The Nitecore EDC09 is a compact, versatile everyday carry torch designed to adapt to the way you work. Powered by two quad core MCT UHE LEDs, it delivers up to 1600 lumens while offering multiple colour temperatures, allowing you to choose the most comfortable and accurate light for the task at hand.

The multiple colour temperature system provides warm, neutral and cool white outputs. The warm light offers excellent contrast and comfort in fog, rain or indoor environments, the neutral white gives more natural colour rendering for close inspection and general tasks, and the cool white delivers crisp clarity and maximum perceived brightness for outdoor use. The warm and neutral light offer higher CRI to help colours appear more accurate and reduce eye strain during prolonged use.

One of the standout features of the EDC09 is its flexible, hands free design. The head rotates through 102°, allowing you to angle the beam exactly where you need it, whether you are working in tight spaces or illuminating a work surface. This is complemented by a two way pocket clip for secure carry or cap mounting, and a magnetic tail base that lets the torch attach firmly to metal surfaces, making it ideal for vehicle work, workshops or DIY tasks.

Operation is simple using the slide switch and mode button. Sliding the switch forwards turns the torch on and adjusts brightness through low, mid and high, while sliding it back turns the light off. With the torch on, a short press of the mode button cycles between the three colour temperatures, with the last used setting automatically remembered.

An ultra low mode can be accessed from off by holding the mode button while switching the light on, and a warning flash mode is activated by pressing and holding the mode button when the torch is on. Full operating details can be found in the downloadable user manual.

Power comes from a built in 1100 mAh lithium ion battery, which recharges via the rear USB-C port in approximately 1 hour, 20 minutes. Four green LED indicators clearly display remaining battery power or charging status at a glance.

A diffuser is included, allowing the beam to be softened into a wide, even glow. This is ideal for close-up tasks, reading, or creating ambient light when working hands free, making the EDC09 even more versatile for everyday and work use.

Compact, robust and rated to IPX6 for water resistance, the Nitecore EDC09 is a highly adaptable everyday carry torch that combines intelligent lighting, practical hands free features and premium build quality in a pocket friendly design.

Great Headlight

I love everything about it. Perfect for late night walks or runs, or spying on foxes and badgers. The warm light is massively underrated too. My partner when on dog walks really appreciates not getting flashed in the face by 5000k+ white light when I look at her.

Quality

I like the build quality and it appears to be quite robust, but the the fact I can change the battery unlike my two olight balder pro r was the deciding factor.

Excellent batteries, not cheap, but think will pay for themselves

I used AI to look for rechargable batteries for my Quest 3 controller as the ones I had were not lasting at all. It turns out I was using the wrong voltage ones. These batteries in particular were recommended because of their inovative design and features. These are directly charged via USB-C, with the port built into the battery. The pack comes with a charger, which is a single USB-A with four USB-C off of that. These batteries also feature an onboard chip which directs the battery to always supply the full 1.5v and always shows 100% (on my Quest 3) until the battery reaches 10%, at which point it indicates it needs recharging. So far this has worked exactly as described. These will pay for themselves easily within 6 months versus non rechargables, and for the features and the quality of these batteries, I am more than happy to pay the up fron premium. With respect to buying from Torches direct, I did so because even with Amazon Prime, I would not have recieved the batteries for several weeks due to holiday period. The battery price on Torch direct was comparable with Amazon, the only difference was I paid for the delivery, which cam the next working day after I ordered. Very happy with both the product and the service

EDC37 Led Torch

Small but powerful torch. Long battery life when used in normal torch mode and has that powerful burst of light for as and when you need it. It is well constructed and feels good in your hand. It can get a little warm when used in high output but thats no bad thing in the winter.

An excellent versatile product

An excellent versatile product and well worth the cost.
This was bought to replace an aging, rubber coated version, as the rubber had deteriorated and become sticky and unpleasant.
The metal Torch Directversion is a far superior product. With the options of single beam, strip light or red strip light it is most versatile.

Nitecore TUP2 MCT Rechargeable LED Key Ring Torch

I work in the railway industry, as onboard traincrew.
My company issued lamp, while it serves its purpose and I still carry it in my bag, is very bulky.

While you wouldn’t be using the TX12 to carry out emergency protection, it is ideal to have on your keyring or in its holster to use during dispatch procedure for example.

Great product, would recommend. And the white light is quite bright!

Beast of a torch 🔦

I’ve always used fenix headlamps for years because I do a lot of fishing and need quality gear that won’t let me down I bought this torch for something to use quickly the quality is there same as fenix headlamps when it comes to lighting for outdoors fenix are at the top of the market I paired it with 2 fenix 18650 4000ah batteries because I wouldn’t use any other battery in a fenix light people may think that it’s a lot of money for a torch and batteries the fenix headlamp I use cost over £200 and are used by search and rescue fenix supply the military and emergency services with there gear thats all I can say torch direct where prompt with delivery it’s an absolute beast of a torch pretty much bomb proof worth every penny

Light and versatile

Bought for a friend who wanted something light and versatile for walking/camping trips. Great range of settings; very useful hands-free setting (switch on and off by waving hand — discovered this setting by accident!), nice removable head strap and USB charging function. Excellent value and arrived very quickly.

Great little Torch.

Good website, prompt delivery. The torch is light enough for a key ring, with one triple A battery. Easy to replace, simple to operate. Made by good company Fenix whom make tough stuff. Good buy.

Top quality

Have used it a couple of times and although worried when I opened the box that’s bulkier than I was expecting it sits well on your forehead, is not at all heavy and works well.

It's a Torch - but it's 'Top Dog!'

1. Light and compact.
2. Good that you can use both 'battery' [aaa] and 'battery pack'
3. For what it is, it comes at a reasonable price.
4. Many features regarding 'light type', but you'll probably, in the end, choose one.
5. First time that I have used/bought Nitecore and even though I am in no way an expert in 'head torches' it is damn good

Great touch for aviation.

I bought this torch as a present for my daughter who is a pilot,
It’s a great touch for doing her pre flight checks and general pilot duties.
Nice and bright and compact enough to fit in her flight bag.
