About the iF International Design Award

The iF Design Award (abbreviated as iF)was established in 1953.This award is organized annually by the Hannover-based Industrie Forum Design, the oldest industrial design institution in Germany. As one of the most important global design competitions, the iF Design Award has long been renowned for its professionalism and forward-thinking.

It is internationally recognized for its“independent, rigorous, and reliable”judging philosophy,taking into account not only the aesthetic appeal of product design but also factors such asperformance, environmental sustainability, and brand valuein its evaluation criteria,aiming to enhance public awareness and appreciation of design.

Actually, we’re no strangers to the iF Award, as this world-class design accoladehas been awarded to NITECORE for two consecutive years!Back in 2017,NITECORELA10 CRI Camp LightandR25 Desktop Charging Tactical Flashlightboth won the iF International Design Award,becomingthefirst-everChinese professional lighting brand to be featured on the iF winners’ list.

And this timethe C1 Concept High-Tech High-Power Flashlightwith itsultra-compact yet ultra-powerfulinnovative performance and distinctive, groundbreaking design,has once again won high praise from the iF International Design Award jury.

As one of the first flashlights to use the CREE XHP35 HD E2 high-power LED, the C1 is built for high brightness output.Powered by a single 18650 battery, it can achieve1800 lumensof output,achieving an innovative breakthrough in the performance-to-size ratio.

In terms of design, the C1’s size and weight are comparable to that of a single 18650 battery. The compact circuitry is externally connected directly via a metal button. This unconventional design breaks away from traditional flashlight structures,not only saving internal space and significantly reducing the overall volume but also enhancing heat dissipation performance,delivering a superior look and feel while improving the overall user experience.

Its powerful performanceis more than enough to satisfy flashlight enthusiasts seeking long-lasting illumination and powerful beam throw.At the same time,it also serves excellently as a self-defense and emergency tool,offering both daily and tactical modes to meet your various needs.

Daily Mode

allows for quick activation of ultra-high brightness in standby mode, suitable for a variety of usage environments.

Tactical Mode

It is precisely such an innovative product, integrating rich features and creativity within such a small form factor, that ultimately earned unanimous praise from the judges.In fact, this isthe C1’s second award win.Shortly after its launch, it had already been awardedChina Good Designthe China Good Design Award.

This latest recognition at the 2018 iF Industrial Design Awards undoubtedly provides us with even greater encouragement, while also signifying that NITECORE’s innovative designs have gained international acclaim and received the highest level of recognition in both design and commercial realms.
