ALL NEW EDC23 Flashlight - Nitecore

[@andersbomortensen757]

I use several Nitecore models at work in powerplants, boilerrooms and other crazy tasks we do. They have never let me down 👍

[@snakedoc9412]

Perfect form factor but that clip is huge! Hopefully there will be aftermarket support. Great overview as always my friend

[@isthi000ify]

Such a sikkkkk looking light, tactical as hell!!! Another amazing review mate 👌 thank you

[@GrimnirReaper]

I already mentioned it in the short you posted but that thing is finally 99% of what I want in a flashlight. Flat/short form factor, easily accessible strobe mode and fast enable/disable of the lockout without peforming a poem in morse code with half and full presses. The only thing that's missing from being 100%, is the ability to swap out the battery and maybe a two way clip. Until someone comes up with a light that has everything I mentioned, that one has the potential to be my last edc light until it breaks.

[@MoorlanderEDC]

It is an unfortunate downside of lights like this. I'm not sure any manufacturer has been able to work around that issue just yet. I'd triple check the Nitecore website on their warantee. I'm pretty sure it's got good coverage

[@GrimnirReaper]

@@MoorlanderEDC Yeah, unfortunately you can't have a threaded endcap like with round flashlights. The only way I can think of to make it work without loosing waterproofing, is to build it like a toothbrush case (for lack of a better example) and secure it with one or two screws. Not very quick to swap batteries but at least possible without sending it in or replacing the whole light.

[@MoorlanderEDC]

@@GrimnirReaper Rovyvon have a series of lights like this that have both an internal battery plus a replaceable AA battery. They use a clip/clap but ehy aren't as large or powerful as these

[@NITECOREWORLDWIDE]

Nice review!

[@MoorlanderEDC]

Thank you so much, I'm glad you enjoyed it

[@john0270]

Alright, now lets upgrade the water proofing! Hey is it true that you can change/pre select the brightness level without turning it on?(half press??)

[@MoorlanderEDC]

Yes you can. If you have press whilst off, the display will show you what level you're at. The interface combined with the screen is brilliant

[@john0270]

@MoorlanderEDC excellent, that is one thing i would appreciate vs my 2 week old edc25 😅 I am happy with the single function secondary button (turbo only/strobe only) the lockout switch is definitely a good thing.

[@ryanjordan7268]

Great video review 👍. Im very interested in purchasing the EDC23. ❤

[@Nitecore_Jim]

Thank you for the review!

[@MoorlanderEDC]

Always a pleasure Jim 👍

I've been using the nitecore p20ix for 2 years now and even with all these new lights coming out I can't see one I would count as an upgrade

[@pandamacska]

Nice light, but "moonlight" or "ultralow" is still missing (for me), that level is usually in the 0.5-3 lumen range, 15 lumens is quite high for lowest level. That is my only problem with these family of NC lights, other than that: very nice products, also brilliant for "defensive" purposes.

[@MoorlanderEDC]

It's a valid point. Moonlight or Ultralow is definitely usually lower. For me the Ultralow is my low setting

@@pandamacska I agree, the 15 lumens is super bright when your in the pitch dark

​@MoorlanderEDC Hi ,new subscriber here, nice torch. Could you send a link to that green fleece you're wearing please ?

[@CameraRay]

How long will it run on high before the brightness ramps down?

[@MoorlanderEDC]

Hmmmmmm... Not 100% sure. It doesn't say in the literature on the high kick down. It's mainly due to the advanced temperature regulator in there (similar to turbo) although there isn't a graphical read out with high. My guess is there is a kick down some where however it'll depend on how quickly, and hot the light gets. I've just turned mine on and timed it for 1.5minutes and the light didn't dip. I hope this helps

[@SimplifiedTruth]

@@MoorlanderEDC On high or turbo?

[@stewartfooter3580]

Nice vid mate,i do not mind 15 lumins as a moonlite mode,lets the bigfoots and odd folk in the woods that your about lol

[@MoorlanderEDC]

Ha ha ha... You can still see where you're going but stay clear if the rabid badgers 😂

Is the lens still plastic that melts when the high output is used for some time?

[@MoorlanderEDC]

Hmmmmmm... I'm not sure. I've used a knife to the 'tink tink' test o the lens. The EDC25 and EDC23 have more of a 'chink chink' glass sound, where as the EDC27 has more of a 'tonk tonk' sound. I hope that helps

[@BigBlock632]

Pulled that cuticle off a little deep a mate! Most of the time I've got 3 or 4 bleeding at the same time!😂

[@runplatypus]

NITECORE where is the ULTRALOW OR MOONLIGHT MODES on your new lights? You have it in the p20ix which i have and it is a bigger flashlight! these smaller lights should have moonlight!

[@Sumatra123]

The clip leaves a third of the light sticking out of your pocket. I don’t get that. How hard would it have been to make the clip deeper carry?

[@MoorlanderEDC]

Hmmmm... you're not wrong. It's definitely going to be a sticking point for some people. My guess is down to the tail switches. It's not a clip on/clip off clip like on other lights so it's fixed into the body with screws. A tube light will have more clearance between the clip fixture and the switches, where as lifting the fixture on this might interfere with the electronics in the tail switch due to it's slimmer form factor. Now that's a pure guess on my part. Hopefully it's not too far from the truth. It's definitely something Nitecore could look into

[@herofx2881]

awesome

[@thatrealba]

People crying for moonlight mode, but I just want two frickin modes and tail stand. 2957385584 modes is insane. And I hate my EDC27. Frickin thing refuses to stay in double lockout.

[@carrot5570]

This work in rain ??

[@MoorlanderEDC]

It does work in the rain. It was raining in the night when I filmed this content

[@john0270]

Absolutely do not get these lights wet! My edc 25 did not handle some work in the wash bay at work today.....

[@smokey11a1]

Can't replace the battery 😕

[@MoorlanderEDC]

Not on this model no. Most manufacturers making lights with this form factor have the same issue. I'm sure it's something they're working on though

[@MyChannel-ct9zz]

Great review 🎉 thank u

[@MoorlanderEDC]

Thanks for watching! I'm glad to here you enjoyed it

[@john0270]

Seriously consider not getting these lights people! My 25 after some use while pressure washing at work absolutely messed up and started doing all sorts of random stuff. Eventually had to disassemble and get at the switches with brake clean/wd40. I tried heat, tried just brake clean but it was firing turbo randomly ect ect it was a real disaster.

[@jeo1349]

Hot Spot & Spill mate, not warm spot & skirt.. Lol

[@MoorlanderEDC]

Potato, potarto 😆 We have a strange take on the English language here in the Kingdom of the Moorlands 👍

[@Brian-kg4sh]

Why would the clip be going the wrong way? Deal breaker.

[@TopCatUK76]

Looks a great form factor. Sadly I always want a more in the 300-500 range with an hour or more of power so this model isn’t for me

[@lukasmarten6660]

Sadly a no from me because of the poor ip54 rating

[@MoorlanderEDC]

It's definitely all of the manufacturers with similar lights need to work on. I think once that hurdle is cleared they'll be a must have if you're concerned about water 🤙

[@hachogonzalez8649]

I just dont understand these flat lights. Why not just use a regular 18650 flashlight with 3000mah battery? Also tail magnet is my most used edc function

[@The_Babbling_Brooks]

Thank goodness there are thousands of “regular” ones for you to purchase.

[@tjp148]

@@hachogonzalez8649 they sit better in pockets, 18650 batteries + diameter of light body is loads. It should be pretty obvious

[@MoorlanderEDC]

I think for EDC these are great. Nitecore do have plenty of lights like you're after. That 18650, tail stand/tail magnet is a very common feature set

[@NotJackTheRipper]

@@hachogonzalez8649 I think some people prefer the flat lights since they’re easier to pocket carry. Plus USB-C charging is popular due to so many different electronics switching to that standardization.

[@Sumatra123]

Flat design is so nice to carry. My Arkfeld has a much deeper clip. A better clip would make this light tempting for me to buy.

[@okamisan3642]

I have the better model and it only lasted eight months. Bulbs burned out and turned the light yellow. So garbage.

[@MoorlanderEDC]

That quickly? Did you reach out to Nitecore for a replacement? That's not the best

[@patrickhubscher3719]

I will never buy a nitecore light, because the Turbo(or Lumin Shield) mode is useless... Great review though 👍
