In addition the flashlight has a police flash mode. When the flashlight is on press the button down for 1 second to start this mode. Pressing 1/2 of the way down then cycles to the other specialty modes.
* SOS mode to signal for help.
* Pulse location mode which is a bright burst of light every 2 seconds so rescue worker could find you.

* If you press down ½ of the switch travel with the red LEDs on then the red LEDs will flash off and on.
It has a drop resistance of 1.5 meters or 4.92 feet. It is also waterproof and submersible to IPX-67 which means to a depth of 1 meter for 30 minutes. It is also dust resistant. Just make sure that you properly reinsert the battery cap and snap it in properly. I show that in my video. My only minor complaint is that snapping the cover on is a little tough and you really have to make sure that you have inserted the batteries perfectly before the cover will close properly.

Thanks, you just saved me 30 bucks! I have the HC90 from Nitecore, and I really love it. I will stick to 18650's. For a lightweight edc headlamp I recommend the Petzl triple A lights. I have had a Tikka+ for about 8 years, it's not super bright (160 lumens), but it just works and it weighs next to nothing.
I love your reviews Luke. Honest and entertaining! Thank you.
Sorry Nitecore, I trust Luke's review and I don't want that light. Thanks Luke for your honest opinion. Not all products are for everyone, but nobody wants a light where the button falls off and the battery compartment fails.
Some decent parts especially the red lights. Hopefully they will listen to your suggestions. Thanks Luke.
Great review. I like Coleman headlamps but, saying that, i've never tried one of the really expensive ones like Black diamond or Petzl.
Luke,you need to check out the thrunite single AA th20 headlanp. Good honest review tho:)
I have the hc50 and love it, for a headlamp and a flashlight, that one looks a bit too bulky.
Thanks Tac, I will check out the HC50.
- Luke
I love the nitecore hc30
Hey Luke im looking for a good Hiking, hi power headlamp maybe 200-300 lumens, also a good long lasting flashlight maybe mid range cost for both(I want to find something that uses the same batteries). what would you recommend? I have a Fenix E12 are you a fan of Fenix??
My old camera took 4 x AA batteries. My latest camera takes one slim, flat battery which is much lighter and lasts longer. Why can't these headlights use the slim, flat batteries? They are not all that expensive considering they are rechargeable.
Is that Ragweed behind you at the 5 minute mark?
Agreed, not really feeling that one. I have a lot of other nitecore lights and they are all great. Thanks for the great review.
You make a good point brother, normally Nitecore really delivers with their products. This one falls short big time. - Luke
man wish they send me some to try
I wear all of my headlights over a type baseball cap... I imagine that is why there is no padding?
Might I suggest the Boruit Headlamp Headlight 5000, 5000 Lm on amazon, I can't picture owning any other brand, solid, tough, & bright. A bit heavy & you will need to upgrade to the 18650 batteries. And for those, might I suggest the Caloics 3000 mAH rechargeable. Just another option to consider, thanks guys, Gary
I bought one that takes 18650 rechargeable batteries and is padded where it rests against the forehead.
thks for review, seems like it missed the mark.
and I am sitting here in Arizona, the Home of the 110 degree weather
Woohooo, that is hot! I'm wrapped in a blanket right now and it's in the 40's!

Hello from a part of the tropics in very similar temperatures, Luke!
Looks like it would leave a big square mark on your forehead with the large plastic mount. They need to take this one back to the drawing board. I am not sure why they felt the need for this head lamp. The HC50 is a much better light than this all around. They failed with this one in my opinion. Great review Luke.
Gleh. Give me an Olight S1 on a ball cap anyday of the week.
As far as dedicated headlamps go... Thrunite TH20 plz
Thanks, I'm not gonna by it. I am surprised, that Nitecore made such a defective thing..
To much money not enough product.Thanks ZZ.
Why some people say "we" when they are more than obvious alone with the camera?
In Luke's case, it's because he likes to involve the viewers.
Good point, sort of not being selfish and talk only "I"
Gunner is correct, I am speaking to the viewers.
Have a good day guys.
- Luke
TheOutdoorGearReview Got it :)
I stopped watching after two minutes. Two minutes is how long it took me to see I do not like this headlamp. Part of me is still waiting to see if thrunite finally makes a AA headlamp.
I didn't like the headlamp either. Have a good one.
- Luke
They have done it. Check out the TH20.
+Gunner193 thanks I did not know they had an aa flashight light even better its also 14500 compatible. I ordered one today thanks to you.
TRACY SAMPS Glad to be of service :D
We can certainly tell you are doing this for the money.
Companies love paying for negative reviews on their products.
Thank you Luke for keeping it honest for us.
You are welcome Donald and I wouldn't have it any other way and that is why I don't receive commission on any sales, I don't have a store, I don't get paid to review products, etc. If the product is good, I will say so. If the product isn't, I will say so. Just like with this headlamp, it's not a good product in my opinion so I said so.
S&H

I see your strategy here... Keep giving honest reviews until companies learn to only send you high-quality products. At which point, you have companies sending you high quality products, so that's a win. Brilliant!
Honesty is key.
