The Nitecore NU20 Classic is an ultra-lightweight outdoor headlamp designed for adventurers who prioritize both performance and portability. This latest iteration revisits the iconic design of the original NU20, first introduced in 2016, and its successor, the NU25, launched in 2017. Both models set new standards in lightweight headlamp design, earning widespread acclaim from outdoor enthusiasts and professional reviewers alike. The NU20 Classic retains this celebrated design while integrating the latest in LED technology to deliver superior performance in a compact, user-friendly package.
Weighing a mere 38 grams (1.34 ounces), the NU20 Classic is crafted from lightweight PC materials, ensuring that it feels almost weightless during wear. The headlamp's reflective yet featherlight headband is designed for maximum comfort, making it ideal for extended use during outdoor activities like hiking, trail running, or camping. The minimal weight and ergonomic design mean that users can focus on their adventure without being distracted by discomfort or bulk.
At the heart of the NU20 Classic is the new UHE LED, a significant upgrade over the XP-G2 LED used in the NU25. This advanced LED technology offers a 16.6% increase in luminous efficiency, enabling the headlamp to produce up to 360 lumens with a beam distance of 109 meters. This represents a 35% improvement in range compared to the NU25, making the NU20 Classic even more effective for illuminating trails, campsites, or any environment where reliable lighting is essential. The headlamp's unibody optical lens system features various facets that ensure a smooth, even beam, with soft transitions that are easy on the eyes, even during prolonged use.
The NU20 Classic is equipped with a built-in 500mAh Li-ion battery that provides up to 5 hours of runtime at 200 lumens, ensuring that it can last through most nighttime activities without needing a recharge. When it does require recharging, the NU20 Classic now features a USB-C port, replacing the older Micro-USB. This upgrade allows for faster charging and greater convenience, as the USB-C port is compatible with the charging cables of most modern devices, reducing the number of cables you need to carry.
In addition to its primary white light, which has a color temperature of 6,000K, the NU20 Classic also features a high CRI (≥90) auxiliary white light with a warmer color temperature of 4,500K, providing more natural color rendering. This is particularly useful for tasks that require accurate color perception, such as reading maps or identifying objects in the dark. The headlamp also includes an auxiliary red light, which is ideal for preserving night vision and minimizing disruption to wildlife, making it a versatile tool for a wide range of activities.
The user interface of the NU20 Classic is intuitive and easy to operate with one hand, thanks to its dual-button design. This interface allows users to easily switch between the seven brightness levels, three light sources, and three special modes, which include a location beacon, SOS, and slow flashing. Four power indicators provide real-time feedback on the remaining battery power, ensuring that you are always aware of how much runtime you have left.
The headlamp is also built to withstand the rigors of outdoor use, with an IP66 rating for dust and water resistance and the ability to survive drops from up to one meter. The highly efficient constant current circuit (non-PWM) ensures stable output without flickering, while the ultra-low standby power consumption keeps the headlamp ready to use for up to 365 days in standby mode.
With its combination of cutting-edge technology, lightweight design, and robust construction, the Nitecore NU20 Classic is a highly versatile and reliable headlamp. Whether you are an avid hiker, a dedicated trail runner, or someone who simply needs a dependable light source for outdoor activities, the NU20 Classic offers the perfect blend of brightness, comfort, and durability. Its advanced features, including multiple light sources, USB-C recharging, and a high CRI auxiliary light, make it a standout choice for those who demand the best in their gear.
