The Nitecore NU45 is a high‑performance headlight engineered for the demands of night hiking, trail running and overnight camping. It delivers up to 1,700 lumens with a 172‑metre throw, while a generous 100‑degree beam angle creates a flood profile that spreads light evenly across the path ahead. This makes it simple to spot obstacles or navigate uneven terrain without the harsh glare of a spotlight.
Three separate light sources give you flexibility: a bright white beam at 6 000 K for general illumination, an auxiliary high‑CRI white lamp (4 500 K, CRI ≥ 90) that reproduces colours faithfully, and a red light to preserve night vision when you need to read maps or check your gear in low‑light conditions. The headlamp offers six brightness levels plus three special modes, allowing you to tailor lighting from a gentle glow for campsite use to full power for long stretches of trail.
The design keeps operation intuitive; two buttons of contrasting shape and feel let you switch settings with one hand while trekking or carrying your pack. Four battery‑level indicators keep you informed of remaining charge, so you never run out in the middle of a descent. The 18650 Li‑ion cell can be charged via the USB‑C port—no separate charger required.
Durability is addressed through an impact‑resistant body that withstands drops up to two metres, while an IP68 rating guarantees full protection against dust and water. A removable bracket means you can swap headbands quickly or replace them if they wear out, ensuring the lamp stays comfortable no matter how long your adventure lasts.
