ALL NEW EDC23 Flashlight - Nitecore

[@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.

@@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

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

[@Nitecore_Jim]

Thank you for the review!

[@MoorlanderEDC]

Always a pleasure Jim 👍

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

This once agan proves that flashlight snobs will never ever be happy about anything in the universe ever.

[@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 😂

[@MyChannel-ct9zz]

Great review 🎉 thank u

[@MoorlanderEDC]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@herofx2881]

awesome

[@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!

[@patrickhubscher3719]

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

[@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

[@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 👍

[@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 🤙

[@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
