Mch-Edc 2.0 Dual-Fuel Everyday Carry Flashlight 1700 Lum Blk
$239.99
The Cloud Defensive MCH-EDC 2.0 is a compact, programmable everyday carry flashlight built for shooters, security professionals, and anyone who needs reliable illumination in a pocket-sized package. At 1700 lumens with an 18650 battery, this dual-fuel handheld delivers serious output in a light small enough to carry every day without burden. The MCH-EDC 2.0 runs on either rechargeable 18650 cells (included) or CR123A batteries for backup—giving you flexibility and mission readiness whether you're at the range, on duty, or in the field.
What sets the MCH-EDC 2.0 apart is its programmability and customization ecosystem. Cloud Defensive shipped this generation fully programmable by the end user, so you can configure five different output modes to match your lighting needs—from high-only to multi-level sequences. But the real innovation is the industry-first adjustable negligent discharge protection system. The MCH ships with three interchangeable ND protectors: a short version for users practicing the Surefire SwitchBack or similar techniques, and two progressively more robust designs for deep-pocket carry or plate-carrier deployment. Swap them in seconds if your role changes. It's true duty-grade flexibility.
Build quality reflects Cloud Defensive's precision-manufacturing standard. The body is machined from certified 6061-T6 aluminum, hard-anodized to MIL specification, and rated IPX-8 waterproof—fully submersible to 100 feet for 24 hours. The included deep-carry pocket clip is spring steel, heat-treated, and black nitride plated. At 5.7 ounces with battery and 5.175 inches long, the MCH-EDC 2.0 tucks into a holster, vest pocket, or pack without adding noticeable weight. Every unit ships with a UI2 charger, a spare battery, all three ND protectors, and the pocket clip—everything you need to configure and deploy immediately.
Cloud Defensive backs the MCH-EDC 2.0 with a transferable lifetime warranty and a 30-day money-back guarantee, so you can test it in your actual carry setup risk-free.

Frequently Asked Questions
What batteries work with the MCH-EDC 2.0?
The MCH-EDC 2.0 ships with one unprotected, flat-top 18650 rechargeable lithium ion battery. It is also compatible with 18350 cells (single), CR123A batteries (two), and most unprotected button-top cells. Cloud Defensive notes that unprotected cells deliver superior performance and runtime compared to protected cells or CR123A. The light has limited compatibility with protected cells, so unprotected are recommended.
Can I adjust the negligent discharge protection?
Yes. The MCH-EDC 2.0 ships with three interchangeable ND protectors designed for different carry methods. The short protector is ideal for the Surefire SwitchBack technique or other traditional low-light tactics. The two longer designs create a harder barrier between the switch and your pocket or gear, reducing the risk of accidental activation in concealed carry or EDC holster use. You can swap them in about 10 seconds without tools, so you can reconfigure the light for different roles as your needs change.
Is the MCH-EDC 2.0 waterproof?
Yes. The light is rated IPX-8 and is fully submersible to 100 feet for 24 hours, making it suitable for wet environments, water crossings, and general outdoor use.
Can I reprogram the output modes?
Yes. The MCH-EDC 2.0 is fully programmable by the end user. It ships from the factory in Mode 1 (high-only at 100%), but you can select from four other pre-configured modes, including multi-level sequences ranging from very low (5%) to high (100%). You can change the programming anytime to match your mission requirements.
