Your Perfect Adventure Companion: One Light For Every Situation
SEE WHAT OTHERS MISS WITH ADAPTIVE LIGHTING - Navigate fog with warm light (3000K) that reduces glare and enhances depth perception. Switch to neutral white (4500K) for true-to-life colors when setting up camp. Use cool white (6500K) for maximum visibility during night runs or emergency situations. You'll never be caught with the wrong light again.
FORGET YOU'RE WEARING IT - Traditional headlamps cause neck pain during extended use. At just 50 grams (1.76 oz), the NU25 MCT is 10.7% lighter than previous models, allowing you to complete long adventures in comfort. Perfect for ultralight backpackers who count every gram without sacrificing performance.
SEE MORE OF YOUR SURROUNDINGS - The TrueVision+ optical system with 94% light transmission efficiency creates a wide 100° beam angle, illuminating your entire field of view instead of just a narrow spot. Track trail markers, spot wildlife, and avoid hazards in your peripheral vision without constantly turning your head.
OUTLAST YOUR ADVENTURE - Nothing kills confidence like a dying headlamp. The MCT UHE LEDs paired with an enhanced 700mAh battery deliver 25% longer runtime than previous models - up to 13 hours on high setting and 45 hours on low. Complete overnight hikes or multiple camping trips on a single charge.
OPERATE WITH GLOVES IN ANY WEATHER - Frustrating interfaces become dangerous in critical moments. The dual-button design separates power control from mode selection, allowing intuitive operation even with gloves or cold hands. The lockout function prevents accidental activation in your pack, saving battery for when you actually need it.
ADAPT TO ANY SCENARIO - From reading maps with the low-red light that preserves night vision to creating ambient tent lighting with the included diffuser sack, this versatile system replaces multiple light sources in your kit. Simplify your gear and reduce weight without sacrificing functionality.
WHY ADVENTURERS CHOOSE THE NU25 MCT
Right Light, Right Time
Unlike one-size-fits-all headlamps, the NU25 MCT's three color temperatures (warm, neutral, cool) let you optimize visibility for any environment - see through fog and snow with warm light, preserve accurate colors with neutral white, and maximize visibility distance with cool white.
All-Day Comfort
At just 50g with both bracket and headband, it's like wearing nothing at all. The strategic weight distribution eliminates pressure points on your forehead, while the breathable headband prevents sweat buildup during intense activity.
Trusted By A Million Users
Join the community of over 1,000,000 adventurers worldwide who rely on Nitecore's NU25 series. This third-generation model builds on years of real-world feedback from hikers, runners, and outdoor professionals to perfect every detail.
Two Lights In One
Save space in your pack by using the included diffusing stuff sack to transform your headlamp into a tent lantern. The even, ambient light creates a comfortable atmosphere for reading, organizing gear, or socializing with fellow adventurers.
Night Master: The Ultimate Ultralight Headlamp That Won't Slow You Down
Why Compromise Between Weight, Performance, and Versatility?
When darkness falls, your visibility shouldn't be limited by your gear. The NU25 MCT represents the pinnacle of Nitecore's most successful ultralight headlamp series, chosen by over 1,000,000 adventurers worldwide since 2017.
While other ultralight headlamps sacrifice performance, the revolutionary MCT (Multiple Color Temperature) UHE LEDs deliver 400 lumens with a 132-meter beam while weighing a mere 50 grams - lighter than a typical energy bar.
The TrueVision+ optical matrix system with 94% light transmission creates natural, wide-angle illumination that mimics how your eyes naturally see, reducing eye strain during extended nighttime activities and enhancing your ability to judge distance and terrain.
For gram-counting backpackers, trail runners, and emergency preparedness enthusiasts, this IP66-rated headlamp provides the reliability of much heavier alternatives while offering versatility that single-mode lights can't match.
Are you ready to experience the difference that adaptive lighting can make for your adventure?
DESIGNED FOR YOUR ADVENTURE
Camping
Switch to warm light to reduce eye strain during extended camp setup. Transform to ambient lighting with the diffuser for comfortable socializing without harsh shadows or battery-draining lanterns.
Outdoor Adventures
Use neutral white for map reading with true color reproduction. When fog or rain hits, instantly switch to warm light for enhanced depth perception, reducing eye strain and improving safety.
Trekking
The 50g weight eliminates neck strain during multi-day expeditions. When dawn approaches, switch to red light to maintain your night vision while still seeing the trail ahead clearly.
Night Running
Cool white light maximizes visibility while the ultralight design prevents bouncing. The breathable headband keeps sweat at bay, and the dual button interface lets you adjust brightness without breaking stride.

Brightness:bright and Good throw.. Quality:feels sturdy and super light Seller was fast to ship order, received in a day. Really appreciate it. Item even came with a small pouch to store the headlight.
All is good. Received product fast and prompt replies from seller. But yet to be put to the test. Will see how it performs out in the wild.
Very good and very fast shipping. Would recommend to friends and family not yet try.
Item was delivered in a day! It came with a stuff sack. I have not tested it outdoors yet, but works well.
Just got back from a camping trip with these. Awesome!
Suitability:Good Quality:Good Performance:Very bright and good The product came in good condition and is very bright!
Delivery is fast and well packaged as usual. Headlamp is very light and customisable strap with an elastic band. The light self has an inbuilt bracket that allows the body to cycle down in steps. This allows you to point the light at your preferred location be it straight ahead or at your feet all without bobbing your head.
2nd purchase . Love it for its light weight without being too intrusive for maintenance work . Strongly recommended
The light weight is a great plus point not only for sports but also a great substitute for prolonged work tasks. The variable light intensities helps control the work environment luminance.
Great light!! GREAT customer support with replacement reports available for purchase. Our Beagle chewed the backplate yesterday and I heard form customer service today with a link to purchase replacement part. The actual light was totally unscathed as was the beagle. Works as expected bright and I like the cord headband. If it can survive our beagle it can survive ANYTHING!! Recharges fast to boot!
These are my husband's favorite headlamps for everything from running to fishing. We love the rechargeable vs battery feature. Great variety of light settings, very versatile. My husband has had one for 2+ years and we have been very happy with its quality and functionality. We just bought 2 more for my son's, to use fishing, when the sun sets a bit before they can get back to the car. Get these, you won't be disappointed.
Suitability:Good Performance:Good Quality:Bright headlamp. Rechargeable. Perfect for hiking.
Have used this headlamp for 10+ sunrise hikes and some late night hikes so far. The dimmer white light setting is enough for myself when hiking, and bumping up to a brighter setting one or two other people can get by from my headlamp.The buttons take a little getting used to but work very well and once you learn what they do, are quick to use. Battery life is good but I would recharge it after hikes.Great value for the price since its an affordable unit. Very light as well
The perfect companion for a secondary light if ur heading to dark trail or even use as spare light if your main light is not working or forgotten to charge. It’s light, portable and comes with nice colours
Edc headlight, I don't feel it in my pocket, but it always with me.
Lightweight and most importantly easy to handle! It’s really comfortable I felt almost nothing ! Really amazing
My bar for headlamps is pretty high and this one is pretty good. It has a great light pattern, is lightweight and is comfortable to wear. The only option that it doesn’t have is memory for the last model used. This is a big deal especially when a light has so many options like the color temp and the intensity. I do like that there is a dedicated button for the red light, which you might use in the middle of the night to avoid blinding someone or messing up your night vision. I also really like the battery level test mode. It’s a set of 4 blue lights that come on temporarily when in use.
Honestly, this light is fantastic. It does all the things and then someI really like the way that it feels on the forehead and I like the gears in the back more than the nu20 or the nu25. They hold better and work betterThe nu27 crushes in all categories. It's also super super bright!Personally, for me it's too much light and I like the lightweight next to nothing convenience of the nu20 classic so that's the one I chose and that's the one I recommendBut if you need that bigger battery and more output this one is nearly perfect in every way

This is a must have for all the outdoor adventurers out there. This ultra lightweight outdoor headlamp is so compact that you can easily stash this in your pocket or backpack. It evens come in its own white drawstring carrying case for easy transport. This is perfect for camping, night biking or running, hiking and any other outdoor adventures especially since it’s so light and waterproof. There are different brightness levels from neutral white light, warm and then cool white light. It also has auxiliary red lights that can be used to signal for emergency help. It comes with its own black and yellow headband and it is very comfortable to wear around your head. The best feature is that it doesn’t use batteries and can be charged with the included USB charging cable. There are 4 blue light indicators letting you know its battery level. This headlamp is perfect in so many levels that I couldn’t ask for more. I highly recommend this.
Very bright and convenient Light weight
Really love the light. The really helps when out camping and the beam brightness and throw is great as well.
Apologies in advance for any typos, I accidentally blinded myself with 400 lumens of heavenly brightness before writing this review.Light, easy to use, feature packed. This headlamp has it all. Came in so clutch for camping and also when working on car, motorcycle, and even around the house. I bought two (home and shop) and maybe I'd get a third (moto trip bag).My wife makes fun of me for looking like a dork with a headlamp on. But she insists on keeping the lights off, so this was our compromise. Good time to mention the IP66 water resistance, works as advertised.Nitecore impresses with quality and feature set at a decent price.
Upgraded to this headlamp for the weight and color options. My other headlamp I still use but it's a tank (18650 batt). I've use NU27 on a 4 day backpack trip and it was so light I would forget I was wearing it sometimes. Battery life is great and the neutral color/ yellow is so much better for the eyes and color retention for certain items/tasks. The bad is there is no memory for the light/color options. Everytime it's powerd on it goes to neutral color in low then you will have to cycle through yellow then through white. (low-med-high) If I'm at camp and want a burst of white light i would have to hold to power on then dbl tap for turbo then press the mode button 2x to cycle through the color options to get white. Not an issue to me but just keep that in mind. Also have red lights which is a plus. Also I'm hoping the next gen will have a wider flood/flood option and memory. Other than all of that rambling, this is an amazing headlamp and my favorite right now.
Like the lightness of the headlamp, not forgetting the white that helps in finding inside the dark colored bag.
Nice design with 360lumens is enough for night fishing etc.
Useful as an edc, hands-off light. Used it when I was chasing lightning tube inside a dark room.
Lightweight, handy, practical!
Great headlamp overall. It is super lightweight, comfortable to wear, and looks sleek. The easy brightness adjustment and the ability to change the color temperature from cool to warm light is genuinely useful in different conditions. The build quality and materials are top-notch. Very satisfied with this purchase.
I bought this to go in my backpacking gear. It's super light, and very bright. The SOS function could be useful in case of a backcountry emergency.
It’s not bad. Not the most comfortable but good for the price.
I had another bigger branded headlamp with a single button, and I hated it. It was hard to always remember the sequence of presses, long presses, and number of presses to use the thing. This headlamp is simple to use all the features, like very simple. The charge easily lasts well beyond a camping weekend. Couldn't be happier.
Nice and bright, makes it’s easy to move around at night while camping or wherever you need light.
I’ve had this for nearly two years and use it regularly (camping, traveling, nighttime visits to the chicken coop). Still works as well as on day one. It only needs charging every 2-3 months unless I’m heading out camping.
This thing is awesome
Loved my last one, like this one too, would have been 5 stars if the charging port didn’t have the same end on both sides I thought one side would be usb, silly that it is not.
I have used Petzl and Black Diamond headlamps for decades. Looking to lighten my pack and this has not disappointed.
This headlamp did an incredible job during my recent AT walk. Light weight and simple to use, while being reliable. The headlamp's charge made it throughout the week long heat and humidity with no issues. Headlamp strap is simple but comfortable. I’ll be buying more of these for my Alaska excursions.
small and light. and the bungee rope strap is good for sweaty heads
Awesome head lamp this is my second one and first one lasted 2 years
