Review: Nitecore NU30 Headlamp (with X-rays of internals)

Amazon has both right and left angled coiled cables. There are also no angle coiled cables Amazon.com

Not sure how you would get one to Norway

Just because it has that type of thread does not mean it is a wood screw…
There are tons of screws that look like that.
They are for plastic, metal, and all kinds of other materials.
Since there are no nuts, this is the correct type of screw to use to attach the PCB to the plastic body.
It’s very common to use self-tapping screws for plastic. They are not “just some random screws”.

With the amount of money I spend at Amazon, you’d think that I’d just look there first. Thanks.

Hi, everyone mine also have the bluish tinted secondary LEDs.It's doesn't seem to be of any hi-CRI type.The main led is rather yellowish than the secondary flood lights.

Iam not complaining ,it's just an observation.I have many nitecore tubes, and these secondary LEDs looks to be having that same tint.By the way ,I use the secondary led a lot and I like the fact that its brighter since it's of coolwhite tint.Ofcourse the colour reproduction is bad compared to the mainled.

Also,like many here I found that the main led should have been more floody.It annoys particularly during walking in high mode,as when you look down you are blinded by the tight hotspot.

If it could be taken apart, i would also add a tape or film to make the beam more floody.

Rest everything seems to be ok for me.I don't think the water can get in through the usb port, its having a good snug fit,and if pressed correctly won't pop out.weight seems to be fine and is comfortable to wear .Red LEDs are so bright and would prefer a lower red mode or a lower secondary led for reading purpose(main led is very concentrated even at low settings for closeup uses ).

Big battery is really useful for longer hikes, though charging from completely dead takes a while (around 4 to 5 hrs in my experience).But love the fact that it is usb rechargeable and can be used while charging.

So , after all these observations I must say I expected a little more(like good beam profile and lower modes), but am getting comfortable with it as I use it more and more.Plans to use it for next two years.(I had a few drops and dips but none seems to leave any mark, so I expect it to be sturdy enough to handle my daily outdoor uses).

i dont want to open new thread……what do you think is the smallest headlamp on the market? NU20?

The NU20 and NU20 CRI are pretty compact, and certainly have an excellent size/output ratio.

The AAA Fenix HL10 is also pretty compact, but only 70 lumens (which is good enough for urban night running).

i will buy this…for a joke…and change the led…hehe
