Nitecore EC20 LED Torch

The Nitecore EC20 is a compact every day carry torch, and has a maximum output of 960 lumens from a Cree XM-L2 U2 LED.

It is powered by one 18650 rechargeable lithium-ion battery, recommended for best run-times and value for money, or two CR123A non-rechargeable lithium metal batteries (not included).

Designed for easy one handed operation, the EC20 features a side switch that controls all outputs. Single press the side button to turn the torch on and off, and once the torch is on simply hold down the button to cycle through ultra-low, low, mid, turbo and release the button on the desired output. The last used setting will be remembered when the torch is next turned on. Instant access to ultra-low is achieved by holding the button for over 1 second with the light off.

Th access the special modes double click the button in quick succession to enter strobe, and then hold the button down to cycle strobe, SOS and location beacon. Press the button once to return to the previous state.

A power level indicator is built into the switch which will flash once every two seconds when the battery power reaches 50%, and once the power level is low it will begin to blink quickly. In addition, each time batteries are inserted the power indicator light will blink to display the battery voltage.

The temperature regulation will drop the brightness after minutes use in high mode to prevent overheating and extend battery longevity.
