The Nitecore EDC37 is known for delivering an impressive 8000-lumen output in an ultra-compact body. But beyond raw power, everyday carry enthusiasts care just as much about how a flashlight feels in the pocket. Let’s break down the weight, dimensions, and real-world carry comfort of the EDC37.
EDC37 Weight and Dimensions
-
Weight: about 85 grams (3 oz) without the pocket clip
-
Length: 109 mm (4.29 in)
-
Width: 30 mm (1.18 in)
At under 100 grams, the EDC37 strikes a sweet spot: light enough for pocket carry, yet solid enough to feel durable in hand. Compared to bulkier tactical lights, it is noticeably slimmer and easier to manage.
Pocket Carry Comfort
The EDC37 features a removable two-way stainless steel pocket clip that allows both deep carry and forward-facing attachment. In daily use:
-
In jeans or cargo pants: The flashlight sits flush and doesn’t create uncomfortable bulk.
-
In lightweight shorts or business pants: The weight is still manageable, but the square edges may be slightly noticeable if you prefer minimal pocket carry.
-
With a belt or pack strap: The clip provides strong retention and avoids wobbling during movement.
Design Details That Help Carry Comfort
-
Flat body profile: Unlike round tube lights, the squared design reduces rolling and makes it more stable when clipped to a pocket.
-
Balanced weight distribution: The built-in 800mAh battery adds weight but keeps the balance centered, preventing a “top-heavy” feel.
-
Compact bezel: The head doesn’t flare out excessively, so it doesn’t snag when drawing from the pocket.
Everyday Carry Verdict
The Nitecore EDC37 proves that even an 8000-lumen powerhouse can remain pocket-friendly. At around 85 grams, it rides comfortably in most pockets without being intrusive. While not as featherlight as keychain lights, the EDC37 delivers a strong balance of power, durability, and comfort, making it an excellent choice for anyone who wants serious output in a truly EDC-sized form.
