## Description

Nitecore EDC25 EDC Flashlight, 3000 Lumen Slim Flat Shape USB-C Rechargeable Lightweight for Everyday Carry with Clip, and NitecoreSt Sticker - desertcart.com

Review: Pricey for a flashlight, but a deal for a legitimate EDC "tool." Pretty impressed! - First impression hot take review: I'm big on redundancy and affordability, both. So prior to purchasing a Nitecore EDC25, I had long carried an Anker Bolder P2 penlight, a Boruit V3, and a Warsun T7. All with their own pros and cons, their own gimmicks, none too expensive, some magnetic, all rechargeable, all fairly bright for their own purposes, all pretty lightweight. Sometimes I need hands free extra light from additional angles, sometimes I just suffer from battery anxiety. I've been feeling a little cluttered, but wanted to also up my EDC flashlight game. I think I can stop EDC'ing my Anker P2 and my Warsun T7. The EDC25 is lightweight (relatively), BRIGHT, pretty simple to operate (I'm catching on pretty quick and I've been around a while...), and seems pretty well designed. Functionality is excellent. Having "turbo" or "ultra low" both available with single dedicated momentary press buttons is awesome for me. I appreciated the *very* simple High/Low function of my Anker P2 penlight but this serves essentially the same purpose, with even greater options. I like the fact it's rechargeable, of course, but it's USB C which is nice since my P2 was still micro USB. The charge port cover is decent, easy to pick open, feels fairly durable. I have also come to appreciate a good clip, and in my opinion the clip on this thing is pretty beefy. Springy enough to stretch but stiff enough to quickly clip on just about any belt or pocket. The tip has a well designed taper, angled to feed into/behind pockets and belts, rounded properly so it won't punch a hole through anything you really shove it into. Also, the little loop integrated into the clip for a lanyard or whatever you like is classy. I noticed a reviewer who mentioned they felt the clip was too low on the light and should have been mounted higher, near the end of the flashlight. I was legitimately interested in that criticism, as I'm not into having a great clip holding something halfway out of my pocket. I can admit the clip isn't at the END of the light, so it doesn't sit FLUSH in my pocket, but I carry a Pilot G2, a standard Sharpie, and a Sharpie highlighter in my thigh pocket, and this light doesn't stand any taller than any of those writing implements. In my opinion it sticks out just enough to be quickly and easily grabbable. It claims 3000 lumens, I have no way to measure, but it smokes my 900 lumen V3, my 675 lumen T7, and my 120 lumen P2. I'm inclined to believe it. It's too bright to look at, and so bright (on higher settings) that any user should definitely practice proper flashlight discipline avoiding others' eyes. It DUMPS power into it's drivers, LEDs, whatever, I'm not an engineer or EDC flashlight enthusiast. But anyway, OBVIOUSLY, this thing gets HOT. The good news is if you have enough sense to zip your fly carefully or to not touch a hot stove, then you'll probably be fine with this thing. But if you're so unaware that you could possibly not notice this thing turning on in your pocket or your bag, I would recommend either learning to use the lock function and/or considering a lesser flashlight. Because for real- HOT. I haven't tested it to see just how glowing hot I could get it, but it's clear from 10-12 seconds of the "Turbo" or whatever mode that this thing is capable of COOKING. I saw more than one review featuring melted clothing and I have no trouble believing that. I considered the next model up, or down, or over, but size was important to me, and I am definitely not the type of dude who needs an OLED screen on my flashlight. SUPER COOL feature, don't get me wrong- just not for me. The approach on this model with the more basic approach of a few bars for battery level and a few bars for brightness and a dedicated little red LED for the Lock status, and that's FUNCTIONAL as far as I'm concerned. I dig the size- I'm a technician who wears sort-of-cargo pants 40 hours a week with pens and a Sharpie etc in my thigh pocket, and the EDC25 fits just fine in the same spot my Anker P2 penlight used to live. It's not too thick for a side pocket, it's not too tall/long that it hangs out, and it's not too heavy. Long story long, at $75, this thing is pretty expensive for "a flashlight." But if I can carry it everyday with the average bumps and bangs, intermittent use, occasional splash or rain, dropping now and then, charging once or twice a week, and it winds up lasting more than a couple of years, then the Nitecore EDC25 might well be worth every penny, in my opinion. Fingers crossed!
Review: I used EDC lights every day at work. - I bought an EDC27 after 2 years working on the job as a CO. I had a previous Nitecore flashlight with one brightness setting for two years working as a CO before that, so I trust the brand. Seeing the EDC25, I had to get it, to have a backup just in case (and so I could cycle one out to charge while I took the other one to work.) EDC27 is a great light and the EDC25 is a sidegrade, or at the very least a lighter cousin of the EDC27, but a decent light that eliminates some features of the 27 in the interest of saving weight. In case you're curious, I'll give a brief overview: EDC25 and 27 are very similar in function, really the only difference is an LED screen that gives you a timer for how long until the battery is expended (which is shared on the 27 and 29.) The 25 uses 4 green LEDs, each representing 25% battery life. Also, the 25 uses 4 blue LED's to indicate brightness intensity, while the 27 and 29 display a number of lumens on a small black/white LED screen. How close these lumen intensities are to the actual number of lumens they display is debatable, but I'm sure if you wanted to test them, you could. On the lumen intensities that overlap, they are comparable brightness, so at least there's that consistency. All you need to know is that the bigger the number (or more blue lights on), the brighter the light is. The EDC 25 and 27 lights have multiple brightness functions. The difference is intensity. All of them have a 15 lumen (low setting) From there, the power levels are different. EDC27 have 65 lumen, 200 lumen, 1000 lumen and a 3000 lumen (ultra) bright mode. This ultra mode has a timer that counts down and has a limited time because of heat generated. The EDC 25 doesn't have a countdown timer (since there's no screen to display it on), but the light brightness on the (ultra) mode will reduce over time. Since the 25 and 27 are almost identical in functionality, their battery life is also similar. On the lowest setting, the 25 will run 38-40 hours on a full charge. On the highest brightness setting, you're looking at about an hour of 1000 lumen light on a full charge. These numbers are based on the EDC27 timer on the LCD screen. The 27 has a dedicated strobe light setting. The EDC 25 feels less substantial than the 27. Losing the LED screen saved some weight that you notice if you hold both in your hands. One big difference between the 25 and 27 is that the 27 has a dedicated strobe setting. On the 27, if you half press the large button next to the power button, you get a 3000 lumen "turbo" and if you hard press the button, you get a strobe light that flashes at 3000 lumen several times a second as long as you hold that button down. The 25 does not have this functionality. However, the 25 can flash the 3000 lumen light as quickly as you can depress and release the button (similar to how the EDC 29 eliminated the dedicated strobe light function. It's a 3000 lumen flashing light. Regardless of if it's trigger by your hand or programmed to function this way, you will get someone's attention with it. The biggest difference between these two lights is weight and the dedicated strobe function. If you think like you can simply press and release the ultra button, the dedicated strobe function is largely unnecessary. The 25 feels a couple ounces lighter than the 27, so if weight is a concern, this may be the light for you. If you're wanting a better idea of how much battery or time you have left on your light, with an exact amount of hours:minutes left of run time or a graphic showing you how depleted the battery is and you don't mind it weighting another ounce or two, the 27 is a good choice. You just have to decide how precise you want to be and if that's worth $15 to you.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ EDC friendly!
*by R***. on October 27, 2024*

I am actually surprised by just how compact and bright this light is. I’ve been carrying this light everyday for almost 3 weeks straight and it’s an absolute power house of a light. It’s not perfect but it’s very impressive for what it is. Small disclaimer, the battery life isn’t the greatest when using the brightest setting and full power mode, and also in those modes specifically the light does get hot to the touch specifically where the leds are, but I’m still giving this light a 5 star rating because it’s very lightweight, very pocket friendly, really bright, and intuitive to use once you get used to the buttons and the dual click on the power button. Ultimately I think if you are looking for a sleek wedge light that you intend to carry daily for when the need arises or if you just want a compact bright light with a nice finish to it, this might be the one to get!
