Lightweight headlamp for outdoor activities

The Nitecore NU30 weighs 3.17 oz and delivers up to 500 lumens with a 142 yard beam distance. It is built from durable PC material with an IP66 rating and 1 meter impact resistance. The headlamp suits camping, hiking, running and general outdoor use where a compact hands-free light is needed.

Thermal and power performance in use

The integrated 1500mAh battery provides up to 97 hours of runtime on the lowest mode and recharges fully in 2 hours via USB-C. A battery status indicator shows remaining charge so you can plan recharges. No active cooling is required and the unit runs silently during normal operation.

Triple output modes and red light utility

Three lighting systems are built in: a primary white LED with three brightness levels plus ultralow, SOS and Beacon modes; a reading light with two low brightness settings; and a red auxiliary light with low, high and slow flash modes. The red light preserves night vision and serves as a long lasting signal for camping or emergencies.

Questions about this item

How do I charge the NU30 and which indicator tells me it is full?

Plug a USB-C cable into the port on the lamp body; the built-in battery status indicator shows charge level so you know when the 1500 mAh cell is ready.

What upkeep does the NU30 need after months of trail use?

Wipe the optical lens and USB-C port clean, check the headband elastic for stretch, and recharge the 1500 mAh battery every few months during storage.

How long will the 500 lumen turbo mode actually run before the light steps down?

Turbo draws the most power so the 1500 mAh cell cannot sustain 500 lumens continuously; expect a step-down after a short burst, then lower modes up to 97 hours total.
