Lightweight 1400 lumen headlamp
The Nitecore NU43 headlamp delivers up to 1400 lumens with a beam throw over 142 yards while weighing just over 4 ounces. It combines a primary spotlight for distance viewing with a floodlight for close tasks and an auxiliary red light to preserve night vision or signal. The wider, breathable headband is designed for comfort during extended wear in running, hiking or outdoor work.
USB-C charging and proximity sensor
The built-in USB-C port recharges the headlamp fully in under 2 hours and provides over 10 hours of runtime on high or up to 165 hours on ultralow. A proximity sensor automatically dims the output when objects are approached, reducing glare and reflection while preventing overheating. The package includes the headlamp, headband and USB-C charging cable.
Check headband fit and charging access
Verify the headband adjustment suits your head size and intended activity level before ordering. Ensure you have a USB-C power source available for recharging in the field or at home. The red light mode is intended for night-vision preservation and signalling rather than general illumination.

Questions about this item
How often will the built-in battery need replacing if I use the NU43 daily?
The internal cell is not user-replaceable; the headlamp is designed to be recharged via USB-C rather than having its battery swapped out.
What stops the 1400-lumen turbo from running continuously?
The proximity sensor dims the beam automatically when an object is detected, and thermal protection reduces output to prevent overheating.
How hot or loud does the NU43 get during an all-day shift?
It runs silently with no fan; the sensor and thermal regulation keep the housing warm but not uncomfortably hot during extended use.
