Nitecore NU25 MCT USB-C Rechargeable Headlamp

Ultralight 400 Lumen Headlamp with Three Colour Temperatures and Red Light

The Nitecore NU25 MCT is an ultralight rechargeable headlamp for tramping, hiking, camping, trail running, hunting, emergency kits, and hands-free work after dark. It weighs just 50g with the bracket and headband included, while still giving you up to 400 lumens and a 132 metre beam distance.

Its biggest advantage is the MCT lighting setup. You can switch between 3000K warm light, 4500K neutral white light, 6500K cool white light, and red light, making it easier to match your beam to wet tracks, fog, campsite tasks, night navigation, or low-light work.
