Pros

  • Nitecore EDC29
  • Nitecore EDC29.
  • I have that same nitecore and one that is slightly less powerful. Pretty sure it contains a very smol nuclear reactor because it puts out some heat.
  • I have the EDC25 and just got the EDC29... The EDC29 has a physical lockout which is a really nice feature when it can blast 6000 lumens out!

Cons

  • My Nitecore EDC 29 held up pretty well in terms of weight and lighting rocks up but the battery life doesn't last awhile especially when using turbo mode a lot.
  • I’ve developed a hate with my Nitecore EDC29. Main power button is exposed and the lockout switch doesn’t do anything to prevent it nor the turbo button from turning on
  • You add in the bad tint, the lack of floodiness on the lower lumen levels, the bad pocket clip placement leaving too much of the light out of the pocket, and the low IP rating, it’s not worth the money.
  • To me this is not very impressive, especially given fugly 6500K R70 0.015 DUV emitters, even though some people may get impressed by a couple of seconds of very high output...
  • I like the slim design for pocket carry and love how bright it is. Don’t love the price but hey. And not being water proof is a bit on the dumb side.

That would be an awful choice. 1st: when the battery dies the light is garbage. With a regular light you can spend $4-$12 for a new battery. 2nd: it’s far too small to make practical use of thousands of lumens. That output lasts for a few seconds.
