Nitecore EDC17 Ultra Slim EDC Flashlight

EDC17 Ultra-Slim Multi-Tool for Everyday Carry

Compact enough to slip into a pocket yet packed with advanced functionality, the EDC17 is built from a robust stainless steel body and weighs just about 106 g (3.74 oz). Its low-profile form (approx. 123 mm × 32 mm × 16 mm) makes it ideal for everyday carry without bulk.

Three Light Sources, One Tool.

Rather than a standard flashlight, the EDC17 combines three distinct functions into a single device:

• High-output white LED (up to 1,500 lumens) – for general illumination.
• UV light (selectable levels up to 1,350 mW) – for document checks, leak detection, authentication tasks.
• Green laser pointer (< 5 mW) – for pointing, signalling or precision tasks.

Intuitive Controls

An innovative sliding switch mechanism controls power and brightness levels, while a separate “M” button toggles between light sources (and gives direct access to the green laser). The UI is designed for quick one-hand operation even in challenging conditions.

Impressive Performance Metrics

White light: High mode 1,500 lumens with a beam distance up to 230 m and beam intensity up to ~12,400 cd.
Runtimes: On the lowest white mode (1 lumen) up to ~260 hours. UV and laser modes also offer extended runtimes.
Charging: Built-in rechargeable Li-ion battery (approx. 1,500 mAh) via USB-C.

• Durable construction: stainless steel shell with PVD coating, precision reflector, temperature regulation circuitry.

Use-Case Versatility
