Designed for discreet carry with real-world versatility, the Nitecore EDC17 packs three mission-ready light sources into a slim, stainless steel frame. Its primary white light delivers up to 1,500 lumens with a beam reaching 230 meters, giving you confident reach for navigation, checks, and rapid scene lighting without the bulk of a traditional tube light. Where the EDC17 separates itself is utility: a dedicated ultraviolet light (three levels, 365–375 nanometers) supports inspection and verification tasks, while the integrated green laser (class 3R, less than five milliwatts) provides quick pointing and signaling when you need precision. Control is fast and practical, with a slide switch for on and output selection, plus an M button for direct access functions. Built for hard use, the EDC17 uses a stainless steel shell with physical vapor deposition coating, an ingress protection rating of IPX7, and two-meter impact resistance. It also integrates a detachable silicon nitride ceramic glass-breaking tip for emergencies. Power comes from a built-in 1,500 milliamp-hour lithium-ion battery with universal serial bus type C charging (about one hour thirty minutes at five volts two amperes), and an ultra-low mode that can run up to 260 hours. Key Features 1,500-lumen max output – high-intensity white light for rapid illumination and confident use outdoors 230-meter beam distance (12,400 candela peak intensity) – reach and clarity for checks, navigation, and perimeter scanning Ultraviolet inspection light (365–375 nanometers) – three levels up to 1,350 milliwatts for verification and detail work Integrated green laser pointer – quick, precise pointing and signaling (class 3R, less than five milliwatts) Stainless steel body with physical vapor deposition coating – rugged flat-body construction built for daily carry Ingress protection rating IPX7 + two-meter impact resistance – weather and drop readiness Detachable ceramic glass breaker tip – emergency egress capability without adding bulk Built-in 1,500 milliamp-hour battery + universal serial bus type C charging – dependable power with about one hour thirty minutes charge time Advanced Temperature Regulation – automatic output control to maintain stable performance Advanced Power Cut-Off + power indicators – low standby drain and clear remaining-battery indication
