The Nitecore EDC31 is a high-performance everyday carry flashlight that offers remarkable brightness and long-range capabilities in a compact form. At the heart of this powerful tool is the cutting-edge NiteLab UHi 20 MAX LED, capable of emitting a staggering 3,500 lumens with a peak beam distance of 415 yards. This flashlight is designed with both convenience and versatility in mind. It features intuitive tail switch operation: a half-press and hold activates a 1,500-lumen spotlight mode for targeted searching, while a full press and hold unleashes the full 3,500-lumen Turbo mode. A single full press powers the light on or off, and when turned on, a half-press cycles through four brightness levels optimized for everyday use. The EDC31 also includes a memory function, so your last used brightness level is retained.
Designed for modern users, the EDC31 is fully USB-C rechargeable via an integrated charging port. It houses a built-in 3,800mAh lithium-ion battery that can deliver a runtime of up to 57 hours on the lowest setting and can be fully recharged in under two hours. A power indicator on the tailcap keeps you informed of charging status and battery levels at a glance. The flashlight also incorporates Nitecore's Rapid Lock™ sliding switch system, offering two lockout modes—Half Lockout, which still permits access to the Search and Lumin Shield™ features, and Full Lockout to prevent any accidental activation.
Compact yet rugged, the EDC31 measures just 4.46 inches in length and weighs only 3.53 ounces with the pocket clip attached. It’s built to withstand tough conditions with a durable aluminum alloy body finished in HA III military-grade hard anodizing. Its construction meets IP68 waterproof and dustproof standards, capable of being submerged up to 2 meters, and it can survive drops from the same height. The flashlight also features a micro-textured reflector that delivers both long-range and wide-angle illumination, while its Advanced Temperature Regulation (ATR) module ensures optimal performance and protection against overheating. With intelligent design, superior build quality, and exceptional brightness, the Nitecore EDC31 stands out as a premium choice for professional users and everyday carriers alike.
