I've had my HC30 since April 5th, 2016. Your video helped to confirm my purchasing of it. I removed the top strap when new, and don't feel its necessary. Today (5/23/24) I received a replacement rubber bracket (I broke it) & headband (stretched from years of use). I've never used the turbo mode as I think high is more than adequate. This light is used almost everyday. The 1 lumen setting is great for entering a bedroom & not waking anyone. A rather late "Thank You" for your review.
I've had this light since it came out and absolutely love it. I use it almost daily around the property and for work. I generally run it on the 2nd setting for working with my hands stuff but when walking around the full power is excellent and nice beam pattern. Battery seems to run for ever and it's crazy light weight. I've bought another already as a gift for dad.
Neutral white is better for close up stuff as you can see colours better. But if you are using it for long range or to light up a large area than cool white provides more light for less power.
I do like how thrunite light has a battery indicator light on the tap button, blue when on,red when needing charge an green good to go,not bad for either I like this one your reviewing as well,just thought you'd like these too.
Loved right up to the time that the switch failed. Had it for 3 weeks and used it a lot under a house on a remodel. No problem with returning it. Just did not trust it not to fail again leaving me in the dark.
+Craig Stensrud i've never had one fail but have had lots of stuff fail from all sorts of brands. electronics are still electronics I guess. thanks for the comment.
Sweet .. FINALLY something NEW from the flashlight review world! I am excited for this lamp. This is definitely going on my list of MUST HAVES! Love the multi-function of this lamp! Only thing that would have kicked this out of the park is if it was mini usb rechargeable. Great review! AWESOME HEADLAMP! The night shots sold me!
Thats a nice headlamp, I believe Nitecore is the best flashlights makers nowadays, I mean for sure. I'm ordering the new 2000 lumen EC4S and this one too for camping and hunting. Great review as always Ben.
I just got my HC 30 in the mail today and I must say I really like it I also have a MH 27 that I really liked a lot too Nightcore seems to be a very quality product and with the MH 27 I like the fact that I can charge it up with the battery still in there the HC 30 will be used night time fishing and camping walking trails at night
+Living Survival Just to give an update, I bought one and it's fantastic. I used it several evenings while doing repairs on my ATV and it was perfect on the low setting for sorting out wiring and other repairs. The headband is very comfortable and its so light I forgot it was on my head. I would recommend getting a second battery so you you don't get caught out if one dies. I have a few Nitecore 3400mAh batteries and they work well.
GIVES ME TUNNEL VISION Hate the narrow beam Much better spread on the HC50 but not bright enough I need 2000 Lumens with a removeble diffuser or an MT-G2 emitter and it MUST BE Neutral White and NO HOTSPOT! Nitecore needs to make an MT-G2 version with one 18650 in front and one 18650 in back of the headband for perfect balance and longer runtimes than the Acebeam I like the nitecore cast body on some of their flashlights and that type of cooling would be great on a headlamp
+Dude Whatever and how about an RF remote control for the handlebars of my bike? It would be nice to have a smooth ramp up/down of the output once we have 2000 Lumens or more with a difuse neutral white beam for Video recording at night (1000 Lumens IS NOT ENOUGH!!!
+Adrian Larson What I mean is when running or riding a bike fast you look further forward and some lights that do not illuminate this field of view can be frustrating.
+Living Survival LOL, yea I understood want you meant. But man, after hearing, "Out run the light", I stopped and had to ponder the scientific ramifications for 30 seconds. It's a blooper for sure (oh and more bloopers!) but I'm stealing the expression for personal use. Keep up the great vids man and "OUT RUN THE LIGHT!"
Awesome, Ben,what do you think about the thrunite t30 2,000 lumens an the olight h2r 2300 lumens, both are great an same price,80.00 but both do come with clip an charger too
Thanks for the review, I want one real bad you have a great video on the power of this head lamp lights up the hole street awesome . I just ordered a B!#$K D23456D two hundred lumens more than enough, I would buy a Nitecore If I could have more -settings- 1 lumen and I think 70 was next and then 400 then a thousand when you In camp you only need about 20 to 40 lumens not 1 lumen and then the next setting at 70 lumens ,If It was more adjustable I would buy one now ,when you need brightness this Is the one , It needs to be more adjustable for the average user .............
I have a bushnell 225 Trkr I think. It takes 3 triple A batteries, but it only costs $24. I don't think that's too bad. But this is one of the nicest headlamp/flashlight combos I have seen. What camera do you use to record? I've been noticing some 60fps lately, it looks good! Take care buddy!
Very similiar design as Zebralight or ArmyTek. There is also Lumonite Compass headlamp which is based of ArmyTek Wizard and that has been modified, very similiar to this Nitecore but with diffusor glass. The difference on the Lumonite Compass is that all the extra light modes (Strobe, S.O.S, beacon) have been removed. www.valostore.fi/tuote/lumonite_compass_1000/
Living Survival thank you.. I have two hs-30s now you want a bright headlamp this Is the one, man Is It bright ,and -light- on the head you don't even need that upper strap on top of your head , I'm amazed at how bright this headlamp Is just awesome, my only complaint Is the first setting Is one lumen how stupid Is that Its -useless- It should have been 5 or 10 lumens you have to be careful putting It away, because after you use the higher setting your eyes really cant even see one lumen , you think you have turned It off . This light Is the brightest headlamp I love It Its not a real narrow beam but It reaches out Its like compared to my other headlamps. All the setting are great except 1 lumen setting I hope they fix that soon on the next model I guess, I have a lot of headlamps you know the three best ones , you wont want to use any after you get this headlamp , 1000 lumens In this headlamp Is awesome , I shined It across the street there was a cat with Its eyes glowing , great for spotting animals and staying out of trouble from a distance, great trail headlamp to use this hunting season ...Way to go Nitecore
+Living Survival Hi Ben, u had made a joke on someone else's video a while back (can't remember which one) about attacking them (or it) with your spikes. So, that is where the idea of 'tactical gel' came from. If this is offensive to you I apologize and will gladly delete my comment. Let me know. :)
+Freddie Dorris the TH10 is much heavier at 4.7oz without battery and not as bright (only 750 lumens). Plus the TH10 is much clunkier for lack of a better word and all over the place when on your head. Although I have several ThruNite lights that I like, Nitecore's modes and programming is simply the best IMO.
So if you want to just use a specific mode all the time, do you just press/hold it on and then press/hold it off? Or do you have to cycle through the modes to turn it on and then off?
So I would have to cycle through all the brightness settings every time I turn this light on? It always turns on in low mode? Can I set it to always turn on in high or mid mode??
Oh but it doesn't, maybe in theory but... ...getting 3A / 7,3-7,4V for the led (the led it self is capable of lot more than 2300lm) from one 18650 is a bit "iffy"...
hello, i need a headlamp o doesn't have flashlight i just want to turn on and off in the same mode this one do it? or you have other more simple? sorry for bad english thank you
I recommend the frosted lens, and the "high CRI" LED bulbs. Very useful light output, with a mellow color tone and "true color" viewing. A real pleasure in the dark compared to harsh overly bright blueish LED lights.
+Nathan Schmoekel you beat me to it! Zebralight is lighter, has more modes and it seems like this light basically copied the design of the H600. I use my H600 on mountain bike rides and it's my EDC light I carry with me everywhere. I use the pocket clip offered by zebralight for other lights they offer.
Ride Alongside well I have owned the h600 zebralight for about 4 years now..great light besides the fact that I had to send it in for repairs 3 TIMES!!!. first time light just stop working second time light would not stay at the higher modes of 700 lumens for more than a couple seconds. .current limiter issue. Third time light would flash between modes on its own..each time I sent it off took 3 months to receive the light back...zebra light send their lights to China for repair ..I own the nitecore tm26 and two hc50 ..beat them up good lights still working never had to send them off for repairs. Nitecore is better hands down.
+django freeman wow man, that's some serious bummer luck, sorry to hear that. I've had my two ZebraLight headlamps for two years, a cr123, and a AA both with frosted lenses... zero issues so far. One even went through the laundry once! Lol
Living Survival no biggie, i am getting the os1 baton 2 anyways... it has a clip on it facing the right way , and i can just clip it on my hat bill on the front if i need something like this thats handsfree i guess....
Armytek Tiara A1 Pro is my favorite. Pretty much like this, but it takes AA-batteries (NiMH) or 14500 Li-Ion. The same Cree XM-L U2 LED. 6 power modes (0.1, 2, 12, 85, 250, 550 lumen) and strobe/SOS. Very well regulated, 120 degree diffusor lens, not much of a hot spot...so very good as a short range (max 40 metres) work light. Will work 5hr (tested) with the best AA NiMH (like eneloop pro) at 85 lumen...which is plenty. Has a magnet and pocket clip. Water proof and bomb proof single piece aluminium. th-cam.com/video/9tHxXM3loCg/w-d-xo.html
Supposedly they have like 400mAh more (it says 2400mAh might have closer to 2600mAh) , but they have 500 cycles whereas the regulars have 1000 cycles. This is what I have read. And...supposedly the new Fujitsu NiMH that look quite a bit like eneloop pros come from the same factory in Japan and are just as good...
yeah, the HC30 had my attention and still does but the Fenix lamp seems like it might be better, i will have to look at the runtimes, neat that you can remove that nitecore and hold it but i tend to lose things.
+MrNorthstar50 This headlamp has a flood beam reflector which spreads the light out more widely. That may be why you don't think it's 1000 lumens. I own the Nitecore P12 and have measured the light output using a lux meter and Nitecore's output ratings are spot on. This headlamp uses the same 18650 battery, LED, and driver as the P12 so i'm thinking it's right on the 1000 lumen mark.

I've had my HC30 since April 5th, 2016. Your video helped to confirm my purchasing of it. I removed the top strap when new, and don't feel its necessary. Today (5/23/24) I received a replacement rubber bracket (I broke it) & headband (stretched from years of use). I've never used the turbo mode as I think high is more than adequate.

I love Nitecore but did the lamp did that to your hair???
I've had this light since it came out and absolutely love it. I use it almost daily around the property and for work. I generally run it on the 2nd setting for working with my hands stuff but when walking around the full power is excellent and nice beam pattern. Battery seems to run for ever and it's crazy light weight. I've bought another already as a gift for dad.
awesome, thanks for the input.
This also comes in neutral white. Much better at night since it won't wash out any colors.
Neutral white is better for close up stuff as you can see colours better. But if you are using it for long range or to light up a large area than cool white provides more light for less power.
Nice. I like that it can come apart and be used as a separate flashlight. Good review.
+sameold77 Agreed, thanks.
I do like how thrunite light has a battery indicator light on the tap button, blue when on,red when needing charge an green good to go,not bad for either I like this one your reviewing as well,just thought you'd like these too.
Great headlamp, I have one in Neutral White variant and it's my primary EDC light for a while - can't get enough of it!
I think I just found my first headlamp. Thanks Ben!
Loved right up to the time that the switch failed. Had it for 3 weeks and used it a lot under a house on a remodel. No problem with returning it. Just did not trust it not to fail again leaving me in the dark.
+Craig Stensrud i've never had one fail but have had lots of stuff fail from all sorts of brands. electronics are still electronics I guess. thanks for the comment.
This is a great headlight! I am going to get another one, probably one of the best little lights on the market right now...
Sweet .. FINALLY something NEW from the flashlight review world! I am excited for this lamp. This is definitely going on my list of MUST HAVES! Love the multi-function of this lamp! Only thing that would have kicked this out of the park is if it was mini usb rechargeable. Great review! AWESOME HEADLAMP! The night shots sold me!
+P701 yeah, its powerful and light.
Thats a nice headlamp, I believe Nitecore is the best flashlights makers nowadays, I mean for sure.
I'm ordering the new 2000 lumen EC4S and this one too for camping and hunting.
Great review as always Ben.
+deadgara ec4s should be sweet.
I just got my HC 30 in the mail today and I must say I really like it I also have a MH 27 that I really liked a lot too Nightcore seems to be a very quality product and with the MH 27 I like the fact that I can charge it up with the battery still in there the HC 30 will be used night time fishing and camping walking trails at night
+BBBYpsi nice.
As promised, Excellent review! especially on field testing! Thank you Sir. Ben!
Looking forward for another camping adventure :)
+Onibaku Buggy Thanks for watching.
I also divide my gear in two part. I already have my p12 2015, and a med budget 250lumens flashligth.
Just picked one up thanks to your review, I have other Nitecores but this Trumps them all
+Northern Territory Bushcraft great light.
Thanks for the review, I think this will be great all around light for working on the car, general use at the cottage etc.
+A Molson Great all around light for sure.
+Living Survival Just to give an update, I bought one and it's fantastic. I used it several evenings while doing repairs on my ATV and it was perfect on the low setting for sorting out wiring and other repairs.

Need a new one for night fishing this looks perfect.
+PREPFORIT yep, going in my hunting kit
Thanks Ben. Was looking at them the other day on Gearbest. I may order a couple for the kits im building.
+Daddy Dave Can't go wrong.
GIVES ME TUNNEL VISION
Hate the narrow beam
Much better spread on the HC50 but not bright enough
I need 2000 Lumens with a removeble diffuser or an MT-G2 emitter
and it MUST BE Neutral White and NO HOTSPOT!
Nitecore needs to make an MT-G2 version with one 18650 in front and one 18650 in back of the headband for perfect balance and longer runtimes than the Acebeam
I like the nitecore cast body on some of their flashlights and that type of cooling would be great on a headlamp
+Dude Whatever
and how about an RF remote control for the handlebars of my bike?
It would be nice to have a smooth ramp up/down of the output once we have 2000 Lumens or more with a difuse neutral white beam for Video recording at night (1000 Lumens IS NOT ENOUGH!!!
Now this one looks just right.
Always love your vids, Ben.Thanks for the heads up!Will PM you for the code.
+Kram Rentip sounds good.
Out run the light! Damn your fast! Your fracking me up dude.
+Adrian Larson What I mean is when running or riding a bike fast you look further forward and some lights that do not illuminate this field of view can be frustrating.

Adrian Larson OUT RUN THE FUCKING LIGHT!!!!
That thing is insane man! Thanks for the review!
Like your reviews, keep it up!!
Christmas came early this year, my new headlamp for work :)
+Kalle Sandberg nice ;)
So strong it makes your hair stand
+Amu Batal sure does
Nice review just want to know if it get hot on high mode thanks.
very nice your right I did my research and this one is the best
Awesome, Ben,what do you think about the thrunite t30 2,000 lumens an the olight h2r 2300 lumens, both are great an same price,80.00 but both do come with clip an charger too
Great job, good information

+racerguy008 send me a PM.
Like the light man. Like to get the promo code for it and pick one up
+Anthony DiLuccia the codes are expired ;(
You need to do a review on tactical gel. :-)
+Greg Kelway yep
+Living Survival Great video as usual my friend.....
+Greg Kelway=classless. Absolutely pathetic and definitely not funny.....IMHO
+Living Survival Hi Ben, u had made a joke on someone else's video a while back (can't remember which one) about attacking them (or it) with your spikes. So, that is where the idea of 'tactical gel' came from. If this is offensive to you I apologize and will gladly delete my comment. Let me know. :)
Greg Kelway PREPAREDMIND101 and I go back and forth. No offense taken man. I'm trying to see how high I can get it to go!
Just kinda reminds me of the Thrunite Th 10. Do you like the Nitecore better? I like the Thrunite. What makes this one so much better Ben?
+Freddie Dorris the TH10 is much heavier at 4.7oz without battery and not as bright (only 750 lumens). Plus the TH10 is much clunkier for lack of a better word and all over the place when on your head. Although I have several ThruNite lights that I like, Nitecore's modes and programming is simply the best IMO.
thanks for the review. does this remember the power level of the light when you turn it off and back on?
+yang4evr Yes.
Whats best, he30 or he60? And if there are any better/brighter headlamp can you give a tip?
Hello! Tell me, what kind of light is presented in video: Cool white or neutral white?
So if you want to just use a specific mode all the time, do you just press/hold it on and then press/hold it off? Or do you have to cycle through the modes to turn it on and then off?
with the pocket clip you could clip it onto the peak of a cap
+Dean O yep, sure could.
What flashlight is better (in Your opinion) this nitecore or Fenix HP12?
great video ben
+Steve Gareau thanks Steve.
No need to thank me lol
+Steve Gareau I appreciate you watching my videos :)
Lol all good
So I would have to cycle through all the brightness settings every time I turn this light on? It always turns on in low mode? Can I set it to always turn on in high or mid mode??
Unless I missed it, I think you forgot to mention run times for the different modes.
+David Mm you didn't miss it.
Why won't they make a floody, powerful, high CRI headlamp?
Thanks Ben, I am a scoutmaster and this will be great for the scouts. Please send me the discount code
I was wondering if there's any laws about the number of lumens a light can have?
+Derskorpion85 not that I know of.
Do you think it could be coverted to a bike helmet mount or handlebar mount? Also what's the cost and battery life at the turbo setting
yes, you could use a web dominator.
Living Survival what's the price?
It reminds my of the Xtar H3
What are your favorite AAA and AA lights?
+Erik22552 At the moment my favorite AA are the Nitecore EA41 and ThruNite Archer 1AV2. AAA is ThruNite Ti3.
since you live in Michigan do you know of any store's that carry higher end folder knives tactical preferably thanks
+Steve Gareau Cabelas or Bass Pro Shops? Other than that maybe go to Benchmade's website or similar and do a dealer locator.
Thank you very much sir I'm not far from bass pro I live in sterling heights so thanks again
Steve Gareau I'm in Farmington Hills.
Armytek Wizard pro XHP50 V3 puts out 2300lms.
Oh but it doesn't, maybe in theory but... ...getting 3A / 7,3-7,4V for the led (the led it self is capable of lot more than 2300lm) from one 18650 is a bit "iffy"...
Chinese headlamp with cree led beats that.Costs 1/10 .If breaks, u buy another.Mine didnt break yet inspite having it in harsh conditions.
I've seen a direct comparison.. the $5 China light didn't compare. works well enough for you I guess. light was nitecore ec11
If there will have a red light it will Be perfect!
+MatteoTSU77 true
+Living Survival HC50 still be my favourite (IMO)
hey im trying to decided between this and the olight h1 whats your thoughts
h1.
nice
What is the price? Great vid !! Tks
how is this light any better than an armytek wizard pro except the lower price? please enlighten me, living survival.
+aaah beeeh never tried the armytek so can't' answer that one. sorry.
+Living Survival but...then change the title to "best (?) headlamp"... or u lose ur credibility!
...half serious meant....
does it have the magnetic base like the HC33?
No, it does not.
How long will it last in becon mode?
What 18650s are best for this? 3400mAh, 3600mAh etc?
+EpicEverything3 MAh refers to the capacity so the bigger will last a bit longer.
I like it
+Thomas Kelly thanks for watching.
i enjoy your vids. thank you
This or the olight h1r?
Great review! Thanks
+Ignacio Garcia Felury thanks.
is it water resistant
How the heck do you send a pm?
hello, i need a headlamp o doesn't have flashlight i just want to turn on and off in the same mode this one do it? or you have other more simple? sorry for bad english thank you
most headlamps will have several brightness levels. this one is good though for ease of use.
thank you :)
I have a large skull will the straps fit ?
+LordGandor3 It should.
Where do I get the discount code?
+Ranel Caudle the codes expire after a certain period of time if they sell out. you can try GBLED2016

+Ronald Graham replied yesterday
+Living Survival Found it, thanks!
The code is expired.
Ronald Graham Once they sell out of a certain quantity they remove the code. Got to be quick like a Cheetah.
ZebraLight has had this design for YEARS, and still does it better. More modes, more models, more options, same basic concept.
+Nathan Schmoekel I've seen those but never played with one. I will see what I can do about getting one. Thanks for the comment Nathan.
I recommend the frosted lens, and the "high CRI" LED bulbs. Very useful light output, with a mellow color tone and "true color" viewing. A real pleasure in the dark compared to harsh overly bright blueish LED lights.

Ride Alongside well I have owned the h600 zebralight for about 4 years now..great light besides the fact that I had to send it in for repairs 3 TIMES!!!. first time light just stop working second time light would not stay at the higher modes of 700 lumens for more than a couple seconds. .current limiter issue. Third time light would flash between modes on its own..each time I sent it off took 3 months to receive the light back...zebra light send their lights to China for repair ..I own the nitecore tm26 and two hc50 ..beat them up good lights still working never had to send them off for repairs. Nitecore is better hands down.
+django freeman wow man, that's some serious bummer luck, sorry to hear that.
I've had my two ZebraLight headlamps for two years, a cr123, and a AA both with frosted lenses... zero issues so far. One even went through the laundry once! Lol

Promo code please.
+Rudy H they sold out :(
Armytek Tiara A1 Pro is my favorite. Pretty much like this, but it takes AA-batteries (NiMH) or 14500 Li-Ion. The same Cree XM-L U2 LED. 6 power modes (0.1, 2, 12, 85, 250, 550 lumen) and strobe/SOS. Very well regulated, 120 degree diffusor lens, not much of a hot spot...so very good as a short range (max 40 metres) work light. Will work 5hr (tested) with the best AA NiMH (like eneloop pro) at 85 lumen...which is plenty. Has a magnet and pocket clip. Water proof and bomb proof single piece aluminium. th-cam.com/video/9tHxXM3loCg/w-d-xo.html
+Ari Lehtiniemi do you think the eneloop pros are better than the regulars?
Supposedly they have like 400mAh more (it says 2400mAh might have closer to 2600mAh) , but they have 500 cycles whereas the regulars have 1000 cycles. This is what I have read. And...supposedly the new Fujitsu NiMH that look quite a bit like eneloop pros come from the same factory in Japan and are just as good...
Ari Lehtiniemi thanks for the input. i have some pros on the way.
Would you take this over the Fenix HL60R, have you ever tried it?
never tried that one.
yeah, the HC30 had my attention and still does but the Fenix lamp seems like it might be better, i will have to look at the runtimes, neat that you can remove that nitecore and hold it but i tend to lose things.
ordered the pd35 with orbotronics
thanks buddy, I will let you know if I like it.
That light is not close to 1000 lumens you need to see a real 1000 lumen light then you will see the difference.
+MrNorthstar50 This headlamp has a flood beam reflector which spreads the light out more widely. That may be why you don't think it's 1000 lumens. I own the Nitecore P12 and have measured the light output using a lux meter and Nitecore's output ratings are spot on. This headlamp uses the same 18650 battery, LED, and driver as the P12 so i'm thinking it's right on the 1000 lumen mark.
I watched a different review because of the hair
These are just zebralight knockoffs and not as good. if you like this light check out the ORIGINAL Zebralight.
