Summary
For months, there have been hints of a new flashlight from Nitecore, but specific details have been kept top secret. That's now changed, as the new model has been officially announced: Here is the new Nitecore EDC37.
Was it worth the wait? Absolutely! The EDC37 combines many of the best features from previous models to make it Nitecore's new flagship of the EDC series.
The two "UHi 20 MAX" LEDs – already known from the EDC29 – now deliver up to 8000 lumens. Of course, this high brightness in such a compact flashlight can't be sustained for long. The heat sink is protected from direct contact, making handling more comfortable. One of the two dual-stage buttons can be programmed at both stages, and the "Rapid Lock" switch allows for quick and easy lockout at any time. It would be nice to have the option to freely choose between a wide and narrow beam at every brightness level. The built-in 8000 mAh battery offers long runtime, though its non-replaceable nature may be seen as a downside.
All in all, the Nitecore EDC37 is an impressive flashlight.

Lol, 10 seconds, talk about lumenitis, but that's a lot of lumens for a fairly small light. Does it appear to have 2x 21700 inside? Can it operate as a USB power bank? Any idea of the price? Thanks.
