Nitecore EDC27 Ultra Slim LED Torch: Hands-on

A new ultra compact model from Nitecore, this time the company started this project on Kickstarter. It's an unusually flat body, but with dual two stage switches for ease of use, also an OLED display gives detailed information on power level and run time, as well as charging.
The body is made from stainless steel with a special Titanium PVD coating, which gives a grippy finishing (matte effect). The design looks well suited for a slim pocket carry, but also takes up little space in a backpack of bag.

I take an in depth look at the Nitecore EDC27, and give you some of my thoughts on this model.

Great informative video. This EDC27 is definitely moving towards the form factor of the Tip SE. The T4K was always hindered by it's very "blocky" form factor that would disqualify it from most EDC users rotation system. One thing Nitecore got right with the T-Series was offering the user a light with a beam pattern that is functional and widening it's application for daily use and not spearing towards the all too typical tac light beam pattern with it's very obvious hotspot. I own the Tip SE and it's the light I use more than any of my other lights. The EDC27 is definitely taking the the T series concept and attempting of making it more powerful and increasing capacity without making it cumbersome like the T4K and TUP.

Nice review as always! I think this design is interesting and yes you are right, this is the new model to give a solution to the "200-4000 lumen" gap on the T4K. However, Nitecore should create a new battery solution/pack that would be removable in the future—something like on their headlight models. You know, that flat battery.

As a TUP owner I love the display and the unique designs that aren't just tubes, Nitecore and others are putting out. However I just can't see myself putting more money into enclosed battery designs. Some of my tube lights with removable batteries will probably outlive me. Additionally, in my opinion, Fenix's threaded and double o-ring usb-c cover design is a game changer, that I hope to see other companies copy or somehow improve. Great review btw. Keep it up.

Its now 9 months after your excellent review. I have wanted a flashlight in this form factor for a while. I had held off on this EDC27 in hopes that Olight would develop the Arkfeld into a white light only dual LED flashlight. That has not happened, the newest model the Arkfeld Pro still has a green laser and a UV light, and only one white light LED. I have the Arkfeld Pro and although a very nice quality light it has features I don't need and falls short in total lumen output. Plus I think the EDC27 with provide a better beam pattern for my use out doors. So after re-watching your review I have decided to purchase the EDC27. As always I appreciate your most excellent reviews.

Yes! This is the most amazing flashlight form factor. It's like the TIP SE on steroids!

Normally shy away from built in batteries, until I bought a rovyon angel eye side angle light. Been my go to since working the theater. This Nitecore is going to be the replacement to that rovyon.

Very cool light! Fixed battery is no big deal, it'll last for years! 👍

Wow, this is really something new from Nitecore!

I've been interested to get Surefire Stiletto ( since 2019 ) because of the slim form factor and still not decided to get it because of the price and availability. Excited to see Nitecore EDC27 release, profile wise similar with SF Stiletto and definetely Nitecore will get my money once it's available on local online market place.

[adamgrimes]

Nice competitor to the stiletto and wedge

Great informative video. I just purchased one.

The videogame like display and thinness sold me. Need one.

Nice review Mr Baz
Cool design, something different.
Would be cool if the pocket clip would revolve.
Not a fan of the switch placement, mainly because the electronic lockout are sometimes finicky on some of the Nitecore lights.
No excuse being caught in the dark these days, even as a muggle.
👍

So far I have been carrying it 3 days and the only thing I don't like about it is when people at the office see it that keep asking me when I started vaping.
