Nitecore EC20 LED Torch

The new Nitecore EC20 is the latest addition to the Explorer series and represents outstanding value for money while outperforming torches that cost several times as much.

The EC20 has a maximum brightness of 960 lumens from the Cree XM-L2 T6 LED and is powered by one 18650 rechargeable lithium-ion battery or two CR123A non-rechargeable lithium metal batteries.

Designed for easy one handed operation, the EC20 features a side switch with an integrated power level indicator. When the battery power reaches 50%, the power indicator flashes once every two seconds. When power levels are low, the power indicator will blink rapidly. Each time batteries are inserted the power indicator light will blink to display the battery voltage.

A double click of the side switch from the off position will immediately enter strobe mode.
