Nitecore HC33 LED Head Torch

£62.94 £69.90

The Nitecore HC33 is a powerful head torch offering a jaw dropping output of 1800 lumens from a Cree XHP35 HD LED, making it a compact powerhouse.

Due to the high output, the HC33 requires a rechargeable lithium-ion 18650 high drain battery like the Nitecore NL1835HP or a rechargeable lithium-ion IMR18650. Other lithium-ion 18650 batteries can be used, however they need to have a high discharge current of at least 8 A in order to work. The HC33 can also use two CR123A lithium metal non rechargeable batteries, however the turbo setting is unavailable if you are using CR123A batteries.

Featuring a 100° wide angle beam the HC33 will illuminate everything in your field of vision, making it perfect for tasks where seeing around you is essential, such as dog walking, tent building or caving.

The single push button turns the torch on and off by pressing and holding for 0.6 seconds, then once the torch is on a single press will cycle through the modes of Ultra-low, low, mid, high, turbo. Instant turbo from off is accessed by holding the button for 1.5 seconds and instant ultra-low from off is accessed by a single press.

Three special modes of strobe, SOS and location beacon are also available and are accessed by quickly double pressing the button from off and then cycled through with single presses.

The intelligent memory circuit will remember the last brightness setting used, apart from special modes, and will turn back on at that setting. The advanced temperature regulation module allows the HC33 to regulate its output and adapt to the ambient environment to maintain optimal performance.

A built-in battery voltage indicator will display battery voltage each time the battery is installed and the tail cap is tightened. For example if the voltage is 4.2 V, it will flash four times then pause and then flash two more times.

A pocket clip is included so that the head torch can be used stand alone without the headband and clipped to clothing. The magnetic tail cap also allows for hands free use.

Nitecore HC33 LED Head Torch

I have been using a Nitecore HC30 for 5+ years and it has never let me down. So I decided to treat myself to the more powerful HC33. Only used it twice so far but first impressions are very positive, it's just like the brilliant initial model, just with greater power. There's simply nothing to dislike.

Top Quality Head Torch

This is my third Nitcore product and I'm thrilled with it. Its absolutely tiny but performs like the MH25GT. Seen no temp throttling on "turbo" mode. Even if you are thinking of a handheld torch put this on your short list. it works as both hand held and head torch and its so handy on dog walks or working on the car with both hands are free. Make sure you buy through a reputable store like this one as there are knock offs of all the big brands out there and they just don't work like this.

Quality Flashlight

Excellent service as usual from torchdirect. The HT18R is a really good thrower, and the usual Fenix quality. The red and green filters are also good for searching for wildlife.

Fenix HT18R Long Range LED Hunting Torch
So far so good!

This torch has made finding addresses in the dark much easier, hope it lasts!

Light up my lock

Neat little torch, perfect for finding the keyhole on a dark night.
Arrived quickly. Recommend copying instructions from the website as the packaging instructions are too small to read.

Very good

William B.
Nitecore NU27 Rechargeable LED Head Torch
Tiny and excellent

This torch is tiny, so will fit in any bag, pocket and household nook; and yet the light is powerful. I bought one last year and this year I've returned to buy more as presents and for myself.

Arrived quickly and well packaged. Only had it a few days. No problems so far. Works as described.

Finaly a 16340 that charges

Grate idea for a battery, I use it for a laser pointer.
Have had issues with charging thies smaller cells on typical 18650 size charger or simmiler chargers.
Battery works really well on the laser pointer + no need for a additional single cell charger.
Highly reccomended type for torches and other devices using 1 cell and charged a fue times / when needed.

Good service, good range of quality products

Maglite is difficult to source in the UK, but this company made it easy and at a market-related price

Happy

Good little torch, just right for me.

I had an issue with the torch not working, but torch direct sorted this out quickly and my replacement worked perfectly.

Karen D.
Nitecore TIKI UV & White Rechargeable LED Key Ring Torch
Fast delivery. Good product. Good price.

Excellent budget torch (LED headlamp). The three white light options are excellent. The red nightlight option is perfect for camping/unobtrusive night use as it is a very low level localised red wash —NB not be ideal as a bicycle backlight — unlike some previous versions made by silverlight…but perfect for preserving night vision in the dark.

JONNY G.
Silverpoint Scout XL220R Rechargeable LED Head Torch
Great item with certain advantages over built in battery lights

This is a very useful light indeed. I bought it to supplement a built in battery COB work light, as a back up for extended use. It has the advantage of replaceable batteries so is absolutely perfect for my use. It would also be a very good back up in case of power cuts etc in a domestic situation given the easy availability of AA batteries. Obviously it was supplied by Torch Direct with their usual excellent service.

Nice torch

Nice torch - very bright. It took me a while to find out how to expose the USB charging point, but once you know it's easy. I haven't used it enough to verify the battery times, yet, but so far it is impressive. It would have been nice to be able to vary the narrowness of the beam.

D.J.
Fenix PD32R LED Torch
Superb torch

What a torch. Small and lightweight but its beam is astonishing. I bought it for evening dog walking, for which it's ideal.
It may seem a little expensive, but it isn't. With this little gem you get what you pay for.

Olight Baton 4 Rechargeable LED Torch
A proper key ring torch at last

This Armytech prime c1 torch is expensive, but previous rechargeable key ring torches were always dead when you came to use them. So far this has been excellent. It is ridiculously bright for a key ring torch, although it is very easy to get used to using this as a proper torch. Probably slightly too large for a keyring, but I use it anyway, and am very pleased with it. I Like the standard lithium battery (18350) which can be replaced.
