UTL19

Q：What is the NITECORE UTL19, and how does it differ from a traditional flashlight?

A：The NITECORE UTL19 is the first product in the all-new UTL (Utility Tool & Light) series. Built around lighting, the NITECORE UTL19 integrates a replaceable-blade utility knife, white light, UV light, a green laser, and a glass breaker into one compact design, covering five functions: cutting, lighting, detection, signaling, and emergency use. Unlike traditional flashlights, the NITECORE UTL19 goes beyond illumination. It can also be used for opening packages, UV inspection, pointing, and emergency window breaking, reducing the need to switch between multiple tools.

Q：Which LED does the NITECORE UTL19 use?

A：The NITECORE UTL19 uses one NiteLab® M515S LED, a next-generation professional mobile lighting solution, featuring a groundbreaking X-shaped array package architecture. The M515S LED delivers higher overall luminous efficiency and more uniform beam with smoother, more flexible beam pattern control.

Q：What are the three light sources of the NITECORE UTL19, and what are they used for?

A：The NITECORE UTL19 features three light sources: white light, UV light, and a green laser. The white light delivers up to 1,800 lumens for general illumination. The UV light provides up to 1,350mW of output for applications such as leak detection, document verification, and hygiene inspections. The <5mW green beam with 3 power levels is ideal for outdoor guidance, worksite pointing, and presentations.

Q：What is the maximum output and beam distance of the NITECORE UTL19?

A：The NITECORE UTL19 delivers a maximum output of 1,800 lumens, a beam distance of up to 220 meters, and a peak beam intensity of 12,100cd. It offers three beam patterns—spotlight, floodlight, and mixed light—allowing users to choose the appropriate beam for different working distances and illumination needs.

Q：How many beam patterns does the NITECORE UTL19 offer, and what are they used for?

A：The NITECORE UTL19 offers three beam patterns: spotlight, floodlight, and mixed light. Spotlight provides focused illumination for viewing distant details, making it ideal for long-range observation and corridor inspections. Floodlight delivers wider illumination for close-range tasks such as equipment maintenance and workbench operations. Mixed light combines long-range and wide-area illumination, making it suitable for mobile tasks such as warehouse inspections, construction site work, and cargo handling.

Q：Why does the brightness of the NITECORE UTL19 decrease after prolonged use?

A：The NITECORE UTL19 features an Advanced Temperature Regulation (ATR) module. During extended high-output operation, the NITECORE UTL19 will automatically regulate the output according to the working condition and ambient environment to prevent overheating damage, maintain optimal performance, and ensure user safety.

Q：What is the maximum runtime of the NITECORE UTL19? Is it suitable for extended use?

A：Yes. The NITECORE UTL19 delivers up to 270 hours of runtime at the 1-lumen ULTRALOW level and 9 hours at the 80-lumen LOW level. The UV light runs for up to 15 hours at 200mW, while the green laser offers up to 210 hours of runtime. These extended runtimes make it suitable for prolonged use in applications such as nighttime patrols, leak detection, and worksite signaling.

Q：What are the glow locators of the NITECORE UTL19 used for? Does it contain radioactive materials?

A：The NITECORE UTL19 features glow locators that, when enabled, emit a continuous low-level glow in complete darkness, making the flashlight easy to locate in a toolbox, on a workbench, or inside a vehicle. The glow locators use a built-in ultra-low-power UV light source to excite fluorescent material to produce a faint glow. They contains no tritium or other radioactive elements and do not contain a radioactive source. They can be enabled or disabled as needed, with up to approximately 2 years of standby time.

Q：Does the NITECORE UTL19 support USB-C charging? How long does a full charge take?

A：The NITECORE UTL19 supports USB-C charging, with a full charge taking approximately 1 hour 15 minutes (5V/2A adapter). The universal port design removes the need for extra charging equipment, making daily carry and frequent use more convenient.

Q：How is the NITECORE UTL19 operated? Is it easy to use?

A：The NITECORE UTL19 features separate controls for its lighting and cutting functions, allowing each to be operated independently. The slide switch turns the light on and off and adjusts the brightness level. A short press of the M Button switches between light sources, while a long press provides quick access to the green laser. The blade slider extends and retracts the blade, while the blade lock switch locks and unlocks the blade. With intuitive controls and a straightforward operation, the UTL19 is easy to use.

Q：What are the dimensions and weight of the NITECORE UTL19, and how can it be carried?

A：The NITECORE UTL19 measures 129mm (5.08") in length, 39mm (1.54") in width, and 27mm (1.06") in height, and weighs 148g (5.22 oz). The NITECORE UTL19 features a deep carry pocket clip for discreet carry in a pocket or secure attachment to a belt or backpack strap. The clip helps minimize exposure and movement while carrying, making the UTL19 convenient for everyday carry and mobile tasks.

Q：What is the IP rating of the NITECORE UTL19? How durable is it?

A：The NITECORE UTL19 features an IP67 rating for dust and water resistance and is impact-resistant against drops from 1 meter. Its housing is made of aerospace-grade aluminum alloy and high-strength stainless steel, with wear-resistant Type III hard-anodized and PVD surface finishes, respectively. Six wear-prone areas are constructed from stainless steel for enhanced resistance to wear during frequent use in various environments.

Q：What applications is the NITECORE UTL19 suitable for?

A：The NITECORE UTL19 is suitable for a variety of applications, including equipment maintenance, workbench tasks, nighttime inspections, warehouse operations, package opening, and material trimming. Its utility knife handles cutting and trimming tasks, while the white light provides illumination at different distances. The UV light is useful for fluorescence inspection and leak detection, and the green laser assists with directional guidance and worksite demonstrations. The glass-breaking tips provide an additional emergency escape feature.
