Nitecore EDC17
The Nitecore EDC17 is a flat-body LED handheld light rated at 1,300 lumens and 16,000 candela, with White and UV output. That candela figure works out to an effective positive identification distance of 43 yards and visual impairment out to 6 yards, both calculated from the published beam data. It uses an integrated battery pack. It weighs 3.4 oz in an aluminum body 4.2 inches long. An integrated green laser is fitted. Measured against the 362 handheld lights in the index, it lands about in the middle for output (1,300 lumens), on the less intense side for beam intensity (16,000 candela), in the lightest quarter for weight (3.4 oz), and in the least expensive quarter for price ($70). It is one of 127 entries in the index that qualify as a light in the same 1,000 to 1,999 lumen class. The closest listed comparison is Nitecore P10 V2, the same brand's light in the same 1,000 to 1,999 lumen class, priced at $70.
