The Nitecore NU43 weighs just 116g, combining a compact form with an integrated 3400 mAh Li‑ion battery that delivers up to 1400 lumens of light.
Its unibody optical lens system features multiple facets that reflect the beam evenly across a wide area. This design produces a uniform, soft illumination that is ideal for reading maps or spotting distant objects without creating harsh glare. When you need to preserve your night vision—whether you’re watching the stars or moving through a dark forest—the headlamp offers a dedicated red‑light mode that reduces eye fatigue and keeps your visual acuity intact.
Operating the lamp is straightforward thanks to an intuitive dual button interface. From these controls you can switch between five brightness levels, toggle between two light sources, and activate three special modes such as strobe or SOS. Four small LEDs on the front of the unit display battery level at a glance, so you always know when it’s time to recharge.
Charging is fast and convenient: the headlamp plugs directly into a USB‑C port, taking roughly two hours to reach full charge. Because the battery is built‑in, you don’t have to carry spare cells or worry about finding a replacement in remote locations.
The polycarbonate body with an aluminium alloy front housing resists impacts up to 2 m, meaning it can survive accidental drops from a backpack or a sudden fall on uneven terrain. An IP68 rating guarantees that the headlamp is fully waterproof and dust‑proof; you can use it in rain without worry.
