The Nitecore EDC23 flashlight combines exceptional brightness and compact design to deliver a powerful yet portable everyday carry (EDC) lighting solution. With an impressive output of 2,500 lumens and a beam throw reaching up to 306 yards, the EDC23 stands out as the shortest flat flashlight in Nitecore’s lineup at just 4.05 inches long. Weighing only 3.56 ounces, this sleek rectangular flashlight features a thickness of 0.89 inches, making it easy to carry in your pocket, lay flat on a surface, or clip onto a belt. Its weatherproof IP54 rating and 2-meter impact resistance ensure reliable performance in various environments.
Designed for ease of use and tactical versatility, the EDC23 offers five brightness levels alongside a Strobe mode. Its digital OLED screen provides real-time information on brightness, battery level, and runtime, while the flashlight’s memorization function returns it to the last-used mode after being switched off. Quick access to Turbo and Strobe modes is facilitated by half-press and full-press hold actions on the mode button, respectively. To prevent overheating, the flashlight automatically lowers brightness if accidentally activated on High mode, activating only during unintended use. A sliding lock switch prevents accidental activation, with Semi Lockout allowing limited access to Turbo and Strobe, and Full Lockout disabling all functions for added safety.
Charging the EDC23 is convenient via its built-in USB-C port. It can be fully recharged in approximately 1.5 hours and offers a maximum runtime of up to 39 hours on the lowest brightness setting. Powered by two UHi 25 LEDs, it delivers a peak beam intensity of 20,720 candela, supported by precision metal orange peel reflectors that provide both long-range and wide-angle illumination. The flashlight is equipped with a 1,500mAh Li-ion battery and benefits from Advanced Power Cut-Off technology for ultra-low standby power consumption and a highly efficient constant current circuit that ensures stable output.
Additional features include dual tail switches for intuitive operation, a level preset function for customizable brightness settings, and STROBE READY™ technology for rapid access to a strobe mode with randomized frequencies for strong disorienting effects. The EDC23 also incorporates an Advanced Temperature Regulation module and a high-strength stainless steel body with PVD titanium coating for durability. Overall, the Nitecore EDC23 is a compact, powerful, and reliable flashlight ideal for everyday carry, tactical use, and outdoor adventures.
