Compact 550 lumen headlamp for outdoor use

The Nitecore NU31 is a lightweight headlamp weighing 3.3 oz that delivers a maximum output of 550 lumens with a beam distance of 158 yards. It features a primary white LED with three brightness levels plus SOS and beacon modes. A high CRI auxiliary LED provides smooth flood illumination for close tasks, while a red auxiliary LED helps preserve night vision or serve as a signal light.

Suited for runners campers

This headlamp suits runners, campers and anyone needing hands-free light for extended periods thanks to its 147 hour maximum runtime on the lowest setting. The IP66 rating handles heavy rain and dust during outdoor activities. Buyers who require a headlamp that can also run on standard disposable batteries should look elsewhere as this model relies solely on its built-in rechargeable cell.

USB-C recharge in 1.5 hours decides readiness

The integrated USB-C port recharges the internal battery to full capacity in 1.5 hours, removing the need to carry spare cells. A power indicator shows remaining charge and a lockout mode prevents accidental activation in a pack. If your trips last longer than the 147 hour maximum runtime without access to a USB power source this headlamp will not cover the full duration.
