Nitecore EDC23 EDC Flashlight, 2500 Lumen Ultra-Slim Flat Shape USB-C Rechargeable Fast Charging with Digital OLED Display, Mechanical Lock Switch

I am a little bit of a snob when it comes to flashlights. Generally speaking I carry Surefire lights. I am in a line of work where my equipment is essential to my being able to go home at the end of the day. This light, however, looked interesting and I decided to try it out. It seems to be well build and pretty intuitive to use. I like the lockout feature. I carry the light as a backup light in my pocket at work and being able to locking out means that I don't really worry about it turning on in my pocket if my gear or something bumps the button. The different light levels are good. I like it has a strobe feature. The display is very helpful, showing the light level and battery level. I would consider buying it again or maybe a similar model.

I was looking for a small EDC flashlight to attach to my backpack. This flashlight has worked great when needed. It's very easy to turn on and cycle through brightness levels. It also feel pretty solid for a flashlight that is so small. My only concern is the non user replaceable battery. For the cost and my needs the pros outweigh the one potential con.

I recently purchased the Nitecore EDC23 (This is my second flashlight from Nitecore) and I am beyond impressed! This ultra-slim, 2500-lumen powerhouse has completely changed my perception of what an everyday carry flashlight can do. Key Highlights: 1. Blinding Brightness: At 2500 lumens, this flashlight cuts through darkness like a hot knife through butter. Whether you’re exploring the outdoors, walking your dog at night, or dealing with a power outage, this light ensures no corner is left unlit. 2. Ultra-Slim Design: It’s incredibly sleek and compact. It fits comfortably in my pocket without any bulk, making it perfect for everyday carry. 3. USB-C Rechargeable: The convenience of USB-C charging cannot be overstated. No more fumbling with proprietary cables; just plug it into any charger and you’re good to go. The charging speed is fantastic, too! 4. Durability: This flashlight feels rock-solid. It’s made from high-quality materials that give it a rugged, premium feel. I’ve already dropped it a couple of times, and it still works flawlessly. 5. User-Friendly Interface: The intuitive controls make it easy to switch between brightness levels. The settings are versatile, making it suitable for anything from low-light reading to high-power outdoor use. Verdict: The Nitecore EDC23 is worth every penny! It combines incredible brightness, portability, and modern features into one perfect package. Whether you’re a flashlight enthusiast or just need a reliable light source, this one is an absolute must-have.

The Nitecore EDC23 has far exceeded my expectations of a regular carry flashlight. The size (4"Length x 1.3width x .89" height) is perfect for carrying, and is about the size of an average pocket knife. Not heavy either, at just under 4oz. It features a strobe option, as well as 4 brightness settings, (turbo being the brightest at 2500 lumens for a temporary 5-7 seconds before brightness then drops to 1200) I especially appreciate the lockout feature! Mechanically lock the device by moving the switch on the side to stop unwanted power activation when it's in your pocket. This is an excellent every day carry light and was well worth the money. The only gripe about it is the complaint seen throughout other reviews - the pocket clip. It is long, very stiff, and mounts about 3/4 down the flashlight - meaning the other 1/4 length of the light is sticking out, and is an annoyance if you center carry along your pant-line/ belt loops. This would be a perfect 5 stars if they redesigned the pocket clip to mount at the top of the unit, less stiff (able to use 1 hand to affix to pocket/belt) and it wasn't so long.

Purchased a few months ago and this is a really cool light at first every once in awhile the half press function won't let me cycle to the preferred brightness now it's consistanly not functional I didn't see a contact seller option in the Amazon store it's pretty gently used most of the time in my drawer when not in my pocket love the light the turbo and strobe function work awesome and it's nice to see how much battery life but they have a serious issue(many others experience the same problem)with the main button function if seller is willing to contact me and solve this that would be nice otherwise I won't be getting another nitecore

You may ask yourself, do I really need a $60 flashlight? Well the answer is yes. It will be the last flashlight you ever buy. It is blindingly bright if you want it to be or just a faint dim if needed as well. It’s easy to pocket, holds charge a lonnnng time and has a freaking video screen. I personally collect small high end flashlights and this is without a doubt my favorite now.

I love this flashlight. It has several levels of brightness, a strobe mode, a guage showing your charge level. A slide lock to prevent accidently leaving it on. I just feels good in your hand and because it is flat it fits in tight places. I bought some new shoes/slippers. They were killing me, looked inside saw and felt nothing. Stuck the flashlight in there with my cell phone and found the issue. No room with a regular flashlight. It has a nice belt clip. I use this flashlight all of the time because it is so compact. It is just so much better than any of other 10 flashlights I own and it is rechargable. You will absolutely love this flashlight.

I chose the Nitecore EDC23 as my everyday carry flashlight, and I’m really glad I went with it instead of the EDC29. Its compact size makes it much easier to keep in my pocket, which is a major plus for daily use. The battery life has been solid so far. After a couple of weeks, I still haven’t needed to charge it. It’s convenient and reliable. As others have mentioned, the flashlight does stick out of your pocket a bit, which can make reaching for other items a little tricky. However, it’s not a deal-breaker for me. If it becomes a bother, there are aftermarket clips available that allow the flashlight to sit lower in your pocket. I haven’t felt the need to buy one yet. I did read the one-star "burned my pants" review, and honestly, it just made me want the light more, lol! That said, there have been a couple of occasions where I was sure I locked the light, only to find it unlocked later. I’m not entirely sure how it’s happening, but I suspect I might be accidentally unlocking it when I reach into my pocket for other items. I could see how this might become an issue for some users, so it’s worth keeping in mind. Overall, I’m very happy with the Nitecore EDC23! It’s practical, well-designed, and performs beautifully. If something ever happened to this one, I wouldn’t hesitate to get another. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable everyday carry flashlight.
