Nitecore EDC27 Flat Flashlight with 3000 Lumens 

The only thing I like about the Arkfield is the laser pointer

@@eriklambert3809 copy that I never thought it looked that cool, I have the EDC27 and the standard Stilletto

@austinbratton9973 the laser is nice because I can point out things in the distance out on the farm. Or maybe point things out to others with you on the street and do both functions at once with one hand. The thing I hate about these is they have tons of lumens, but not enough throw to me.

You watch they will come out with a tactical version of the ARKFIELD my friend

Indeed youre right

i dont see the appeal, i just got the sofirn IF23, so many more features for 1/3 the price...

@@neoaliphant the design of the if23 is more reminiscent of the p18, rather than the edc27, and to be honest the sofim looks kinda cheap, but then again I have never owned one, so I might be wrong... but like you said, I don't see the appeal

@@frank-castle ive got the if23, compared to p18, if23 has 2x the lumens, side floodlight, full rgb of sifferent colours sidelight, coloured flashing, powerbank functionality, for 1/3 the price.....

@@neoaliphant the power bank functionality looks cool on paper but I feel like it would be counter-productive, expecially because double the lumens may potentially mean half battery life... and the full rgb colors I don't really care for. Like I said I never owned one (on the contrary I own 4 different nitecore flashlights and none of them failed me after years/months of daily use) if I happen to get ahold of one I can make a more informed opinion for sure, but for now it looks more like a toy than something that I could rely on at work or in an emergency.

@@frank-castle ive used the 4000 lumens a few times as a spotlight across a field, but normally i use it on the lower setting, so its good to have the option, but jave a max of 4000 doesnt reduce life. the floodlight on side however does increase life as its a more efficient worklight, and ive used it quite a bit for that, the coloured rgb side lights is a bit of a gimick, but its cool and means i have anotehr emergency flasher for the car, magnetoc endcap, justs stick on car roof. i can appreciate nitecore has better build quality, im very happy with leatherman and wouldnt go for anything less like a gerber or swisstech, but i had loads of maglites fail on me low buoild quality, sofirn feels premium, been using for over a month, as does the klarus g15 ive had before, ive heard loads of people have issues with olight, but that they heavily promote to reviewers....

This isn't going roll away!

If you’re worried about that you have to ability to “lock” the light so that the boutons won’t do anything unless you “unlock” it.

I made this same comment abut 8 months ago then figured out it can be locked.

You can probably replace it with a tiny screwdriver and some determination, but who knows... the tm12k looked like you could back when I had it.

@@mr.frandy7692Well problem is probably not going to be how to open it but more like where to get new right size battery for it.

I made this same comment abut 8 months ago then figured out it can be locked.

@@drillkjh how long does it take to cool down after use

Why didn't you just lock the flashlight........ you know you can do that right. Just hold the power button.

@@hasanexm I did not know that. I figured it out though thanks, I carry it everyday now.

No

Both are good

Whats your opinion on this light now that you have had it for a while?

@chriscassel1128 The only downside is the menu is still confusing. I have another Nitecore light that I carry every day that is helping to resolve the issue.

@@chetfriday7636 which nitecore is that?

Not necessarily. The CE can also be a european proof mark, which existed way before the chinese came up with their version of CE to mimick it. Straight Up chinese fraud.

That Surefire isn't even waterproof at over double the price...Who the hell makes a modern flashlight that isn't waterproof 🤷

CE is the European Health and Safety mark, meaning the product has met EU standards

"CE" stands for "conformité européenne", meaning it's been certified for trade in the European Economic Area.

The Arkfield bows down to the EDC27 😂😂😂
