Its ultra-high efficiency (UHE) LED system and unibody optical lens ensure optimal performance, emitting a bright 360 lumen beam that can reach distances of up to 119 yards. The NU20 Classic offers remarkable versatility with its three lighting outputs: Primary White Light, Reading Light, and Red Light. When using the primary white light, you can access up to three different brightness levels by short-pressing the power button, or activate the Turbo mode by long-pressing the power button. When the light is off, double-press the power button to access the reading light. Alternatively, switch to the Red Light by short-pressing the R button when the light is off. The red light protects your night vision or is used as a long-lasting signal light with three modes: Low, High, and Slow Flashing. The NU20 Classic also features modes like SOS and Beacon to assist you in any emergency. Weighing only 1.34 oz, the NU20 Classic is an ultralight headlamp perfect for backpacking when every ounce matters. Yet, it still can achieve a maximum runtime of 97 hours on its lowest setting. Use the USB-C charging port to fully charge the NU20 Classic in just over 1 hour. A power indicator lets you know when it's time to recharge, and the lockout mode prevents accidental activation. The NU20 Classic is also rated IP66 waterproof and can withstand impacts of up to 1 meter, making it a reliable companion for job sites, everyday tasks, camping, hiking, and more, in any environment.
