NITECORE unveils the New Headlamp NU45 featuring the 8-Core UHE LED
April 11th 2024
NITECORE today
launched the NU45, a lightweight and rechargeable headlamp powered by an 18650
battery. As the latest model in the NU series, the NU45 has new upgrades in the
three key aspects: performance, runtime, and comfort. It marks a fresh
direction for the NU series and the industry's exploration of headlamp innovation.
The NU45 leverages
a multi-core LED setup featuring 4 UHE LEDs for each unit to deliver high light
efficiency, while enhancing heat control and reducing energy consumption for
prolonged outdoor use. It shines brightly with up to 1,700 lumens and a throw
of 172 meters, making it easy to quickly know your surroundings and the road conditions
ahead.
The TrueVision+ flood beam offers a bright yet soft illumination that's perfect for outdoor
use, ensuring comfort during prolonged periods without causing glare or
discomfort. Additionally, the NU45 features dual auxiliary lights—the auxiliary
red light has two brightness levels plus SLOW FLASHING, while the auxiliary
white light offers high CRI (CRI≥90) for accurate
color reproduction, ideal for up-close illumination.
Developed in
collaboration with the industry partner, NITECORE introduces a 4,000mAh
(14.4Wh) 18650 Li-ion battery with a high energy density of 300mWh/g, offering
approx. a 17.6% increase in capacity over standard 3,400mAh Li-ion batteries to
ensure long-lasting power. It can run for 34 hours at 100 lumens and for 17
hours at 300 lumens, allowing users to enjoy longer outdoor activities without
concerns over battery life.
Professional headlamps have traditionally hovered between 5–10W in
charging power, with charging times of about 3–4 hours. The NU45 optimizes this
with an intelligent charging circuit and a QC3.0 quick charge solution. It achieves
a max charging power of 14W that is 40% higher than its competitors. And it can
charge to 80% in just one hour, with a full charge taking only about 1.5 hours.
The NU45 also
features a 32mm (1.26") widened and lightweight headband, and the
thickened foam on the bracket helps absorb shock, reduce burden, and repel
sweat, effectively reducing the pressure on the forehead for extended outdoor
wear. Thanks to the modular design, the headlamp can be quickly detached for
easy swapping or to mount it on another bracket. The headband can also be
separated from the bracket to transform into a sweatband.
Other key features of the NU45 include sensor protection function, Lockout Mode, IP68 rating, and 2-meter impact resistance.
