Nitecore HC33 headlamp 1800 lumens

Product description

Nitecore HC33 is a powerful headlamp with up to 1800 lumens and a 187-metre beam distance that can also be used as a regular flashlight or magnetic work light. Its angled design allows the light to be easily removed from the headband and used separately, for example when working on vehicles, camping, hiking and other activities where you need good illumination.
The light features a CREE XHP35 HD LED with five brightness levels, from a low 1-lumen output to the 1800-lumen turbo mode. The reflector provides a wide beam pattern with a 100° beam angle while still reaching far. The housing is made of hard-anodised aluminium, and the light weighs only 51.2 g without a battery.

Headlamp, flashlight and magnetic work light

HC33 can easily be removed from the headband and used as an angled flashlight. The magnetic tail cap makes it possible to attach the light to, for example, a car bonnet or other magnetic metal surface when you need to work with both hands. The light can also stand upright on its tail cap.
A removable diffuser is included and provides a softer, more diffused light. This is practical when the light is used as work lighting or to illuminate a smaller area.

Five brightness levels and up to 330 hours of runtime

Brightness is controlled with a button on the end of the light. In addition to the five regular brightness levels, there are strobe, SOS and beacon modes for signalling.

• Turbo: 1800 lumens, up to 187 metres of beam distance.
• High: 780 lumens, up to 117 metres of beam distance.
• Mid: 240 lumens, up to 63 metres of beam distance.
• Low: 70 lumens, up to 35 metres of beam distance.
• Ultralow: 1 lumen, up to 330 hours of runtime with a Nitecore NL1835HP battery.

The lowest mode is suitable for, for example, reading in a tent, while the higher brightness levels provide better visibility when moving around or working in the dark. The light also features temperature regulation (ATR), which automatically adjusts the output to prevent overheating. This means that the highest brightness level is not maintained continuously.

Powered by 18650 or CR123A batteries

HC33 can be powered by one rechargeable 18650 battery or two CR123A batteries. Two rechargeable RCR123A batteries are also supported.
Important when choosing an 18650 battery: The battery must support at least 8 A continuous discharge current to be compatible with the light. To use the 1800-lumen turbo mode, a high-drain battery capable of more than 8 A is required. The Nitecore NL1835HP is a recommended battery. Turbo mode is not available with CR123A or RCR123A batteries.
The light does not have a built-in charging function. Rechargeable batteries are charged in a separate battery charger. Batteries and charger are not included.

Waterproof construction and battery indicator

HC33 has an aluminium housing with a hard-anodised HAIII finish and hardened mineral glass with an anti-reflective coating. It is waterproof to IP68 and can withstand submersion to a depth of 2 metres and drops from up to 1 metre.
A built-in battery indicator shows the battery voltage through flashes when the battery is inserted. The light also has reverse polarity protection.
