Nitecore HC33 1800 Lumens High Lumen L-Shaped Headlamp

Loose in the fitting no pad gave me a headache The 1st day I wore it super bright batteries are great. I was hoping to get a replacement of the one I have already which is perfect but now I can't remember the name I've ordered from you guys before but I'll get used to it.

Best headlamp for what I need. Good throw:beam angle. I am a shepherd so need a lamp that will do anything from 2’ to 200’. I tried a hc35 but didn’t seem to have the throw the 33 does. I have 3. I had one fixed by Nitecore. Quickly got it back. It had been dropped on a pile of crushed rock and broke the glass lens.

Multiple intensity levels are good for about every situation that you can get yourself into. Works perfect for my needs whether getting into or out of the woods on lower intensity levels, or tracking an animal after the shot on a higher intensity level.

It's a lot better than I thought it would be.I like it.I use it every day eight hours a day.

I've had several Nitecore headlamps, with my favorites being the HC33 and HC35. If I'm moving about, the HC33 is the ticket. If I'm not moving around so much, the HC35 is what I use. The weight of the HC33 is particularly desirable. I've had my HC33 for perhaps 8-10 years and use it almost daily. I've gone through a few headbands but that is to be expected.

Don’t like it rather have the HC60

Very light, bright, excellent headlight

This is an outstanding head lamp! I’m an HVAC tech and have been using the HC30 model for the past 10 years with absolutely no problems (it still works great), but decided to try the HC33 because of the increased lumens and magnetic feature. I love it! Hopefully it’ll be just as reliable. Thank you Nitecore!

great light durable as well as great to carry a lot smaller than it looks in photos and is great to keep in pocket as well comes with a clip as well nitecore store is great as well if any issues were to come about they see to help you out asap! we have delt with bill in the past and has handled all out needs worry free and at a super fast order thanks guys keep up the great work we need more shops like yours , thanks again Dave J. Smith

I missed that they did not come with a battery or way to charge unlike every other product I looked at. I guess it’s my fault for not reading close enough.

I'm disappointed it didn't come w/ a battery, apparently there's some fine print I missed when I ordered. I just happened to add a battery to my order for a spare. Headlamp works great, good battery life on that "spare" I ordered. Bonus it works w/ my other brands of 18650 batteries unlike some other brands.

For some reason it will not work with fresh charged 34 or 35 hundred nitecore batteries . Shuts down immediately ? Put another in and works sometimes ?

Ran across an HC33 a few years ago and have loved it ever since. I mistakenly bought batteries for a different headlamp and decided to purchase another headlamp which fit the batteries. This one is even better!
All came in good packaging and on time.

Super nice piece of kit. Solid as a little flash light for everyday use, good brightness and throw for what I need. I like the light without the extras, the magnetic tail and head strap just make it even more useful.

I use my HC33 headlamp just about every single night. I own a lot of tools and I don’t use any of them as much as I do this headlamp. It’s the second Nitecore headlamp I own and I can honestly say that they have both been amazing. The battery life is good, lasting me 3-4 days each. The Lowest light setting is very useful if you just need a tiny bit of light. The couple settings in between are low and Turbo are the most useful and where 99% of my usage is. Turbo mode is insanely bright. When you do want to light up EVERYTHING Turbo mode will do it with ease You cannot go wrong when you purchase a Nitecore product.
I also own and use 2 Nitecore chargers daily which I also love. I always have multiple fresh batteries ready to go. Thanks Nitecore for building such great products.

Very good flashlight for the money. Very happy with light. Wish beam pattern was a little smaller. but all is good.

My Nitecore HC33 is just what I needed. Quality is very good and options for lighting is excellent. Shipping was fast. I will recommend to my friends.

I wanted a headlamp without wires, and this meets that expectation. The light is bright, the modes are solid. My issues are that there is no built in charging port. I remove the battery and have to plug it into another charger, or pay extra. I paid extra for the higher quality battery. On one walk, I was unable to get the light to fully cycle through brightness levels, it only would work on the low and 2nd level. Suffice to say, it is now a backup instead of a primary.

i bought the HC33 for the magnetic end cap and higher output. the HC33 is longer, slightly heavier and a lot hotter when in use. compared to the HC30. the spring inside is very tight as well. the color is also whiter, and brighter than the HC30

Amazing how bright and well constructed this lil' device is - I live in a very rural area (i.e. bears, mountain lions) and won't let my dogs out after dark - with this headlamp, it's never dark when I go out now :) Happy Customer

I've purchased several light from Nitecore, very happy with their products as well as their customer service.

I got this light to replace a coast light that I had bought about a year ago. This I a big step up in both quality and brightness level. The button takes some getting used to with all the different modes but this is just a leading curve and not an issue with the head light it’s self.

I just got the lamp I order # HC33 1800 Lumens I'm glad I did its very powerful and lite . Yessss I would recoomend it !!!!!

Great lamp. Using for mtn biking. Was either this or the HC 35 which was significantly heavier. May still buy that one at a later date. But went with the 33 for its smaller size. Ordered a few batteries (one came dented unfortunately).
Lamp works awesome and is super comfy to wear. I love that i can take the lamp out and use it handheld. Much better option than lamps with a dedicated battery....super convenient to swap a fresh battery in at a moments notice. Highly recommend.

My package arrived faster then expect and everything is perfect shape. Will order again!

I was gifted this, but I chose this light. The price point is great. I hike, do search and rescue, I’m also an EMT and it covers all spectrums. I have the 1800 lumens when I need it to look at something in the distance. It is really helpful to have a lightweight flashlight. Carrying a bulky straight flashlight can slow you down. Right angle is super ergonomic and easier to hold. I can also clip it on my shirt for hands free. It limits care to need someone or yourself hold a normal flashlight. The flashlight in the mouth is also unprofessional. You can also just put the light in the strap. I’m now brand loyal to Nitecore, not going back.

I already have a HC30 that was my preferred light source. With this HC33 using 18650 battery, all my "non-18650" lights will be gifts.
The L-shaped is very useful and practical.

Use this light for hunting. Amazed at the brightness and throw from such a small light. It’s been dropped in freezing cold water and mud. It’s been packed away wet and tossed around the bed of a truck. This light is phenomenal. The only gripe I have, is the pocket clip sucks. Pretty much useless. But hey, it’s sold as a head lamp and as a head lamp it exceeded all expectations.

very happy with this unit

This is the best flashlight we've ever had. It is super bright. So when I say it's easy to use (I realize it's a flashlight)...but it truly is intuitive...and we love that it is "convertible" from a headband to pocket carry.
