Product Review
The NITECORE HC65 USB rechargeable headlamp is more powerful than the popular HC60 headlamp by adding secondary red & high CRI LEDs. The primary CREE XM-L2 U2 LED provides 1000 lumen wide-angle output beam capable of a 120 yard throw. A high CRI auxiliary white light renders colors more like sunlight while an auxiliary red light helps users preserve night vision in dark environments.
A single switch located on the side of the unit provides one-handed operation to seven brightness levels and four special modes. A built-in power indicator allows users to check battery levels anywhere. While the included 18650 battery, built-in micro-USB charging port and charging cable provides a complete recharging system when connected to any USB power source, making this headlamp perfect for travel. Durable metal construction and an IPX8 waterproof rating ensures the headlamp can withstand indoor/outdoor elements and is ready for your next adventure!
