Need a flashlight that's compact, extremely powerful and durable? The Nitecore EDC23 delivers 2500 lumens in a flat body that's great to carry and easy to control. With USB-C charging, IP68 water resistance, and a mechanical lock against accidental activation, it's ready to handle any situation, wherever you are.

Design that makes sense

The first thing that catches your eye about the EDC23? It is flat. Compared to conventional round flashlights, it is much more comfortable to carry in your pocket. It does not stick out, does not bother, but when you need it, you have it at hand. In addition, it is made of anodized aluminum, which means excellent durability and long life.

Power that can handle the darkness

The EDC23 offers a choice of six different light modes. And the highest of them, the turbo mode, can handle incredible 2500 lumens. That is a luminous flux that will cut through the darkness like scissors. In addition, it offers a practical display showing the remaining battery capacity, the lighting mode and the endurance time.

Control for professionals

Thanks to the mechanical switch, you can lock the flashlight so that it does not accidentally turn on in your pocket. This not only saves battery, but also prevents the flashlight from heating up unintentionally when lit at maximum power for a long time.

As for the lighting itself, the flashlight has two-stage buttons that allow for momentary and permanent switching on. And if you need to surprise your opponent, there is also a powerful strobe.
