I needed to pause the video to tell you that your review is near PERFECTION that was exactly what i was looking for. A highly detailed review of this edc 35!
I've got the edc35and 33 and I've used over 30 different flashlights last month and these are easily the best , the built in battery isn't a negative tbh ,
I was just about to purchase this light, UNTIL I realized the battery was not removeable. That's a NO-GO for me personally. Hopefully that changes in the next release. Thanks for the excellent reviews you provide.
@@DJNicShogun their loss then. My company doesn't buy flashlights with non removable batteries. It would be stupid af. And spike costs. Nitecore can keep selling to ppl who just buy as hobby or don't really use flashlights other than occasional use
@@DJNicShogunThey make a lot of lights w removable barriers. This one is more like a cell phone. 500-1500 non changeable battery. Ends up in a drawer or traded in at a big loss. This light costs nothing. I have orbtronic 18650s over 10 years old. Doubtful this battery will wear out before better tech replaces it and it ends up in the drawer with old cell phones.
Great review! I also have both but have used them so little I hadn't noticed the focused hot spot on lower modes. Good point. I have over 30 Nitecore lights now and over 300 lights of different kinds in the stable. Nitecore is my favorite overall.
This has been my main EDC flashlight for about a month as well. It's a solid flashlight all-around. Plenty of light around the cranberry bogs and neighborhood with my son. Highly recommend and is very easily carryable.
I am pretty much on the same page with you on this one. I would carry it bigger to be able to change batteries out. And scattered beam on low would be perfect. I like cool white lites but availability in both would be nice. Catch this on sale and for about the price of a tank of gas you got a good light for multiple years. Thank you for update.
@@ChrispyThings that’s a tough one. I like them equally for the roles they play. The EDC33 goes with me on dark walks. The EDC35 sits at the ready on my night stand alongside my Nitecore P23i. 👍🏽
I Don’t understand why people are so fixated on the built in battery. Love my 35 and the capability to charge it with the same charger I charge my phone with. It’s an every day carry.
Because batteries don’t last forever. If it won’t take a charge anymore, the light is useless. I know it’s a EDC light. I explain this on my channel all the time and don’t feel like explaining it here
Because any built in battery is like a disposable stuff.. battery will degraded over time.. instead of tossing the battery and replacing with new one, you need to toss the entire good flashlight if the battery ever gone bad.
I was thinking what could be a replacement for my 10yo Nitecore P12. The EDC35 seems to be very similar in utility (plus the extra power) but I really dislike the aesthetics of this compared to the P12. Edit: oh, no strobe. it’s hard for me to imagine a nitecore EDC flashlight without a strobe.
I got my edc 35 replacement after the first one was DOA, I’m glad I stayed with it, it’s a great light, so good that I’m selling my Olight baton 3 pro max, it’s not even close
I'm a security guard. I think this will make an excellant security guard light. I have many flashlights and think if i like this one, I might purchase the 33 as well. I don't get the controversy over the batteries. Dont you guys have another flashlight to use while this one charges? Is that the only tactical flashlight you own? I highly doubt that! Also, dont you guys carry an external charger? I have many of them. Here in Florida, we are used to losing the power. I depend on chargers and lights! Cheers! Are you guys gonna be ready when the lights go out for a month? Think about that.
@@Pittlord how are you gonna run out of battery when it outputs 300 lumens for over 9 hours? Nobody's gonna have 300 lumens on constantly, and you can just recharge it when off shift. Having said that, these lights are both too big for me so I've just ordered an MT1A pro. 50 grams and 16000 candela!
@@mmhmm9271 Rechargable battery life lasts about 500 cycles, after that resistanse is increasing (you need more time to charge) and capacity is dropping down (your flashlight work less time). After 5-6 years of intensive usage battery will lose more than half its capacity = dead battery which cannot be replaced. When flashlight takes 7-8 hours to charge and work half time than 5 year ago you will understand what we are talking about.
@@Pittlord right, I thought you meant short term "dead" and not long term "dead". I definitely see where you're coming from, removable is of course preferable but I don't think that non removable is a massive deal. If lights costed as much as phones, then I'd have a big issue with it, just as I alrrady do with the latter.
having a 2m impact rating over 1.5m like most other flashlights, is such a slept on attribute. Maybe its just a number, but the amount of flashlights ive lost dropping it from 3-5ft is nuts
Which one is the best overall flashlight for you edc35 or p23i ? I have p20ix and now I would like to buy a new flashlight with longer throw but I cannot decide which one should I choose 😅 pls help me
I don't know man, I'm never going to complain about too much throw, especially on low outputs. They're generally way more useful for longer. But yeah, for reading in low light, I get your point that diffusion is nice. I think this is just the wrong light for that. Or could use a diffuser. You can always create spill from throw, but never the other way around.
The EDC 35 is 9 out of 10 in drop test durability. Almost made it to spiking it on concrete on torque test channel. That sealed body helped it vs other Nitecore replaceable battery lights.
I've been using the P20ix for a year or two strapped to my backpack. I mostly use it outdoors and if I need the power, not usually as an EDC on my person. I like it, but I always wanted more throw for my usage. This looks like it might be a nice replacement, with good throw and the ability to flood. My actual EDC in my pocket is a Rovyvon A28 Gen2, which is fantastic and I use it all the time.
I have both and agree the 35 all the way. Where that spotlight in the middle works well is in outdoors where there is ambient light. It cuts through which is what a good tactical light should do.
I don't get using internal batteries that really only are optimal for 300-500 charges (likely 3-5 years of daily use) vs the LEDs which can last for a decade.
no worries,mine kaput on its board erlier😅.another flashlight remain missing.those two serves me less than half year.all this powerfull flashlight didnt mention/give waranty on their circuit board.
Io uso la mia Edc35 tutte le notti per circa mezz'ora ora di passeggiata col cane e l'ho caricata dopo circa un mese (6000mah di batteria costituiscono una capacità enorme). Fatti due conti e comprenderai che se consideriamo le 300 ricariche di durata minima ottimale che hai indicato mi durerà 300 mesi (25 anni). Magari la userò di più alcune volte? Facciamo 20-15 anni. Vogliamo proprio esagerare e fare un'ipotesi estrema, dove la uso 1-1,5 ore al giorno FISSE per anni, cosa improbabile? 12-8 anni (di media, 10 anni). Insomma: la betteria non durerà meno dei led, e “invecchierà” benissimo con essi. Il punto è che però queste indicazioni - con tanto di dimostrazioni tecniche - dovrebbe fornirle spontaneamente Nitecore, anzi dovrebbe esibirle con vanto invece di lasciar germogliare i motivati sospetti di tantissimi potenziali clienti.
Is the battery replaceable by screws or glue? Do you have any plan to replace the battery non destructive like a how to operand replacing the battery without scratching the edc35.
Was shocked to see this as one of the "frequently returned items" on Amazon. I avoid any product with that label. Sad, because on paper, I was digging it.
Another frequently returned item - are laser printer drums. People run out of ink in their laser printers, and so they buy the photosensitive drum instead of the toner. Read the instructions before buying the ink, please! The same happen with the Nitecore EDC series of flashlights. People see them, people like them, people buy them. After having received them, and operated them, people attempt to replace the battery, when they realise how strong their bias and their pre-assumptions are. Then they return the flashlight to Amazon because they feel they have been cheated.
I waited for the EDC35 and it's been in my backpack since I got it. I think it's still on it's first charge as I hardly ever need it but it's there when I need it.
It does everything i want, instant turbo whilst still being able to power on in a low mode is so rare. Only downside is that built in battery, i really don't like that.
😭 just bought this and lost it after my first night using it at work. 😮💨 Left it on my car as I was leaving the park lot, I think someone picked it up ugh
so wahts the point of having a 5000 lumens flashlight if you can only use 5000 lumens for 15 sec at a time , dont get me wrong i like Nitecore but i feel like its marketing skeem, if you think about its hard to get a flashlight of that size to do 3k 4k 5k lumens but nitecore can deliver but only at 15 secs. so lets come out with another flashlight slightly bigger that can hit 7k lumens but only for 15 sec but it can run 5k for x amount of time. they did that with the edc 33 thats why theres a edc 35 . its a never ending cycle/ marketing skeem
Every company does this. With Nitecore they’re marketing their “Lumen Shield” as a self defense mode so the way they see it, only a burst is needed. Plus if this light was able to sustain 5000 lumens for minutes at a time, it would need to be much larger to dissipate the heat better
Tldr I see something don't wanna waste time walking to check I boost Check rinse repeat I could go with a over powered big Constant 5k mode light but do you need it constantly Then go get one I don't I want a bigger (not huge)backup That get the job done in a pinch
I couldn't agree more! I've already criticised this in a comment under a video about a comparison of the Nitecore MH12 Pro and the Fenix PD36R V2.0. The turbo on the MH12 Pro only lasts 23 s to 30 s, before it steps down from 3300 lm to 1200 lm. The PD36R V2.0 with only 1700 lm on the other hand will turbo for more than a minute and have such a shallow decline, that it will stay brighter for almost 30 minutes. I wish Nitecore would offer diagrams about the actual light output, as Fenix does.
@@smug_cat1 Yes, turbo with a step-down makes sense, but 15 s seems a bit too short in my opinion, even for just looking at something at distance. With a more conservative light output of maybe 4000 lm, they could have potentially increased the turbo duration to 60 s, while still being bright enough, but instead it will step down to 1300 lm. I guess bigger numbers are just better for marketing.
I was interested until I heard "BUILT IN BATTERY" I will not buy any flashlight that does the built in battery, proprietary battery or even the odd sizes -(26800, 26900, 32650, 20700, 14650) There are so many options with the commonly available inexpensive battery options, I see no reason to support this marketing ploy.
It’s a standard usb-c rechargeable battery. While switching standard batteries is quicker & an understandable preference, not everyone wants to carry around the extra bulk. Rechargeable lights that you only need to carry a cable around & have a bit of patience for while recharging, are much more convenient & preferable for others.
@@NashiHeartSoulSpirit It is not about switching batteries vs charging. It is the fact that when the battery in that light goes bad, your light just became garbage- where as with any 18650 0r 21700 powered flashlight of the same size weight and power, you just replace battery and the light is back to 100%. R/C toys, laptops, vapes-- everybody knows that lithium batteries fail - flashlights are no exception.
Bye Bye nitecore, build in batteries are a No Buy for law enforcement and first responders. You just cant go on a 8 hour nightshift with just one build in battery. I always carry spare batteries with me.
@@NashiHeartSoulSpirit I think @trevorstepoo8838 means if the cell reaches the end of its lifetime. Lithium-Ion batteries typically last 300 to 800 charge cycles, while the emitter is typically rated for 50,000 hours. So if you plan on using the light for several hours every night, you can expect a lifetime of maybe two years, while the emitter will and everything else will still be in a very good condition. And if you always charge it to 100%, expect the battery to deteriorate even faster. And all because they didn't make the battery removable. I think that's just wasteful and Nitecore should take some responsibility. The savings in space and weight are minuscule on a light this size, and I seriously doubt that Nitecore will take back and recycle these lights, let alone replace batteries. They will just end up in landfill, people will accept that flashlights are now disposable and Nitecore will be able to sell replacements sooner.

Warm white for EDC because it seems silly for a tac light.

this torch only costs 95 in my country if it last a good 2 years or so wont mind paying again for new flashlight
Same. Worse than Olight with the proprietary batteries
Think about the environment though @@DJNicShogun
lol built in battery, that’s a deal breaker for pretty much everyone. They would have been a hit if it weren’t for that.
its gettin tooo hot in few seconds.. thats really mad
Built in batteries, no thanks. I thought you could remove the battery.
The most hot mode of edc35 is when you stay in 1300 for over than 3mins😅
Hmm. I’ve tried that and didn’t seem that hot. Maybe I should’ve officially tested it
It would be better with 21700 battery, nitecore pls dont make anymore built in batteries
