Lots of great information, for those of us who have a little idea of lights, lumens etc etc. Perfectly said buying the right tool for the job. Thanks for the great content and breaking it all down for us who use lights for work weekly.
Dear Nitecore! I bought HC65 one month ago. I used 2 hours light rain, and the headlamp is died. Was not waterproof. The support was okay, and everything was fine, so I decided I give second chance for this headlamp. I ordered the second one, but the fist, I did: those four tiny srews on the front (because that part was leaked) I tightened very well! After I just put into a cup of water minimum one hour. The test was succesful and I hope never be any problem in the future. So please take care in the factory, because the srews just not enough tighten! Were very leasure! Anyway, I like it!
One important point is missed in this video. For powerful headlamps color temperature is very important. If your headlamp output is more then 1k lumens and the CCT is 6500K, you will be a bit blinded by reflections from water drops in air. Manufacturers usually don’t bothering customer needs and fall to “marketing fluff”.
I love nitecore and you sir truly sell the products. You always explain the products so well and your enthusiasm is contagious. It makes me want to buy lights just for fun.
Does Mr. Nitecore know that you sneak in every night to make the videos? I'm kidding clearly, the videos are always very interesting and allow us to orient ourselves in the wide choice of products, thank you very much!
Man, you really make all these light details make sense. the whole "turbo brightness" aspect seems irrelevant, considering they run for 30s-1m on "turbo" before they step down due to heat.. I have a Lumintop fw3t that will only stay on turbo for a few seconds before it steps down. And then on a headlamp, which is a very useful tool as a mechanic, anything over "medium" on an 18650 headlamp really blows out your vision! yes it's easy to be 'too bright' in that situation. I've gotta get some nitecore lights. such useful info.
I bought a HC65 last year for my mountain hiking trip. Really love it because of the 3 LEDs, white for map, red for tactical movement and Main one for flood. For mountain hiking, the RED LED is super bright coz our eyes are sensitive to red light and it lasted for 2 nights climb at really low temperature of 2-7 degree C. Only problem was the rubber holder broke a few weeks after the trip. Must be all the sulphur from the volcano. We entered the crater of Mt. Ijen...
Thank you for your video. Some years ago I bought the Nitecore Thumb for work. Perfect for navigation in dark rooms and the red light if you want to preserve your night vision and / or don't want to be really seen. I'm satisfied with it. Now I'm searching for a headlamp for hiking, backpacking, long walks, journeys. I was looking at the NU17 and some other Nitecore lights in that price range. I do not need a really long beam and the light don't have to be super bright. I saw the NU35 and I think I will buy it. It has a wide beam, auxiliary lights and red light. I really like the build in battery and that you can put extra batteries in it. That will be good when I'm hiking. There's no need to depend on the charger. I can use batteries. Sure it is bigger. But I think the light is the light I was searching for.
I am looking for a 18650 powered headlamp with as much flood as posible, 80 or so lumens will suffice ... high cri or atleast neutral white with at least 10 hours of runtime (the more the better obviously .. : D) ... any suggestions? x)
Do you have a store in the Philippines? My Nu25 was mistakenly put in the washing machine and though I was able to use it, it just turned off while hiking for 45 minutes. I was able to recharge it but it does not turn on anymore.
Well, you made a mistake. The Nitecore NU35 can run 10 hours at 210 lumens (not the crazy 77 hours). It uses 2 different power sources: 3 x AAA and 920 mAh lit-ion battery (not 3 power sources)
I can't find a specific video on the HC35 by you. Have you made one? I frequently inspect large abandoned buildings such as hotels and I need to see far and also up close without glare. Is the HC35 good for this? I don't really mind the weight as I will need it 2-3 hours max
What would you recommend for close work such as podiatry requiring a good amount of brightness. I currently have a rechargeable that dies after two hours. I'm looking for something that runs for at least 4 hours.
Hi! i really enjoy your videos as newbie in lights.... great infos here, subbed :) can you help me with choosing a good waterproof headlamp? as i read i would need a IPX8. i have found the Petzl Black Diamond Spot 350 but it seems it leaks water inside. it is tested only for 30mins. by 1,1 meter depth. It would be great if you can give me a advice what to buy :) greetings
@@NitecoreSG thanks :) i guess i will go for this. but there is now "manual focus adjust" like the ither which seems to be great. That with HC33 would be perfect 😁
I bought medical penlight and very satisfied with it👍🏻thanks for the recommendation👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻but do you any recommendation for headlamp that can focus to smallest diameter for ENT Procedure?
@@jollyhuang You'll need a professional medical light for that. Every other headlamp is designed for flood or spot-at-range. Also the colour temperature will be way off without proper correction.
I ordered an HC65 from Amazon, and the ultralow mode failed and stayed off, I got the replacement and after a week of testing the fully pressed position of the switch failed and now hardly ever works to turn the main light on and off, I don't know if it's nitecore's fault or Amazon does some shady things there with reselling counterfeit or second-grade products.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Good day to you all.

This will be a great market for you as well. Or maybe add GoPro mount on the BR35???? I don’t like the HU60( battery is separated) Thank you
Information you have got me to buy a P20iX instead of the P20i. The wide beam is more useful than the long range beam. For my uses being able to light up an entire room is more useful than being able to light up part of my neighbor's shed.
the explanation is quite good, so basically we buy a flashlight according to our needs. whatever the flashlight, if the use is not right it will be redundant. if maybe you add subtitles in the bahasa so it's easy to understand

That is a nice tip, thank you! I also have the HC65, certainly will check those screws.

Excellent review. Highly recommended for first time buyer.
Good thinking guideline to make a reasonable choice.
Shopping for head lamp…..I’ve learnt a lot watching this….thankyou
Thank you! Very useful and instructive video. I will take a look at your products.
Luv my Nitecore hc65 headlamp 💪
Good information. Thank you.
Nice guide, thank you! I love Nitecore because they have a lot model for every scenario!
Ur review make us wiser🙏🏻 enjoy ur content evrytime
Great recommendations and tutorial on necessities when purchasing. Thanks 👍
Martin Leong glad it helps!
Awesome video, as usual! I really enjoy your content, it's informative and well made. Love my Nitecore Tiki :)
_nic01 thanks! Any way you feel it can be done better just let me know!
Best explanation for headlamp so far…thanks for the info sifu.. 👍🏻
so it’s choice of brightness or runtime.. gotcha!
I have a HC65 and love it, but I would like a new headlight based on HC70 construction (I think perfect: solid and symmetric).
I love my hc65
Same' Luv my Nitecore hc65 headlamp 💪
I haven't tried a nitecore headlamp yet unless you count putting my tip 2 in a headband light holder.
Great explanation! Thx
Good information, however, another important consideration would be water and dust resistance.
I use my Nitecore hc 33 on my backpack sternum strap 😉
Very helpful and insightful thanks for the video
Great video. I have the nu05 and the nu17. love the size and portability. I did a video review on the nu05.
Thank you
i thought you were gonna mention to make sure the lamp is also position adjustable
Nice video found it very interesting thank you for posting it. What do you recommend for night time fishing off a pier.
very nice explain . i would go for HC35 . which can have 300 lux for more than 8 hours
Very informative. Thank you!
This was sooooo helpful. Thank you!
Good video ! Thank you.
Which would you recommended for camping? NU35 or NU32?
Idk i havent heard very good things about these
Terrific content. Good points made. Have you done videos comparing "right angled headlights"? e.g. OLIGHT Peron 2 vs THRUNITE TH30 v2....tc.
I was doing offshore boat fishing at night which do i need to choose? NU32?
you are very wise my friend !!!!!!
I am looking for a 18650 powered headlamp with as much flood as posible, 80 or so lumens will suffice ... high cri or atleast neutral white with at least 10 hours of runtime (the more the better obviously .. : D) ... any suggestions? x)
Great advice. 👍
Hi boss... Can demo the lights during night time... 😛 It's will be great... 😝
Will do something like that soon
@@NitecoreSG thank you so much boss...

Lesson of the story. Do your research! 😂
Thanks man
Make a video about the new NU35 please...
Shaulin Matador de Porco that’s next on the list 👍
for NU35, it lasts 10hrs only @ 210 lumen. not what the video is saying.
Great vid
Nice
can u suggest what brand can last longer with full charge ... or any type that use more unit baterry ...most using only 1 chargeable battery
Do u have any suggestions for best midrange headlamps? Like below RM150-200. Thanks.
galeng
I can't find a specific video on the HC35 by you. Have you made one? I frequently inspect large abandoned buildings such as hotels and I need to see far and also up close without glare. Is the HC35 good for this? I don't really mind the weight as I will need it 2-3 hours max
nitecore hc35 if turbo mode cant use it for the long period of time? it back to mid brightness
Yes all turbo modes will eventually step down to stop the light from overheating
what happened to the nu43? i found it on the webside but can't find it anywhere to purchase :(
Here you go www.nitecorelights.com/products/nu43-1400-lumens
I want a 1200 lumen USB C headlight that can work with big power banks(100wh and plus, and don't try to carry those on a plane).
What would you recommend for close work such as podiatry requiring a good amount of brightness. I currently have a rechargeable that dies after two hours. I'm looking for something that runs for at least 4 hours.
Hi Bro I just bought Nitecore NU35. My intention was to use for trail running. Is it sufficient to be use in total darkness during the run?
Great video but the auto focus is annoying. Thanks for the info.

For the best seal, use headlamps without any USB port, like the HC33, that will work better for you for waterproofing
@@NitecoreSG thanks :) i guess i will go for this. but there is now "manual focus adjust" like the ither which seems to be great. That with HC33 would be perfect 😁
i have a really good question , what is the longest brightest time model ? above 1k lumen for a thrower and flood nitecore
This is very informative, btw let's say i just need arm's length work, would hc35 do because i can detach and use as torch light in some scenario?
Yes that works well. A lighter version would be hc33
@@NitecoreSG thanks 😊

Don’t buy from Amazon. Buy from a proper dealer or distributor. You don’t know where the products are coming from
@@NitecoreSG Thank you! I haven't thought about Amazon having problems like this, in the future I will oder the products from Nitecore Germany.
Hopely nitecore make nu25 design with 2000 - 3000 mah, high 200 lumen for more than 12 hours runtime
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Good day to you all.
Are you planning to make a bike Helmet light , long lasting, at least 100 meters throw , max 1800 lumen , USB-C charging , with a display , with GoPro mounting???
✅I have 2 Nitecore BR35 , THE BEST BIKE LIGHT - used on winter storm , the only light we have, last a long time & the Nitecore TUP 1000 lumen.
I need a light for my helmet same durability & long lasting.
There was an increase of people riding their bike now with the pandemic.
U.S. has millions of backordered bikes.
This will be a great market for you as well.
Or maybe add GoPro mount on the BR35????
I don’t like the HU60( battery is separated)
Thank you
it almost perfect if the IP rating set on 67 or more, instead of 66
very unformative 🙏🏽
Very useful information thank you!
very good video Thanks !!!
Good video,it help me a lot.
This my 2nd video I have watched by you I think the other one was ear bud this video is all 💯 pure facts man honest good guy good video
Information you have got me to buy a P20iX instead of the P20i. The wide beam is more useful than the long range beam. For my uses being able to light up an entire room is more useful than being able to light up part of my neighbor's shed.
Yeap beam type is important. Glad it helped
the explanation is quite good, so basically we buy a flashlight according to our needs. whatever the flashlight, if the use is not right it will be redundant. if maybe you add subtitles in the bahasa so it's easy to understand
Love my HC35 built like a tank and has a wide variety of power options.
