Body, materials, weight, colors

The length of a flashlight can affect how it feels in your hand and how you can grip and maneuver it. The EDC Copper flashlight is available in gray.

System, LED, lens, reflector

The emitter of EDC Copper manufactured by Nichia, a Japanese LED manufacturer. Color temperature is a characteristic of light. It is used to quantify the color appearance of light sources. The TIR lens makes the LED light collimated. It does this into efficient, well-controlled beams. These beams maximize the usable lumens in the target area. The flashlight has electronic switches. They have many benefits and extra features compared to mechanical switches. The EDC Copper flashlight has a rear switch. Its operation is usually simple and easy to understand.

Performance, flux, intensity, throw

With 1300 lm, the EDC Copper flashlight will offer a brighter and more powerful beam of light. The EDC Copper flashlight has 10500 cd. It can light objects at greater distances. The throw is the distance in meters at which the flashlight produces a light intensity of 0.25 lux. The cd/lm factor is the candela-to-lumen ratio. It shows how concentrated a light source's output is.

Software, user interface, modes

A flashlight's modes are different output settings or brightness levels. They can be chosen to meet different needs and preferences. The flashlight has mode memory. It remembers the mode you were using when the light was last turned off. It stays in that mode when you turn it on again. You can use Strobe for signaling purposes. It can also be used for self-defense or to attract attention in emergency situations.

Features, battery, protections

The Mechforce EDC Copper flashlight is powered by 1 x 18350 Li-Ion battery. The battery indicator helps users check the battery status. It also estimates how much runtime they have left before recharging the battery. The EDC Copper cannot charge batteries. You may need an external charger to keep your battery going. This flashlight has built-in low voltage protection (LVP). It prevents damage from over-discharge, so it doesn't need protected cells.

The built-in thermal control adjusts brightness output to prevent overheating. The "7" in the IPx7 rating shows that the flashlight can survive being submerged in water. It can withstand a certain depth for a limited time without getting damaged.

Accessories, package contents

It comes with a battery. The battery must be fully charged before you first use your EDC Copper.
