Nitecore EDC27 Slim Rechargeable LED Torch

The EDC27 is an ultra-slim, high performance rechargeable torch with a maximum output of 3000 lumens in the turbo mode. It features an OLED screen display and utilises a USB Type-C charging port for easy and fast charging.

The OLED display provides information about the current status of the EDC27 when the light is turned on. It successively shows the brightness level & lumen output, the user mode and the run-time remaining. After the screen goes out it can be reactivated by half pressing the power button.

Two independent switches are located at the top of the torch, a power button and a mode button. The power button turns on the EDC27 and then can be used to cycle through the different light outputs with a short half press, as long as the screen is on. The following output modes can be cycled through: Ultra Low, Low, Medium and High. To directly turn the torch to the Ultra Low output simply half press and hold the power button when the torch is off and release to turn the torch off again. Or to directly turn the torch to the Turbo output simply half press and hold the mode button when the torch is either on or off and release to return to the torch's original mode or turn the torch off. The EDC27 will remember the last used brightness level the next time it is turned on.

To prevent accidental activation, the EDC27 has two lockout modes. Lockout 1 is a half lockout mode and disables the use of the power button, however you can still half press and hold the mode button to access turbo or full press and hold the mode button to access strobe should you still need partial access to light in an emergency. This mode is activated by holding down the power button while the light is on until the screen shows a padlock icon with a 1.

Lockout 2 is a full lockout mode and disables all output functions. It is accessed the same way as lockout 1, however you continue to hold the button longer until the screen shows the padlock icon with a 2. To unlock the light from either lockout modes, press the power button once and release and then immediately press and hold until the screen displays the key symbol to show the progress bar for unlocking and the light comes on.

The EDC27 is powered by a built-in 1700 mAh lithium-ion rechargeable battery which is recharged via the USB-C charging port located on the side of the torch. Remove the dust cover and plug in the included USB-C cable at one end and plug the other end into a USB port or a compatible USB adaptor. The indicator will blink slowly and the screen will display battery status while charging is in progress and once charging is complete after approximately 1 hour, 45 minutes the indicator will be solid and the screen will display a full battery icon. A battery protection circuit is incorporated that provides over-discharge, over-charge and anti short circuiting protection.

Remaining battery power is indicated by pressing the power switch while the EDC27 is turned off and the OLED screen will display the battery level bar and the voltage. When the battery voltage is below 3.4 V the power indicator beneath the buttons will flash blue every 2 seconds to inform the user to charge the battery.

The advanced temperature regulation module allows the EDC27 to regulate its output and adapt to the ambient environment to maintain optimal performance.
