20 years ago, tactical rechargeable lights lasted a max of 1 hour.
I carried 3 lights to make sure I got through a shift.
100 lumens was considered good then too.
Lights have come a long way.
Indeed it has! I’m not sure if the requirements have changed as well for guys to need so much brightness.
Light has come a long way.
This looks like a good choice for a backup and sort of always available light for duty purposes. Nice package with a lot of power when needed.
What duty you must be call of duty so can buy flashlight you like they serve me same like you to see in dark!
I saw a video on this channel and the content creator actually admitted to a mistake, owned up to it, and made it right. Been a fan ever since. I think it was the Acebeam M2 short. I thought that was really good, alot of folks have trouble with owning up to little mistakes. much love
This light would be a blessing for me in the workplace.I work for a company that houses at risk/ adjudicated youth. I work as a maintenance tech. A lot of emergency calls happen after hours. Whether it be a power outage to a broken window. To have this light handy would make my job so much easier working in the dark.
Congrats yours is the winning comment! Please reach out to hello@nitecorelights.com with this screenshot and we’ll walk you through the rest of the way 👍
And you might need protection
Get the P20ix it has self defense strobe mode and get this for your secondary light… ALWAYS carry two lights on duty in case one stops working or you drop it or break it etc
Tested this EDC25@ the roadshow yesterday. I love these buttons and the beam as compared to EDC27. Nice to meet you MJ and your team thanks for the wonderful explanation of each individual light function.
Awesome! Thanks for dropping by!
I think this is a great improvement over the EDC27 for two reasons, 1- the use of UHi leds for more efficiency and throw, and also a more neutral white over the SST40, and 2- the screenless design. I love screens on flashlights, but they are probably more useful in an EDC/enthusiast/civil flashlight rather than on a tactical one, where every extra piece that can break is a risk for the user. Great job on improving an already great product!
Another comment for the algorithm, im glad i found your channel because i love how brutally honest you are with explaining the light and its functions.. not just selling a product like its the best thing in the world and you can make it work for any situation when clearly things like this are made to play a certain role in your tool kit.. its not designed to be a full out carry flashlight to be used for hours at a time.. its perfect for my situation where i use my light a few times a night but when i use it its for a good reason..lol
Exactly that 👍
This light has always been on my wish list as it meets my needs as a small personal light, will stay in my pocket and will be used inside containers, hallways, room checking and office checking.
Great video 📹 👍!!! I have been waiting for this light. 28 years of law enforcement experience taught me that you can never have too many light options ✨️ 💛! Thank you! Keep making great lights!
This light is so slick, I would use it in my very dark workshop, and to walk home as my shop is in not a safe area. A super bright flash light is a good defense to buy you time to get away
Great looking light! I would use this all the time in server closets and crawlspaces for running cables.
I love that they fixed the Turbo button. Just wish they'd do something with the hugely protruding Power button. My EDC27 kept unlocking and turning on in my pocket. It happened so often I had to stop carrying it. The proximity sensor is a nice addition, but 500 lumens is still too much. Maybe it's enough to prevent getting my thighs set on fire when I'm driving, but it's still more than enough to attract looks from strangers at my lit up pocket (and it 100% will get hot over time - 500 lumens is not a sustainable output at this size, so it'll get as hot as temp control will alow). Just recess the button for god's sake.
Same reason I don't carry my 27. That button gets pushed by my belt or other stuff way too easily
Perfect light for every day quick use when doing aircraft safety checks on emergency quick response rescue flights and as a back up to my primary. Also would "shine" in security checks when getting in or out of vehicles especially in rural or sketchy areas.
It’s very nice would love one in my fire tunic when you already have a lot of gear a compact design is perfect
As a network administrator,I always need light for something. This would be a great light for working inside dark server racks and inspecting communication rooms.
Would be nice if we had runtime graphs for all nitecore lights
This torch would be perfect for me as I deliver at night in dark alleys and the slim design is perfect while carrying bulky trays to houses and flats and the easy buttons to adjust brightness levels would also be great for delivering in the rougher areas I have for self defence, I currently have the MH25 pro which is great but a little bulky once again great reviews 👌
I ❤ the instant strobe function.
Also ❤ the memory function
I just ordered the nitecore postol light ✨️ to review on the channel, its in the mail now
I currently carry the p23i for work, but the belt line holster can be bulky and is less ideal for more professional dress. I haven’t tried a slim profile light such as this, but I would like to. I like that it has lockout, low 15 lumen moonlight, and memory of last brightness.
Thin for the win... Thin EDC is essential as it lets you carry across a larger flat space so, an organiser in a suit side pocket. I am in IT and find this rather useful for cable risers, ceilings, etc. and extra useful for coming home after working late. The LED indicators are much better than any screens, this is a very good design indeed. If you carry advanced EDC in a suit and want to minimise bulk but can spread gear over the full width and depth of your pocket then this is ideal. I really like this.
I think this will be a bit better than the previous version, sometimes you need to shine at high brightness and press the whole switch and the strobe mod turns on, I used the previous version for about 3 months
The EDC25 would be perfect for travel. I fly a lot and having something this thin would be amazing.
This light would be a game changer. I work in the police in a very rural location and rely on lights when out looking for missing people or suspects. I need my lights to also be lightweight and easy to carry.
This light is just perfect for me. In my line of work, it is light and compact. Giving me more flexibility moving around and easy access to the use with flexible selection of brightness with the intended usage and duration. Awesome!
Very cool light. Would work great in any circumstance! Great for inspecting inventory where I work!
I am a ghostbuster. This new EDC25 is the best tool which I can use to shine on spirits, demons and vampires to scare them off. The turbo 3000 lumens can be a sudden surprise to burn the vampires into ashes! Am I able to win one too?
I have edc 27 and I love it. They should have kept the screen and done a mechanical lock out like on some of their other lights
I have no doubt these are good flashlights, in my opinion Nitecore builds quality gear.
I would most definitely want this now that my EDC27 is with my ancestors...
Simpler battery indicator.
Longer runtime at 200 and 65 lumens.
Further throw.
The only thing I'm curious is the heat. If the new LEDs are really more efficient then I wouldn't have to worry about cooking my pinky and holding it tight.
Amazing light. Would be perfect for duties and inspections as a locomotive engineer at night.
Wow, those smoky cam shots were 🔥 amazing content man 👏
I use a light in my daily life it has changed so much in how I do things I currently use a wuben c3 but I have been wanting a flat light for a while as it would fit my kit so much better
Great video once again, from the uk and work in the security industry! Had my eyes on these for a little while now so to win one would be a bonus! Keep the videos coming
selling the removal of the 2 stage mode button as an "upgrade" over the EDC27 is borderline ridiculous. Having both turbo and strobe instantly available is a big selling point of the EDC27, if only they added a mechanical slider lockout like they did on the EDC33.
What's the big knife they're on top of?
bastinelli separateur - love this one
That looks neat.
Looks like it could replace my olight for night shifts at work doing security and yard work.
The flatness looks great to lay flat.
Did this get upgraded to the glass lens?
Wish it was waterproof. Dropped my edc27 in a puddle and it hasn’t worked the same since
i work at a GROUP HOME for boys ages 11 thru 18. Some of the young men have very aggressive behaviors. As a part of my job i have to always check for drugs weapons and other items that they conceal from staff. This is a nice EDC that could help me feel safer while at work. This would be a nice work tool to have with me at all times!
I’ve owned a lot of Nitecore stuff and they make good products for someone who wants a good flashlight. MH12 v2, MH12 SE, EDC 27, and EDC 33. Used those models and though I had a few issues with the 27 their flashlights are excellent if you’re willing to pay.
Guy is actually honest about the product lol...ya love to see it
Personal carry? Is there some other type of carry share carry???
That's nice and all but there's too many other good lights compared to this one for me to even consider this one
Well said M.J., pick the right light!! My probably is, I pick them all 😆.
That’s a good tactic too 👍
I wouldn’t be using this for work but it would still be useful for me. I live in a town with high crime and a high cost of living. As a result I don’t own a car and walk home from my job. I am often walking home when it’s dark. This light would be perfect for me. The ease of carry, the brightness and the controls would be very useful if heaven forbid something happened. I currently carry a cheaper torch but it’s compromised and not up to the task. I hope the giveaway is open overseas because I could really benefit 😅
My EDC27 has the tail switch broken. I can't change the brightness level but the mode button still works. Is there anyway to fix this or should I go with the P20ix with NTC2i to have better protection for accidental operation? Many thanks!
Would say both have very different use cases, if you're looking for something more for tactical usage such as working in security or law enforcement, would recommend the latter but if you're just looking for an everyday carry that's easy to fit in your pocket, the EDC27 or perhaps a new EDC25 would still be a good option for you!
This new light would be amazing to use at the airport during the night shift and when inspecting things
Probably my next user FL due to minimalist form factor and function. Hope to win this one. Hehe
Can you tell me the name of the two benchmade knvies in this video ? Also great light just ordered mine
Benchmade SOCP and bastinelli seperateur
Looks like a great light.
The one huge, possibly fatal oversight with the EDC27 is that when the light is off, if you want to lock it, you have to turn on the light. If I'm trying to lock the light to prevent me from giving away my position, I probably don't want to have to turn it on first. I see this hasn't been fixed in the EDC25, seems like a really basic oversight.
Doesn’t sound like a real use case. Why would you want to lock out your light in such a situation? Wouldn’t you want your light to be easily accessible when you’re in the middle of ops?
Besides you can just quickly cover the front of EDC27 with your other hand if you need to lock it out without being seen.
@@NitecoreSG Preventing a white light ND is a fairly important feature I'd say. If it's being put away in a pocket or a bag, you don't want the light turning on. It's exactly this transition from wanting the light to be easily accessible to wanting it to absolutely not turn on accidentally that's important. If it's dark enough, it will probably be visible with the naked eye, and it's definitely visible under NODs (I've tried it).
I would use this for construction investigation.
anybody know the model of the big knife at the beginning?
What would you recommend as a replacement for the new petzl e lite +?
Awesome light!! Ordering
Please I need assistance. I'm in-between the p10i and p10ix do to the slim profile. I'm an officer at a county jail. Would u recommend a flood or spot light? Please help 🙏
County jail, does your work take you mostly indoor or you have to search open grounds? Indoor only = flood. If you have to search open grounds, mixed beam is better
Considering purchasing this but wondering if we have it set to strobe mode is turbo still accessible somehow?
Can’t, you’d have to change the button action. Either or only
@@NitecoreSG thank you, I appreciate the quick reply! Great video 👍
...for senior ... best for night walks, feel safe 😉
I’d use it when I’m doing night security at school functions
Used this the other day to strobe on my Grab driver. Apparently he drove past me failing to see me despite me standing at the porch waiting for him to pick me. Lol.
Real cool how can I get one
that light is for me. oregon is so frigging dark!!
Wow really cool 😎
i used my edc27 for a night hike to see if it was enough. long story short it was.
What brightness level did you run it at, did you find the runtime adequate?
@@NitecoreSG I think what people don't understand is when you are in absolute darkness you can easily find your way with 65 and 200 lumens. So I mostly sat on 200 lumens with the occasional bump to high at 1000. Lasted me the full 5 hours I was out with battery to spare. Awesome light. I did have the MH12 pro and MH25 Pro in my bag but never needed them.
Nitecore is go to torch...
What's the name of the blade at the beginning with a hawks claw like blade?
Benchmade SOCP
@@NitecoreSGThanks, but not that one. It's the one at 0:08
Bastinelli Separateur
@NitecoreSG Thank you so much! Definitely getting one this Friday.
Love my nitecore. Burned a hole in my lulus
Why not make one with a removable/retractable knife?
no real use case, not airline safe, among other reasons
I returned my EDC27. I didn't like it. Perhaps the EDC25 will be more my cup of tea.
What did you not like about the EDC27 though
need minium 75k candela to blind during daytime...this is ok for illumination but not as a tool other then that
@@granitejeepc3651 under what scenario do you need to blind someone in daytime? Trying to understand your use case
Which power bank is that in the video?
Carbo20k and Carbon Battery 6K. only these 2 were shown
Good to see you Mr Nightwalker. Can you direct me to a very extreme flashlight? most powerful and extreme throw. its for hunting at night so it will need to last a long time. so maybe you have a good choice and recommend to me? Thank you my friend. Night Stalker
try the MH25 PRO or MH40 series
Heaven help you if you want to use the lock/unlock mode: it doesn't work at all like the instructions show, or as is printed on the side of the light.
*Here's how it actually works...*
To half-lock:
1. Turn the light on by fully pressing the small power button down until it clicks. Let it go.
2. Half-press and hold the power button. *DON’T press all the way in until it clicks.*
3. Lock light flashes once. *Stop pressing!*
To fully-lock:
1. Turn the light on by fully pressing the small power button down until it clicks. Let it go.
2. Half-press and hold the power button. DON’T press all the way in until it clicks.
3. Lock light flashes once. *DON’T stop pressing!*
4. Lock light flashes second time. Now stop pressing.
To unlock:
1. Half-press power button quickly once, then half-press it again immediately and hold. *DON’T press all the way in until it clicks.*
2. While you're holding the button halfway down, the blue lights light up sequentially. *Hold until all four are lit.*
Can you send me the link,thanks

@NitecoreSG Does it have Beacon Mode?
No beacon for this model
Would really love to own one so that I don’t have to worry about buying a replacement battery and depend on the power banks that I owned.
Sadly it's not waterproof 😢
@eye1dry138 🤦🏼♂️
Website says weatherproof?
@@AeonsOfBlight only ip54 . That means not fully dustproof and it can only take water spray
@@AeonsOfBlightBasically you can drop this on puddle of water and it will still work. Or light rain.
But you don't submerge this in water
If it's not waterproof it's overpriced and useless. What u all forget is this costs 10$ to make
For context ipad costs 1000 plus, and they cost 300$ to make in America
But overseas the cost to make an iPad goes down to less then 100
So ya buy this if it's good for ur military or law career sure it's ur life
But besides that th8s is overpriced toy
Nice improvements in an already great light. I use EDC27 as my EDC. As a consultant, I travel frequently and I always take this light with me for being easy to use and for the tactical reasons/self defense. Since I already own the EDC27, the improvements are not enough to justify an upgrade, but make sense to buy the new version if you don't have any of them yet. The only improvement I am not a fan of is the single action button with a programmable action. I prefer the double action, this way I always have both options available, and don't have to remember what I programmed. Thanks for the great content!
Is it rechargeable?
love how you dont hype up fake functions and tell us straight up what this flashlight can and cant do. definitely will be buying one in the future
hell yeah I would use this. I'm a teacher and to see the darkness that the school board tries to put on my students!
You could use the protection too
A flashlight is just about the only defensives tool you can carry in Australia without cause for suspicion. Would be even better with a striking bezel and thumb ring. 😂
I need one of these..lol.. i work at walmart on 3rd shift cuz im raising my daughter alone and i have a flashlight we sell thats shaped like that and i use it for the dark places in and out of the store because the area its in isnt the greatest with alot of drug users and homeless people but back to the light the one i have kinda sucks. The main reason i got it was because i have a pouch on my belt i use to keep my box cutter, Leatherman and there is one spot that lights like this slide in perfect so i dont have to keep a light in my pocket or vest, all my tools are in one spot.. next year at tax time im upgrading my flashlight after seeing these
Been using the edc27 for sometime now. I keep it on me everyday as my go to personal protection in my clinic. This edc25 would be great backup or vice versa.
Been a fan of your reviews. Everything is well explained and very convincing.
I didn't know that there was a different type without screen... loo,s good to me, going to have to save up for one..thanks for your time and the video
This would be a perfect upgrade / replacement for my old TUP with port flap and display gone. Also finally going from micro USB to Type-C. Most significantly safety wise commuting late night. Hope I can get this blessing. Thank you for another awesome review!
Was waiting for your review. I just bought the 27 and compared it with my MT2A, I’m still amazed by this latter one. 90g only, throw even more (not a flowder though) but I just love this little flashlight. To the point I might not keep the 27 for now. The MT2A is not perfect (lack of ergonomic with only one switch, no strobe) but the value of Lumens per grams is unmatched for me
I got the edc27 and others, but I want to have his edcl25 as well.
Cant believe they didnt change the lenght and the power 🤦🏻♂️
That’s for another model 👍
This will be good for my night hikes! Small and non bulky
I would love to try this new light out for my gun bag, or just EDC 🎉
Best light for security and law enforcement. Would have bought this if I hadn't purchased the P18.
EDC 27 is an indispensable tool for work. However even with the electronic lockout they need to fix the proximity sensor. Burned holes in 2 pairs of my 5.11 pants and it was bad. Charred shit. It’s a problem if you are sticking the flashlight on “lock” in a front pocket. Ordered a EDC 33 with the mechanical lockout to help.
I would use this light as my edc when I have to go to the UK as the flat design will be easy to carry and where I am has very little surrounding lights at night so this will come in very handy.
Why no Steel bezel? Damn! You make it knife grip but no hardened bezel! Fire your Designer
That might show up in a later version, who knows 🤔
@@NitecoreSG had the Chance now …
I like the Olight ArkFlex more for EDC and work.
why would you conceal carry a flash light as if it is a gun? my pen would work better in defending myself. That word choice is odd.
I really dig the flat form factor for this EDC flashlight, and packing a 3000 lumens in such a compact-sized tool, awesome!
Pocket realty is important for me as i wear office slacks everyday,so this flat design will be a blessing for me
This light will be great to have when doing quick aircraft inspection at the apron area, slim and easy to carry by clipping to be trousers pocket, no need for holster. At home, I'll attach a lanyard and use it when walking the dog at nite. I'll even bring it overseas for vacations since it is easy to carry.
heating up like crazy
What is the CRI of the UHI LED used in this one?
