Nitecore EDC23 Slim Rechargeable Flashlight

Description

The Nitecore EDC23 is an ultra-slim rechargeable EDC flashlight built around two NiteLab UHi 25 LEDs, with output reaching 2,500 lumens and a beam distance up to 280 m. Its flat 4.05 in body is only about 1.30 in wide, giving it a compact pocket profile while still providing substantially more output than a small keychain or penlight.

Five brightness levels cover routine use from low-output close work through full Turbo, and a dedicated strobe mode is also available. A multifunction OLED display shows operating information such as the selected brightness level, lumen output, battery voltage, remaining runtime, and lockout status, so you can check the light without guessing how much power is left.

Dual tail switches provide direct control, while level presetting lets you choose the preferred brightness before activation. STROBE READY provides quick access to strobe, intelligent mode memory recalls previous settings, and Nitecore’s Rapid Lock system offers semi-lockout and full-lockout modes to help prevent accidental activation in a pocket or bag.

The built-in 1,500mAh Li-ion battery charges through USB-C and provides up to 39 hours of runtime at the lowest setting. Advanced Power Cut-Off reduces standby drain, and Advanced Temperature Regulation automatically manages output as heat builds during extended high-output use. Precision orange-peel reflectors balance throw with useful spill for broader illumination.

The body combines high-strength stainless steel sections with a PVD titanium coating and is rated IP54 for dust and splash resistance, with impact resistance to 2 m. A pocket clip, lanyard, and USB-C charging cable are included.
