Description
The Nitecore NU25 MCT is the ultimate upgrade to the highly praised NU25 V2 headlamp — now even lighter, brighter, and more efficient. Designed for night runners, campers, and outdoor adventurers, it features a compact and durable build paired with an advanced unibody optical lens system. With triple light outputs and multiple beam settings, the NU25 MCT is the go-to choice for anyone needing hands-free lighting that’s reliable and adaptable. Improved controls, fast USB-C charging, and better power indication make this the most user-friendly headlamp in its class. The new diffusion storage bag allows you to turn your headlamp into a dim nightlight.
Note: This headlamp uses a quick-release attachment for ease of use and safety. As a result, it is best suited to hiking, camping, and general outdoor use, and may not perform as intended for high-impact activities like trail running.

Forget I'm wearing it sometimes with it being so light! Careful don't turn it on whilst facing your eyes because its bright!!

Best head torch ever, easy to use, good brightness options and different colour combinations warm white, daylight etc. Red handy for when you wake up in the middle of the night. Have used it every day since I got it and battery seems to last ages.
M
This torch is so light and has so many features. There are only 2 buttons to push so It took me a while to work out the combination/s to get each feature to work. i love the red light and the very dim light so it doesn't wake others in the hut. It is much brighter than I anticipated. I haven't used it long enough to need recharging yet so I can't comment on how long the battery lasts.

Great bright headlamp , will be perfect for hiking in the dark early mornings on the Camino.

greetings dont have usb on charghing cord...live in bush now have to order cable to use light ..bummer cheers
P
Very nice light. great that you can get to red light without going through white (my previous light did this and it wrecks your night vision).
M
Really amazed at how light this thing is. It's functional and has usb-c charging capabilities and that's all I really need for my use case. Works wonders when you need to go to the toilet in the bush at night
R
The head torch charged to full capacity quickly, works well and performs as advertised. My only irritation is that fine shavings of plastic sheared off the strap bracket when I had to attach the head strap to light (it comes detached in the package). I am hoping this is a one-off occurrence and doesn't happen every time the strap is detached for cleaning then re-attached!

Has all the functions I need at a competitive price
