It’s comfortable to wear, and will most likely find its way into the set of headlamps I leave lying around the place after I do a few small modifications, as per the next paragraph. The way the USB-C is protected is really well engineered and executed: a bit less easy to access compared to the classic USB rubber port, but definitely sturdier and more robust, both in terms of water resistance and of long-term longevity.

Briefly press the mode button for a quick check; the HC68 will flash once (almost empty) up to three times (full). I’m somewhat of a headlamp tragic; my most-used lights are probably my Zebralight H600fc and H32, so I’m interested to see if this is worthy of adding to the rotation – or at least to leave out where I’m likely to grab it. Nitecore HC68 has a light output of 2,000 lumens and is powered by a 18650 lithium battery that can be recharged via the USB-C port. On the inside is a silicone strip that will aid in keeping the Nitecore HC68 headlamp in place on your head.There’s very similar results with both Apple adapters, so there’s no benefit in charging USB-A or USB-C. REVIEW – I don’t camp much, but a recent experience trying to troubleshoot a problem under my daughter’s Suzuki SX4 inspired my need for a good headlamp. The flashlight was provided by Nitecore for the review, but I always try to give you my genuine experiences and opinion, it is why most companies stopped sending me flashlights.

If it’s not needed, it can be removed and the light can be hand-carried or does a dandy head-or tail-stand. The HC68 is wrapped in a compact cardboard box which takes a while to open (if you want to make sure the box does not tear). I ended up purchasing the Nitecore HC68 and I like it but it's a bit heavy and even though the battery is a 3600 mAh battery, it only provides 6 hours of spotlight at 250 lumens. In the centre of the main LEDs there are two red auxiliary LEDs that offers a constant red output with high/low setting and a red flashing setting.

Includes: Nitecore NL1835HP 18650 3500mAh li-ion battery, spare o-ring, USB-C charging cable, headband, bracket. A striking detail is the double head with a shallow and somewhat deeper lens/reflector that contains two SST-40-W LED lights.

The HC68 itself doesn’t have any voltage warnings – on bench power, I was able to wind the power down to 2. The spring on the battery tailcap is actually a double-spring system, which is quite nice; good for lowering resistance and helping stabilise output.
