Nitecore HEADLAMP H SERIES 400 LUMENS/HA15 UHE NITECORE

The Nitecore HA15 UHE is a versatile and ultra-lightweight headlamp designed for various outdoor activities and general use. Its key features revolve around its compact size, dual power source, and efficient lighting capabilities.

Here's a breakdown of its characteristics:

1. Ultra-Lightweight and Compact:

• Weighing in at only 43 grams (1.52 oz) with the headband, or 65g with an alkaline AA battery and headband, the HA15 UHE is designed to be barely noticeable when worn, making it ideal for activities where every gram counts, like night running, hiking, or backpacking.

  Its compact dimensions (67.4mm x 28.6mm x 33.4mm) allow it to fit easily into any gear setup.

• 2. Dual Hybrid Power Source:

• This is a standout feature. The HA15 UHE offers flexibility by being compatible with both a single AA battery (alkaline, NiMH, or lithium) and Nitecore's proprietary NL1411R 14500 Li-ion rechargeable battery (1100mAh, with an integrated USB-C charging port).

• Performance varies with battery type:

  • When powered by an NL1411R Li-ion battery, it can achieve its maximum output of 400 lumens and a beam distance of 80 meters, with a maximum runtime of 114 hours on its lowest setting.

    With a standard AA alkaline battery, the maximum output is 200 lumens, with a beam distance of 60 meters.

3. Advanced Lighting Technology:

• It utilizes 6 x NiteLab UHE LEDs with a "matrix-design" and a TrueVision Matrix Lens System. This design aims to provide a balanced, homogenous, and ultra-high efficiency light pattern, offering both powerful output and wide floodlight capability for excellent peripheral vision.

• Dual Beam Colors: It offers both a primary white light and an auxiliary red light.

  • White light is suitable for general illumination and outdoor tasks.

  • Red light helps preserve night vision, is less disruptive in low-light conditions (e.g., for map reading or stargazing), and doesn't attract as many bugs.

4. Multiple Light Modes:

• White Light Modes: High (with NL1411R), Mid, Low, and Ultra-low.

• Red Light Modes: High, Low, and Slow Flashing.

• Special Modes: SOS and Location Beacon for emergencies.

5. Robust and User-Friendly Design:

• Durable Construction: The housing is made from polycarbonate (PC plastic) and TPE material, providing impact resistance (up to 1 meter drop) and low-temperature resistance.

• Weatherproof: It's rated IP66, meaning it's dustproof and protected against strong jets of water (downpours).

• Intuitive Operation: Features a dual-switch interface with two distinct buttons for easy control of brightness levels and modes, along with a lock-out function to prevent accidental activation.

• Reflective Headband: The included headband is lightweight, breathable, and has reflective detailing for added safety in low light.

• Accessories: Comes with a multi-function clip and a diffuser stuff sack, allowing it to be clipped to gear or converted into a mini camping lantern.

  6. Applications: The Nitecore HA15 UHE is designed for a wide range of activities, including:

• Outdoor camping and hiking

• Night running and trekking

• Backpacking (due to its low weight)

• General daily tasks

• Emergency backup lighting
