Match your light to the work. Like choosing between bedroom lighting and office lighting.
The first pocket work light that gives you three different lighting qualities for different tasks.
- 1,600 lumens across three color temperatures (CRI up to 97)
- Neutral white 4,500K for accurate colors in focused work
- Warm light 3,000K for comfortable extended-use sessions
- Cool white 6,500K for maximum throw and area coverage
- Rotating head angles the beam for hands-free work while walking
- Built-in 1,100mAh battery charges in 1h 20min via USB-C
- Three-position slide switch operates with gloves on
- Stainless steel body with PVD coating for daily carry durability
- 114g weight - fits in shirt pockets, easy to carry multiples
Think about interior design. You wouldn't light a bedroom the same way you light an office.
Different spaces need different lighting. Same principle here. The EDC09's MCT LED system gives you three distinct lighting qualities, each optimized for specific work.
NEUTRAL WHITE (4,500K CRI 83) - TASK LIGHTING
This is your main work mode. High-end restaurants, professional kitchens, modern workshops all use 4,000K-4,500K where focus and color accuracy matter. At 1,450 lumens, wire colors look right, diagram text stays crisp, surface defects become visible. You'll spend 80% of your time here.
WARM LIGHT (3,000K CRI 97) - AMBIENT LIGHTING
Hotel lobbies and bedrooms use 2,700K-3,000K because warm light reduces eye strain during extended use. Four hours into a panel installation, switch from harsh neutral to comfortable warm. At CRI 97, colors still read accurately while the tone eases fatigue. Tail stand this on a workbench for ambient lighting that doesn't wear you down.
COOL WHITE (6,500K CRI 73) - UTILITY LIGHTING
Hospitals and warehouses use 5,000K-6,500K for maximum visibility. At 1,600 lumens reaching 153 meters, this is pure performance for lighting large spaces or searching at distance. You sacrifice some color accuracy for maximum throw.
THAT EXTRA 12 DEGREES CHANGES EVERYTHING
Clip this to your chest vest and walk through a construction site. Standard 90-degree lights shoot straight ahead - you're lighting the horizon, not your feet. The EDC09 rotates to 102 degrees, angling down to actually show you where you're stepping. Hands stay free, path stays lit.
RUNS FROM EXTERNAL POWER FOR ALL-SHIFT RUNTIME
Cable from your pocket power bank to the EDC09, light operates normally while charging. For 12-hour shifts, the Nitecore NB AIR (3,300mAh) triples your runtime. The NB PLUS (5,600mAh) gives you five times the built-in capacity.
SMALL ENOUGH TO CARRY SEVERAL UNITS
At 114g, professionals often run two or three EDC09s. One on your chest in neutral white for general work, another on your cap in warm for detail tasks, third in your pocket as backup. Different mounting positions, different lighting qualities, all working together.
Built for How You Actually Work
Dual TIR Optical Lenses Create Even Coverage
Smooth, uniform flood beam with consistent brightness edge to edge. At typical work distances of 3-15 meters, you get wall-to-wall illumination without harsh center hotspots or dark rings.
The stainless steel body with PVD coating handles daily carry abuse. IPX6 waterproofing survives rain and splashes. 2-meter impact resistance means drops on concrete don't end your shift.
SCREWED-IN CLIP HOLDS WHEREVER YOU MOUNT IT
The two-way stainless steel clip is thick, spring-loaded, and actually screwed into the body - not some pressed clip that breaks after a month. Clip it to shirt pockets, baseball caps, hard hats, belts, vests, backpack straps, tool pouches. It holds firmly but releases smoothly when you need the light.
MAGNETIC BASE STICKS TO YOUR WORK SURFACE
Strong enough to hold vertically on metal surfaces. Stick it to junction boxes while working panels, car hoods during engine repairs, metal beams in HVAC work, toolbox sides for bench lighting. The tail stand works on flat non-magnetic surfaces.
WARNING FLASH WITH DIFFUSER FOR ROADSIDE EMERGENCIES
Snap the included diffuser over the head and activate warning flash - you get 360-degree visibility at 200 lumens. Broken down roadside? Tail stand it on your hood and it becomes a beacon visible from all directions. Way more effective than a focused beam pointing one way.
SPECIFIC SCENARIOS WHERE THE EDC09 EXCELS
Electricians
Wire identification in metal junction boxes - magnetic base holds the light while both hands work the connections. Neutral white CRI 83 shows accurate wire colors. Small enough to carry three units for different panel locations.
Mechanics
Under-hood repairs where you're leaning over the engine bay for an hour. Start with neutral white for diagnosis, switch to warm for extended work sessions to reduce eye strain. Hands-free mounting while you work connections.
Security
Eight-hour overnight patrols using 1-lumen ultralow mode that runs 250 hours. Clip carry stays concealed under uniform. Run a cable from pocket power bank for continuous all-shift operation without recharging.
Home & Emergency
From crawlspace plumbing repairs to roadside tire changes at night. Warning flash with diffuser creates 360° visibility for breakdowns. Tail stand converts it to area lighting during power outages.
