Nitecore HC65 UHE Headlamp

The HC65 UHE is a metal-bodied, triple-output headlamp built for serious use. Its main beam reaches 2,000 lumens with a 222-meter throw, backed by a high-CRI auxiliary white LED for true-color close work and a red LED to protect night vision. The all-metal construction and IP68 rating mean it survives being dropped and submerged, and it charges over standard USB-C, so any cable in your kit or car will do rather than a proprietary charger. For a demanding headlamp that will take abuse and keep working, it is a strong pick.
