High-Performance L-Shape Headlamp

The Nitecore HC33 is a versatile L-shaped headlamp built around a CREE XHP35 HD LED. It produces up to 1800 lumens with a throw distance of 204 yards and a peak intensity of 8750 candelas. The design allows quick conversion from a head-mounted light to a handheld torch. A magnetic tail cap and removable pocket clip add hands-free mounting options for work or travel.

Outdoor Users and Hands-Free Workers

This headlamp suits hikers, cyclists and professionals who need a powerful, adaptable beam with long runtime. The five brightness levels and three special modes cover navigation, signalling and close-up tasks. Buyers who require an included power cell or a built-in rechargeable system should look elsewhere, as the HC33 operates on a single high-drain IMR 18650 sold separately.

Single IMR 18650 Power Requirement

The HC33 draws its energy from one IMR 18650 battery capable of more than 8 amps continuous output. This specific cell chemistry delivers the stated 330-hour maximum runtime and supports the 1800-lumen peak. Standard protected 18650 cells or lower-drain chemistries will not meet the performance figures. The battery is not supplied in the package.

Questions about this item

Does the HC33 headlamp come with the 18650 battery or must it be bought separately?

The HC33 requires one IMR 18650 battery with greater than 8A output, which is sold separately; the package includes the headlamp body, headband, magnetic tail cap and removable pocket clip.

Which LED and output version does the HC33 use to reach 1800 lumens?

The HC33 uses a single CREE XHP35 HD LED driven to produce up to 1800 lumens, 8750 peak candelas and a 204-yard throw distance.

How long will the 1800-lumen mode actually run on a charged 18650 cell?

At the maximum 1800-lumen setting runtime is much shorter than the quoted 330 hours, which applies to the lowest brightness level; higher modes consume the battery proportionally faster.
