Nitecore EDC31

The Nitecore EDC31 is not your casual flashlight. It’s a 3,100-lumen compact beast that rides the line between tactical and practical - fits your hand like a glove, floods your path with light, and disappears in the pocket when the mission's over. No gimmicks. Just power, speed, and clean lines.

Performance

It starts fast and stays ready. The dual-stage switch gives you instant access to Turbo or Strobe — no cycling required. For daily use, the lower modes stretch battery life and keep you moving low-key. USB-C charging, waterproof build, and enough throw to cut through night fog or deep alley. This thing doesn't blink. It executes.
