20 Cores giving 3 unique beams of glory TorchMonster reckons the EX7 is like strapping a stadium floodlight to your hand — only smarter, smaller, and with a few tricks up its sleeve. With a blistering 6 lumens of output and seven micro-optic lenses stitched together, this bad boy turns pitch-black paddocks into daylight faster than your neighbour flicking on the floodies for a backyard cricket game. The New Breed of Beam This isn’t your old man’s torch. Nitecore cooked up a fresh LED format for the EX7, stacking seven ultra-thin micro-lenses to create a devastating wall of light that hits 400 metres out the back. The beam’s smooth, wide, and seriously impressive — perfect for everything from night missions to finding that one rogue tent peg. Tough as Old Boots Built like a little tank, the EX7 is IP68-rated, so it’s waterproof and dustproof — basically tradie-proof. Drop it in a chilly bin, dunk it in the river, or just keep it clipped to your belt; the aircraft-grade aluminium body will shrug it all off. Plus, at just 169 grams, it won’t weigh down your pack. Juice for Days USB-C charging keeps things sweet as, topping up the NL21700 HP Li-ion battery without faffing about. Run times stretch from 2.5 hours at turbo to a wild 300 hours on ultralow. If you’re the type who forgets to plug in the phone at night, no worries — this torch will still be shining. TorchMonster loves that the EX7 is fresh off the press, rocking new tech and proper Kiwi-worthy grunt. It’s one of those torches you show your mates just to see their jaws drop.
