Overview
Not a USB rechargeable lamp, this Nitecore headlamp runs on a single AA cell, so spare power is easy to find anywhere. A dual-core LED drives white and red light, and the body tilts on a bracket or clips to a cap brim.
Barely noticeable weight and a common battery make it a sensible backup or everyday camp light. Output is modest, so fast night travel calls for a brighter lamp.
Who it's for
Campers, hikers and travelers who want a tiny lamp for camp chores and reading. Those moving fast in the dark need more output.
Pros and cons
- Very light on the head
- Runs on common AA cells
- Red light for night vision
- Clips to a cap brim
- Modest top output
- Li-ion cell sold separately
- No built-in charging
Performance notes
Output and runtime depend on the cell: an alkaline AA sags under high draw, while the optional Li-ion cell holds output better. The dual-core LED improves efficiency, which is what stretches runtime on the low modes.
