NitecoreHC68 Focusable Headlamp, 2000 Lumen USB-C Rechargeable with Battery, White and Red Light and LumenTac Organizer

Near perfect. Unbelievably bright. The perfect balance of flood and spot. Bragging rights. It's all here. I have my own and I've bought one for my brother. What it gets right:Metal constructionReplaceable battery5 brightness settingsSeparate on off button (why I bought it)Remembers your brightness setting (but turns it down if above medium so you don't blind your friends)Red lightOver the head strapCheap to replacement strap18650sWater tightSelf chargingEasy to use turboStays pretty good even at high outputThis is one of my best purchases of all time. I am just so impressed with the value, even though it is one of the most expensive lights on the market, it's worth it. I use it for all sorts of work outdoors, camping, hiking, etc. Seems like the batteries last forever, and they are so easy to change. I've worn it for hours without my head being tired at all. I really like the adjustable flood vs spot.A tip for use, set the spot ratio somewhere in the center before going to ultra low, and you'll get both lights at 1 lumen. If you change it at ultra low, you only get either.Minor gripes:2000 vs 1800 vs 1400 lumens is pretty similar. Turbo vs high look almost identical, and high vs higher seem to be pretty close (and are the same once the battery loses some voltage), however, 1 lumen vs 45 is a huge difference. I would like more range in the lows and less in the highs for camping. However, this light is more tuned for running and working activities. Red does fill the gap well if you don't mind red. Maybe a 4.8 rating overall for that. I am thrilled with both of mine, not even upset I paid full price for the first.

This casts an incredible amount of light and runs long on a full charge. It seems well built but is heavy. I don’t use it much but, unlike other NiteCore products, the battery always seems to be dead when I do reach for it. I have a much smaller and lightweight Petzl headlamp that would not stand up to hard abuse like this NiteCore but I find myself reaching for that one more. If I needed a tough, everyday headlamp it would be the NiteCore but for intermittent use save money and go with Petzl.

I bought this headlamp in November of 2022 and I use it for work 5-6 days a week and it has served me well. The brightness settings are perfect I rarely use anything higher than medium which lasts nearly my entire 8 hour shift thankfully. Type C charging port is a major selling point. Everything about this headlamp is perfect. There is only 1 thing I would want improved in the next version of this headlamp, the plastic hardware for the headband it makes it hard to adjust as it's way too easy to accidently bend the plastic bracket out of shape while adjusting the strap which in turn makes it possible for the headband to slip out of the bracket. This could be easily solved by making them out of a light metal suck as aluminum or titanium (preferably those since I work with saltwater all day). I work around saltwater all day for work and corrosion hasn't been an issue with this headlamp as it's made of aluminum. There have been times when I press the button to turn it on and nothing happens but it's happened so few times I could count it on one hand. My review is definitely all over the place as it's my first one. In conclusion after owning for over a year I rate it 4.5/5 an improved headband would easily make this a perfect 5 stars

Very bright light that works very well! The tilt function does not work very well, so if you need to constantly adjust up or down, this could be an issue. My unit was hard to adjust. The headband is comfortable and the buttons are easy to use when choosing brightness.

Great for all uses. Holds a charge. Extremely bright

Would recommend and buy again. Gets a little hot in da higher modes but way more than enough light for my moblile repairs whne da sun goes down. Durable

Bought this for night-time orienteering, not only did the battery last the entire 2 hrs of the competition, it was raining pretty hard and the light held up perfectly fine. It's also very bright, i had no issues finding control points during the competition, the spotlight really reached really far and the flood light did perfect at illumination my surroundings. I would recommend this to anyone that wants a quality headlamp for a bargain price. Thank you for the amazing product!

This is a great headlamp—perfect for project work around the house, walking the dogs, and camping. The build is solid, and the USB-C charging is a plus. It’s also much lighter than my Olight Perun 2, which is a bonus during long hours of use on my head.

This headlamp is nothing short of amazing!It has 5 levels of brightness. 5 being the brightest. I only need level 2 for my oil sands job. It lasted over 2 full 12hr shifts. Still with power for 1/2 of the next night. In the pic you can see it shined all the way from the rear axle of a heavy hauler to the back of the transmission as if it were day time.It's super light weight. Very easy to use.I've purchased hundreds of items off amazon. This is in the top 3 best products.It's a must have. Also costs less than work boots.I tried one of those cheap $40 ones.With the battery pack on the back.With 2battery's it only lasted 1.5 shifts. Was no where near as bright. and very heavy.If you use headlamps for work. The nitecore HC68 is the may to go.

Die Nitecore HC68 Stirnlampe mit 2000 Lumen bietet eine beeindruckende Beleuchtungsleistung, die sich ideal für Outdoor-Aktivitäten eignet. Ihre Vielseitigkeit wird durch verschiedene Beleuchtungsoptionen, einschließlich mehrerer Helligkeitsstufen und verschiedener Lichtkegel, unterstrichen. Dies ermöglicht eine präzise Anpassung an unterschiedliche Umgebungen.Das robuste Design der Stirnlampe trägt dazu bei, dass sie den Strapazen verschiedener Outdoor-Abenteuer standhält. Die wasserdichte Konstruktion sorgt dafür, dass die Lampe auch bei widrigen Wetterbedingungen zuverlässig funktioniert.Ein herausragendes Merkmal ist die Beacon-Funktion, die die HC68 zu einem unverzichtbaren Sicherheitswerkzeug macht. Die Beacon-Funktion ermöglicht es der Stirnlampe, ein periodisches Blinklicht auszusenden, was besonders nützlich ist, um in Notfällen auf sich aufmerksam zu machen oder als Orientierungshilfe dienen kann.Insgesamt ist die Nitecore HC68 Stirnlampe eine leistungsstarke und zuverlässige Wahl für Outdoor-Enthusiasten, die Wert auf eine starke Beleuchtung und langlebige Konstruktion legen.Ich habe die Lampe mit diversen anderen von 30€ - 120€ verglichen.Diese hat mich vor allem in der Handhabung überzeugt. Leichte Bedienung auch mit Handschuhen, direkter Zugang zur vollen Lumenzahl oder niedrigsten sowie Rotlicht durch andere klickweisen.Der Lampenkörper besteht aus Aluminium und fühlt sich wesentlich wertiger als die anderen getesteten Lampen an.Die maximale Helligkeit ist mit 2000 angegebenen Lumen auch wesentlich höher als bei allen anderen getesteten.Die Lampe wird mit 18650 oder 2 cr123 Batterien betrieben. Schneller Akkutausch und Ladefunktion per USB-C waren für mich Kaufkriterien, die diese Lampert erfüllt.

The headlamp itself works great except it didn't come with a battery organizer as the ad said; hence the 4 stars.

Taschenlampen sind schön und gut, aber wenn im dunkeln mal beide Hände gebraucht werden hat man ein Problem. Daher: Kopflampe. Nitecore ist mir persönlich als Qualitätshersteller bekannt, die MH10 ist seit 2 Jahren im regelmäßigem Einsatz und funktioniert wie am ersten Tag.Wichtig war für mich ebenfalls die Möglichkeit einen 18650 Akku verwenden zu können.Die Lampe selbst hat die für Nitecore üblichen Funktionen, verschiedene Helligkeitsstufen, Strobe, SOS und (von mir häufig verwendet) Bacon. SOS und Bacon sind auch im Rotlichtmodus verfügbar. Die beiden Haupt LEDs (Flut und Spot) lassen sich unabhängig voneinander einstellen, wer eher den breiten Lichtmodus braucht um den Bereich vor sich auszuleuchten kann sich das einstellen, ebenso diejenigen die lieber einen kräftigen Spot haben möchten.Die Lampe leuchtet auf höchster Stufe weiter als die meisten Menschen ohne Hilfsmittel sehen können ;)Die Lampe macht einen, wie von Nitecore gewohnt, stabilen Eindruck und ich erwarte eine ähnlich hohe Zuverlässigkeit wie bei der MH10.

Super Lampe wenn man die Funktionen kennt und sich damit beschäftig. Super Punkte sind das Rotlicht und die Einzeln zu verstellenden Lampen
