Nitecore HC68 Focusable Headlamp, 2000 Lumen USB-C Rechargeable with Battery, White and Red Light

Near perfect. Unbelievably bright. The perfect balance of flood and spot. Bragging rights. It's all here. I have my own and I've bought one for my brother. What it gets right:Metal constructionReplaceable battery5 brightness settingsSeparate on off button (why I bought it)Remembers your brightness setting (but turns it down if above medium so you don't blind your friends)Red lightOver the head strapCheap to replacement strap18650sWater tightSelf chargingEasy to use turboStays pretty good even at high outputThis is one of my best purchases of all time. I am just so impressed with the value, even though it is one of the most expensive lights on the market, it's worth it. I use it for all sorts of work outdoors, camping, hiking, etc. Seems like the batteries last forever, and they are so easy to change. I've worn it for hours without my head being tired at all. I really like the adjustable flood vs spot.A tip for use, set the spot ratio somewhere in the center before going to ultra low, and you'll get both lights at 1 lumen. If you change it at ultra low, you only get either.Minor gripes:2000 vs 1800 vs 1400 lumens is pretty similar. Turbo vs high look almost identical, and high vs higher seem to be pretty close (and are the same once the battery loses some voltage), however, 1 lumen vs 45 is a huge difference. I would like more range in the lows and less in the highs for camping. However, this light is more tuned for running and working activities. Red does fill the gap well if you don't mind red. Maybe a 4.8 rating overall for that. I am thrilled with both of mine, not even upset I paid full price for the first.

I live in a rural area & need a headlamp for any night time chores or just walking around the property. I like that the on off switches on the end and easy to find, and the two different control switches are easy to use. I like the red light for battery saving if I'm working in close for a long periods of time. It is the best head lamp I know of. I just lost one and bought another to replace it. Recommend highly

Not many products deserve a five but this one does. All the features you could ever want on a headlamp for all your projects and adventures. Well designed all around including the headband. Only feature I'd would to add a strong magnet to the battery cap side for more multipurpose use or add another type of mount, like what it already has, but more features.

I have an older version of this light and it is very durable. This light provides a focused beam and a wider casting light so you don't blind everyone. I like the red light feature for hunting. Great product.

Really awesome when working on the car, riding a bike or taking a walk at night. Really practical with multiple beam settings ( two LEDs - one wide, one narrow so you can mix and adjust your beam pattern ). Also has a red LED in case your rear bike light is dead and you need something in emergency - just reverse the position on your head you got the rear light. The only minor complaint is that the color temperature is a little towards a green hue, akin to an older mercury vapor lamps, but its really barely noticeable. A little expensive.

I love this light. It has many brightness adjustments and easy to power on and off. Stays on your head and has great adjustability. Would buy again.

Used for Mt. Whitney. Incredible light. Do not buy anything cheap as your life may depend on it.

I bought this headlamp in November of 2022 and I use it for work 5-6 days a week and it has served me well. The brightness settings are perfect I rarely use anything higher than medium which lasts nearly my entire 8 hour shift thankfully. Type C charging port is a major selling point. Everything about this headlamp is perfect. There is only 1 thing I would want improved in the next version of this headlamp, the plastic hardware for the headband it makes it hard to adjust as it's way too easy to accidently bend the plastic bracket out of shape while adjusting the strap which in turn makes it possible for the headband to slip out of the bracket. This could be easily solved by making them out of a light metal suck as aluminum or titanium (preferably those since I work with saltwater all day). I work around saltwater all day for work and corrosion hasn't been an issue with this headlamp as it's made of aluminum. There have been times when I press the button to turn it on and nothing happens but it's happened so few times I could count it on one hand. My review is definitely all over the place as it's my first one. In conclusion after owning for over a year I rate it 4.5/5 an improved headband would easily make this a perfect 5 stars
