Nitecore has unveiled a new flashlight called the EDC09, designed with a flat housing. This model brings together multiple functions from the EDC line that were once exclusive to the company’s specialized flashlights. For the very first time in such a slim form factor, it includes a flip-up head. The integrated belt clip allows it to be conveniently used in a chest pocket, and the head can be tilted forward by as much as 102°. Additionally, the two-way clip works with caps, and the flashlight’s rear is magnetic. To enhance its utility, Nitecore has also added a diffuser that attaches to the flashlight, turning it into a lantern.
Innovative Light Features
The EDC09 showcases MCT (Multicolor Turntable), enabling users to alter the light color through a blend of two types of LEDs. This feature is reminiscent of the Tini 3 (review available only in German). Users can select from 3,000, 4,500, and 6,500 Kelvin. Nitecore also lists CRI (Color Rendering Index) metrics, with the warm light at 3,000 Kelvin offering an impressive CRI of 97. Meanwhile, the neutral white and cool white lights have CRIs of 83 and 73, respectively. Switching between modes is as simple as pressing a designated button on the side. Holding the button down turns on a 5-hertz warning light. The flashlight itself powers on in three different levels through a slide switch, similar to the EDC17 model.
Specifications and Pricing
This flashlight carries an IPX6 rating, measures just over 10 cm in length, and weighs 114 grams with the battery included. The battery is non-removable and charges via USB-C, allowing for operation while charging. In its brightest setting, the battery lasts for 2 hours and 15 minutes, while in the dimmest setting, it can last up to 250 hours, regardless of the selected color. However, the brightness and range can vary based on the light color. Detailed specifications can be found in a table provided by the manufacturer below.
The Nitecore EDC09 has already started shipping, with a price tag of approximately $70, as confirmed by Nitecore when asked.
