Nitecore HC60 Rechargeable Headlamp

Intense Illumination

The newest edition to Nitecore's impressive line of headlamps, the Nitecore HC60 Rechargeable Headlamp is a shining example of power and versatility. Powered by a single 18650 battery or a pair of CR123As and equipped with a sophisticated CREE XM-L2 U2 LED, this high performance headlamp produces a wide 100° beam of up to 1000 Lumens that will provide you with a fuller, more evenly-lit view at night. In addition to its highest output, the HC60 features 4 dimmer outputs ranging from 420 Lumens down to just 1 Lumen to suit a variety of lighting needs, as well as a trio of tactical outputs; a Strobe Mode for disorienting a target, a S.O.S. Mode for emergency situations, and a Location Beacon to mark your position. The head of the light can even be rotated 180 degrees vertically to allow for even more lighting angles and options.

Easy Operation

While its multitude of unique outputs may make it seem like a complicated device, the HC60 is incredibly easy to use. All 8 of its outputs are easily accessed and cycled through using the headlamp's straightforward single-button interface, which can be operated with just one hand, leaving an open hand for whatever task you may be tackling. Keeping the HC60 charged is equally as simple, as it is capable of being recharged internally via the light's micro-USB charging port, when equipped with an 18650, without removing the battery. Even the light's comfortable nylon headband is easy to adjust to nearly any head size, making it ready for any user!

Built To Last

Designed for extended outdoor use, the HC60 is ready to endure the wear and tear of the elements and frequent use. The headlamp's body is constructed from sturdy polycarbonate and hard-anodized aluminum, letting it withstand drops from as high as 1.5 meters and allowing it to be submerged under 2 meters of water with no damage. Internally, the light comes standard with Advanced Temperature Regulation (ATR) technology, which helps monitor the internal temperature and prevent it from overheating, as well as reverse polarity protection to protect both the headlamp and the battery. Brilliantly bright, remarkably rugged, and incredibly user-friendly, the Nitecore HC60 Rechargeable headlamp is the perfect light for any outdoor enthusiast!

Best headlight ever
I bought the HC60 as a Christmas gift for my father based on my experience with the HC50 that I purchased for myself last year. The HC60 is fantastic. With a good range of brightness levels and several strobe options it is quite versatile. The bonus is the fact that it is rechargeable with a USB plug which allows it to be plugged into a 120v outlet with a typical usb-wall outlet adapter or plugged into a computer or car usb port! I love these nitecore headlights and they are the best I've ever owned.
ProsBrightness level selection, very bright on highest setting, good head mount, rechargeable with an included usb cable. It takes a typical rechargeable battery so you can purchase more as spares to ensure you have one or more charged in reserve or you can use the CR123's as an option.
ConsNone so far.

Comfortable, good light, clumsy features
Very effective.
Pros1.)The light is lite. Very comfortable & easy to adjust straps to my head. Nice spread of light. Very effective. 2.) Reasonable value for the price paid ($50)
Cons 1.) On/off button should be on the TOP, not front of the light. It's awkward to push the button back directly into your forehead. It would be far better to push down with your thumb on the other side. 2.) The rotation of the light up & down requires too much effort and is trial and error. Friction fit on rubber bracket requires two-handed adjustment. 3.) Very little power difference between two highest settings. 1000 lumens is questionable 4.) Memory of previously used power setting is accessed by holding the awkward on/off button in for one second. Recall should be automatic.

The Best I've Found
I seem to have been through a lot of headlamps, starting with the cheap ones then rapidly amping up the quality and price thinking surely a $20 or $30 lamp would surely meet my needs. Each time after a month or two they would fail. To be fair, I use the lamp often and I am hard on equipment as I am sometimes doing heavy work at night. But now, finally, I have found the light for me! I purchased this lamp back in the summer when it was blazing hot outside. Amazingly, this extremely bright light that is very hot to the touch, it not at all hot on the forehead--excellent design! I've dropped it several times in shallow water or mud with no ill effects whatsoever. It is very lightweight, both on the head or in the pocket, but also very sturdy--it really feels like a good quality product when you use it. I highly recommend this headlamp to anyone willing to pay a bit more; it is very much worth the price and you will not be disappointed!
Pros-- the brightness of the light is amazing, along with a great quality of light color and tone. -- the swivel makes it easy to keep light out of the eyes of others but still have plenty of work light. -- it is very lightweight but very sturdy. -- does not get hot on the forehead, even in extremely hot weather. (I live in the desert region of the southwest) -- waterproof (I think) -- very easy control button, very intuitive to use, no strange patterns to remember -- it feels very comfortable to wear, at times I forget I have it on. -- long battery life, I use it nightly for extended periods of time and can still go for days without recharging. -- removing and replacing the battery shows exactly how much battery life is left in that charge.
Cons-- I've yet to find any

great light, hard to find power switch
The light is everything you expect from Nitecore. A perfect headlight with a broad light cast and no hot spot. However, that dang power switch is a pain in the butt to find and to use. I also don't understand why you have to remove the end cap to hook up a charge cord. I have no regrets buying this light, just gonna have to get used to the hard to find power switch.
