About this deal

All modes tested were above their rated specs, except for Turbo – but we’re talking a matter of 100 candela, or just over 1m difference between 8500 and 8600 cd.

Note that these are initial/maximum figures – as the battery gets closer to full, the charge rate will slow down. Nitecore HC68 has 5 levels of depth white light (Spotlight) and 5 levels of alluvial white light (Floodlight), 2 special levels (Beacon and SOS) and 3 levels of auxiliary red light. I compare everything to the KillzoneFlashlights.com 219b BLF-348 because it’s inexpensive and has the best tint! Conclusion What I like As per Nitecore’s note in the manual, Turbo lasts for 60 seconds or thereabouts, and then drops hard. It then pulls fairly level with 100% spot on High, although slightly lower due to the excess heat from Turbo.

Just like the tailcap that does come off, the threads here are anodized, fine, very long, and smooth. This setup should mean that the USB-C port is very well protected from elements.

First, there’s a “tailswitch” on the headlamp. Since it’s a headlamp, it’s not really on the “tail” but let’s call it that.Dual lenses provide wide and narrow beams. The level brightness levels of each lens can be adjusted using the buttons. The result is that the focus of the light can be adjusted from very wide and even beam to a narrowly focused beam. Nitecore’s warranty covers DOA or defective products within 15 days direct to the dealer, and then covers repairs for 2 years, due to the inbuilt battery (lights without inbuilt batteries come with 5 years warranty). Install the cell with the button to the inside of the light. (This is the typical orientation for flashlight cells.)

Here’s a review of the new HC68 headlamp by Nitecore. This dual-emitter headlamp with red secondary boasts USB-C charging. Read on for more! The flashlight housing pivots in the headband to allow for different working angles and to prevent blinding fellow campers.

BRIGHTNESS OUTPUTS

If you want to use unprotected cells, that’s doable – I tested this light with a Sony VTC6 and it worked fine. Keep in mind though, the light itself doesn’t have LVP, so you could very well kill a cell by doing so. TIR, спеціально розробленою для освітлення на великі відстані, щоб забезпечити максимальну дальність до 202 метрів та максимальну інтенсивність потоку світла 10300 кд. The light has many options but is still incredibly user-friendly. The infinite adjustment of the light profile and intensity is a unique option that is easy to use. This could be better:

DMM: UNI-T UT139C and UNI-T UT210E – 16AWG wire is used directly into the 139C via some banana plugs, and 8AWG wire in a loop for the UNI-T. The DMM I use depends on how high the expected current will be – I use the 139C for <10A, and the 210E for >10A. Replacing competing brand on SAR helmet. Hands down this is the best lamp I've had over the last 25 years The Nitecore HC68 is a lightweight very powerfulfocusable headlamp. It emits a max brightness of 2000 lumen white light that reaches up to 202meters. You can adjust the beam profile between a focused spotlight and a wide floodlight beam. Its 150° true vision wide-angle flood beam covers your entire field of vision, and the 180° vertical pivot provides you the ultimate control. Ideal headlamp for camping, running, trekking, biking, or any professional work.

The HC68 also features an auxiliary red light which effectively protects night vision, making it ideal for wildlife observation, stargazing, emergency response and night photography. The red LEDs provide low, high and flashing outputs. For the lumen measurements, I won’t be doing the 10-minute measurements on Ultralow and Low – it stands to reason that they’re going to be the same as turn-on, or perhaps only a fraction lower than that. There’s enough modes here to make testing a very lengthy process as it is. Mode Higher” is rated at 30 mins, but with a caveat of thermal regulation disabled. I don’t think that’s something that I can do, so it ramps down and goes along, but still runs for around 2.5 hours.
