For comparison, the second graph shows PWM varying from 0 to 120 lx on the LOW mode on the Nitecore R25 flashlight. It still didn’t turn off, and continued for several hours, although I stopped the test before it turned off.

Inspired by the notion to "Keep Innovating" as a global leader of LED flashlights and chargers with over 100 patents and a grand-slam award winner of the American International Design Excellence Awards (IDEA), German iF Design Award, Red Dot Design Award and the Japanese G-Mark (Good Design), NITECORE creates innovative products in a wide variety of fields and leads the industry in new standards of portability, aesthetic, output and functionality. Highly recommend this product to anyone that doesn't mind spending a little more for a device that will last for years and years.

When this arrived I thought it solid, but heavy on the head, and the use of the various light functions non intuitive. I've never had an 18650 headlamp but it's great cause it uses the same batteries as my other flashlight/lasers. Powered by the included 2 x AA batteries, it is one button operable for 3 brightness levels and BEACON mode.When it comes to the build quality, everyone who owns a Nitecore flashlight knows that they are built well. An included high capacity 3500mAh 18650 Li-ion battery can be charged inside the light via USB-C with the included charging cable. If you don’t know what this means, just skip this part, because only a handful of people care about this). The data may vary slightly in real world use depending on battery type, individual usage habits and environmental factors.

I thought I’d miss the Lenser’s zoom facility, but the Nitecore manages to provide a great floodlight so the spotlight isn’t needed. The HC65 V2 has a unibody TIR lens system which reflects soft, uniform light and can produce several outputs with an ultra thin, lightweight body.

It is available for instant access to the red light while it is designed with a wide voltage range, compatible with various AA batteries. The HC65 V2 features three light sources including the primary white light, an auxiliary red light and a high CRI auxiliary white light. Bought this as a gift for a naturalist to help them identify some species of lichens and moths so I can't comment on actual use. Although these numbers would indicate a slightly greenish tint… you won’t see any green, unless you compare it to one below BBL.

A single push button switch located on the side of the unit provides easy one-handed operation to seven brightness levels and four special modes. From night fishing to long distance running, there is a Nitecore headlamp designed to suit your needs. The optical system of the HC65 V2 uses a unibody TIR lens system and is equipped with 3 different LEDs with a wide beam (100 °) flood beam covering a maximum distance of 1 65 meters.Red light preserves your night vision and is good for wildlife observation, astronomy and night photography. It is powered by a 3500mAh 18650 Li-ion battery (included) or alternatively by 2 CR123 / RCR123 batteries and is rechargeable via the USB-C connector.
