The Nitecore EDC23 is a round-body LED handheld light rated at 2,500 lumens and 25,000 candela. That candela figure works out to an effective positive identification distance of 54 yards and visual impairment out to 7 yards, both calculated from the published beam data. It uses an integrated battery pack. It weighs 3.8 oz in an aluminum body 4.5 inches long. Measured against the 362 handheld lights in the index, it lands on the brighter side for output (2,500 lumens), about in the middle for beam intensity (25,000 candela), on the lighter side for weight (3.8 oz), and on the cheaper side for price ($80). It is one of 75 entries in the index that qualify as a light in the same 2,000 to 3,999 lumen class. The closest listed comparison is Nitecore EDC27 UHi, the same brand's light in the same 2,000 to 3,999 lumen class, priced at $90.
