The Nitecore HC68 is a compact and powerful headlamp with a maximum output of 2000 lumens. It features two Luminus SST-40-W LEDs, with one LED functioning as a floodlight and the other as a spotlight. The beam can be almost continuously focused using Nitecore's patented E-Focus technology. The operation of the Nitecore HC68 is simple and intuitive. The included Li-Ion battery NL1835HP is charged via the integrated USB-C port in the lamp. The red auxiliary light reaches a brightness of 11 lumens and preserves night vision capability. The red light has two brightness levels and a flashing mode. The aerospace aluminum housing ensures a safe drop height of 2 meters and waterproofing up to 2 meters (IP68). To protect the electronics and battery from overheating, the HC68 is also equipped with temperature regulation.
