Nitecore EDC15 EDC Flashlight
1'200 lumens of white light plus 1'350 mW UV – 16 mm slim, 85 g light
Carrying a bright everyday light and a separate UV torch for leak detection or checking documents means two tools in your pocket. The Nitecore EDC15 EDC flashlight puts both into one slim stainless steel body: slide forward for light, press the M button to switch between white and UV.

The Nitecore EDC15 EDC flashlight is a flat everyday-carry light with two light sources: white light with up to 1'200 lumens and a 208 m throw for work, home and travel, plus UV light with up to 1'350 mW for maintenance, leak detection and checking fluorescent features. It measures 111 × 28 × 16 mm, weighs 85 g including the built-in battery and rides deep in your pocket on its stainless steel clip. Nitecore calls it a «Dual Light Sources Ultra Slim EDC Flashlight». You will find the other models of the range among our EDC flashlights.
Second light source · UV 365–375 nm
Up to 1'350 mW of UV – revealing what white light cannot show
Next to the white LED, the EDC15 carries a UV light source with a wavelength of 365 to 375 nm. The slide switch selects three power levels: 220 mW (approx. 11 h), 650 mW (approx. 3 h) and 1'350 mW (approx. 2 h). Nitecore lists maintenance and leak detection with fluorescent additives, verifying security features on banknotes, ID cards and documents, finding fluorescent labels and markings, hygiene checks and regularly looking over the skin and coat of pets. Under IEC 62471, the UV light is classified as Risk Group 1 (low risk).
Four white light levels plus STROBE – from a gentle glow to 208 m of reach
The white beam comes from a NiteLab UHi 25 LED behind a precision metal orange-peel reflector that balances throw and a wide spill. HIGH delivers 1'200 lumens and 10'886 cd for 208 m, MID 400 lumens for 120 m, and LOW 50 lumens for around 11 h. ULTRALOW at 1 lumen runs for up to 200 h – perfect close up without spoiling your night vision. A 1'200-lumen STROBE that, according to Nitecore, varies randomly between 16 and 20 Hz is there for signalling and emergencies. A constant current circuit keeps the output stable, while Advanced Temperature Regulation (ATR) steps the output down during long runs on high to prevent overheating.
Slide to light, press to switch – simple one-handed control
Push the slide switch towards the head and the Nitecore EDC15 turns on; keep sliding to change the level, and slide it all the way back to switch off. With the light on, a short press of the M button toggles between white and UV light, and the flashlight remembers the last light source used. From off, press and hold the M button for momentary UV, or hold it while sliding the switch forward to start ULTRALOW. A long press in white light activates STROBE; a short press returns to the previous level.
Built-in battery with USB-C – charge it like your phone and check the level at a glance
The integrated 1'050 mAh Li-ion battery charges through the USB-C port from a wall adapter, a power bank or any other USB charging device. With a 5 V / 2 A adapter it is full in about 1 h 30 min, and you can keep using the light while it charges. Four green indicators show the remaining power when you switch on or press the M button; below 10 %, one indicator flashes. Thanks to APC technology with an ultralow standby drain, a fully charged battery lasts about 12 months in standby, according to Nitecore.
16 mm slim, stainless steel with PVD – made for pockets and tough days
The EDC15 housing is made of high-strength stainless steel with a PVD coating that Nitecore describes as scratch and wear resistant. At 16 mm thick (without clip) and 85 g, it hardly adds bulk, and the stainless steel clip keeps it low in a trouser pocket, on a belt or on a backpack strap. Rated IPX7 for water resistance and impact resistant to 2 m, the Nitecore EDC15 EDC flashlight is ready for the workshop, the garage or the trail.
What the EDC15 does – and what it does not
The EDC15 pairs white light with UV light; it has no laser. If you also want a green laser, Nitecore offers the EDC17 with three light sources, 1'500 lumens and 230 m. The battery is built in and is charged via USB-C rather than swapped. The box contains a USB-C charging cable and a lanyard, and the stainless steel clip is fitted to the light; a USB power adapter is not included. For long or intensive UV work, Nitecore recommends UV-blocking safety glasses and gloves, which are not included either. Browse more models for everyday and outdoor use in our flashlight shop.
