The Nitecore EDC23 is a highly compact and powerful addition to Nitecore’s ultra-slim flat everyday carry (EDC) lineup. Measuring at just 4.05 inches, it is the shortest flat flashlight in the family, designed specifically to sit flat and discreetly against your leg or under a belt without printing or rolling off tables.
Powered by two cutting-edge NiteLab UHi 25 LEDs, this pocket powerhouse blasts out an impressive 2,500 lumens with a max beam throw reaching up to 306 yards. It inherits Nitecore’s rugged "Advanced Sandwich Construction," consisting of two stainless steel outer shells wrapped over a carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer composite frame and an aluminum-copper hybrid heat dissipation system. The EDC23 features an integrated real-time multifunctional OLED display that monitors battery voltage, current lumen output, and exact remaining runtime. Complete with an easy-to-use sliding Rapid Lock switch for semi or full lockout, intentional proximity sensor dimming to prevent overheating, and a built-in 1,500mAh USB-C rechargeable battery, it delivers top-tier tactical utility in a travel-friendly form factor.
