Best torch I’ve had from Nitecore so far or even at all. This torch is just perfect for what I need it for which is everyday checks restaurants, theatres, cafes and office building while conducting pest control servicing. The biggest reason I’m a huge fan of this type is because you can lock it so it won’t turn on accidentally in your pocket which is huge benefit for me as I always had my torches turning on in my pocket accidentally. The battery life is awesome and even though I use it everyday heavily, although mainly on the second bright mode which is more than enough for me to find droppings of mice I only have to charge your torches like every 2 months or so which is awesome. Another great benefit is that it remembers the last mode which I know is nothing new when it comes to modern torches but I only purchased one 2 weeks prior to this only to find that the first one I had to click through the modes every time which was a big negative so I went and bought this EDC31 and haven’t looked back since. My next purchase will be the slim ones I quite like and interested to test. I also like the slim one where you have green, red and white lights. That’s a winner one but I’m yet to try it.

I love nitecore. Unfortunately this model came with a bent pocket clip and the tail switch was hyper sensitive, activating under slight pressure resulting in a light that is a bit unruly. For a light this powerful you need to have confidence in the controls so you don’t accidentally blind yourself or others. I returned this, and thanks to the team for quick replies and great customer service. I’m going to hold out for the updated P series lights! Hopefully they come before this winter.

Excellent item. Battery life very impressive. Size just right. Brightness very good. UI very simple and natural. The lanyard supplied is designed to go through the pockey clip but the pocket clip can obviously detach so if you were hoping to thread lanyard through a belt loop to keep the torch secure if it came off the clip that won't work..clip is sturdy and has good retention but I have caught it once and the torch popped out...luckily it fell into my pocket. Lanyard hole on the actual unit would be great and would have been five stars..but this issue won't stop me using it and is my current favorite edc torch. Highly Recommended.
