Nitecore NU25 MCT Rechargeable LED Head Torch

The Nitecore NU25 MCT is a lightweight rechargeable head torch that offers warm white, cool white and neutral white light from the multiple colour temperature (MCT) UHE LEDs, with a maximum output of 400 lumens.

There is also auxiliary red LEDs offering high, low and flashing outputs, as well as SOS and beacon modes from the neutral white LEDs.

Two buttons are located on top, a power button which turns the light on/off and controls the brightness levels of the various LEDs, and a mode button which changes between the white light colour temperatures, gives direct access to red and enters the special modes. Please refer to the manual download for full user instructions.

A lockout function prevents accidental activation of the light when not in use, and can be done be simultaneously holding both buttons for 2 seconds until the light flashes 3 times. To exit lockout hold the buttons down again and the light will come on in neutral white ultra-low.

The headband is comfortable and adjustable with a hollow design for breathability, a silicone strip to channel away sweat and a reflective design for safety and enhanced visibility. Additionally the head torch has a hinged bracket to allow the light to be tilted and adjusted, and comes with a diffusing stuff sack to either store when not in use, or to create a camping lantern.

Four battery indicators sit beside the LEDs and will display remaining battery power when the mode button is pressed once while the light is off. All four lights is approx. 75-100%, three is approx. 50-75%, two is approx. 25-50% and one is approx. 0-25% and the light should be charged as soon as possible.

The NU25 MCT has an integrated 700 mAh lithium-ion battery that is charged via the USB-C charging port on the side of the torch. Reveal the port by lifting the dust cover and then simply plug the included USB-C cable into the charging port and the other end into a suitable USB-C power source. The charging indicators on the top will flash in turn before becoming solid, and once all four indicators are solid after approx. 1 hour, 15 minutes the charging will be complete.
