NitecoreNU20 Classic Ultralight Headlamp, 360 Lumen USB-C Rechargeable Lightweight for Backpacking, Camping, Running with Auxilary White and Red Light

Saw this on a YouTube video, and needed a new headlamp. Let me tell you this one is bright as could be and lasted my entire week long camp trip. It is super easy to use and is extremely comfortable on your head. Easy to tell when it’s fully charged, and even comes with its own cord. For 25 dollars this thing is worth it even just for the week I’ve used it. Plus you don’t need batteries and it’s super lite.

This is exactly what I wanted in a headlamp. It’s is ultra lightweight, minimalist design, compact and very bright. The button pushes are tactile. After reading the manual, it became very easy to switch between lighting modes; there are several. Red light is a welcome addition to any headlamp for low light use and reading in the dark. This little light is currently packed in my roadside safety box in my truck. Battery life is as advertised.

1st time buying this brand. Fit, work and super light. Workman ship will be tested soon. Nice. Seems flimsy have use it a few times and is for hiking, camping and backpacking. Also great for go bag. Nice and bright and plenty of functions. Nice USB cable and sticker.

Works as stated. Definitely useful for camping to keep you hands free. Might just be in my head, but I'm pretty sure the red light didn't attract insects to my head like the white light did. Not a fan of the elastic cords. I prefer a flat elastic headband for comfort and storage, but the one provided is of good quality and adjusts easily. Very light weight, charges fast and lasts a long while. Seriously no complaints. "Does what it says" is the reason I keep coming back to Nitecore products.

The Nitecore NU20 Classic Ultralight Headlamp stays true to its lightweight design, now featuring a USB-C port for charging and a slightly larger battery. It weighs .9 oz without the head strap—about the same as the original NU25 (non-UL version). However, I’m puzzled by Nitecore’s numbering scheme. Why call this the NU20 when there was already a NU20, just like they did with the NU25UL when there was already a NU25? This new NU20 is actually more similar to the original NU25, so why not just increment the numbers to make it easier for customers to understand the product progression?That said, the light itself is great. There are four brightness levels for the main spotlight, two levels for the red light, and a CRI flood light that works well in a tent or around camp, just like the original NU25. However, I’m not a fan of the plastic casing—it looks and feels cheaper than previous models due to some unnecessary textures they added. The headband is lighter than the original straps, but it still feels bulky for such a small headlamp. Thankfully, the headband is removable. I made my own mod by using a simple elastic band cut to size with knots on each end, snapped into the upper slots of the headlamp. This brings my setup to a total weight of 1.1 oz, making it truly ultralight.On the downside, the lockout feature now takes much longer to activate and deactivate, which feels unnecessary. The buttons, while seemingly more water-resistant, are also harder to press—not impossible, but enough to make it slightly frustrating.As a comparison, I’ve also been using the new NU25UL. After several night hikes, I’m not a fan and actually reverted back to using the original NU25 (non-UL version). While the NU25UL cuts down on weight, it doesn’t deliver the same level of comfort or functionality I’ve come to appreciate in the original.

What can I say, but "WOW"This lite light (sorry) is one of the best things since sliced bread. It's lightweight, battery life for hours, the design and buttons are easy to use, the reflective AND glow in the dark strap are a great feature. It packs away and takes up very little space. Overall, it's a great value for the money!

The media could not be loaded. I bought this as a replacement for my black diamond headlamp that stopped working. It was much more inexpensive and advertised as lightweight. When it arrived I thought I got an empty box. This think is incredibly light. Wore it around the house and forgot I had it on. My wife thinks I went nuts. The button usage is simplistic. Looking at the light the button on the right controls the main light. The button on the left controls the red light. There’s three brightness levels to the white light each time you click it gets brighter. Same with the red light. There is two brightness levels and a strobe. If you click and hold the right button a white area light turns on where the red light is. If you click and hold again it’s high beam mode. There is a battery indicator light on the top to tell you how much charge you have. It seems very durable. It’s comfortable to wear and has adjustment capabilities to tighten the strap as well as change the angle the light is pointed. Bought two more for my son and wife also.

I just used this headlamp on a 75 mile section of the Pacific Crest Trail. Crazy light. Powerful. Super compact. Never needed a charge for 4 nights, which is insane for how small it is. Even the headband is glow in the dark. The price to value relationship makes this one of the best purchases of my life.
