No law states that a flashlight has to be cylindrical. With LEDs and lithium-ion batteries, form factors are unlimited — including shapes that fit better in pockets. The Nitecore EDC27 features a slim, flat body that doesn’t poke, prod, or snag when crouching or sitting, along with a clip for securing it outside a pack or pocket. The power switch has a lockout to prevent accidental activation while carrying, and the turbo/strobe switch is recessed for the same reason. An OLED displays voltage, remaining charge, and the output level of the 3,000 lumens beam with a throw of over 720 feet.
