Light you'll actually carry. Ready when needed.
Pocket-size hands-free light that solves real problems.
- 58 grams - fits in your pocket, clips to your hat or collar
- 15 lighting modes: 3 color temps × 5 brightness levels
- 1,200 lumens max / 190 hours on low
- OLED display shows how much runtime you have left
- Built-in 1,300mAh battery charges in 1 hour 20 minutes via USB-C
Clips to your hat. Both hands free.
Working under the hood at dusk. Your phone's the only light, which means balancing it on greasy engine parts or holding it in your teeth. And you can't tell wire colors apart under that harsh blue LED.
Walking the dog after dark. Fixing something. Looking for something under furniture. Your phone works, but it's awkward, drains the battery, and that one color isn't right for half the tasks.
The TUP2 clips to your hat or collar. 58 grams. Three color temps. Both hands stay free.
We've been solving this problem for over a decade.
Nitecore's been making lights since 2007. Over 100 patents later, we've won the design awards that actually matter - Red Dot, iF Design, the American IDEA award, and Japan's G-Mark. Not because we chase awards, but because we keep fixing real problems people have with flashlights.
The original TUP was one of those fixes. People actually carried it - which is the whole point. The TUP2 is generation two. We kept what worked and improved what didn't.
Small enough to live in your pocket. Capable enough for real work. Clips to your hat or collar so you get hands-free light without dealing with headlamp straps.
Here's what makes generation two different:
15 MODES VS THE USUAL 3-5 - Three color temps × five brightness levels gives you 15 total combinations (most lights offer 3-5 max). Warm 3,000K preserves night vision for camping, neutral 4,500K shows accurate colors for detail work, cool 6,500K throws farthest for distance viewing.
INSTANT ACCESS TO WHAT YOU NEED - Long-press power when off for 1-lumen moonlight, or hold mode button for 1,200-lumen turbo. Use level preset to dial in your exact brightness before turning on - no cycling through modes you don't need.
OLED SHOWS WHAT'S LEFT - Screen displays current brightness, battery percentage, and calculated runtime. Know exactly how much time you have at your current setting.
FAST USB-C CHARGING - Full charge in 1 hour 20 minutes from any USB-C source - laptop, power bank, car adapter. Battery holds charge for 12 months when stored.
CLIP THAT STAYS PUT - Stainless steel clip handles 30 kilograms of force. Attach to hat brim, collar, or pack strap and it won't slip or need adjusting.
MEMORY FUNCTION - Turn off at 80 lumens neutral white, turn back on at 80 lumens neutral white. Light remembers your last setting.
LOCKOUT FOR POCKET CARRY - Press and hold both buttons to lock, same to unlock. Prevents accidental activation in pocket or bag.
BUILT FOR DAILY ABUSE - IP54 dustproof and water-resistant, impact tested to 2 meters, hard-anodized aluminum body. Made to live in your pocket and actually get used.
THREE STEPS TO HAVING LIGHT WHEN YOU NEED IT
Step 1: Start Carrying It
Clip it to your keys, toss it in your pocket, or hook it to your bag. At 58 grams you'll forget it's there.
Step 2: Learn the Shortcuts
Long-press when it's off and you get 1-lumen ultralow instantly - perfect for midnight bathroom runs. Press and hold the mode button for full 1,200-lumen turbo when you need max visibility. Everything else is in between.
Step 3: Clip It When You Need Hands Free
The stainless steel clip grabs hat brims, shirt collars, pack straps. Stays put while you work.
What carrying the TUP2 looks like.
Hood up at dusk. Clip it to your hat, dial in neutral white. Wire colors show accurately. Both hands free. Phone stays in your pocket.
Night hike with the phone at 20%. Switch to warm white to check the map. Night vision stays intact. Phone battery stays at 100% for the emergency call you hope you won't need.
Someone needs light in a dark basement. Pull out the TUP2, clip to collar. Problem solved in five seconds. You're the person who had what was needed.
That's the pattern. Small moments where having the right tool makes you capable instead of caught off guard.
When your phone is your only option.
The phone ends up on greasy concrete because what else are you going to do. Battery anxiety every time you need light. Holding the phone in your teeth. Can't see wire colors under that harsh LED.
Someone needs light and you're fumbling with your phone, draining the battery you need for GPS. These small moments of being unprepared add up. The pattern becomes clear: you don't have what you need when you need it.
