Nitecore EDC31
The Nitecore EDC31 is a round-body LED handheld light rated at 3,500 lumens and 42,000 candela. That candela figure works out to an effective positive identification distance of 70 yards and visual impairment out to 10 yards, both calculated from the published beam data. It uses an integrated battery pack. It weighs 6 oz in an aluminum body 4.6 inches long. Measured against the 362 handheld lights in the index, it lands in the brightest quarter for output (3,500 lumens), about in the middle for beam intensity (42,000 candela), on the heavier side for weight (6 oz), and about in the middle for price ($120). 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 P30i, the same brand's light in the same 2,000 to 3,999 lumen class, priced at $120.
