Nitecore NU20 Classic Ultralight Headlamp, 360 Lumen USB-C Rechargeable Lightweight for Backpacking, Camping, Running with Auxilary White and Red Light

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.

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.

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.

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.

Fantastic little headlamp at a great price. I've carried this on a ton of hikes, climbs, backpacking trips, etc. It is super stowable and light, which makes it a super easy item to include just for emergencies. It does put out a very respectable amount of light too, and huge plus that its rechargeable. Great bit of kit

Unbelievably light and small but the two buttons are easy. Right for red. The shock cord straps are surprisingly comfortable and stay put in my hat or my head, even running. Lack of bulky strap makes it fit in pocket or hip belt

Great design! I finally found a head lamp perfect for backpacking. It's smartly programmed and weighs only 1.3 oz.. If it's been on for a few seconds the next press of a button will turn it off so you don't have to go through all the light modes just to turn it off. There is a button for the white light and another for the red, but only one light is on at a time and the white has priority. The first light mode to come on is the dim mode. There are 3 brightness modes in white and 2 in red and a red flashing mode. There is also a battery charge indicator, and even the head band glows in the dark.
