Nitecore HC70 UHE Rechargeable LED Head Torch
The Nitecore HC70 UHE is a rechargeable LED head torch that offers dual light sources, including a primary white LED output and an auxiliary red light output.
It features the new 6-core NiteLab UHE LED, boasting a 21% increase in luminous efficiency for brighter, more energy-efficient, and longer-lasting performance. The TruVision+ technology provides a 2.2 times higher reflective surface than the previous version, offering a soft 100° wide angle beam for excellent peripheral vision, perfect for outdoor activities like climbing, hiking, and caving.
Next to the primary white light is a red auxiliary LED that offers a constant red output with high/low settings and a red flashing setting, preserving night vision for wildlife observation, astronomy, and night photography.
Two buttons on the top of the torch control the HC70 UHE, the larger power button to turn the torch on or off and adjusting brightness levels and the smaller mode button for switching light sources.
To prevent accidental activation the HC70 UHE features a lockout mode.
Powered by the NL2160 the HC70 UHE is easily recharged via the USB port on the side of the head torch. The indicators by the port will slowly flash while charging is in progress, and turn solid once charging is complete.
The rugged unibody aluminium construction provides excellent cooling performance and a sturdy unit that is also lightweight, while the newly designed head band features a curved rubber pad at the back for a comfortable fit to the head and a silicone strip on the inside of the head band to channel away sweat as well as provide a non-slip fit. Additionally the head torch sits in an near centre of gravity bracket which evenly distributes the weight of the headtorch.
