The Nitecore EDC31 is a highly efficient, compact tactical everyday carry (EDC) flashlight engineered to deliver exceptional performance in a slim profile. Powered by the innovative 9-core NiteLab UHi 20 MAX LED, this pocket-sized dynamo unleashes a remarkable 3,500-lumen maximum output with a max beam throw of up to 415 yards. Designed for absolute versatility, the EDC31 eliminates the need to choose between a spotlight and a floodlight. It features an advanced dual-beam interface that allows users to half-press and hold the tactical tail switch to activate a 1,500-lumen Search spotlight for long-range tracking, or fully press and hold to engage the blistering 3,500-lumen Lumin Shield™ floodlight for instant situational awareness.
Built to keep up with the demands of daily professionals and outdoor enthusiasts alike, the EDC31 is equipped with an integrated 3,800mAh high-capacity rechargeable battery that offers up to 57 hours of continuous runtime. Recharging is fast and simple via the built-in USB-C port, which fills the battery in under 2 hours, while 4 green LED status indicators on the tail cap keep you constantly informed of remaining power. For safe carrying, the light includes Nitecore’s physical Rapid Lock™ switch with both Half Lockout (keeping tactical momentary bursts ready) and Full Lockout modes to completely prevent accidental activation. Enclosed in a rugged, military-grade HA III hard-anodized aluminum housing with IP68 waterproof protection and 2-meter impact resistance, the EDC31 is the ultimate reliable tool for pocket carry, security, and emergency defense.
