Introducing the EDC29—An Ultra Slim High Performance EDC Flashlight
September 24th 2024
As the latest addition to NITECORE's EDC Series, the EDC29 LUMINBLADE is an ultra-thin, high-performance flashlight designed for everyday carry and tactical applications. Crafted to be the most powerful ultra slim tactical flashlight to date, it boasts an impressive 6,500 lumens of brightness and a beam distance of 400 meters, all packed into a sleek design that fits comfortably in your hand.
Featuring a slim design
with the powerhouse performance of the TM (Tiny Monster) Series, the EDC29
redefines what a compact flashlight can achieve. Built with a dual LED system
(2 x UHi 20 MAX LEDs) with 18 cores, it delivers unrivaled brightness and
extraordinary long-range capabilities in an ultra-thin design, outperforming
bulkier mid-sized flashlights and setting a new standard in terms of
performance.
The integrated light
control technology provides an intuitive user experience. With three versatile
modes—LUMIN SHIELD™, Second-Gen STROBE READY™, and 400-Meter Tactical Search
Mode—users can quickly adapt to various scenarios. The LUMIN SHIELD™ creates a 6500-lumen
light for immediate, wide-area protection that shields you from threats and
illuminates the surroundings without causing glare. The STROBE mode offers randomly
changing frequencies between 16 Hz and 20 Hz and causes stronger dizzying
effects due to the inadaptability of the naked eyes. Under tactical SEARCH mode,
the two primary LED cores can be activated alone to punch out a stunning
3000-lumen beam and generate 40,230cd, rivaling tactical compact flashlights in
terms of throw.
Featuring dual two-stage
tactical tail switches, the EDC29 offers precise control over On, Off, and Brightness
Level Adjustment with half or full presses. The customizable tactical button
allows users to tailor functions to their needs—half press for SEARCH and full
press for LUMIN SHIELD™ or STROBE—enabling rapid responses in critical
situations. The popular Rapid Lock™ provides quick and easy locking; a simple
slide lets you fully lock, half-lock, or unlock the flashlight for immediate response,
especially in critical situations.
The EDC29 features a rugged
body with a composite, armor-inspired anti-slip design. Stainless steel shells
at the front and rear are seamlessly integrated with a carbon fiber composite
frame, creating a unique armor-like texture that provides a secure and
comfortable grip—whether you're using it barehanded or with gloves. The entire
assembly is reinforced by four sets of connector bolts, ensuring a durable and
robust build. Despite its sturdy construction, the EDC29 is lightweight at only
160 grams (5.64 oz), without sacrificing strength. It's capable of withstanding
heavy pressure, twisting, and bending.
Powered by a built-in
2,500mAh Li-ion battery, the EDC29 achieves up to 61 hours of runtime. This
marks a 47% increase in capacity compared to the previous EDC27 UHi, reducing
the need for frequent recharges.
An OLED display provides
real-time information on brightness level, battery voltage, remaining power,
and more. In addition, the flashlight includes two lock modes, level preset function,
and a sensor protection function. It is waterproof according to IP54 standards
and can withstand drops from a height of 1 meter, ensuring reliability in
various environments.
