NITECORE EDC29 6500 Lumen Flashlight Review And Field Test

[@L5-SAR]

Sorry if I was a bit disconnected in this video. I had to film during the height of allergy season and I'm really loading up on medication this time of year. By around the end of Oct, it should be over :)

I’ve seen probably 15 other videos of people reviewing this light, and I learned several things from you that were not covered by others. Well done and thank you for providing us with a very professional review with relevant information!

[@L5-SAR]

Thanks. Glad it was helpful. My goal is to provide as much information as possible to people so that they can make informed decisions and get the best gear for their use cases.

I'm quite happy with my Powertac M5 Gen 3, but I have been really tempted by the flat designs for years. The manual operation is also a plus here... Would you suggest the EDC29 as a step up from the Powertac, considering the flat design as the chief interest?

[@L5-SAR]

The M5 G3 is higher candela - a different type of beam. So much depends on your use cases. At the high end, the EDC29 is more lumens but only for seven seconds. Might check out the battery endurance tests for both the M5G3 and the EDC29 and see what you think. Good luck!

Very interesting. It's always helpful for others to get an idea of the various use cases for which a lighting system is known to perform well. Thanks for adding to the body of knowledge about this light!

Hope you get it!!

Skip ahead? No way it's fun to hear you explain the light.

[@L5-SAR]

Not when I'm loaded up on allergy medicine, but it's a nice thought. Thanks :) :)

My main interest in this flashlight is in hopes that it can be used as flood only. Very similar to the Nightcore TM 20. The problem with the TMT is that it’s $300 and I just don’t feel like buying another one, since I dropped my flashlight so so much they eventually break. $100 for a flashlight like this is a lot more desirable if it has flood only capability. Does it have flood only capability?

[@L5-SAR]

You can program the 'tac' button to substitute strobe for the spot. The remainder of the outputs are on the floody side. Thank you and best of luck to you.

Sir, what is the run time on 3000 Lumens and 6500 Lumens? Please advise. Regards

[@L5-SAR]

The ANSI FL-1 run times are published by Nitecore. I did one endurance test on the 35 in High here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZpCneqZ6d8iApck . Thank you.
