The Nitecore EDC37 is a tactical EDC torch designed for high performance, featuring 8000 lumens maximum output and a 420 metre maximum beam distance. Powered by 2 x NiteLab UHi 20 MAX LEDs and a built-in 8000mAh lithium-ion battery, it delivers a maximum runtime of 190 hours. A multifunctional OLED display provides real-time information on brightness, lumens, battery level, and runtime. Intuitive operation is provided by dual tail switches, offering customizable access to SEARCH, LUMIN SHIELDโข, and STROBE modes, alongside a level preset function. Constructed with a high strength stainless steel body and PVD coating, the torch has an IP54 ingress protection rating and is impact resistant to 2 metres. It supports fast USB-C charging and includes advanced features like Rapid Lockโข for accidental activation prevention, an Advanced Temperature Regulation (ATR) module, and detachable silicon nitride ceramic tips for glass breaking.

Note: The stated data is measured by using the built-in Li-ion battery (8,000mAh), in accordance with the international flashlight testing standards ANSI/PLATO FL 1-2019, at an ambient temperature of 26ยฐC (79ยฐF) from the NITECORE Lab. The data may vary in real world use due to different environmental conditions.
* The data is tested without the temperature regulation.
Performance and Runtime Disclaimer
How to read the data: The outputs provided above are maximum outputs for each mode, and the runtimes provided are the time it takes to drop to 10% of the initial output. This is in line with the International Flashlight Testing Standard ANSI FL1.
Any visual representations (graphs) of the data are approximate only.

The actual output of the torch/headlamp is controlled by an in-built temperature regulation system. As the torch/headlamp heats up, the brightness will drop to prevent overheating. The Turbo modes of torches/headlamps usually drop down significantly after anything from 15 seconds to 2 minutes. High modes often also experience a drop down over time. Medium and Low modes, however, can be constant for very close to the length of time specified. As the torch/headlamp cools down, either from being turned off or from being used on a lower output level, you will be able to access higher brightness levels again.
Example: An output of 2000 lumens and runtime of 5 hours does not mean 2000 lumens for 5 hours โ it means it starts at 2000 lumens and drops below 200 lumens after 5 hours of continuous use.
Turbo and high modes may be unavailable or limited as the battery gets low on charge.
Exact specifications can vary between torches, batteries, age and environments.
