Take a spare!

Previous review - "Beast" - is a great description! It was an amazing product in a tiny package while it worked. Unfortunately, mine just stopped working, and it hasn't seen that much run time since I bought it. Luckily I wasn't in the field and depending on it as my only light source. We'll see how Nitecore's warranty service works out!

Big light in a small package.

I was looking for a small flashlight for work.  I've always been impressed with Nitecore flashlights but was pleasantly surprised at the power and ease of used of the tiny flashlight.  I can use it for reading or seeing addresses from the street.

What a flashlight!

I’ve now had this flashlight for about a year and a half, One of the best flashlights I’ve ever had. The portability makes it ideal for taking it in any kind of situation, extremely small and lightweight, rugged and waterproof  makes it ideal for camping.  I know what you’re thinking... you’ve been searching a lot of information about this product, trust me.... you need to get this.

Easy switch

Love the lite but the switch turns on too easily.  Burnt my butt!  Put it on my belt loop, same thing!  Came on without my permission! Make the clip a bit longer and it could guard against this.

NO BATTERY?

Hi, I have one of these lights and use it daily on the job...I love it! I thought a battery came with the light? When reading the box it says 1 CR123 battery which made me think again that it was included. I remember now that when I was ordering them I wanted to get an extra battery for each but there was no way to order an extta one. If I have a complaint, thats it. Thank you.

i use it daily

everything is great except two things...I didn't receive the clip and you can accidently turn it on, if it was last set on high and it gets turned on while in your pocket, YEOW....or worse, in a confined space the heat could generate a fire.

Great flashlight.  Ive purchased several Nitecore flashlights and this one did not disappoint.   Lots of features so read the instructions so you know how to properly use the light and get to the mode you want

EC11

I'm really liking this flashlight, I have the MH20GT,But it's a little big for an everyday carry, kind of bulges out from the pocket a little, but this little gem, fits nicely without the bulging.  It's just a better fit in the warm weather when you're not using a jacket and you have to carry the flashlight in your pants pocket. The light itself is kind of floody not a thrower,  but it works great for 95% of what you need a flashlight for. only thing I would add is the USB charging port, also a little magnetic tail cap would be nice. But as far as the flashlight itself, I love it. I would recommend it for someone looking for an everyday carry especially if it's for your pants pocket. You will be impressed with the amount of light this tiny thing puts out!! also the pocket clip works great on a baseball cap brim, when you need your hands-free. the mh20gt was a little heavy to use that way. You could, but the weight of it would pull down  the cap ,with the EC 11 it doesn't.

Powerhouse little light!

This little flashlight takes it to the next level. I have impressed everyone that I have showed this light to. It just lights up everything in your path at an impressive distance. I use the red light to check on my 7 year old daughter at night without bothering her. The lock out mode is nice but don't leave it that way for very long. I have killed to batteries already by forgetting. The flashlight is slightly larger then my thumb and weighs next to nothing which is great for EDC. I would highly recommend this light if you are concerned with weight and want really nice lighting ability. I own several Nitecore flashlights and getting ready to add the TM03 to the family.

Great

Probably the best light ever made! Wow

Great Light!

By John R.

This little guy is a beast! Solid, compact and well made. The illumination is spectacular for such a diminutive flashlight!  Well done!

The latest innovation from Nitecore, the EC11 destroyed conventional thinking and delivers an incredible 900 lumens with a CR123A size IMR18350 rechargeable battery. Unbelievably compact, the weight of light is only 1.6 oz! EC11 can still reaches up to 430 lumens when powered by one CR123 or RCR123A battery. The EC11 is not only stunningly bright but also easy to use and maintain.

It comes with convenient side mode switch and power button so that you can readily access the different outputs and modes. Combining its performance, compact size, ease of use and support of a common CR123 battery, EC11 is the best every day carry high performance flashlight you can find on this petite size. You will be amazed at how excellently this Mini EC11 performs whenever and wherever you need it.
