Is the Nitecore EDC17 a real alternative to the Streamlight Wedge?
In this video, I break down how I actually use the EDC17 day to day, including its white light output, laser pointer, and UV mode. I compare it directly to the Streamlight Wedge and talk through what works, what doesn’t, and who this light actually makes sense for.
This isn’t a spec-sheet review. It’s a practical, carry-based comparison.

Note: Audio is a bit quieter than intended on this one. Volume up slightly if needed. We’ll have it corrected going forward.
I’m on day 3 with EDC17. I’m an autotech. So far, it's worth every penny as a tech. The UV light is strong enough to detect the dye without the yellow glasses. The green pointer is great for techs who are forced to do inspection videos. The light is a light lol. It's slim and small enough to clip in your pocket without bothering you.
Awesome review, thank you
I haven't bothered with anything other than an Armytek Wizard Pro for over 10 years.
@2:50 it has the same side profile and design as a SOG OTF knife, they’re identical that’s crazy that!
I use UV to check money. For me I would rather have red light instead of laser pointer and it would be close to perfect.
76 bucks on their website right now. 20 bucks cheaper than amazon link.
So basically it's the nitecore version of the Olight Arkpro
The audio is too quiet.
I don’t know if I want to trust a Nitecore..Thanks for the review!
I linked both lights in the description for anyone who wants to check current pricing. Happy to answer questions in the comments.
