Nitecore HC68: The First Headlamp I Would ACTUALLY Bet My LIFE On??

Nitecore products are very well made, with batteries that have excellent run time and output. With fit and finish that is hard to beat, Nitecore headlamps always perform when it matters most...and in this video we look at the HC68 which takes what we have come to know and trust about the HC60 line and refines it to add some additional lumen output and multiple beam modes with dual LED's with some additional red LED's. In this video I look at the HC68 in detail to demonstrate why for me the HC68 is a headlamp I would bet my life on!

I love my HC68, one of the reasons is the head band is so comfortable, I barely feel it on my head the bands are so soft!

@Bobb1julie Год назад

Nicely presented!! The red light is very beneficial for early access to your deer stand during hunting season where deer cannot see red. It’s also great for salt water surf fishing where red helps you land your fish, change tackle, work with your bait, where white light would frighten the fish 🐠 away !

i never knew that

@iliastheodoropoulos2431 Год назад

I got this headlight a few days ago and already i can tell is just amazing!!!

@outerlimitless Год назад

Yeah man...it is! Enjoy! I'll be interested to hear your feedback once you've used it.

Really nice headlamp, love the features. Great video.

Wish they'd come up with a headlamp that would handle the 21700(i) cell.

@zacharychristian9762 Год назад

You want the ace beam they offer 3000 lumens with red nichia and uv

The fenix hp30r v2.0 carty two 21700 battery.

Outer Limitless, This is definitely a Headlamp that I would utilize for Camping, Riding My Bicycle) after dark. I’m going to look into getting one for me and one for each of my Family. Holy that might be spending a lot of money.

@outerlimitless 2 года назад

I used this a TON after this video. This headlamp is the best I've ever had by a long shot. Highly highly recommended!

@dulerdian4570 2 года назад

Thanks for the review. I was expecting this will (at least) match the runtime performance of Fenix HM65R-T, given they both have a 3500 maH battery..but lookslike it similar to Nitecore HC65 v2. Still behind the Fenix where the Mid mode is at 400 lumens for 8 hrs (the HC68's mid is 250 lumens for 6.5 hrs).

@johnnyreb1475 Год назад

Would you pick the fenix over this? Reason why I'm asking is I have several fenix lights and just ordered the hm70r but thought about getting this one. I don't really hear good things as far as quality and customer service from nitecore and do you know if nitecore lights let you use pretty much any kind of battery like fenix. What I'm talking about is if you have a fenix light that uses 21700 it will take other brand batteries and with a $5 fenix adapter you can use 18650 or two cr123 batteries in a 21700 light.

@EQ_EnchantX Год назад

@@johnnyreb1475 Nitecore all the way. I had a issue with them sending the wrong headlamp , I ordered the normal one and they sent me the helmet mounted one by accident. I contacted support and they fixed it quickly and gave me a 10% discount because of the issue. You can use any 18650 in the headlamp as long as it can dish out enough amps that are required. I have 8+ batteries when I go camping and I cycle them out when they start to get low. You can tell its almost out of power when it switches down brightness and does not allow you to turn it back up.

Hi can the light on this be used while it is charging? Thanks!

@squashedflyracing2310 Год назад

Great vt ive just ordered one.. loved the original headlamp from nitecore hc50 until i lost it... and for sure this looks the bees knees as headlamps go...

@francisjames1377 Год назад

Awesome headlamp!

@PREPFORIT 2 года назад

Thanks again for the thoroughly detailed review and actual nighttime testing. Definitely a headlamp to put on the list. and "Bet your life on" is not something you say all the time ✔

@outerlimitless 2 года назад

It's true man...I used this a huge amount this past weekend...it's literally the perfect headlamp. I love it! Thanks for watching as always!

@danneh8777 11 месяцев назад

Any big difference between hc68 and hc65 v2? Thinking of getting hc65

@michaelnedsmar9106 10 месяцев назад

A few more lumens and very little price difference. I the ordered the 68 via amazon

@simonsays5979 Год назад

Does this headlamp have a memory so when you turn it back on it is where you left it?

@jonriley5695 11 месяцев назад

What lumen setting doesn't throttle?

@wagascz Год назад

Very nice review. Can this headlamp be charged from a USB-C charger via a USB-C to USB-C cable? Thank you

@outerlimitless Год назад

I would say definitely yes...but it depends on your power brick. You should not have any issues.

@hammockcamping2500 2 года назад

Is there any real advantage to having the flood setting? The spot setting seems to have plenty of side spill. In the video when he transitioned from spot to flood, it did not seem to improve the lighting to the sides much.

@outerlimitless 2 года назад

It's two things. Yes it makes a difference in the beam pattern... it removes the hot spot from the middle and evenly distributes the light. It's great for working around camp and general hiking. And beyond that... you can feather the mix to optimize your view which is what is the best part. The and second part is that you can effectively run the light on lower settings which allows conservation of the battery. Might not be critical to you but I'll tell ya... I'm not too keen on running out.

@hammockcamping2500 2 года назад

@@outerlimitless that makes sense - I think I was looking at the side spill when you were at the highest spot setting.

@ghostbond1074 Год назад

I own this light, you're right. The "spot" has very smooth and well done side spill. The "flood" I never use because the spot mode largely works better for everything. The video calling it "tightening it down" is innaccurate.

@SodiumSyndicate Год назад

@@outerlimitless Have you checked out the Nitecore NU43 ?, it weighs 116g & can do 600L for 10hrs, 300L for 15hrs, 100L for 29hrs, 1400L turbo for 30s. Plus can run with USB-C connection. It can basically run at high for all night at 600 Lumens.

@hectoraiziczon8775 6 месяцев назад

si bien está bien construída me decepcionó la potencia de la luz y el alcance de la misma. La utilizo para pescar en la costa y la que he venido usando ni tiene marca, s genérica y tiene más potencia y alcance y con una posibilidad de zoom manual muy útil y además me costó sólo 15 dólares contra la nitecore que gaste 100 dólares más el flete hasta mi país. Mi vieja linterna viene durando unos 6 años aunque tuve un problema con el interruptor que tuve que repararlo en forma casera. Si bien la HC68 es relativamente liviana, el hecho que lleva la batería en la parte frontal, la hace sentir más pesada que las linternas que llevan las baterías en la parte trasera. No la volvería a comprar, muy costosa en relación a su prestación. Una de las posiciones de uso es ultra-low que no sirve para nada. El sistema de la banda elástica para ajustar a la cabeza es algo complicado para el ajuste correcto. La compra directamente en la fábrica fue rápida y sencilla con respuesta rápida. While it is well built I was disappointed in the power of the light and the range of the light. I use it for fishing on the coast and the one I have been using does not even have a brand, it is generic and has more power and range and with a very useful manual zoom possibility and it cost me only 15 dollars against the Nitecore which cost me 100 dollars plus the freight to my country. My old flashlight has lasted about 6 years although I had a problem with the switch that I had to repair at home. While the HC68 is relatively light, the fact that it has the battery in the front makes it feel heavier than flashlights that have the batteries in the back. I would not buy it again, very expensive relative to its performance. One of the positions of use is ultra-low which is useless. The elastic headband system is a bit tricky to adjust to the head for proper fit. The purchase directly from the factory was quick and easy with quick response.

@dickdastardly5534 Год назад

How do these head torches compare to the LED lenser signature H19 ? I bought myself this model and am very happy with it. I’m guessing the Fenix and Olight are more available to the American markets.
