NITECORE / NU20 Classic

[Store Manager's Comment]

The long-awaited Nitecore is finally on sale! This isn't limited to this model, but I first learned about Nitecore when my favorite American outdoor shop introduced it. It's a light that I'm deeply attached to, as it took two years for it to become available for sale after I discovered it.

The NU20 is one of Nitecore's lighter models, a 38-gram headlamp.

The headband isn't a traditional band but a bungee cord type, offering excellent lightness and portability. What I particularly like is the battery indicator and the very easy mode switching.

[Excerpt from Manufacturer's Description]

A quintessential lightweight headlamp from NITECORE, popular among ultralight hikers in North America. Despite its super lightweight body of 38g, it boasts a maximum output of 360 lumens, providing ample light for nighttime activities in the dark.

The built-in battery is a 500mAh lithium-ion battery, supporting USB-C charging. Since it can be charged with the same power bank as your smartphone or GPS, it's perfect for UL-style gear.

It also features a red light, which is great for tent camping, as it's gentle on the eyes and considerate of others around you. The internal light's runtime is approximately 2 hours at a maximum of 360 lumens in turbo mode, or about 7 hours at 38 lumens in mid mode. While it's not designed for extremely long runtimes, its appeal lies in being a "minimalist light" that "shines brightly when and as much as needed."
