Such good practical reviews on these products. Explains all the functions in detail. A lot of useful tips and common sense knowledge is also dispensed as well. Top notch stuff ❤
I am not a law enforcer but I'm thinking of getting this for self defense, i'am an engineer and mountain leader often volunteering for many charities. This torch ticks all the boxes both lumens , range and size. I can benefit for it's dual use purpose. The search and rescue on this will be amazing. I hope I win :)
I have a few different Nitecore flashlights for different applications throw, flood and colour. One thing I realised when we had a bad storm come through was with a flashlight, one hand was tied up to hold the light, making it hard to clear the road of trees. This would complement my kit, freeing my hands and illuminating the night.
The HC65 UHE looks like a great option to use as a duty light for search & rescue, medical, and law enforcement. For those situations, high CRI, red light, floodlight, and long runtimes are a must. I own several different headlights from Fenix, Olight, and Nitecore. In several kits or bags, I keep a simple Nitecore NU10 or similar 'cheap' value model as a backup. Personally, I prefer high CRI lights. I don't see where a cool white light with poor color rendering could have an advantage over a high CRI light. I would rather sacrifice a few lumens and be able to get a more accurate picture with the true colors. Just my preference.
Just what iv been waiting for! Thanks Guys!
Already got this! Planning to use it with my P23i for the first time this weekend on a solo night trekking 💪
Definitely need this new headlamp for my Maclehose trail hike in October! First proper overseas hiking/camping trip, so I'm super stoked!
I’m at avionics aircraft technician. I’ve been using the HC60 since 2017 and it has served me well over the years but recently the battery has deteriorated by abit. This new HC65 will be much better for my field of work during my night shifts working in pitch black conditions in dead aircraft MECs or remote taxiways. 😊
Hey! I was using a very old headlight. It is an energizer light. It runs on 3AAA batteries and I always use it during a night bike ride in the forest. I always find the battery running out after a couple hours, even when I'm on the lowest mode. I had my eyes on the HC65 UHE for a very long time right now, and it looks very promising! This light would be so useful during a camping trip, when I need to look for directions at night, and can be good for self-defense. Thank you guys for innovating and improving the light market! Thank you Nitecore!
I use: NU25 UL , NU35 & NU43 ;)
I've been using my Granddad's old head torch sometimes while going trekking. This light is an awesome light to have😊🔦
Very intelligent commentary, lots of good aspects and uses mentionned. Thanks.
Much appreciated!
I’m using the olight mini perun 2 I like your vids they’re always informative & entertaining keep up the good work 👍👍
I have the tip cri. I use it everywhere! It’s amazing, but this headlight seems perfect for trekking. This light is much brighter and would be amazing for the nighttime. Good luck to everyone!
Im using a really old headlight I bought from Maplins.. and thats why I would love one!
Got mine last 3weeks hc65uhe, use to have hc50… the best floodlight for my permanent night job walking in the dark around 1am till 4am… 10 out of 10!👍
I love and enjoyed this nitecore video.
I have NU35 and I'm eyeing this HC65 UHE!
Running the nu50 for running and hunting and love it!🤙
I'm currently using this HC65UHE headlamp and coincidently today is my 1st day of use. Primary I'll be using it as a mountain biking trail/ offroad headlight. Pairing it with the HLB40 bracket with GoPro mount on the handlebars is excellent. No vibrations or whatsoever. They are flush with the Stem and Handlebars resulting in very sleek looking cockpit. Although this is a flood light, "twisting" the lamp facing downwards won't blind oncoming pedestrians when I'm on PCN or Green Corridor. I'm also pairing it together with a MH15 mounted on helmet for a more "Spot" light throw. But mainly is the powerbank features that I will be carrying in case I need charging up other electronics. And I'm awaiting the arrival of most important device, The e-pump EBP10mini by Nitecore too. Thus, these 3 items will be my EDC for my MTB night rides.
This looks great 8 core led is interesting I currently use a hc35 myself love it
After i saw your review of the previous model the hc 68 i made the purchase and was verry happy and impressed with it ,more so than the ledlennzer i owned before .Sadly it was stolen from my pickup truck last week leaving me once more in the dark ..... i hope who ever stole it wil have a severe nutsack itch and cramp that lasts for as long as it will take me to save up for a new nitecore headlamp!
I have the NU35. I am looking forward to it. Good luck!
Im currently using a Milwaukee headlamp. Mainly used for reassembling equipment and doing critical inspections for equipment.
I have been using NU32 for my work helmet,its combination of soft neutral light on the side/main throwy light in the middle and lastly not forgetting the red light that preserves night vision....but it would be nice if i could get my hands on this new release🎉
Looks amazing! At the moment I use a varta headlight and an upgrade is needed! From what I see the Nitecore Brand is really suitable for my needs! I've got my eye on the EDC models. 😁🤙🤘
I dont have a headlamp but i am becoming a home inspector and would very badly need one for inspecting attics and crawlspaces so this would be perfect for those jobs. Also love the content
I am using an hc33. This will be a great upgrade to my existing headlamp. I notice the ease of use by just pulling out the hc65uhe and replace the battery is a great improvement. The biggest problem with my hc33 is changing the battery as removing it from the rubber mount is very difficult. Pointing it upwards is also difficult so as not to blind the person beside you when talking. This solves one of the biggest challenges when working at night where changing the battery will be made more convenient, and adjusting the light angle is a breeze.
Been using a Decathlon Trek 100 basic headlamp for night runs and camping, but long for a head lamp with red light. Especially like the long run time with the on-charging with power bank of the HC65 UHE.
I currently use a energizer headlamp as fire volunteer and emergency assistance, a nice change and upgrade would help me perform at crucial times.
Hi. This headlight will help on my car detailing business. And camping. 😊😊
Best review of this light I've seen. I've been a big fan of my HC68 I bought over two years ago. I work doing HVAC repairs and installation and have worn it comfortably on my forehead for hours. Light is always where I need it. Unfortunately the lens is melting a bit just like what you showed in the video. Almost $90 after a discount two years ago. But I've been extremely happy with it. I bought a couple extra batteries but they're starting to wear out physically even though I bought a travel case for them. I was debating whether to update and the HC65 UHE really seems like the next step logically for me. I've never washed the headband on my HC68 so it is a little gross but was afraid it wouldn't hold up in the washer. All the upgrades you showed and what they replace on the older styles are all the complaints I probably have for the HC68 I use and I use it daily. I usually just throw my hand over the light when I need to talk to someone or just turn it off which is inconvenient when I'm actually in an unlit room. Turning it up or down is not the easiest task. Separating the light from the band has never been realistic to me due to putting it back on. The buttons on top feel the same and it's a hastle to take off just to find the buttons so I spend a few seconds "feeling" so I can find the right one. Charging the batteries always take place at home where I do have an older charger which probably needs to be upgraded. I generally don't bring the headlamp home but I'll throw the battery in my personal vehicle to bring home with me after work to charge. One thing I wish you did include in your review is the battery type used for this new HC65 UHE. I'll probably order a couple extra batteries for this but I know batteries keep getting updated and my old batteries may not work with the new headlamp. I did get batteries mixed up when I ordered an EDC awhile back and couldn't use the extra battery due to a different application that battery was used for. A simple misreading of letters after the numbers on the batteries is kinda a costly mistake. Physically it was too long for the flashlight. Overall, NiteCore have been great flashlights and hold up to the abuse everyday use calls for. I've dropped them off tops of ten foot ladders onto concrete and was sure they were broken. Or just bumping the flashlight and the lens holds up. Anyway, thanks for a great review and anxious to receive my new HC65 UHE when it arrives.
I've been running the hc60 v1 on my MTB helmet for the past 4 years now. 1, It's bright enough to not need a handlebar mounted light. 2, the 18650 has enough capacity to make several journeys before it needs recharging. 3, I can replace the battery if it wares out. And 4. when attached to a MTB helmet using one wrap, it's much cleaner looking than any head mounted MTB light currently available. I'm hoping the hc65 is lighter so it doesn't pull my helmet down and of course a removable 18650, so I can change it in the field or when the battery wears out. Oh and the angle mechanism looks ideal when cycling!
I use the NU43 and HC68 both are amazing headlamps while fishing, I depend on them along with the MH25 Pro Flashlight, great products.
Iam using a Wuben H1 for Everything, I'm not complaining, but a second headlamp would be really useful, this one is absolutely amazing and has a beautiful look, like everything, it turned out amazingly, but the price is a little high for me, otherwise great video.
Wow! So much thought has gone into the design of this headlamp, I think this would be great for my use. I’m already using the Nitecore HC68 which is really great, but I think this one will be even better. The swivel feature, being able to use with a power bank are brilliant for me as I need long use times at relatively high lumens. For 6 weeks every year I participate in helping amphibians during their migrations across busy streets. So the swivel feature is great to prevent blinding drivers, high lumens for hours is fantastic as I need a lot of light for 5 to 6 hours every evening. This ticks every box!! Great stuff Nitecore!!
Thank you for your informative video! I own ΗΑ23.
very nice headlamp. I just realised I wasn't subbed so I am Now. Thanks
I have MH12S for about 3 years now and it's a fantastic product! Looking forward for some insanely good family of pistol lights.
I currently hold a Tiki UV when I go night running in the park. Researching for a hands-free solution for when I bring my dogs along - sure would be convenient to have both hands free to pick up after them :)
I'm using an olight headlamp now but would love to try a nitecore.
Thank you for the EDC35! It has been working so well. I hope there is no need to use the Lumin Shield on somebody. This headlamp looks like my dream headlamp minus the fact that it has the flappy usb port cover. I prefer screw down cover for more waterproofing. It may not be meant for underwater work but sometimes when we want to wash it under running water, the flap does not bring much sense of security. I wish to see next version to have screw down cover. I wish to see screw down cover for TIKI too. I have been using the small but mighty TIKI but the flap is the major concern when I want to wash it. Thank you again for the great EDC35. Hope to see improved version of TIKI soon.
I’m using the Nu50, which I liked a lot. The 400 lumens during 14 hours is impressive for the HC65 UHE.
Im using cheap head light at the moment, no brand, but seriously this head lamp would be great working tool for me and also i can use for my night running.
I am using a coast xph30r headlamp it is decent enough with adequate brightness. But the HC65 UHE would definitely be a nice updrade.
Im using cheap head lamp at the moment, no brand, but seriously this head lamp would be a great working tool for me coz its a reliable and reputable brand and also I can use for my night running.
I'm using the pokiseed pro 1500 headlamp for work I got from Amazon. I am an airport airplane mechanic that works night shift so a headlamp and flashlight is crucial for my everyday work. It allows me to be able to inspect the aircrafts properly and able to have both hands free to do jobs like a tire change, oil servicing etc. With out a headlight it would almost be impossible to find any issues with the aircrafts I'm assigned to at night.
Clips! The headlamp NEEDS to have clips for hard hats! I got one and was super excited to install it on my hard hat and was extremely disappointed to the part that I was about to send it back because it wouldn’t be secured on the hardhat. But luckily, I was able to salvage the four clips from my previous headlamp. And I am using the headlamp everyday at work in the oilfields.
nice review
Hey. I use a headlamp from a store which is not very good quality, it lights up when it wants to and of course it is not at all comparable to even the cheapest headlamps, the headlamp is very useful, not only at work, but also in the evenings Walks, I really like to ride my bike in the evening because it's fun, my headlamp is not enough for that, so I have to attach a flashlight to my handlebars, good luck to all competitors and a great video!
been using HC68 for some time now. HC65 UHE seems to be a worthy replacement.
I use my HC65 v2 almost daily and love it BUT don’t like how long it takes to get to the auxiliary light (Something I have mentioned before). The further into this video I got, the more excited I got! This HC65 has ticked every box and I cannot wait to get my hands on one! I would love to win but there’s no way that’s going to happen, it’s ok thought, I don’t mind buying one 😂
I already bought this headlamp, but not received yet. ❤
I'm using the Black Diamond Storm 400. It's a nice light but the Nitecore HC65 UHE would be miles ahead of it. The Storm eats batteries and the controls arent easy to find with gloves on. I think the Nitecore HC65 UHE being bright and rechargeable is awesome!
I’m using NU35.The reason i choose NU35 because it can use hybrid power source,either charging build in Battery or use 3 AAA Battery.Of course the price is cheaper than other model.This NU35 is Very usefull when i back to my rural hometown in Sarawak with limited electric source.Thanks Nitecore,the brand we trust with superb quality.🙂
Is there any pocket clip that fits on the HC65 UHE to mount it on a backpack or belt with flashing red light?
I'm using a headlamp from the pound shop that runs on 3 aaa batteries, I'm on my third as they fail regularly, would love one of these to work on my rc cars, it looks like it will be a better fit also as elastic looks stronger than the pounland ones that stretch after a few weeks
Hi. I was going to buy this headlamp from you guys in the bundle, but paying 89$ AUD to ship down to Perth Australia seems a little bit too expensive. Do you offer any cheaper ways of shipping?
I'm still on a cheap china headlamp and can't figure out which nitecore headlamp to get. At this point I wish I have someone close that have them to compare. Would make fishing easier at night near forests
when I need a small headlight I use Nitecore TIP2 with a clip, for more light - Nitecore HC33, for close work Petzl MYO RXP, good job NITECORE :)
The 68 hc has been perfect for me
FINALLY! a headlight meant for what headlights are designed for, close range work. I never understood long throwing head lights, like bruh, that's literally the point of flashlights. Headlights are for personal lighting, I work as an aircraft mechanic during night shift and this will be invaluable. Currently I'm using a custom made set up, using 2 Nitecore E4Ks attached to a cap via 2 LMA1s and its good but too heavy, this will be perfect for my work.
Would be fine if I can connect it to app and disable any blinking, red, or other not nessesary functions.
Is there any nitecore headlights that use the 21700 series batteries? I already have a few of these batteries and would be great to use them in a headlight also
HC35, but 21700 batteries are generally too large and heavy put in headlamps.
I'm currently using NU35.
i didnt liked the ratcheting on a 2xAA Nitecore flashlight i owned so i wont try another one. but i admit, the BR25 for bicycles its the best in the world and i love it.
Hi i Used LHKNL Headlamp but the battery 🔋won’t last long⌛️ also, I bought a lot of different kinds but cheap brands and I’m interested with all your product brand quality and capacity for the battery .
I'm currently using a cheap headlamp I bought off Amazon it's not great but it fit my price point at the time
Quando coloco minha HC65 UHE para carregar e tento usá-la depois de tirar do carregador, ela não liga. Só consigo fazer ligar se abro a tampa da bateria e fecho novamente. Desde o primeiro uso isso acontece. Sabe me dizer se há algum comando a ser dado após o carregamento da bateria para que a lanterna possa ser ligada ou a minha unidade veio com defeito? When I put my HC65 UHE to charge and try to use it after removing the charger, it doesn't turn on. I can only get it to turn on if I open the battery cover and close it again. This happens from the first use. Can you tell me if there is any command to be given after charging the battery so that the flashlight can be turned on or did my unit arrive defective?
A nice headlamp but it's a pity it does not have a combine flood beam as well (except turbo) It would be very useful for me when working on some things in the dark in the garage of my building where the light is on a timer... So far i am using some no names which I have to charge after a few hours :)
P L E A S E SHOW RUN TIME GRAPHS LIKE FENIX DOES ! SEMPER FI GUNNY
I actually have a no-name (assume generic chinese) brand headlamp. It's pretty heavy. I can't really adjust the lamp intensity. I have no idea of the specs, it doesn't mention them anywhere. I primarily use it to hunt invasive pest snails that only come out in the late evening or night. Can spend up to an hour doing this. I would welcome a lighter headlamp with more variability in the brightness intensity as well as the natural CRI lighting. The snails can kind of be hard to spot because of their colouring. They only have very thin striations with a different colour which I assume would be helluva lot easier to pick up in natural light rather than a bright white light.
Hello, my name is Gabriel Carranza, i write you from Chile. I am a youtuber, that review outdoor and tactical gear, and i make a lot review of flashlight. I am made a lot of fenix review, so it is good to be the posibility to tast other brand, and models, like this headlamp that look goos and with new actualizacion. Best regards from Chile
Could be a nice win as I don't have any headlamp from Nitecore yet. So far I just have some cheap ones :)
Nitecore runs in my blood
Can you make a green light/photo led head band for cannabis cultivation. cheers.
I just bought a Tini 2 Ti and a MH12Pro😎
Nitecore should fix their headlamp straps. One of the adjustable tabs is always facing inwards, causing irritation. It would make the lights even better
Between this one and the Wuben E7 is a tough choice
I use a black diamond storm last 2 years
Just reviewed one, I felt it was unusable because of a weird beam phenomenon
NU06 for my night runs is just perfect
Is the battery 18650?
Yes it is
Hmm I don't have a head lamp right now :0
I've been using a piece of junk Energizer headlamp bc someone stole my good one the other day while I was with my mom in the hospital bc she about died on me not been doing good my way already now I apparently have thieves around here now
😢😢
Why have you changed the name of your channel? Are you no longer official Nitecore reseller?
they wanted to showcase products from other manufacturers as well. Hence the name change. Transform it from a nitecore advertising channel to a general gear channel
Yes exactly that. ^
Extrastar
But does it work?! 🤔
why wouldn't it work?
@@NitecoreSG I dunno, but that's the question you asked in your video title. 🤔
@@MrSporkster so did it work for you? 😅
Can u enter me in. Giveaway. Thanks
Just some generic on from decathlon
I was researching for durable lights to get for mountain hikes and the Nitecore brand seems pretty synonymous with lights. I stumbled upon your channel from your website. Guess it's time to slip down yet another rabbit hole. I have been using my 1800 lumen front bicycle light for my hikes so far and it has been far from ideal, so I decided to look into getting a good quality headlamp since I'll be going for more adventurous hikes from now on. The HC65 UHE seems like an ideal fit for what I was looking for, especially with that neat and sleek 8-led configuration (would most definitely help with reduction of heat generation). Not to mention, the 8-led red light seem so friggin' awesome. That clicky easy angle adjustment is simply music to my ears. I love how the battery is swappable, and how the headlamp can be taken apart so conveniently for cleaning and maintenance. Overall this seems like it would be a great addition to my starting arsenal. I was wondering which torch would you recommend to pair with the HC65 UHE? Would love to get one preferably with a clip, auxiliary red light, and magnetic tailcap. Would an extra camp light be recommended as well? Overall, awesome video review, though I have a little suggestion. I know it might be a little troublesome for you guys to do, but it would be great if every video has like a section wear you do an IRL demo of the lights in a real life setting. I know it might be kinda tough to do in Singapore, but I think it would be tremendously helpful for people who are new to such equipment. On a sidenote, I think it's really beneficial that you guys offer split payments on your website!
Is the battery removable?
Yes
