The genius of EDC items is that they inherently blend mobility and versatility. While there are virtually limitless options of gear you can include in your EDC rotation, one of the most important items is also one of the most overlooked: the flashlight. Sure, every smartphone has one right now, but they only average a flimsy five to eight lumens, which will hardly do you any good in an emergency. That’s why we recommend possessing a legitimate flashlight, and as far as flashlights are concerned, they don’t get a lot better than Nitecore’s.
While the Chinese standout has a stellar lineup of luminous devices, its most recent release, the TINI2 Ti, might be its most versatile yet. This little light is built like a tank and packs a blinding punch. It boasts a titanium alloy construction that’s hypoallergenic, ultra-lightweight, durable, and corrosion-resistant. Clocking in at a lean 21.5 grams and sporting a compact 1.83″x 0.98″ x 0.49″ build, this phenomenal flashlight is just slightly bigger than your standard SD card.
Where the TINI2 Ti really shines, however, is in its magnificent power output and interface. While smaller than a credit card, this pint-sized powerhouse shines with a whopping 500 lumens at its maximum output. This massive output is a 32% increase from Nitecore’s previous generation and around 100x the output of the standard iPhone flashlight. What’s more, the TINI2 Ti features a user-friendly OLED display that allows you to monitor the volt and battery level, brightness level, user mode, and remaining runtime of the TINI2 Ti.
To top things off, the TINI2 Ti sports a fast-charging USB-C port for enhanced versatility, as well as two lockout modes to ensure the TINI2 Ti doesn’t shine when it’s in a bag without you knowing. The TINI2 Ti has a maximum battery life of 60 hours, and you can contact Nitecore on its website for pricing information.
