nitride plated. Resulting in an amazing and brutally-tough piece of equipment.
We all know the real world is not a gentle place. The MCH Duty is not only ANSI/PLATO FL1 compliant. It is also waterproof to an IPX-8 rating, being serviceable to 100ft for 24hrs. Because the real world is not a dry place either.
Capability
The MCH Duty High Output brings an incredible 1,800 lumens to bear on whatever situation you find yourself facing. Calibrated for a massive "hot spot" with an overwhelming 50,000 Candela, the Duty light gives you the unique ability to not only push light far into the night, but to do so with more expansive coverage than anything else in its class. This gives you world-class situational awareness, defeats dead space and lights up shadows. It completely renders a would-be-aggressors night-adapted vision useless. In short, it overwhelms the situation with light and performs precisely as you want a handheld, hard-use light to perform. The MCH Duty gives you a capability you have never had.
In a lower-power mode, the MCH Duty becomes a wonderful administrative flashlight with very extended run-times. For example, you can run the Duty in "low" power mode (10% output) for most of the night on a fresh battery charge. As such, this is the light that lives on your nightstand, in your car, in your desk, in your garage or anywhere else for that matter. The MCH Duty is the most versatile light Cloud Defencive have ever produced.
Programmability
The MCH Duty is fully programmable, by the end-user. This allows you, for the first time, full control over the output of the flashlight. Every MCH ships from the factory in Mode 1. But there are 4 other modes you can select, based on your needs. And you can change the programming anytime you want. So the MCH is more configurable than ever before.
Tail Cap Configurations
Sporting the most diverse group of users of any MCH light offered, the MCH Duty needed to be highly configurable. Being equally at home in your glove box as it is on your nightstand or in your plate carrier, Cloud Defencive ensured you could set up the tail of the light in a way that best suites your need.
Regardless of your intended use, know your MCH allows you to carefully select from an industry-first (and Patented) Adjustable Negligent Discharge protection system. Each light ships with the full ND Protection package and the user can now configure the tail cap for their respective needs. Be it deep-pocket carry, belt carry or being at home on your plate carrier, the MCH Duty is built for the task. And fully configurable to what you need. If your need changes, you just adjust the ND Protection accordingly with parts you already have. Whatever you are doing, wherever you are going, the MCH Duty stands ready.
Serviceable Lens
Like the OWL, the MCH Duty features a removeable and field-serviceable bezel ring. This allows you to replace a broken lens by yourself, should you manage to break the glass. It is worth noting, the glass on the MCH Duty is the thickest in the business and is incredibly tough. But it is glass. And it can break. If that happens, you can put a new lens on in under 1 minute. Saves you on the warranty drama. Saves us time here at world headquarters and makes everybody happier.
