The Nitecore HC60 UHE headlamp has a maximum output of 1600 lumens from the 6 x NiteLab UHE LEDs and is powered by 1 x 18650 li-ion battery. The light comes with a Nitecore NL1840 4000mAh battery which is rechargeable via the USB-C port on the lamp.

The headlamp delivers brilliant illumination, thanks to the multi-faceted optical lens system. The beam is bright yet gentle, perfect for lighting up large spaces, and the soft spill helps reduce eye strain and glare, ensuring comfortable use for a long period.

With a 44 mm (1.73”) wide light emitting surface, it is nearly 3.4 times wider than the HC60 V2. This design gives illuminated objects a more three-dimensional appearance with clear and natural light. In addition to the 6000K cool white primary light, the HC60 UHE also offers an auxiliary red light for signalling, emergency response and preserving night vision.

The head torch is operated by dual buttons on the top of the lamp, which are different in shape and texture to allow for easy one-handed use. The power button turns the light on and off and adjusts the brightness levels, and the mode switch cycles between the light sources and special modes.

Power indicators are located inside the headlamp for an accurate display. Short press the mode button to show the remaining battery power:

1 light = 0 – 25%

2 lights = 25 – 50%

3 lights = 50 – 75%

4 lights = 75 – 100%

The HC60 UHE sits on a lightweight, skin-friendly headband with a breathable design and reflective strips to increase visibility. The mount allows for 180⁰ adjustment to angle the light as you need and can also function to obstruct the switches to prevent accidental activation. Lockout mode can also be entered by pressing both buttons for 2 seconds.
