Nitecore/EDC

Nitecore EDC27 UHi

Nitecore's flat slab EDC in its current form: two NiteLab UHi 20 emitters push 3,100 lumens to 305 metres from a body 1.24 inches wide and 4.3 ounces, with an OLED display on the face. Rapid Lock keeps it from switching on in a pocket. The 1,700 mAh cell is sealed in and charges over USB-C, the housing is rated IP54 rather than fully waterproof, and the maker publishes no CRI figure.

Beam profile

Balanced, about 24° wide. A usable hotspot with enough spill to see around it.

Estimated from 3,100 lm ÷ 23,500 cd — how this works
