Nitecore NU20 Classic Rechargeable LED Head Torch

The Nitecore NU20 Classic is an ultra lightweight rechargeable head torch which blends traditional design with advanced LED technology. 

The primary white light provides a maximum output of 360 lumens from the NiteLab UHE LED which is combined with the unibody optical lens system designed to provide comfort and offers a soft glow with smooth lighting transitions.

The dual auxiliary light offers one white output and red outputs of red high, red low or red flashing outputs, which preserves your night vision and is good for wildlife observation, astronomy and night photography.

The headband design features a double strap of thin elastic the whole way round instead of a traditional headband which has multiple benefits such as reducing weight, reflective properties, glowing in the dark and an easy adjustment toggle for a perfect fit. Additionally the head torch has a hinged bracket, that is hollowed to reduce weight further, and allows the light to be tilted and adjusted.

Four battery indicators are built into the top of the torch and will display remaining battery power when the mode button is pressed once while the light is off. To prevent accidental activation there is also a lockout function.

The NU20 Classic has an integrated 500 mAh lithium-ion battery that is charged via the USB-C charging port on the side of the torch.
