NITECORE Launches the NU20 Classic Ultra Lightweight Outdoor Headlamp
August 8th 2024
NITECORE today announced the release of the NU20 Classic, an
ultra lightweight outdoor headlamp. This launch revisits the classic design
first introduced in 2016 with the NU20, and its successor the NU25 in 2017,
which together pushed the boundaries of lightweight design in professional
outdoor headlamps to new heights, earning widespread acclaim from both fans and
professional media. The NU20 Classic retains this iconic design and features an
ultra high efficiency UHE LED, blending traditional design with advanced LED technology
for better performance.
Weighing just 38g (1.34 oz), the NU20 Classic is built from
lightweight PC materials and features a reflective yet featherlight headband
for a barely-there feel during outdoor activities. It's designed to minimize
weight for comfortable wear.
The headlamp includes the new UHE LED, the latest innovation of
the NITECORE headlamp line, offering a 16.6% increase in luminous efficiency
over the XP-G2 LED used in the NU25. This new LED supports a delicate balance
of brightness, range, and efficiency under a compact design, delivering up to
360 lumens with a range of 109 meters—a 35% improvement over the NU25. Designed for comfort, it
features a soft glow with smooth lighting transitions that are easy on the
eyes, even during extended use.
Responding to popular demand, the NU20 Classic introduces a
USB-C port, replacing the older Micro-USB, available to share a charging cable
with most devices. Inside, it houses a 500mAh Li-ion battery, providing 5 hours
of battery life at 200 lumens.
The NU20 Classic also features a high CRI (CRI≥90)
auxiliary white light and an auxiliary red light. It maintains the dual-button
design and user interface of the NU25 and offers IP66 dust and water resistance
with a 1-meter drop protection.
