A reboot of its 2016 model, the Nitecore NU20 Classic Rechargeable LED Headlamp updates with a modern LED, red and high-CRI white modes, USB-C charging, and a feather-light minimalist headband that's reflective and glows in the dark. Headlamp and band together weigh just 1.3 ounces and control is easy with two push buttons—one for the white beams, one for the red—on the top side of the unit.
The Nitelab UHE LED creates a significantly longer throw than old-school emitters. Reading and tasks are more pleasant with the 20-lumen, 90-CRI auxiliary light, which shines a natural-looking 4500K beam, while the red light offers high, low, and slow-flash options. The NU20 Classic is equipped with a four-stage battery level indicator and lockout mode to prevent accidental activation while in your bag.
- Primary beam: 1-360 lumens, 2-97 hours runtime, SOS and Beacon
- Auxiliary white beam: 90 CRI, 20 lumens, 7 hours runtime
- Red beam: 1-13 lumens, slow flash setting, 12-53 hours runtime
