It would appear that the proper name should be Nitecore NU25 UL , Not Nu25 NL. Flashlight Brand has miss printed the information on their website

I’ve been using this light since it’s prior generation (about five years) for backpacking and I use it around the house when called for as well (just changed my car battery at night, using it as a work light). I find medium is really the only setting needed. I hike a 3+ mile per hour pace in the woods while on medium and never feel that I need more. In terms of the battery life I don’t know if it meets the published specs. What I can say is that it frustratingly gets to 25% left on the battery meter within an hour or so of use. However I’ve then gone on to use the headlamp for hours and have never drained it completely. I carry an external battery while on trail for my headlamp, phone, and InReach and make sure to recharge the headlamp after ten hours or so of use, as I do night hike and would hate to run out of light prematurely. The light won’t just turn off on you as power runs out, however. I’ve noticed that the high or medium will step down in output first, so it’s a warning of sorts. I would also say that it charges very quickly. An hour or so when plugged into the wall will get me a full charge. The one thing you didn’t mention in your review is that when recharging, there’s a light that goes from red to green when the battery is at full charge. Overall, this headlamp works and is priced so well that I don’t understand why outdoors people would want anything else.

They rounded off the corners and made it sexy! Mine is a little plastic box. I bought a yellow one because I don't want to lose it. I had to do the shock cord mod myself, with the help of several KZitem channels. Thanks for showing it, Mark. Mine has been trouble-free for over 500 miles of the Appalachian Trail. I can't say enough good about it, though I was concerned about the delicate hinge at first. It is very well thought out.

Actually a nice light. The two buttons makes accessing the setting pretty easy, and the price really isn’t that bad. Same or less than some of the big names.

Weighing in at 45g (1.98 oz) does make it feel like it is not there after wearing it awhile.

G'day Mark, sure is feature packed for a little fella; which personally I like, (and would go as far as to say mandatory), for on the trail. However, I do think many folks would balk at all the features/interface, i.e. just gimme simple; ...... If this is you, I can recommend the Fenix HM23. Leaving aside the non-replaceable battery, it would be nice to be able to optionally add a strap IMO, but hey if the cordage holds up and remains comfortable without a hat, well and good. I guess if you have suitable cordage elsewhere in your kit, that does make this aspect easily replaceable in the field as a bonus. All in all, I can certainly see why it's so popular with UL walkers. Thanks for the look mate. Cheers Duke.

I may ask for the Fenix lamp to review. I believe there is a version of this lamp with a proper head strap at a bit more weight. Thanks for commenting Duke

@@MarkYoungBushcraft No worries Mark, I will add, the Fenix job is my "around the house" unit, but as I said, if one wants/needs simple ..... I whack a NiMh AA in it, but with a couple of extra AAs in a pack, a great option for the woods I reckon. Incidentally, my go to for on the trail is the Klarus H1A-PL, very feature rich, yet very easy on the grams too and I pair it with a Lumintop EDC-05, (common batteries, rechargeable or not, 14500s and/or AAs)...... yet another couple for the memory banks mate should you come across them, lol. So many great units out there, vid suggestion if I may and if you haven't already, "what to look for in a light", or lights, depending on one's MO.

I'm not very good at remembering which buttons to push on my existing NU25, and this new model looks like it has even more functions. Should I carry an additional flashlight to enable me to read the operating manual in the dark? Seriously the NU25 is a great ultralight headlamp - I just wish it was a bit less complicated.

I hold the front of it towards my body close enough that I only see the light slightly. Then I cycle thru to get the red lights on. An old Army trick.
