Description

Ultralight Yet Bright Headlamp

The Nitecore NU20 Classic is a compact, lightweight, USB-C rechargeable headlamp, making it an ideal companion for various activities such as camping, hiking, running, and more. Its ultra-high efficiency (UHE) LED system and unibody optical lens ensure optimal performance, emitting a bright 360 lumen beam that can reach distances of up to 119 yards.

Triple Output Versatility

The NU20 Classic offers remarkable versatility with its three lighting outputs: Primary White Light, Reading Light, and Red Light. When using the primary white light, you can access up to three different brightness levels by short-pressing the power button, or activate the Turbo mode by long-pressing the power button. When the light is off, double-press the power button to access the reading light. Alternatively, switch to the Red Light by short-pressing the R button when the light is off. The red light protects your night vision or is used as a long-lasting signal light with three modes: Low, High, and Slow Flashing. The NU20 Classic also features modes like SOS and Beacon to assist you in any emergency.

USB-C Chargeable

Weighing only 1.34 oz, the NU20 Classic is an ultralight headlamp perfect for backpacking when every ounce matters. Yet, it still can achieve a maximum runtime of 97 hours on its lowest setting. Use the USB-C charging port to fully charge the NU20 Classic in just over 1 hour. A power indicator lets you know when it's time to recharge, and the lockout mode prevents accidental activation. The NU20 Classic is also rated IP66 waterproof and can withstand impacts of up to 1 meter, making it a reliable companion for job sites, everyday tasks, camping, hiking, and more, in any environment.

Nice update on a classic headlamp

This is currently my favorite headlamp. I've been a big fan of the classic discontinued (360 lumen) NU25 and waiting for something with similar low light settings, USB-C charging and power indicator lights. The 400 lumen NU25 lost the low light settings, making it unsuitable for me. This "NU20 Classic" is an almost perfect combination of the old 360 lumen NU25 and the 400 lumen NU25. Unfortunately it has some regressions: the lock-out doesn't work as well as the 360 lumen NU-25 and the cord headband is less comfortable. Nitecore has had a few near misses to making a perfect compact headlamp and this is the closest so far.

Very good, some concerns

Regarding the Classic light body - Perfect. Dual button layout, USB-C port, etc. The user interface is perfect. Battery life is adequate. Durable, simple, very lightweight. Love that you can immediately get to low Red without flashing / strobe'ing white light.

My only concern is the hinge mechanism. It strikes me as delicate. I'm worried about e.g. sitting on it and crunching the plastic hinging parts... no problems yet, but we'll see how it's doing in 6 months. Presently, I've just been careful how it's packed (e.g. in a hip pocket of my backpack for a low chance of stressing the hinge).

Overall, very happy with the classic. Light & cheap enough that you can get extras. I would like if the hinge was replaceable or more rugged, but you can't argue with the superb pack weight and overall design (and price).
