The Nitecore HC60 UHE (HC60UHE) rechargeable headlamp is an ideal companion for work, camping, hiking, and more. Its ultra-high-efficiency (UHE) LEDs and optical matrix lens deliver a bright 1,600-lumen beam that reaches up to 171 yards. Two outputs — Primary White Light and Auxiliary Red Light — give it remarkable versatility: short-press for three white brightness levels, double-press for Turbo, and long-press the mode button for red light with Low, High, and Slow Flashing to protect night vision or serve as a signal. SOS and Beacon modes are on hand for emergencies.
Weighing only 4.94 oz, the Nitecore HC60 UHE runs up to 200 hours on its lowest setting from a 4000mAh (NL1840) rechargeable battery, recharging in about 2 hours through its integrated waterproof USB-C port. Built from aero-grade aluminum with an HA III finish, rated IP68 waterproof, and impact-resistant to 2 meters, it's a durable everyday light.
