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

Over the past 10 years, I have bought dozens of flashlights, some big, some small, some using batteries, some rechargeable. I have used them in a wide variety of situations. So I have my pick of LOTS of lights for virtually any task. But my EDC23 is the one I keep reaching for. It just flat works for almost anything. Max power and strobe are incredible, but even the other modes are terrific. Battery life is fabulous. The UI is well configured. This EDC23 is the one to buy!

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.

I have an EDC 25, 27 and 29 already, but wanted something smaller as a backup. If you're familiar with the other models of the EDC, this is more of the same in a smaller package. Not as bright as the larger models, but definitely bright enough for it's intended use. Built like a tank, very durable. It's not going to be damaged unless you damage it intentionally. Even then, it'll take a beating and still keep on ticking. USB C recharging is fast and easy.

I use this flash light all the time. As the name states it is my EDC and is always in my pocket. About the same size as a standard pocket knife. The adjustability of the intensity level with the two button system is nice. However, the button has started to not respond right. Originally it is a half click to change intensity and a full click to turn on/off. Now when pressing it does not want to change intensity and will do so on a full click therefore not always turning on the light. I would quickly buy again but at the price I can not afford to buy one when the button only last for a couple months of use. I continue to carry every day but find it frustrating to have to press the button sometimes 10X to get the light to turn on while also shuffling thru intensity settings. The turbo mode still works as designed but often is too bright for low light use and is on a timer by default. The full lockout slider works great and is a nice feature to have. If there was no issue with the button this would be 5 stars and 10/10 recommend.

The light was great at first and the only complaint i have was the clip riding too high in my pocket. Fast forward not even a month and the button stopped working. When you half press to go through the different lumens it wouldn’t work and a full press to turn it off would cause it to do whacky things like cycle through the lumens or turn off. I contacted nitecore and got a replacement sent and it did the same thing. They offered to “upgrade me” to the edc25 which i just wanted to replace what i have and understand why their product kept failing me. So i called customer service and a person named Dave gave me a huge attitude for absolutely no reason at all. I was asking if its a know issue and if there’s a fix to this problem. It’s an $80 light, these types of things shouldn’t be happening to such an expensive product. Basically was of no help what so ever and was extremely rude. All i wanted to know is if it was even worth getting the replacement if the same problem is going to keep happening. Luckily amazon was cool enough to refund me the cost and accepted the return outside the window of time. Basic review and if your looking to buy this light dont.. i bought in January and its now may. It doesn’t last, anyone who left reviews probably left it right after buying it. This light would be awesome if it worked correctly but after dealing with their rude customer service and having 2 lights fail on me I wouldn’t support this company even if they fix their problem…

I have never used any nitecore products until recently since their products started appearing on my feed. I bought this flashlight as my EDC and I was not disappointed in the quality, fit and finish of the flashlight. The build is of excellent quality and it does not feel cheap like others I have used. The flashlight is easy to use. It's bright on the highest setting of 2500 lumens with a good throw and it is also very useful on the lowest setting when brightness isn't required. The buttons on the top of the flashlight function and seem like they will last a long time even if they go through some beating and rough usage. I work as an armed transit driver and this is perfect for me in all aspects. The screen is a nice touch because I am able to see what setting I am in and how much battery I have left. I love that this is a USB C type charging device. I think what really sold me on it was the fact that it has a safety switch. I have used other flashlights that tend to turn on in the pocket and burn my thighs. Since owning this product, I have not had it once turn on accidentally in my pockets. The clip on it doesn't feel cheap either. Overall the flashlight is of good quality and materials, and the functionality make is easy to use even for the novice user diving into the world of EDC flashlights.

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 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.

Finding an everyday carry flashlight that packs serious tactical power without being incredibly bulky or awkward in a pocket can be a challenge. I picked up this Nitecore EDC23, and it is hands down the best EDC light I've ever owned. The flat shape is a total game-changer—it slides cleanly into a pocket and sits perfectly flat against your leg instead of bulging out like standard round torches. Don't let the slim profile fool you, though; pumping out 2500 lumens gives you an unbelievable, blinding wall of crisp light when you need it. The integrated OLED display is remarkably convenient, letting you see your exact lumen output and remaining battery runtime in real-time so there's never any guessing. Between the solid mechanical lock switch that prevents it from accidentally turning on in your pocket and the rugged, heavy-duty build, Nitecore completely nailed the design on this one.

Das Teil ist bei mir in täglicher Nutzung und immer am Mann! Akkukapazität, Leuchtintensität und Ergonomie - alles passt. Würde ich sofort wieder kaufen.

Super Qualität 👍

Quick delivery and an excellent tactical flashlight with enormous power in a very small package!

One of my new favourite flashlights. The physical lock on this is great peace of mind. The output is amazing and the mode selection is easy enough for anyone to get used to. Easy to carry on a belt, pocket, or sling.
