Nitecore EDC23 EDC Flashlight, 2500 Lumen Ultra-Slim Flat Shape USB-C Rechargeable Fast Charging with Digital OLED Display, Mechanical Lock Switch

I am a little bit of a snob when it comes to flashlights. Generally speaking I carry Surefire lights. I am in a line of work where my equipment is essential to my being able to go home at the end of the day. This light, however, looked interesting and I decided to try it out. It seems to be well build and pretty intuitive to use. I like the lockout feature. I carry the light as a backup light in my pocket at work and being able to locking out means that I don't really worry about it turning on in my pocket if my gear or something bumps the button. The different light levels are good. I like it has a strobe feature. The display is very helpful, showing the light level and battery level. I would consider buying it again or maybe a similar model.

I love this flashlight. It has several levels of brightness, a strobe mode, a guage showing your charge level. A slide lock to prevent accidently leaving it on. I just feels good in your hand and because it is flat it fits in tight places. I bought some new shoes/slippers. They were killing me, looked inside saw and felt nothing. Stuck the flashlight in there with my cell phone and found the issue. No room with a regular flashlight. It has a nice belt clip. I use this flashlight all of the time because it is so compact. It is just so much better than any of other 10 flashlights I own and it is rechargable. You will absolutely love this flashlight.

I have never used any nitecore products until recently since their products started appearing on my feed. I bought this flashlight as my EDC and I was not disappointed in the quality, fit and finish of the flashlight. The build is of excellent quality and it does not feel cheap like others I have used. The flashlight is easy to use. It's bright on the highest setting of 2500 lumens with a good throw and it is also very useful on the lowest setting when brightness isn't required. The buttons on the top of the flashlight function and seem like they will last a long time even if they go through some beating and rough usage. I work as an armed transit driver and this is perfect for me in all aspects. The screen is a nice touch because I am able to see what setting I am in and how much battery I have left. I love that this is a USB C type charging device. I think what really sold me on it was the fact that it has a safety switch. I have used other flashlights that tend to turn on in the pocket and burn my thighs. Since owning this product, I have not had it once turn on accidentally in my pockets. The clip on it doesn't feel cheap either. Overall the flashlight is of good quality and materials, and the functionality make is easy to use even for the novice user diving into the world of EDC flashlights.

Purchased a few months ago and this is a really cool light at first every once in awhile the half press function won't let me cycle to the preferred brightness now it's consistanly not functional I didn't see a contact seller option in the Amazon store it's pretty gently used most of the time in my drawer when not in my pocket love the light the turbo and strobe function work awesome and it's nice to see how much battery life but they have a serious issue(many others experience the same problem)with the main button function if seller is willing to contact me and solve this that would be nice otherwise I won't be getting another nitecore

Overall impressions: an innovative take at the current square/rectangular light trend. Good battery life, OK outputs(see caveats), less than ideal for me UI and switching. Pocket clip leaves things to be desired. Overall a great form factor but it’s UI, blatant lies regarding output and silly switch design, makes this a pass unless you’re just a huge Nitecore fan, at least for me. For more details, read on: Brightness/light levels: Mode spacing is acceptable but the claimed max output is a bit of a misnomer as it’s a very temporary turbo and the light gets very hot. This has become a common trend of light manufacturers. They have dramatically inflated output claims based on short duration turbos that output far too much heat. Also missing is a true moonlight mode. I’ve come to really appreciate single lumen or similar modes. Great for nightstands/checking on kids without waking anyone. Runtimes: Ran for the workweek and charged once in the middle. The display is pretty slick and appears relatively accurate in my use case. Switches/UI: Not a fan of the buttons at all. I prefer lights able to tails and, raised buttons really prevent this, offset buttons doubly so. The mode spacing is fine. The turbo button and strobe are useless functions for me. They don’t belong in this light. Additionally, the turbo/strobe button would be more useful if one could select either strobe or turbo when that button is mashed and held. Under stress the likelihood of being able to meter your press for constant on turbo is near impossible. In general strobe functions are a selling point but no more effective at dazzling a potential BG than a blast of white light with the right candela. Leave the strobe modes out. Pocket Clip: functional, grabs fine but significantly too long. It makes sliding the light into most pockets tricky at best. The lanyard loop location is pointless and overall the clip rides fairly high resulting in a good amount of the light hanging out of the pocket. This mat be an issue for some. Form Factor/Display: Great pocketable shape/size and the display is slick. Being able to select output before powering on the light is very cool. A neat squared light offering from Nitecore, but without some significant overhaul to the UI and removal of the silly overstated turbo and strobe modes, likely the last square light from them I’ll own.

I was looking for a small EDC flashlight to attach to my backpack. This flashlight has worked great when needed. It's very easy to turn on and cycle through brightness levels. It also feel pretty solid for a flashlight that is so small. My only concern is the non user replaceable battery. For the cost and my needs the pros outweigh the one potential con.

Super starke Lampe mit Einhandbedienung. Besonders gefällt mir die Sicherung!

Quick delivery and an excellent tactical flashlight with enormous power in a very small package!

Super Qualität 👍

I’m not sure what more you could ask for in an EDC flashlight. It’s tiny (smaller than I expected even), super powerful, good features and a long battery life. I suppose you could go with one of the higher lumen models but this is plenty powerful at its diminutive size - bigger wouldn’t be worth it for me.

The size and shape make this a perfect EDC EveryDay Carry. Once you get it set up and get used to the functions, very handy. Having an actual digital display is fantastic. The only thing I would change is to be able to reverse the clip for attaching to a hat bill or what ever.
