Description

Introducing the all new for 2024 MF Tactical Charlie, the smallest and lightest 18650 powered rechargeable LED flashlight we have ever built. Charlie is a tiny and versatile USB-C rechargeable flashlight that puts out a wide beam with up to an incredible 1500 lumens of light. Designed to be the most useful hands-free flashlight you will ever own, Charlie becomes a fully adjustable headlamp when used with the included elastic nylon easy mount headband, a work light when mounted on a metal surface with its built-in magnetic base and the perfect close-in body light when the 90 degree head is tucked into a uniform or shirt pocket. At just 3.9″ in length and 1.5 oz (without battery), this tiny modern marvel will run up to 4 hours on a single 3500mAh 18650 battery and and 200 hours on candle mode.

And Charlie also includes MF Tactical‘s programmable mode technology which eliminates the dilemma of having to decide between a single mode or a multi-mode flashlight. Charlie lets you choose exactly how many and which modes you want your flashlight to have, and in 30 seconds you program it to operate with just your selected modes. Available modes for programming are high, medium, low, candle mode and SOS. Plus, direct access fast strobe mode is always available with just a double click of the button whether the light is on or off. If your needs change down the road, simply reprogram Charlie at any time.

Charlie has a built-in intelligent charging circuit for internal charging via a USB-C port so it can be quickly charged by plugging its included USB cable into any powered USB-C outlet. For the fastest recharge times, add our accessory high power 3A, 5V AC USB-C adapter and plug into any 110V wall outlet. Like all modern MF Tactical flashlights,

Charlie has real time battery level monitoring in the switch that glows green when your battery is between full and 20% power, red when the battery is between 20% and 10%, and flashes red when it has less than 10% charge remaining.

Charlie charges a battery internally via USB, or the battery can be removed and charged in an optional external USB powered charger. By using multiple batteries and an optional external charger, you can leave the flashlight plugged in when not in use, and you will always have spare charged batteries for those times when you need the flashlight to run all night.

As our long time customers know, MF Tactical is the real deal, and we design and build our flashlights right here in New Jersey. The difference comes down to quality, and MF Tactical takes pride in the fact that nobody beats us in producing the highest quality tactical LED flashlights built in America. And we stand behind our quality with our one year limited warranty and our legendary customer service.

Charlie is an ECO Cell Certified flashlight that runs on a single high voltage 18650 rechargeable li-ion protected battery or an MF Tactical ECO Cell Certified battery. All MF Tactical ECO Cell Certified flashlights have over-charge and over-discharge protection functions built into the flashlight so that the battery no longer needs its own built-in protection circuit board. This way you do not have to also add the cost and complexity of a protection circuit to every battery you purchase, resulting in a more economical flashlight. You can choose to power your Charlie on either 2600mAh Extended Capacity or, for about 35% longer run time, 3500mAh Ultra Capacity batteries.

While the price shown for the flashlight is without batteries, just use the “Battery Options” and “Add External Charger” menus when you put the light in your cart, and you can choose from a variety of options with one or two of our top quality rechargeable li-ion batteries and an external USB smart charger for charging spare batteries. We also stock essential accessories, such as a custom ballistic nylon holster, a high power 3A, 5V AC USB-C adapter for faster charging in a wall outlet and a USB-C to USB-C adapter for charging in an older USB-A outlet.

  1. Mike Rose (verified owner)

    I have several MF lights, and even though not the brightest I have, the Charlie is definitely the most useful. Have used the magnetic base and snapped into the headsttap many times, Cannot imagine leaving the house without it.

  2. David Lambert

    Finally! A headlight that’s bright enough when you need it that can be dimmed when you need it. Having a good hand free light during the dark winter makes outdoor chores much easier and safer.
