Excellent. My 2nd purchase...
How to work your EDC27 UHi. The video shows the earlier EDC27, and the controls are the same.
3,100 lumens and a 305-metre reach, from a light barely thicker than a pen.
A full-power tactical light at half the thickness, so it rides flat in a pocket and draws as fast as it hides away.
- 3,100-lumen Turbo with a 305m throw and 23,500cd peak
- Twin UHi 20 LEDs behind a TIR optic for a clean, wide beam
- Multifunctional OLED display: brightness, runtime, voltage and power at a glance
- Built-in 1,700mAh battery, USB-C charge to full in 1h 15min
- M-Turbo dual-stage tactical buttons for one-handed control
- Two lockout modes against accidental activation in a pocket
- Proximity sensor steps output down near an obstruction
- 14 hours on Low, 55 hours on Ultralow between charges
- IP54 weatherproof, 1m impact resistant, 122g with the clip
Output that belies the body it comes from.
Two UHi 20 LEDs and a TIR optic put out 3,100 lumens on Turbo, throwing a clean beam to 305 metres at 23,500 candela. That is enough to light a stairwell, sweep a car park or pick out a figure at the end of a lane, from a light this slim.
Step down through High, Mid and Low for everyday tasks, where 65-lumen Low still runs for 14 hours and reaches 50 metres, so one light covers the close work and the long look.
A display that tells you exactly where you stand.
The multifunctional OLED screen reads out the brightness level, battery voltage, runtime remaining, temperature and a power-remaining bar in real time. You know whether you have ten minutes or ten hours before a shift or a call-out, rather than guessing.
For an EMT or a security carry, that is the difference between a light you hope will last and one you know will.
M-Turbo dual-stage buttons, built for one hand.
The two tail buttons sit at different heights, so your thumb finds the right one by feel in the dark. Half-press and hold the MODE button for instant Turbo or Strobe Ready, full-press for the rest, all by feel and on the same grip.
Navigate on a low level, then press and hold for maximum brightness only as long as you hold it, which keeps a momentary burst on tap for a quick reaction.
Preset the brightness before you switch on.
Set the level you want before the light is even on, so it comes up at exactly the right output the moment you need it. A low glow to read a label up close and easy on the eyes, or full power the instant a situation calls for it, with no scrolling through modes to get there.
Two lockout modes, so it stays off until you want it.
Semi Lock disables the power button while leaving direct access to Turbo and Strobe through the MODE button, ready for a fast reaction. Full Lock disables both buttons for storage or carry.
Either way, 3,100 lumens never fires by accident in a pocket or a bag, which keeps the battery full and the head cool until you draw it.
A proximity sensor that watches for a blocked beam.
If the light comes on near an obstruction on High, Turbo or Strobe, the sensor automatically lowers the output to keep heat in check. A stray activation against a jacket lining or the inside of a bag stays cool rather than scorching.
Built-in 1,700mAh, charged in 1h 15min.
The built-in 1,700mAh cell runs 55 hours on Ultralow and 14 hours on Low, so it keeps going through a long night on a single charge. When it does run down, the USB-C port and Quick Charge take it from flat to full in 1h 15min from a wall plug, a laptop or a power bank.
That is less time on charge and more time ready to carry, with no cells to source and nothing to swap in the field.
Ready when you reach for it, weeks later.
Advanced Power Cut-Off (APC) technology holds standby drain so low that the EDC27 UHi stays ready for up to 365 days between charges. Leave it locked in a kit bag or a glovebox and it is still there with charge in hand when a call comes in.
A highly efficient constant-current circuit drives the LEDs with a flicker-free, Non-PWM output, so the beam stays steady and even. That keeps the light easy on the eyes through a long shift or a close inspection.
Slim enough to forget you are carrying it.
At 22.2mm across the body and a 12.8mm slim edge, the EDC27 UHi is about half the width of a typical cylindrical compact light. The flat profile slides in and out of a pocket cleanly instead of printing through the fabric, and sits flush in a sleeve or a kit pouch.
In the hand it handles like a blade in a hammerfist grip, so a discreet carry becomes a fast, sure draw.
Sandwich construction that takes a beating.
Front and rear stainless-steel shells fuse to a high-strength carbon-fibre composite frame, secured by six sets of connector bolts, for a body that resists compression, twisting and bending. A PVD titanium coating shrugs off scratches and fingerprints.
A semi-embedded aluminium heat plate runs almost the full length of the body to pull warmth away from the LEDs and hold output steady when you push it.
Deep-carry clip and a finger groove that keeps it settled.
A stainless-steel clip holds the light low and discreet on a pocket edge, while a thoughtful finger groove guards against a stray press as it goes in. A large lanyard hole takes 4mm 550 paracord, and the clip detaches if you would rather run it bare.
Rated for the weather and the knocks.
An IP54 rating keeps dust and splashing rain out, so a wet shift or a sudden downpour is a non-event. A 1-metre impact rating means a drop off a tailgate or a belt is shrugged off rather than a worry.
WHY THE EDC27 UHi OVER AN ORDINARY COMPACT LIGHT
Half the thickness
A 12.8mm slim edge against the 25mm of a typical compact light, so full power carries flat in a pocket instead of bulging out.
You know your runtime
The OLED display shows output and remaining power, so you are not caught short on a shift. Most compact lights leave you guessing.
Tactical control
M-Turbo dual-stage buttons give instant Turbo or Strobe by feel, where a single side switch makes you cycle to get there.
Charge and carry
USB-C tops it up in 1h 15min and a deep-carry steel clip keeps it discreet, so it is always ready and out of the way.

CERTIFIED ANSI/PLATO FL1 2019 STANDARD
The ANSI/PLATO FL1 2019 standard is a set of flashlight performance guidelines, so these figures are tested to spec rather than marketing claims. Turbo and Strobe are high-output modes; output steps down as the head warms to protect the LEDs.TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
The battery is built in, so will it still be ready after sitting in a bag for weeks?
Yes. The 1,700mAh cell is built in and tops up through the USB-C port to full in about 1 hour 15 minutes, so there is nothing to source or swap. Advanced Power Cut-Off technology keeps standby drain low enough for up to 365 days of ready standby, so it holds its charge between call-outs.
Will it survive rain and the odd drop?
It is rated IP54 against dust and splashing rain, so a wet shift is fine, and it is rated to a 1-metre impact. It is not sealed for submersion, so avoid dunking it underwater.
How do I stop it switching on in my pocket?
Two lockout modes handle that. Semi Lock disables the power button but keeps Turbo and Strobe on the MODE button for a fast reaction, while Full Lock disables both buttons for storage or carry.

Overall rating: 4.9 / 5 from 147 reviews.
This has been my EDC for almost 3 months with heavy use both for personal and work use. This covers every need I have had. Holds a charge really well and feels good in the hand and love the lock out switch. Would definitely recommend buying I also plan to get a second one soon to keep in my truck.
Brightness:Very impressive Battery life:Good
A powerful tool in a lowlight condition. Always gave me the confidence to execute my work and gave me the best possible visual environment for my inspections.
Work in a prison and the multiple different settings for light power is the best thing. Couldn’t ask for a better light
Forgot to take picture before bringing to work. Very bright. Slightly pricey but it's good.
I'm a multi-craft maintenance technician in an anodizing plant where I work around corrosive acids all day including bright dip. I've had this flashlight for about a year now. It is by far the best flashlight I've ever owned. I have bought a lot of different ones. It's bright it's powerful somehow the battery lasts a long time. The button configuration is very convenient. The way it fits in your pocket feels natural. The display is a great thing to have. This thing is solid. I'll leave a picture to show you how good it's held up where I work. Let's just say most wrenches or anything metal that touches your hands and my factory is destroyed within a month.
Great flashlight! The 2 tail buttons is the best UI. Wished it had actual momentary actuation at a selectable illumination levels (ie. ultralow) for tactical signaling.
Legit love this light! Carried stream light strain for last few yrs and this is much brighter plus clips to belt without being bulky! The super spotlight is alarmingly bright and bc it gets so hot there’s a safety switch to prevent your ass getting burnt on accident! Buying 2 more for each son’s Christmas (mid 20’s and 32 ).
Super impressed with this EDC light. It's easily one of the best I've gotten under $100. I was looking at a Nebo, but wanted something sooner, so I took a chance on the Nitcore. It perfectly fits my preparedness personality, and I couldn't be happier with how well it works.
Brought this little beauty with me on safari in Africa. Great as a flood light on night safari to support the spotlights searching for wildlife and great for pointing out directions in the dark. Also was my self-defence tool if it got down to it.
I very happy that instead of i get the EDC25 they have upgrade and gave me ECD27 instead i appreciate and love it so much when i open the gift and nitecore torchlight is my 1st brand for my daily usage for my work condition and also for my daily usage!:)
Very useful!
very bright and easy to use. quite light and compact as well. take note that after prolonged usage it gets really hot especially with the turbo mode
It's definitely one of the best, powerful, and portable flashlight that you can get now. The size of it isn't too bulky and it's convenient to bring it anywhere with you. Everyone should be carrying at least one flashlight with them just in case of emergency.
Another amazing flashlight from Nitecore, EDC27 UHi is relatively small to slip around, with easy access to strobe, yet powerful, the display is good to know the power and battery. I would buy this again for the size with higher EDC29
Easy to keep in pocket or bag and the light is bright enough for my application.
Sleek design, ease of gripping and the beam profile is superb! Loving my EDC27!
Great upgrade from the EDC27
Love great feel. Super, super bright. Has a ton of features.
I'm thrilled that my Nitecore EDC29 looks so good attached to my SLB05 sling bag. It's been getting a lot of attention from my colleagues and even some inquiries from the public. Its sleek design sets it apart from other illumination tools, combining functionality with style.
The intuitive interface makes it easy to switch between settings, even in high-pressure situations. The button is well-placed, allowing me to operate the flashlight with one hand while my other hand remains free.
Best series so far. Compact and powerful
I work in a nightlife environment so having this EDC25 helps me a lot in my work place.
Nitecore is a name that is known for reliable and best lights. I have hesitated to get a new one because my old MH2C light is still working like a horse for more than 10yrs without any issues... needed to try the most talked about EDC and it just literally blew me with blinding lights... compact, easy to use with the mode button, screen and super bright 6500lumens. Nothing I say can bring justice to the EDC29, you have to own one to believe it's worth... no regrets and I hope this light will work as long as my current MH2C... PS: My MH2C is still working and now it's my spare light... Thanks Nitecore!
Another torchlight totally worth the buy. Handy and slim while pack with power. Just one enough.
Best slim light ever. Simple to operate with just toggle around the switch. I like the turbo mode.
Awesome light. Simple to use, easy to carry, doesn't weight much, slim form factor and it's bright! 👍👍👍😎
Less dot matrix display, less item to fail Flat profile easily fit any pockets, only wished that pocket clip was a deep carry type, other than that, its a pocket rocket👍
Wouldn't feel save to leave house without it. I always carry around when leaving house as I know precaution is better than not prepare :)
Robust, Compact and portable torch light
Excellent, i like the safety features of the locking system so when u accidentally click the button it won't switch on and u can choose and see which lumens u decide to use
it fits perfectly on the suppressor on my L2*, arms reach, the two switches Never get accidentally activated. could not be happier with product's. 🌟
I love the edc27. It taes a whole new experience having it around when im working. The various brightness lets me focus on certain equipment i wanna focus on. The flat design makes it easier to keep in the pockets and hang on the sling bag.
Very easy to use and like that it is rechargeable using type C cable
I was thinking of getting both EDC27 and Speras M4 when they came out, luckily did not buy back then if not would have missed the bundle.
Loving the new edc27, easy to handle
I like this torch. Feels solid and unlike conventional shape, the flat shape is better for pockets an doesn't bulge like the usual cyclical kind. The only thing that I didn't like is the plastic/acrylic tip of the torch that I feel is prone to abrasions and would prefer it to have some form of protection or a slight hood at its end. Overall still a good guy!
very beautiful, very powerful… as a “small size” torch, it is definitely versatile, easy to keep and carry around.
3K lumens is very limited time that can be used before it overheats. Its very compact and mobile to bring to sites, and night inspections. overall its a great light
