The Nitecore HC60 UHE is a compact and powerful rechargeable headlamp that is highly suitable for outdoor activities, working in the dark, and professional use. Thanks to the combination of four single-core UHE LEDs and one dual-core UHE LED, this headlamp delivers strong and versatile illumination, while the additional red light helps preserve night vision.
The lamp runs on an included 18650 Li-Ion battery with 4000 mAh, which can be conveniently charged via the integrated USB-C charging port. The white light offers five brightness levels plus an SOS and emergency mode. The red light features two brightness levels and a warning mode, making the lamp practical in situations where discreet or signalling light is required.
With a 100° side beam angle and a 180° rotatable housing, the HC60 UHE offers excellent flexibility during use. Operation is handled via two switches on the top of the lamp. In addition, the lamp features ATR temperature regulation, a power indicator, and a Lockout Mode to prevent accidental activation.
The housing is made from aerospace-grade aluminium alloy with a HA III hard-anodised finish and special polycarbonate material. This makes the headlamp robust and durable. With an IP68 waterproof rating and 2-metre impact resistance, this lamp is built for demanding conditions. The flexible headband with reflective strips and additional top strap provide a stable and comfortable fit.
