Description

600 Lumen Multi Color Temperature Headlamp

The Nitecore HA23 UHE is a lightweight and versatile headlamp powered by 3 commonly available AAA batteries (included), perfect for everyday tasks, camping, hiking, running, and more. It delivers a bright 600 lumen beam that reaches up to 144 yards, and for extended runtime, it’s compatible with the Nitecore HLB1500 rechargeable battery. Featuring Multiple Color Temperature (MCT) LEDs, the HA23 UHE allows you to switch between warm, neutral, and cool light, optimizing visibility and comfort for any weather, terrain, or lighting condition. Warm Light (3000K) is easier on the eyes and cuts through fog and rain, Neutral White (4500K) provides a balanced, natural illumination for daily activities, and Cool White (6500K) enhances visibility in outdoor environments. The HA23 UHE also offers up to four brightness levels, as well as a Red Light mode to protect night vision or function as a long-lasting signal light with Low, High, and Slow Flashing settings. Additionally, SOS and Beacon modes ensure you’re prepared for any emergency.

Dual Fuel Options

With the included AAA batteries, the HA23 UHE offers a maximum runtime of 97 hours on its lowest setting, while the USB-C rechargeable Nitecore HLB1500 battery extends runtime up to 125 hours. A built-in power indicator lets you know when it’s time to recharge, and a lockout mode prevents accidental activation.

Durable and Adventure-Ready

Designed for all-day comfort, the HA23 UHE features a lightweight, breathable headband and weighs just 3.17 oz. It’s an ideal companion for night running, outdoor adventures, or camping trips. Built to withstand the elements, the HA23 UHE is rated IP68 waterproof and impact-resistant up to 1 meter. Whether you’re tackling daily tasks or braving the great outdoors, this durable and versatile headlamp is ready for any adventure.

Best value I’ve found so far.

I’ve owned a number of headlamps from very inexpensive to fairly high end, and used them for everything from dog walking to search and rescue. This is just a great, lightweight, “do everything” headlight. Fairly light weight, plenty bright, and runs on reliably AAA batteries. I’ve owned and used a number of headlamps for everything from dog walking to search and rescue in blizzards, and this is the best “everyday” headlamp I’ve owned to date.

The HA23 is a wonderful step up from the HA11 I purchased a while back

The HA23 is a wonderful step up from the HA11 I purchased a while back, I really love the different color temperatures, and the batteries last a good bit longer too. Great job!

Nitecore HA23 UHE Camping Headlamp

Great product for illuminating my world!

Excited to have a WARM WHITE headlamp!

Excited to have a WARM WHITE headlamp! I'm light sensitive and miss the yellow flashlights I knew as a kid (I'm not even 30 so it's not like I'm old). I can't stand the harsh white, washed out light of ultra bright white lights. Thank you nitecore for making a warm white option for weirdos like me.

Great light but it cam without the clip

Great light. I bought 2, but only one came with the clip to attach to put on the brim of the hat

Better hinges?

I bought the HA23 because my UT27 battery door hinge broke, leaving me with two battery packs and a broken light. I noticed the HA23 had sturdier hinges AND it uses the same battery as the UT. I bought it so I wasn't wasting my nice new battery packs also. I haven't used it alot yet, but the HA looks like a great headlamp! I like most of Nitecore's products.
