Nitecore NU25 400 UL Ultra Lightweight Headlamp, 400 Lumen USB Rechargeable with Lumentac Organizer for Back Packing, Camping and Running (Black)

Have used this headlamp for 10+ sunrise hikes and some late night hikes so far. The dimmer white light setting is enough for myself when hiking, and bumping up to a brighter setting one or two other people can get by from my headlamp. The buttons take a little getting used to but work very well and once you learn what they do, are quick to use. Battery life is good but I would recharge it after hikes. Great value for the price since its an affordable unit. Very light as well

I've had this headlamp for about a month now. It's a solid little piece of gear - I think the battery claims listed on Nitecore's website might be a bit generous; 40 minutes seems to be the runtime at the highest setting. It's also worth noting that due to overheating the headlamp will not remain at its 400 lumen mode - it'll stay there for about a minute before slowly reducing its output. It's still plenty bright - and realistically you'll be using either flood or spotlights interchangeably, as there's not much reason to have them both on at the same time. As far as the red light goes - it's actually a bit too bright in my opinion. It's actually bright enough to hike by on a moonless night - not quickly, and I wouldn't trust it in difficult terrain, but on a flat trail you could absolutely hike using the red light. Overall I'm quite satisfied with this headlamp. It's lightweight, functional (even has an SOS strobe built in, though I hope I'll never use that), and contrary to what many other folks claim has quiteintuitive controls for being a two-button device.

Awesome light! Will test it out going camping! And it came in pretty fast!

Powerful, lightweight, comfortable, and easy to work with once you get the hang of the buttons and how they work. I’ve used it mainly as hands-free lighting for when I’m cleaning small electronics and doing detailed work and don’t have easy access to a table with dedicated task lighting. Would I have preferred it a bit cheaper? Yes. But I’m sure it will pay off in the long run, and I’m actually planning on purchasing another one.

Have not used on a full hike yet (next week!) —but will be using this for all of my hikes. Variations in lights (flood/red etc ) are handy, it is SUPER light and very comfortable (I like the strap a lot more than the wide elastic on most headlamps. Will get a lot of use. Love the rechargeable feature especially! (No More searching for batteries in trail towns )
