Ok, this MIGHT just be the Perfect Tactical EDC Light - Nitecore EDC33 (4000 lumens)

[@christianfox7404]

Everything's a trade off in life. Appreciate the evaluation of the EDC 33. From one flashlight guy to another, can never have too many.

[@NitecoreSG]

How do you find the whole built in battery vs non built in trend, seems like a deal breaker to many.

[@christianfox7404]

Mixed feelings about the trend but it is not a deal breaker. On the one hand, generally we are accustomed to changing out batteries. On the other hand, lithium batteries (depending on its chemistry) last quite a long time and honestly for the price point of this EDC and the options it provides, not a bad deal. You will always have the die-hards that will want to change out the battery and we'll stay away from this EDC. I understand the rationale. However, also understand having the battery built in, not accessible. It'll have better connectivity and probably better water resistance. Nothing lasts forever so I don't mind the concept of a built-in battery, recycle it when it is defunct. The fact of the matter is, if one wants a built-in battery, then purchase a flashlight that has one, no problem. If one wants to try out something new, give this a shot. Just my two cents.

[@grinsefalle]

@@NitecoreSG The built in battery something to consider. The flashlight itself seem quite decent regarding UI and output, the battery is mixed bag. If the battery fails or if the charging port malfunctions, there is no way to use it in this particular situation, you need a backup light. And you can't use the flashlight with a second battery, while the first on is charging.. So it depends on your usage of this flashlight - and i can understand both sides of the deal-breaker-question..

[@stanleychamallas2331]

@@NitecoreSGdoes it have strobe?

[@mysterc2862]

We all know built in batteries will not last forever, if I drop the light or break it myself that’s one thing, but buying somthing you know you will have to buy again after the battery stops holding a decent charge is kind of a deal breaker. The issue with lithium ion batteries is similar to how they say your supposed to run your ohone battery down and not just keep it at 100% all the time bc that is worse for the battery. With edc gear you need these things at 100 percent that’s the whole point is to be prepared. Removable batteries you can swap in and out. For me, im okay with owning many flashlights but I need to know the power source will work when I need it to. Im fine with buying batteries, 18650’s, 18350’s, 21700’s whatever. Think of it this way, if 500 of us purchased the same light with a built in non removable battery, 5 years from now we can all throw em away together, regardless of price point.

[@pinkyfish64]

I love that Nitecore doesn't go for the million different colour options. These are just features that benefit the user. This is exciting in itself and appreciated. From reaching for a light half asleep when you hear a bump in the night. To carrying on duty as I do having dual beams will be amazing. Thank you for all your efforts making lights for users.

True, but I think some earth tone colors would be great like the camo colors of green, brown,

[@dr.oetqer]

​@@danielc.1169 I think that those colors are nice to choose from and have, but for most situations a somewhat (boring looking) black flashlight, with the right specs and UI, will be all you need. Nonetheless it would be nice if they can offer different colors and color temperatures (neutral white) when a particular model becomes popular.

[@illestmpd]

i love nitecore, always innovating the best lights on the market, timeless designs, and different types of lights for different uses. i personally own the TUP, TIP and the TINI 2, abosulutly love them and always have the tip in my edc pouch for the past 4 years now. ive got a buddy who is graduating from police college soon and if i were to win this, it would go straight to him as a congratulating gift. i truly believe this will be his best friend, a light that will always be by his side, and the #1 tool on the belt.

i really like this one. I think it would sell better if it had a replaceable battery but then again you gotta drive like 9 leds, provide 4000 lumens with 55k cd with a 4000mah 18650... Pretty crazy numbers for such a small light. Its not like you can buy a cell that can do that right now anyway. I havent tried the tailswitch yet but the olight warrior models had a similar implementation and ive been a huge fan of the concept. Makes a tactical light still super easy to use. Also like the lockout feature and the battery indicators... Not for everyone i suppose but very innovative for sure. Id love to use this when im working night shift, maybe ill pick one up

[@mikeenslin3009]

@@ChiseledChin hmm fair enough. Mine works fine, I have a m2r warrior and warrior x4. I guess it's subjective to some degree, maybe contact olight and try to get a new model, almost sounds like you got a lemon. The nitecore implementation does seem different tho. It has a rubber boot which will be more resistant to dirt and such. Then again I like the metal tailswitches as well, my edc33 will arrive tomorrow, I'll see what it's like.

[@transtubular]

Capacity has nothing to do with the cells ability to supply a sustained high current draw.

[@kurogana01]

You do not have both beam, its kinda gimmick, I have the 33. You can only use flood in 1300 or higher lumens, that is when you dont want it and you cannot have flood only, with no hotspot. Like inside a house, or reading, or inside a car, you want a low lumens flood, but NO, nitecore locked the flood in just high and turbo. So all situations you benefit from a spread low light, you cannot benefit. Low - no flood, ultra low - no flood, mid - no flood, high - flood but it gets really hot and dims, turbo too. So nitecore puts flood only where the light cannot handle it properly. Kinda gimmick, its a spot flashlight with some auxiliary flood leds, YOU CANNOT HAVE ONLY FLOOD, OR LOW FLOOD

[@A-Fern]

I have been very impressed with what Nitecore is doing right now as far as innovation. I would definitely carry this edc33 for an everyday carry

This light is a win. Just got mine and what I like about it is because of the dual stage switch one actually has three different outputs of lighting with a single press of the button if you have your regular mode set to medium and you click the light on you have a nice medium light, but you can also have for us to get a higher powered Spotlight or full price for the 4000 Lumen temporary flood. I also like the four-level battery indicator instead of Nightcore's Old Blue Light which meant nothing and the ability to tail stand is nice and the light is small. I also like the side lockout switch. Well done Nightcore on this one. And the bean has a nice white tint.

[@kostya_009]

I live in Siberia. In winter, the day is much shorter than the night here. I always use flashlights to open and close the garage. And also for walking in the evening. But summer is coming soon) And I'm going to Gorny Altai. The lantern is also very useful there!)

Thanks for the review and giveaway offer. I would use the light as my primary EDC. I'd especially appreciate the Luminshield for taking walks in my neighborhood in the early evening and nighttime. And the access to both spot and flat beams in cases of emergency where I could be of help to others.

[@winstonramirez1665]

I usually bike and visit places especially after work 5pm (I live in province with minimal to none road lights) which gets dark quite quickly. I love how short this EDC 33 only at 4.5 inches long and 100+ grams which can easily be strapped to my bike to act as bike light (The flooding is great as well as the ribbings on its body for the rubber straps to secure them). I can then remove the flashlight and use it as EDC flashlight to explore the wilderness as well as protection with the Lumin Shield if there are robbers who might want to mug me. I hope this model becomes available soon here in the Philippines.

[@eirikrafnhansen9746]

Hey guys, I own the EDC33 and have used it for about 1 month, lots to like, but I have some big concerns. 1. HEAT: The EDC33 gets very hot, like untouchable hot after using the "special modes" for a few seconds. In the manual nitecore warns the user: "DO NOT expose the product to temperatures above 60°C (140°F) for prolonged time, as this poses risk of battery explosion or combustion*".* So the fact that this light gets so hot on its own worries me. The lumin-shield 4K mode really gets the light very hot fast, and the light steps down to the lowest output after around 20 seconds, not very tactical? In my own opinion it is a disaster waiting to happen, only short accidental periods of "spot-light" (which is only a half-press!) will burn a hole in your pocket quickly and burn your skin too. To combat this issue nitecore made the physical lock-out switch, which is my next point... 2. LOCK-OUT SWITCH: In my opinion this was absolutely necessary, the light gets so hot it would be completely irresponsible to not have a lock-out option on this light. My problem with it is just that - it is completely necessary - I am afraid of that one time, which I know will come, when I forget to lock the light out before I put it in my pocket. Also - I find the half-lock out mode ridiculous - as it only locks out the daily modes and not the special modes, but it is the special modes that I am afraid will accidentally turn on. That said - it is a very nicely made lock, fidgety too. 3. SENSOR: The sensor only works on high mode, not searchlight or lumin-shield, only high. Why add a sensor for only 1 of 6 modes? Also the sensor is extremely sensitive for smudges or dirt on the glass. The first time used my EDC33 I though it was something wrong with the UI, but then I cleaned the glass and the problem was solved. After that I have noticed that if I just barely tough the glass with my finger it will be enough to dim the high-mode when I turn the light on. It seems to me that the sensor is a safety-feature that looks good on paper, but in reality doesn't do much for the users protection. For my final thoughts I would like to mention that I think what nitecore does is incredible, my favourite lights comes from this company and I think nitecore alone is really pushing the development of flashlights into the future, the NiteLab UHi 20 MAX LED is an incredible concept that deserves more appreciation. I view this flashlight like a show-off piece from nitecore, a light to showcase their new technology which will hopefully soon be perfected and more practical. I cannot wait for what nitecore does next. Making their own LEDs is so huge!

[@MPD90]

I work at a indoor shooting range I used to use p30i to check chamber coz it's bright enuff during the day even at level 2 power but at night i have to cover the light in an awkward manner so that the spill dun blind the firer by accident , then I got the p10ix for the night coz of the gentle spill and also for camping purpose. Then I got itchy hand and got the p35i for the interchangeable flood/spot mood, but it's kinda big and it's cumbersome(two handed)to change mood every time the range transition from day to night lighting vice versa and all its other different lighting setup. Can't wait to add this to my collection and try it out

[@RQ321]

I'm really looking forward to the further iterations of similar lights. Instead of a mixed beam in normal operation mode, I'm actually hoping for dual beam patterns in normals operation modes with different power settings, like low, med and high for spot and flood beam patterns respectively. I think that would be a perfect edc light, something like a switch like the lock out switch to flip from spot to beam. Sometimes l'd like a pure flood / spot depending on the situation, not necessarily at 4000 lumens.

[@hansginzel5973]

Looks good. Thank you for review. I am successfully using my Wurkkos HD20 wih flat and spot lights and replaceble battery and optionally head band…

[@lusqwerty]

I worked in maintenance and I always carry 2 things 2 types of multitool or small tools and a flashlight. Now I carry nitecore SRT7i because of its versatility. But some of my peers find the UI clumbersome and the size of the torch is so big. Multitools can be handy for a quick fix. But to pair that wiith a much better flashlight its like again a swiss knife. If closeup I dont need the spotlight. The big problem with spotlight is that even with the SRT7i ring the hotspot is so bright your eyes gets tired and painful because of the hotspot. I also own the P20iX and P10iX. Tried to experiment but sometimes you need both spot and flood for certain applications. With this small and compact plus one button operation its not clumbersome. No more carrying headlamp + Floodlight + standalone flashlight like the SRT7i. Its pocket friendly and easy to carry. Paired with a multitool small jobs cannot be as easier done. Floodlight is for closeup and spot is for far away lighting. It can increase my productivity because easy fixes dont need large bulky tools.

[@jgichnoo]

I like the idea of this. I do a lot of inspections at night, both close and far distance, and im still using the MH12S for 100% of my needs. The reason i am not sold on this is the same reason why i don't use Olight. The half press in my opinion is not the best idea and not as easy to use as other brands in my opinion.

[@edtrasmontanez2792]

THEY NEED TO SHOW A RUNTIME GRAPH ON EACH MODE LIKE FENIX.FACT

4000L IS USELESS IF IT LASTS 7 SECONDS

[@ShebanFPV]

Thank you for the great and in-depth review. I have a couple of questions, is the battery replacable/removable or in-built? also how long can you blast on full power before it overheats? Thanks

[@Gohjunyi88]

MH12 Pro seems better imo, having a replacable batteries. The flood mode not quite pratical given it overheats and burns the battery quickly

[@mikeenslin3009]

i dont know... its a lot brighter than the mh12 pro and its also a different usecase... Depends what youre looking for i suppose. Edc33 is a lot more tactical and innovative id say. I understand the replaceable battery is important, thats a valid point for sure. I wouldnt really have a use for a mh12 or mh25 but the edc33 i could actually see myself using given the user interface and size and beam shape

[@nitenichiryu5696]

I agree. The built-in battery is quite a deal breaker in my book. Plus, having strong output in such a mini body means this light will be prone to overheating at its highest. With that said, I still might buy it.

I have the MH12 pro and that green tint is horrible

[@simonnaughton2272]

@@Studatyou are saying the MH12 has a green tint?

[@Studat]

@@simonnaughton2272 the mh12 pro, yes, 100% green on lower levels. If not for that it would almost be perfect

How long does turbo last?

[@ynotjf]

YES! HOW LONG DOES TURBO LAST?? I’ve got an Olight Warrior 3S that only holds 2300 turbo for a mere 2.5min? Then if you need turbo a second time it will only last 1 minute then the battery has to be topped-off before it will enter turbo again.. absolute BS!

[@NitecoreSG]

7-9 seconds or so before it gets too hot and steps down.

[@ynotjf]

@@NitecoreSG - So if Nitecore was honest, they’d say it’s a 1200lm light with temporary burst to 4000lm, not market it as 4000lm! 1200lm is not bad for that small of a light but “Perfect” really? I’ve been carrying a Eagtac D25LC2 Tactical for 10 years that has 1374 lumens then steps down to 1100 for 1.5hours that’s just as small as the EDC 33. How about the new Olight Warrior Mini 3 at 1750lm turbo for 2min but with multiple turbo cycles. Maybe Perfect is just a marketing word..

[@NitecoreSG]

@@ynotjf might have to take a look at those to do a head to head. Good recommendations!

[@miguelmendez4718]

Very informative video, I like the form factor and still I can use the plastic holster. 👍

[@robtorok3935]

This would be my go to flashlight. Right now I have to choose between my MH25i or my P20ix before I go out.

[@smokinjoesmokinjoe85]

And also, you have a very good show and we enjoy watching it

[@maxlvledc]

I just got mine..to be honest I think Nightcore needs to rethink its goals. Is it one of the brightest flashlights in its size? Absolutely. But it reaches OBSCENE temperatures in less than 20 seconds. This light is an accident waiting to happen.

[@rps215]

This give the Olight Baton 3 Pro Max and Acebeam E70 Mini a run for their money though they do have some things unique to them as well, the Baton 3 Pro Max has the magnetic tail and the E70 Mini has a choice for high CRI LEDs.

[@rayoflight62]

I just got an EDC33. It is a dream of a light, the three-stage tailcap is very well thought, thank you. I want to tell you two problems I'm having with the EDC33. When I'm at level 3 and I want to go to a lower brightness to avoid being noticed, I have to cycle and go to the highest brightness before getting to a lower brightness. This give away my position. The same happens with my MH25 Pro. I bought a SRT7i so I can use the ring to go low without going high first, but it would be nice if the MH25 would have a side rocker switch; so I can increase OR decrease the brightness, without the one-way up-only system you have now. Second problem: the lanyard of the EDC33 is not made of true paracord, but of some cheap stiff nylon - the knot undo by itself. Thank you Nitecore! Greetings from the UK, Anthony

[@stayalivenow]

This would be the perfect size light for personal defense with 4000 arc eye lumens.

[@NitecoreSG]

yes that's one of the main uses this was designed for

[@stayalivenow]

@@NitecoreSG really couldn't go wrong with this light on your person.
