Powerful and versatile 2,000 lm headlamp with a long 258 m beam distance and three selectable color temperatures. Its lightweight yet durable magnesium body, versatile special modes, and USB-C fast charging make it a reliable companion for both work and outdoor activities. 4,000 mAh battery included.
Nitecore HC65 MCT is a powerful and versatile headlamp that delivers up to 2000 lumens and a beam distance of 258 metres. Thanks to Nitecore's MCT technology, the user can choose between three different colour temperatures depending on the application and conditions: warm 3000 K light with an exceptionally high CRI 98 colour rendering index, neutral 4500 K light, and bright 6500 K cool white light. In addition, the HC65 MCT features a separate red light with two brightness levels for preserving night vision, a flashing red light, and SOS and Beacon special modes. Five brightness levels are available for white light. Thanks to its versatile features, the lamp is an excellent choice for hiking, running and outdoor activities as well as demanding professional use.
The HC65 MCT is powered by the included 4000 mAh Nitecore NL1840HP Li-ion battery. Thanks to its energy-efficient design, the lamp provides up to 40.5 hours of runtime at 100 lumens and as much as 154 hours in the lowest 8-lumen mode. The battery is charged directly in the lamp via USB-C, and thanks to 18 W fast charging, a full charge takes approximately 1 hour and 20 minutes with a compatible charger. Four integrated LED indicators show the remaining battery level.
The HC65 MCT housing is made from lightweight and durable magnesium alloy, allowing the complete lamp to weigh just 146 grams including the battery, headband and mount. Designed for demanding use, the housing features a hard-anodised finish, while the IP68 protection rating means the lamp is completely dustproof and can withstand immersion in water to a depth of 2 metres. It is also impact resistant to drops from up to 2 metres. One-year (12-month) warranty!
