The Nitecore EDC23 packs 2,500 lumens and a 306-yard beam into the shortest flat flashlight in Nitecore's lineup — just 4.05" long and 3.56 oz. Dual UHi 25 LEDs drive five brightness levels plus Strobe, a digital OLED screen shows the current brightness level and remaining battery power at a glance, and mode memorization returns the Nitecore EDC23 to your last-used setting. Half-press and hold the mode button for instant Turbo, or fully press and hold for Strobe.
The built-in battery recharges over USB-C in about 1.5 hours and delivers up to 39 hours of runtime on the lowest mode. A sliding lock switch with Semi and Full lockout prevents accidental activation, and the IP54-rated body shrugs off weather with 2-meter impact resistance.
