Nitecore NU 25 - Fully Featured, Ultralight, Rechargeable Backpacking Headlamp

I have been using this headlamp all summer and couldn't be more impressed.  Nitecore obviously has been paying close attention to the needs of backpackers to have designed this headlamp.  It has it all: ultralight package that is still comfortable, rechargeable, easy use button selection, rain resistant, multiple red outputs that are easy to get to, ultra low lumen with 4 steps to a max 360 lumen output.  It does have the SOS and Beacon functions too.  I don't see a need for them, but some do.  The only downfall is that I get a reflection off my nose, but I can live with that at the lumen level that I would use for night hiking.



Triple Outputs for Every Task
Get ready for one of the most versatile and compact headlamps NITECORE offers. The NITECORE NU25 headlamp packages three outputs (white/high CRI and red) into an ultra lightweight body you can wear comfortably for hours on end. A primary CREE XP-G2 S3 LED emits up to 360 lumens of light with up to 88 yards throw which can be used for running, cycling, setting up camp and so much more. For up close tasks, reading and photography, there is a secondary high CRI LED which produces a warm 20-lumen beam and renders colors and details better than cool white outputs. Last but not least, the NU25 also features a secondary red LED for preserving night vision, map reading and hunting. There are even three special modes (red caution/SOS/Beacon) for emergencies and signaling!
Easy Dual Switch Controls
Dual switch controls located conveniently on the top of the headlamp control white and red outputs separately and make it easy to switch between all three outputs so you always know what light you're accessing. The NU25 also features a lockout mode to prevent accidental button presses while stored in tight spaces.
Built-in Battery & Charging
The NU25 comes with a built-in 610mAh li-ion battery that offers 30 minutes of runtime on Turbo and up to 160 hours on the lowest setting. Keeping the NU25 is super simple with a built-in micro-USB charging port located on the underside of the unit. Use the included charging cable to plug the light into any USB source and a red indicator light under the control buttons will illuminate. Upon completion, the light will turn green. There's even a battery power indicator so you'll never be caught with low battery again.
