1. Nitecore HC50. Takes 18650 cell, it’s bright. Has red LED and direct access to red from off. I like having red for camping-like activities, though I could prob get by fine with a good regular moonlight mode and direct access to it. IMO good mode group. Battery voltage indicator that works well.
2. It’s a bit bulky. If the HC30 had a red LED I would prob choose it.
1. Skilhunt H15.
Small, versatile, takes AA/14500, TIR optics. Good looking and good UI.
2. Would want red led for moonlight and beacon modes.
Stainless tailcap and bezel to prevent dents when dropped.
3. Glow in dark headband.
1. zebralight h51 because it uses single AA battery and good runtime
2. red & green leds …high cri
3. motion sensor for easy access to modes sounds cool
4. headlamp should be small and light weight
1. What’s the best headlamp in the market you know and want to recommend it to others , and why do you think it’s best and recommendable
The only one i have used is a discontinued Defiant Model, i can only recommend it because i have others to compare against
2. what’s the improvement do you think the headlamp ( which you mention in question 1) still needs
More brightness and better battery support (it uses 3AAA)
3. what’s your suggesting special functions for headlamps
5 modes, 1, 5, 20, 50, 100%
4. any other thing you want to propose
balance flood and throw, but more flood, have super high brightness available but mabe as a hidden mode and well hidden or no blinkie/stoibe
1- Black Diamond Revolt due to it´s general functions and performance, but… specially due to it runs on regular AAA and also because its USB charging function
2- Decrease price without removing functions/performance
3- All headlamps (and flashlights) should use regular AA/AAA but should have USB Charging (that is a must for me)
4- Add a clever and compact flood to throw mechanism. User configurable modes (access to moonlight, power of each mode, etc)
1. So far, me and my family prefer the Nitecore HC50 for our backpacking trips. We settled with this one because of the battery type, red leds, and brightness.
2. It’s a bit heavy, could use a bit more of a hotspot. Doesn’t penetrate fog as good as some others.
3. Option for usb charging.
4. Enough of a spot to punch through fog but still have usable spill, nice warm tint for better contrast, ability to upgrade components.
1. The only headlamp I own is an old Sipik 3x AAA. The headlamp that looks the best to me is the Skilhunt H15, it’s a nice compact size and works with NiMh and 14500 cells.
2. I would like for the switch to be moved to the same position as the H02 headlamps, and for a red emitter to be added.
3. A ramping mode that is slow enough to easily select the desired brightness.
1. What’s the best headlamp in the market you know and want to recommend it to others , and why do you think it’s best and recommendable
Nitecore HC30 is bright and versatile
2. what’s the improvement do you think the headlamp ( which you mention in question 1) still needs
Low voltage protection and/or temperature sensor would be helpful.
3. what’s your suggesting special functions for headlamps
Removable diffuser or something to make t more floody when you need it.
1. What’s the best headlamp in the market you know and want to recommend it to others , and why do you think it’s best and recommendable
I would say Nitecore HC30 it is small and packs a punch…
2. what’s the improvement do you think the headlamp ( which you mention in question 1) still needs
The light had a few QC issues like little marks on the flashlight when it was new usually nitecore is better!
3. what’s your suggesting special functions for headlamps
I would like a beacon mode that is a lower setting then high it would come in handy when i am fishing in dangerous spots!
4. any other thing you want to propose
I proposed once and i got engaged and it didn’t work out so i no longer propose lol! I love headlamps and the range isn’t big enough compared to handheld flashlights but headlamps give you the freedom of being able top use both your hands which is important when you are in the dark activities like fishing or hunting! we need more thrower headlamps!

Custom HI-CRI XHP50 Nitecore HC30 HI-CRI налобник с очень широким светом. | Мастерская: Tamagotchi и Rime Best light, control, runtime, size and efficiency. (Zebralight H602w and H600w are not bad too).

1. Nitecore HB02 headband because it’s comformable, durable, and accepts many handheld torches enabling them be multi-purpose and best selected for the specific task
