Nitecore HC65 MCT

Nitecore/Headlamp

Nitecore HC65 MCT

Nitecore's newest headlamp and the current top of the HC65 line, in a magnesium body with a multi-colour-temperature UHE emitter rated CRI 98 plus a red secondary. Turbo is 2,000 lumens for three hours on the included 4,000 mAh 18650, high is 1,300 lumens for six, and the housing is sealed to IP68. At 5.1 ounces with battery, bracket and headband it is heavier than a built-in-cell headlamp, and the price sits at the upper end for an 18650 light.

Beam profile

Balanced, about 22° wide. A usable hotspot with enough spill to see around it.

Estimated from 2,000 lm ÷ 16,709 cd — how this works
