I tried the Nitecore headlamp for a solo night run in a forested park, where there were absolutely no lights.
The Nitecore was sublime. The 800 lumens were sufficiently bright, and the throw was far enough to light up my path. The weight was almost not there. I really enjoyed it and am looking for more adventure night runs with my Nitecore. Thank you!

Using this headlamp for early morning runs and night trail runs has made a huge difference to my visibility and confidence on the trails. I've always had difficulty running in low-light conditions, but this has helped me see the terrain much more clearly and navigate safely.
It's also an excellent piece of gear for trail races that start before sunrise, providing reliable illumination when it matters most. Definitely a worthwhile addition to my running kit.

Excellent lighting very bright just what i needed
Uddinazman5/5
Really have been digging this head torch. The quality of it is much better than the cheapo ones I've used in the past. It turns on by holding down the power button for a second. You will have to hold it, because a quick press will not turn it on. Once it is on, you can just click the power button to cycle through the different brightness modes, and there is a "MODE" button that changes the hue of the light. There is a more warm yellow light, a bright white light, and one that is kind of in between. I really like the warmer yellow light, great feature. The light can be angled down quite a bit, which is nice when doing work with your hands while using it. I would definitely buy this again, and just so you all know, there is a rechargeable battery pack for this from Nitecore. It costs about $13, and I think it is worth it, considering disposable batteries don't last too long, so the costs will mount fast if you use this thing much.

Works really well when clipped to a cap. Absolutely love it!

I needed a headlamp for some work in my very dim basement. So glad I found this one! It comes complete with batteries and everything. Super easy to set up & use. The headband is very comfortable, lightweight and the lamp stays in place so well, I forgot I was wearing it at times! There are multiple brightness & Kelvin color temperature settings, which I personally love because I am sensitive to some color temps. This head lamp is very adjustable to get just right fit, lighting, etc.

The minute I took this headlamp out of the box, I had a good feeling it was going to live up to my expectations. And it has. The build quality is as good as I’ve seen in some of the top name brands. And to seal the deal, the wide angle lighting is flat out impressive. From all that I can see, the HA23 UHE model from NITECORE has what it takes to meet the demands of even the most challenging applications. Here’s a few ✅ The head band has been detailed with premium features, making it an important component of headlamp performance.• The headband is made from stretch webbing that’s good quality and just about 1-inch wide. The fabric has a unique grippy texture and a bead of silicone on the inside surface. Taken together, the headband is purpose built, designed to have a no-slip quality.• The headband fabric is perforated to promote air circulation. The ventilation should keep the head cool when wearing the headband for extended periods.• The headband webbing has a firm stretch and excellent resilience. These properties should help retain the shape of the headband, even after extended use.• Headband sizing adjustments are made with a tri-glide slide buckle. It has a solid grip on the webbing that keeps adjustments from loosening during use.• Overall, the headband provides excellent support for the lamp, and it's comfortable to wear.✅ The headlamp has powerful LEDs. There are 3 different color temps (3000K, 4500K, & 6500K), and each puts out a wide beam that can be adjusted to one of four different intensities (ULTRALOW, LOW, MEDIUM, HIGH). LOW sheds enough light for most applications within a distance of 10-ft. While on HIGH, I can distinguish detail out to at least 50 yards. However, I’m not so sure about the advertised spec of 144 yards on HIGH. Regardless, when I compared the intensity at each setting to a top name brand headlamp that I’ve had for about 5 years, the NITECORE model was superior at all brightness levels.✅ Hybrid power. Runs on either 3xAAA alkaline batteries (included) or a NITECORE rechargeable battery (not included).✅ Get caught in a rainstorm? No problem. Drop the headlamp in a large body of water, and it sinks down a few feet? Still no problem. This headlamp has IP68 rating, and the company has the permissible submersion depth advertised at 2m.✅ `Impact resistance rated at 1m.✅ The headlamp comes with a clip for mounting on a ball cap or similar headgear. This feature takes the versatility to a level that fixed headlamps can’t match.✅ Full-Tilt (90°) headlamp with detents or positive stops at predetermined tilt angles. The user will experience a “click” at each preset angle. This feature will keep the headlamp at the set angle without slipping out of position.✅ 60-month warranty. Beat that!❗️As good as this headlamp is, and it is very good, I’m not too keen on how the yellow tinted lighting (3000K and 4500K) is prioritized in the selection sequence over the more technically oriented cool white light (6500K). The fact is, yellow tinted lighting just doesn’t pull out detail the way lighting does that’s on the cooler end of the spectrum. And for that reason, most technical headlamps feature cool color temperatures, not warm yellow. I doubt I’ll ever use the yellow color temps. But yet every time I use this headlamp, I have to cycle through the yellow to get to the white light. Not a big deal, but annoying just the same. The 4500K setting has a distinctive yellow tint that’s not typically seen with neutral white light. I suspect it might be warmer than 4500K.❗️If the lights had memory, the above issue would go away. Unfortunately, the lights don’t have memory. So once again, I’ll be cycling through the yellow-tinted white lights to get to the cool white light every time I use this headlamp.❗️I also don’t understand why a rechargeable battery wasn’t included. Scratch that, I do understand. This decision is clearly an attempt to keep the price down. However, if you want to use this headlamp to its fullest capability and efficiency, you’ll have to invest another $12.95 to purchase a NITECORE brand rechargeable battery. It’s the old “pay me now or pay me latter” routine. In this case, it will be “pay me later” if you want to get the most from the headlamp. Indeed, according to the specs, the burn times of the rechargeable battery on HIGH is twice as long as what AAA batteries can provide. Is the rechargeable battery worth it? For me it sure is.❗️The two control buttons (one for color, one for intensity) aren’t the easiest to find by touch alone. Even though the manual describes them as being designed for easy one-handed operation. I don’t agree. It would have been better if the buttons were elevated a bit more above the surface of the lamp housing.❓The one spec I haven’t had a chance to evaluate is the Brightness-to-Burn Time (BBT) ratio. For example, I have a headlamp from one of the top name brands and it has a BBT ratio of 50:50. That is, it retains 50% of its original brightness halfway through the burn time (i.e. battery charge). I know with budget headlamps the BBT is usually much less. Maybe only 25:50. So hopefully this model is more like the top contenders.👍 RECOMMENDATION 👍Despite the few bumps in the road that I mentioned, I’m happy to give this NITECORE headlamp a strong 4-star rating and my recommendation. It’s a great product and a good value at the current price of $29.95. And even if you add the cost for the rechargeable battery, the total cost is less than what you’d have to pay for a top name brand. So for me, the choice is easy. I’d go with the NITECORE brand.

This is a great headlamp. It has many useful features. The interface is pretty simple to use and doesn't take much to memorize. The light output is great for its weight and runtime. I really like that you get 3 brightness settings plus an extra low setting (not quite a moon glow, but great for moving around camp or inside a house) and that you also get two brightness settings for the red light. I like that you can lock out the buttons so you don't accidentally turn it on and drain your batteries (backpackers). Speaking of, you can also check the battery status with a single click (works for AAA batteries as well). The beam pattern is a really nice combination of flood and spot, I'm loving that. There aren't any hot spots and yet it throws the light really well, too. The head strap is comfortable and has a line of silicone or something inside the front half to keep it from sliding down. There is a large range of motion for tilting the light up and down. The light weighs 1.97oz on my scale without batteries and 3.17oz with the three AAA batteries. You also get a nice little drawstring bag to hold it.For ultralight backpackers, they commonly use the Nitecore NU25. It's 1.75oz for the full head strap and slightly less for the elastic cord version. The battery is built it on it and 400 lumens. I think you get a better value with this light. It's only slightly heavier, you get 600 lumens, and you have the option of using a rechargeable lithium battery or AAA batteries. Regular alkaline batteries are generally easy to find in emergency situations. Also, the NU25 has an IP66 waterproof rating, whereas this light has slightly better IP68 rating and says you can dunk it up to 2ft of water, iirc. This light is also currently $10 cheaper than the NU25.For critiques, I think this light should include the lithium battery pack and ditch the AAA batteries that are included. The lithium battery is just $13 but should be available as a combo package, if is not already (maybe in another listing? I'm not sure). Also, I have a ton of flashlights and I'm used to picking the led temperature as an option. I feel like we might be able to save a little bit of money by not having two temperature LEDs built in (warm led, cool led, both used for neutral temp). Generally, people prefer one temperature over others and I don't there is much of a need for swapping temperatures. Maybe it's just easier for them to make all the lights the same, who knows.In summary, this is a really great light and it seems like they have tried to include a ton of features (except rechargeable battery). You'll be really happy with it unless you're an ultralight hiker, lol. This is a well known brand and you can trust their products.

This light is so with the $$. Really good quality with lots of good features. I love that it is light weight so it can be worn for hours. Batteries are included!

I am always looking at ways to improve my gear and any time I can find a product that does more than one thing, it is likely to become my new favorite. My husband ordered this NiteCore light for me knowing that I could use it as a head lamp, on my hat, or on my backpack to light the path. I generally do not like headbands but the band itself is comfortable and the light is not particularly heavy on my head. My preferred method will be to attach the light using the included clip to something else. The light currently is running on 3 AAA batteries and also has an option to work on a battery pack or other AAA lithium batteries. Great option to know I can just change the batteries if needed instead of trying to recharge while on the trail somewhere. Light has options and settings as well. All in all, this is an excellent light with great versatility to meet whatever need I have at the moment. Happy to recommend.

This "miner's lamp" has a warm-light setting perfect for reading in the dark. Finding one with this feature has been harder than I thought. So, upon initial experience, this is a very happy purchase!

If you need a high-quality headlamp, this is the one for you. You can buy one for less and use it for a few days, but if you want a reliable flashlight from a reputable brand, rest assured, it's worth the money.

Mamanfbr449m5/5
I bought 2 of these headlights, one as a gift and the other one for myself. I'm planning on using it to hike the tallest mountain in my country.Pros:1) I'm impressed by how bright it is, definitely an option worth considering for long hikes in the woods.2) The clever design it has to manage heat very efficiently. The heat sink allows the light to sustain it's brightness for a long time!3) The headlamp is very lightweight (exactly 100g according to my kitchen scale) and the headband feels very comfortable too, making it a great option for long walks at night.4) The battery runs for a very long time, but the option to switch from it's rechargeable battery to standard AAAs makes this headlamp incredibly convenient, specially if there is limited access to energy to recharge the battery. Consider buying a separate rechargeable battery as the highest lumen output (turbo mode) can only be accessed through it because of it's energy output compared to AAAs.5) The red light is very useful to read things at night without compromising your night vision and can also be switched to a flashing red light to attach it to a backpack using the belt clip when riding a bike for increased visibility.6) I found the belt clip to be very useful whenever I don't feel like carrying the light on my head, just attach it to a backpack strap and keep moving!Cons:I don't know if it's just me, but I honestly haven't stumbled upon any cons so far. This headlamp has performed perfectly for what I usually use it (hiking at night, camping, and as an emergency light).I would totally recommend this light, and in fact, I'm now planning on buying one for my wife for our hiking adventures.

The different lumen settings are great. I used it in a crawl space & it lit the space better than expected. It also works great at night. The adjustable headband is comfortable & extremely helpful when you need to use your hands. The price is reasonable.

Azmi S.5/5Verified
Works well and is pretty bright.The battery lasts a very long time.I’ll use it for fishing at night and working under my car or at night.The only con for me is that the strap sometimes pops out of its guide when you try to adjust it.
Nick T.4/5Verified
It’s plenty bright enough to work with and the yellow color is great for night fishing and I love the clip so I can put it on my jacket or a hat. Had it out in the rain for a couple hours it worked fine. Bought a 1500 MH battery for it to give me extra time and I love the use of batteries.
Chris5/5Verified
I do BT trail using it and it works very well at a lower lumen setting.
So no complains
Saket S.5/5Verified
Awesome budget headlamp! Bright multiple color and brightness levels.
Danielle5/5Verified
This is the brightest headlamp I've every used that uses AAA batteries. I use rechargeable 1.5v AAA lithium batteries in them and they stay bright all they way until shut-off. I love that I can change the color temperature with these for different scenarios.
