For security, first response and serious everyday carry: 8,000 lumens of wide flood and a 420 m throw, with an OLED screen that shows exactly how much runtime you have left.
Two LEDs, two jobs: a wall of light or real reach.
Lumin Shield drives both NiteLab UHi 20 MAX LEDs to 8,000 lumens, lighting a whole yard, room or treeline at once. Switch to Search and the beam concentrates into a 420-metre throw at 44,010 candela to pick out a figure or a sign at distance.
Step down to 1,500-lumen High for everyday tasks, or a 100-lumen Low that reads a map and still runs for 30 hours, so one light covers the close work and the far look.
A display that tells you exactly where you stand.
The multifunctional OLED screen reads out the current brightness level and battery percentage, the remaining runtime at that level, and charging progress the moment you plug in, plus lockout status. No more guessing whether you have ten minutes or ten hours before a shift or a search.
It turns the EDC37 from a light you hope will last into one you know will, which is exactly what a duty or emergency light should do.
Set the controls to your own sequence, and lock them when you carry.
The dual-stage tactical buttons are fully programmable, so a half-press and a full-press reach the modes you actually use, whether that is straight to Turbo or starting on Low. You set it once and it works the way you do.
Rapid Lock then disables the buttons the moment you want it to, so 8,000 lumens never fires by accident in a pocket, a bag or on a belt, where a stray press means a burn risk and a flat battery by morning.
Preset the brightness before you switch on.
Half-press the tail button to set the brightness level before the light is even on, so it comes up at exactly the output the moment calls for. A low glow to check a map without the glare, or full power the instant a search starts, with no scrolling through modes to get there.
8,000mAh built in, for runtime an EDC light rarely matches.
The built-in 8,000mAh cell feeds the twin LEDs and still leaves 30 hours on Low or 190 hours on Ultralow between charges. Everything is sealed in the body, so there are no spare cells to source and nothing to swap in the field.
That is the headroom a duty or emergency light needs: high output when it counts, and days of low-level runtime when you just need to see.
USB-C that refills it in about two hours.
The 18W USB-C port supports PD and QC fast charging, taking the battery from flat to full in roughly two hours from a wall plug, a laptop or a power bank. The same port tops it up anywhere a phone charges.
A sealed protection cover keeps water, dust and knocks out of the port between charges, so the only opening in the body stays protected.
Ceramic tips that break glass when it matters.
High-hardness silicon-nitride ceramic tips ring the bezel, hard enough to shatter a vehicle or building window for a rescue or an escape. They are smooth and scratch-resistant, so the light still carries comfortably in a pocket or bag.
The tips are detachable too, unscrewing with the included tool if you would rather run a lower-profile bezel for everyday carry.
Built from steel, carbon fibre and alloy.
Stainless-steel side shells, a carbon-fibre composite frame and an aluminium-alloy heat sink lock together into a body rated IP54 and to a 2-metre drop, so dust, rain and knocks do not stop it on duty or on the trail.
Yet at 108mm long and 199g, the flat profile and pocket clip carry like a normal EDC light rather than a full-size searchlight, riding in a pocket, a plate carrier or a kit bag until you need it.
WHY THE EDC37 OVER AN ORDINARY HIGH-OUTPUT LIGHT
Flood and throw in one
An 8,000-lumen flood and a 420m search beam from twin LEDs, where most lights give you one or the other.
You know your runtime
The OLED display shows output and remaining power, so you are not caught short mid-task. Most lights leave you guessing.
Ready for a rescue
Detachable ceramic glass-breaker tips turn it into an escape tool, not just a light, when a window is in the way.
Pocketable power
199g and 108mm with a clip, so searchlight output carries like an everyday light rather than a duty-belt brick.
WHO CARRIES THE EDC37
Security & Duty
8,000-lumen flood for a yard or stairwell and a 420m search beam for perimeter scans and identification.
First Response
Instant high output, a programmable button, a runtime display and ceramic tips to break a window in a rescue.
Search & Outdoors
A 420m throw cuts across a field or trail, and 30 hours on Low keeps a long night or a long hike covered.
Everyday Carry
Rapid Lock keeps it from firing in a pocket and a 15-lumen Ultralow handles everyday tasks, so it carries safely and is not just an 8,000-lumen blaster.

*Maximum output is a burst
Lumin Shield, Search and Strobe are high-output modes; Advanced Temperature Regulation steps output down as the head warms to protect the LEDs. High at 1,500 lumens is the level for sustained work. Figures are ANSI/PLATO FL1 rated.
No light this size can. The 8,000-lumen Lumin Shield and 3,000-lumen Search are high-output bursts, and Advanced Temperature Regulation steps output down as the head warms to protect the LEDs and keep the body comfortable to hold. For sustained work, High runs 1,500 lumens for about 7.5 hours.
Is the battery replaceable, and how do I charge it?
The 8,000mAh battery is built in and recharges through the USB-C port, reaching full in about two hours with an 18W PD or QC charger. There are no cells to swap.
How waterproof is it?
The EDC37 is rated IP54, so it shrugs off dust, splashes and rain. It is not sealed for submersion, so avoid dunking it underwater.

I saw sunlight. As I picked up the package from the post office. Took it to my car opened it immediately. Nicely designed very out of traditional round shape. Night time came…. Took the EDC37 for a night test. And……. BINGO!!!! The sun just rises a good 8000 lumen of pure brightness. With a shallow fog (due to humidity) EDC37s beam looks like a light saber.
Great quality flashlight. Solid build. Weighty but small size. Feels good in hand. Nice flexible settings. Very good buttons. The 1500 lumens is about the max brightness I need, but for others and other purposes, I can see the 3k and 8k coming in handy. The lock out is a great feature.Bought a few months back on Uncrate for $111.
Very pricey for my normal $40 budget. I just was curious to see if it's worth the big $$$ and if you can get this for closer to $100 would be better. But this is the best flashlight I've ever own! It does get really hot if you push it to the max for to long. But unless lighting technology changes that's fix isn't going to happen. And I had to remove the clip on the back. That should not be on it I think and should be an addition you can add if you want after removing the clip it has a bump on the back for it but you can't remove that bump unfortunately so it's not smooth flat on both sides, unfortunately, as seen in picture. But overall I give it 5 stars. Price for value I givee it a 3 stars at $140 4 star at $100 and 5 stars at $80 if The designers are reading this lol 😉
Love it. You can absolutely see and feel the quality of this product. I don't even want to call it a flashlight because calling it that would underestimate what it is and can do.
Best EDC on the market for price and power. I've owned alot of streamlight flash lights, and this by far the brightest EDC flash light for its size! The multiple intensity settings make sure you have the right level for every situation. The battery life is insane. I carry it daily and charge it every other month.
This lights is tough, bright, and worth every penny!I’m not usually one to leave reviews, but this light absolutely deserves it.This thing is tough.I dropped it in my gravel driveway without realizing it, and then ran over it with my one-ton service truck pulling a gooseneck equipment trailer.I figured it was done for—but it barely even scratched and still works perfectly.Battery life is excellent, and the brightness you get out of such a small light is seriously impressive.I’ve been very impressed with Nitecore products, and this one just proves it again.If you’re hesitant because of the price, don’t be. Just buy it you’ll be glad you did.It’s worth every penny!
I wanted a stronger light with a battery that would last for a good chunk of time. This thing does that. Very bright on overdrive settings, albeit short use time. And battery is amazing at regular brightness settings. Sort of bulky but obviously since its a bigger battery.
I always wanted to get a flash light than does it all but I tough don’t exist till I came across to this light, it have lots of settings from low all the way to high lummens, very handy all the settings very simple to toggle trough it worth every penny, 110% recommend it.
Quality:Good quality product Performance:super bright Suitability:Good performents on dark areas Good received in good working conditions.Thanks sellers.
The EDC37 is amazing. Easy to use UI and fits in your hand well. The buttons are well placed and easier reach than my EDC33. It gets very hot if you use it at 8000 but it’s regulated so it won’t hurt the light.
All around great light
Having upgraded my nite core SRT9 after many years of use. It has served me very well. Decided to upgrade to EDC37 after reviewing for awhile.
To me it is a huge jump from not knowing how much battery is left to a display to show the level. USB C charging and the customised button for different scenarios. More important was the light weight of EDC and packing a punch of lumens to illuminate the environment when required.
While the SRT9 is still working, will keep it as backup.
Thank you for another great product.
Performance:good Quality:good Suitability:cannot hold 8k lumen long Great product. Downside is heavy, bulky and cannot hold 8k lumens for more than 5 seconds. Prolong usage only 1500 lumens. Battery life excellent. 1 week charge one time for average 2hours a day usage
Two modes: Insane OP and Excellent EDC. As a mild mannered everyday 1500 lumen high capacity light, its already excellent. Add the OverPowered 8k and 3k lumen mode and this flashlight has superpowers.
Love everything about this flashlight. From the ergonomics to easy function use. Screen display is crisp. Love that is can choose 15, 100, 400 or 1500 lumens as a preset before powering on. Spot light and flood light are amazing. The only "issue" im coming across is the lockout switch will flip on me on the occasion while in my pocket. Other than that amazing tool andhighly recommend.
Quality, Well-Built & Design. The large steel clip is ideal. Easily portable for everyday use. I also find the lever to quickly activate the electronic lock an ideal feature. I did find the Oled display screen somewhat sensitive. The screen cracked when it was accidentally dropped on carpet flooring at home.
Overall, an outstanding flashlight.
I love this light, the deep pocket clip is nice. The lockout is where you really love. The metal construction is amazing. Is shorter than a traditional a little wider so it takes up most of the space in one pocket so I could put my knife in the other, but other than that, I reallylove the digit love the digital output reading . It’s a great light all around . I’ll buy another but thinking about getting the slimmer one.
I was in the market for a handheld lighting solution and came across the EDC37 by Nitecore Singapore and the performance on this tiny device is unreal.
- patented 18 high performance Nitelab UHi 20 MAX micro led that produces up to 8000 lumens of brightness and gets up to 420m range. To put it in perspective a cars high beam generally goes up to 2000 lumens. And it’s remarkably smaller in footprint than a smartphone.
- Reaches up to 420m in range. The patented Nitelab UHi 20 MAX micro led directs the light in a concentrated laser type
- made from a stainless steel shell with carbon fibre composite and aluminium heat sink, it feels solid, premium and built to last with a well engineered cooling system. Nitecore’s attention to detail in build quality for this handheld is remarkable.
This EDC 37 flashlight is impressive. It's a light output I haven't seen in any other EDC product. One charge gives me many hours of light. The display tells me everything I need to know. I also love the on/off switch. I highly recommend it.
Nitecore edc 37. Best flashlight in my collection way better then my old olight flashlight plus I have 5 nitecore flashlight including 2 nitecore tm20k, 1 nitecore 29 ,1 nitecore edcedc 37 and one nitecore i forgot the name
