The Nitecore EDC33 is a powerful everyday carry (EDC) flashlight designed to deliver exceptional brightness and throw distance, making it perfect for a wide range of uses. Equipped with the innovative NiteLab UHi 20 MAX LED, the EDC33 produces an impressive maximum output of 4000 lumens and achieves a beam throw of up to 492 yards. Its user-friendly operation features a single tail switch: a full press turns the light on or off, while a half-press cycles through four brightness levels. The flashlight intelligently remembers the last brightness setting used, even after being turned off. For quick access to momentary modes, holding a half-press activates a 1700-lumen spotlight for search purposes, and holding a full press unleashes the full 4000-lumen output. To prevent overheating, the EDC33 automatically reduces brightness when the beam is pointed close to surfaces.
Convenience is a key feature of the EDC33, which offers USB-C rechargeable capability. The charging port is hidden under a twist-off USB-C cover on the tail, and a power indicator signals when charging is complete. With a full charge, the flashlight provides up to 63 hours of continuous use on its lowest setting, and charging time is quick, taking only about two hours to fully recharge. The flashlight also incorporates two lockout modes: Half Lockout allows access to the Search and Lumin Shield™ modes to prevent accidental full activation, while Full Lockout disables the flashlight entirely for secure transport or storage.
Despite its compact design—measuring just 4.55 inches long and weighing only 4.48 ounces with the clip attached—the EDC33 is built tough. It boasts an IP68 rating for water and dust resistance and can withstand impacts from drops of up to two meters. Additionally, the flashlight has tail stand capability, enabling stable placement on flat surfaces for hands-free use. Constructed from military-grade 7075-T6 aluminum alloy with a durable HA III hard-anodized finish, the EDC33 combines strength with reliability.
The EDC33’s advanced features extend to its electronics and optics. It incorporates a 9-core UHi 20 MAX LED system, delivering a peak beam intensity of 54,500 candela and a maximum throw distance of 450 meters. The flashlight is powered by a built-in 4,000mAh Li-ion battery supported by an intelligent charging circuit, Advanced Power Cut-Off (APC) technology for ultra-low standby power consumption, and an Advanced Temperature Regulation (ATR) module to maintain optimal operating temperatures. The optical lenses include a double-sided scratch-resistant coating for durability. All these elements come together to provide a highly efficient, stable output with superior performance suitable for everyday carry and demanding environments.
