This new addition to Nitecore’s flashlight range has some unique features and is likely to be very popular among those looking for a powerful, yet small body EDC flashlight.
With an ultra compact body size the EDC35 offers 6 power levels from 5 lumens up to the Turbo output of 5000 lumens. Run times are up to 90 hours (ultralow 5 lumens).
It features the new UHi40 MAX LED, which has 9 cores with a larger single core, and 8 surrounding it, this provides a unique ability to to provide improved beam for longer and closer distances, when compared to a traditional single core LED. With both spotlight and floodlight outputs available.
A built in high capacity 21700 battery can be rapidly charged via USB-C, with up to 10W power, at a current of 5V 2A. And it features an ultra low standby current (1μA), with minimal drain even if kept in long term storage (up to a year), it’s ready to be used when needed.
A built in proximity sensor ramps down the power level if nearby objects are detected, this prevents damage from heat with items that are close to the LED/lens.
Nitecore have designed the body with a superior grip with plenty of texturing on the barrel, and a quality stainless steel clip is also included. A stainless steel strike bezel if useful for defence or glass breaking.
