One really, really bright compact light.
Super bright, 4 modes, strobe gives people seizures. Nice, heavy build quality, good feel, stays in pocket. Super small in the grand scheme of things. Plenty of battery life and power. NOW, the one downfall is the cumbersome on/off button layout. It's not a simple press to turn on, due to safety, because this thing will literally burn you. The "menu" to unlock it can be frustrating to pass the pattern, in a hurry, and it generally seems the faster you want the light on, the more you fumble with it. Access to the turbo 3000 mode is instant, but on a second recessed switch. Overall this would be 6 stars, but minus one for unlocking fumble. Would definitely recommend though, even with that downfall.

Nice EDC geared towards self-defense
Nitecore are making some nice products these days. I’ve used their P20iUV for the last year and that’s a nice light.This one is the highest-end of their EDC (every day carry) line. It’s packed full of tech and has a digital display. Charged with USB-C.There are standard 4 levels: 15 lumens (55 hour runtime), 65 lumens (14 hour runtime), 200 lumens (4 hour 20 minute runtime), and the very bright 1100 lumens (1 hour 30 minute runtime).Then there are 2 special modes:3100 lumen turbo mode (runtime is only about 10 seconds which is fine because it gets incredibly hot in this mode in just seconds)then there is always the Strobe mode which is always accessible by hard pressing the main button. And it’s an unusual strobe, it changes frequencies at random which is meant to add to the disorienting effect. And the strobe is done at 3100 lumen so it’s incredibly disorienting to the target.The light is a nice size, very sturdy, high build quality, has knurled grips on the sides and a belt clip, and is clearly meant to be a true EDC that could really be useful in an emergency.

Almost perfect flashlight…
This is an excellent EDC flashlight. It’s extremely bright maybe a little overkill on the brightness at highest setting. Only downside to this flashlight is the controls are a bit finicky with the half press/full press but once you get used to how it works it’s pretty easy to get used to it. I really like the status screen as you can see all the necessary information you need such as battery level, time remaining at a specific brightness and what brightness level you are at—even before you power it on. Very well made and very well packaged. Keeps charged for very long time and quick recharge.

Almost perfect EDC light
Absolutely fantastic light that's well worth your money. I've had this for quite some time and it's stood up to lots of abuse from me dropping it. The balance between throw and flood is fantastic and I've used it to go hiking in pitch black forests. I really like the OLED display with battery life. My only gripe is that the lockout mechanic for the light is convoluted; however they have improved this design in their newer models. I take it almost everywhere with me since it fits in the pocket quite well.

Very satisfied
This is a great light, a little larger than I had anticipated, but it fits comfortably in my pocket. It provides an ample amount of light, and is very versatile. The battery lasts for quite a while, depending on your settings.This is an update on my review. The charging circuit of the light has seemed to fail. Once I verified, I purchase the light from a valid source I was sent a repair number to ship the way back. I will let you know how this turned out.

Good But Not Great
This review is for the Nitecore EDC27.(Read all the way through and see photos)The light is bright as people have commented in their reviews but it's only super bright in Turbo mode for 8 seconds. There is digital timer bar that appears on the screen and drains for 8 seconds until it runs out and then shuts it back down to the programmed light setting.There are two separate buttons that activate different light settings on the Nitecore. The first button, which is about 1/8th of an inch tall, is the on and off button and the lumens selecter. A full click of the button turns the light on and off. A half click of the button selects 4 different lumen settings. They are, 15, 65, 200 and 1000 lumens and each is displayed on the 1/4" x 1/2" led screen. The lumen settings do not appear to be accurate but are adequate to choose a light output setting. The same button also digitally locks the buttons so it's not activated in your pocket.To unlock, you depress the the button fully and quickly 3 times and then hold it until a unlock bar appears on the screen. Keep the button depressed until the unlock bar drains and the light comes on in the last preset mode. To re-lock the light, click the button 3 times quickly and hold it until you see a padlock appear on the display screen. There are two padlocks that will appear in succession. The first padlock has a number one on it and the second padlock has a number 2 on it. If you only want to lock the first button, rekease the button after the first padlock appears. If you want to lock both buttons, release after the second padlock appears. It definitely takes some practice to get the timing of the buttons down as it does to get the half clicking down as well.The second button is larger than the first but it's flush with the body of the flashlight so you can leave it on without it being activated in your pocket. Its made so you can use the light quickly without unlocking it.The second button is a two function button. Half press is 3000 lumens and full press is a super fast, and ultra bright, strobe. Like the first button, it takes some practice to get used to be able to use it properly.Both of the buttons have a soft click when you hit the half point where the separate functions are activated.As other reviewers have stated, the button functions are irritating. But I believe with practice it gets easier to manipulate them.This is a techy kind of light for us guys who like and collect flashlights. I do not recommend this for someone who just needs a flashlight. It's super bright and it's fun.At first I didn't like the light but after a few days it grew on me.The only real complaint, and it's kind of a big one, is the clear plastic that covers the display is soft and it dimpled when I had it clipped on my pocket next to my pocket knife. I'm assuming it pressed against my knife frame and damaged the display of the flashlight. For a hundred bucks I think it should have a better protector for the display. But it did work, the display is not damaged and the damage to the plastic does not obstruct the view of the display. I recommend not carrying the flashlight where the display will have any pressure against it with hard objects.The light is smaller than it appears on in the photos on Amazon. The dimensions are 5 3/8" long by 1 3/16" wide and it's 7/8" thick at the widest point. It's thinner towards the tip where the light emits.It's weighty for its size. It's 4.4 ounces which is over a quarter pound.Knowing what I know now, would I buy the light again? Maybe. I don't like that the display protector got damaged on the 3rd day I owned it just from carrying it in my pocket. Hopefully they will fix the problem if they have successive models.Is it worth a hundred bucks, probably not. They could probably sell it for sixty.I'm only giving it 3 stars because of the damage. I would give it 4 stars without damage.I hope this helps anyone thinking about making a purchase.
