Have you ever heard of EC4, a LED flashlight from Nitecore’s Explorer series? This flashlight was released at last year, coming with a new idea for body design and manufacturing. It was the first flashlight which was manufactured by Die-Cast process, allowing higher standards for density of the aluminum body and heat transfer efficiency.
According to Nitecore, the EC4 is 200% the strength of an ordinary flashlight that consists of 3 separate parts. Nitecore EC4 is powered by two 18650 batteries, side by side, electrically connected in series (or 4 CR123A). A power indicator built into the on/off switch indicates remaining battery power (patented). Thanks to the Uni-body aluminum construction, it features advanced temperature regulation (ATR) technology, giving better cooling performance.
The EC4 comes with an emitter, Cree XM-L2 U2. There are 5 brightness levels and 3 special modes available. High efficiency constant current circuit enables maximum runtime of 260 hours. A SMO reflector offers focused beams of 322 meters.
This Cree XM-L2 U2 LED flashlight weighs only 171g without battery. Despite the relatively low dry weight, this lantern really gives the impression of a solid and strong product. It should be noted that this lantern has a small enough size, making it in quite a pocket version.
