    Based on your review of the NU32, I bought one. And I've had it for years, and it still is a great headlamp. I am 48 years old, with a 22 year old son. The NU33 will be my Christmas present to him this year, thank you for the review. I have never been disapointed with a product that I have purchased based on a review of yours. I have utmost respect for the way you conduct your "Agenda Free" channel, it matters, (integrity).

    The NU25 is the most popular headlamp of Appalachian Trail long distance hikers. It's small, light and relatively rugged and has red and white light functions with several settings each. The feature that I am particularly fond of is the ability to lock the switches by pressing them both, simultaneously, thus preventing the light from being accidentally turned on in your pack. There are numerous tutorials on RUclips on how to replace the original headband with shock cord and a cord lock to lighten it even further than the stock unit. It's awesome! Get the yellow one so you won't be as likely to lose it. It's TINY!

      I have the NU25 UL. It's perfect except the rubber cover to the USB-C. It's difficult to close the rubber lid. I used it on a heavy rain and water got in. It died a few weeks later.

    Agreed, the NU33 is a solid headlamp. I have preferred the simplicity and lightweight of the v1 NU25. The v2 NU25 added too much complexity. The NU33 seems to have the balance.

  • @tamahagane6083
    @tamahagane6083 Год назад +7

    Thanks for your review Luke. I have the NU32, and multiple other Nitecore products. I’m tempted to pick this up, but am torn as I also have a Fenix HM65R-T that is brighter (1500 lumens) has longer run times, is waterproof, replaceable batteries, weighs just slightly more at 3.21 oz. For me it works great, but having the NU33 as a backup headlamp would make sense. Thanks

    For those that want that light with removable batts: get the Black Diamond Spot 350.
    Almost the same lamp, without the turbo (that ramps down anyway) and light and great. It takes 3xAAA - put some Eneloops in there and you're ready for anything. 👍
    Oh, and it's way cheaper.

    Just bought a NU33, after comparing it with petzl arctik core and black diamond storm 500r in a shop.
    Went fishing this night and what can I say ?
    For me it has everything a headlamp needs to have👌😎
    If you once got used to the redlight of the NU33, you don't want to use a different redlight.
    Only negative aspect about it...
    After you used it you don't want to take it off 😬
    I can recommend the NU33.

Just absolutely love it. Comfortable to wear and very light weight.

    @garywood702 Год назад +16

    I recently purchased their NU25 I believe? Anyways, loving that little light! Tiny, very light, puts out all the light I need from a headlamp and I really like the fact that there is a separate switch for red light mode so one doesn't have to start with white light and then cycle through the lighting modes with a selector switch. Plus the red light mode on that light has a low, high, and flash settings. I was eyeballing some of their other offerings, but having that separate switch for red light mode was the deciding factor for me.

    love my nu33.. you can also go straight to flood, red and special modes by pressing specific buttons.. as for water resistance ip66 its quite good.. as long as the usb port is sealed.. heavy rain with high winds is not a problem.. just not submersible.. the ability to work while charging is a bonus too.. 700lumens turbo doesn't step down fast like other flashlight.. although i agree there should have been an ultra low red.. as 13lumens of red light is really bright.. 👍😊

    I've been using the 25 for for about a year and have been really happy with it. The 33 looks huge by comparison. I also have the same issue with the strap. Probably going to do the shock cord mod to deal with that and also drop the weight down to 1 oz.

      They recently updated the NU25. I'm still not 100% convinced the 'updates' were all positive. I like that you can get the shockcord as a factory option but the loss of high-CRI and red-light brightness levels is a huge miss IMO. In using it, I feel the new one thermally dims aggressively, but I'm still testing.

    Great review, I would have liked to have you discuss more of the differences with the NU32. I bought the NU32 a while ago and have enjoyed it too. Currently, it's still working fine but I am always interested in improvements. Thanks again for a good video

    • @usamade5943
      @usamade5943 Год назад +2

      The buttons on the 33 are much better quality, the spotlight is more powerful, the high cri light (50 lumens) encompasses a larger and more uniform viewing area for reading than the nu32's, (19 lumens) though the nu32's dual lights emit more white light while the 33's single one has a somewhat yellow tint. The battery power indicator is more pleasing on the 33, but the strap loops twice around my large head on the 32, while the 33 only has a single loop. That explains always having to adjust the headband when active. The part that rests on your head on the 33 has the strap directly on your skin (or hat) while the 32 has it in front of the plastic piece, so it never gets stained by the oils on your skin like the 33 will. As mentioned, the usb cover is much easier to use on the 33. On the 32, there's a certain technique that's easy to do to snug the cover correctly. I call it "the push and wiggle" with the tip of your index finger.

      I’ve had the NU25 for a good few years, which is also rated IP66 and I’ve been out it torrential rain, it’s got completely soaked numerous times and hasn’t missed a beat. It really crapped all over other head torches I have tried and tested, including my Pretzel.

    • @commentsonthetube14
      @commentsonthetube14 Год назад +5

      Honestly, I've used an nu25 for years with the same water resistance level and it's never been a problem. Have hiked in rain, snow, paddle trips, etc and it's been fine. Unless y'all want to swim in the lake at night or something, I don't see why it needs to be that waterproof.

  • @LoneRiderz
    @LoneRiderz Год назад +1

    I've never needed an ultra-bright headlamp for running at night. I regularly do 10K up to a half-marathon trail runs at night and I'm in Asia where the growth is thick and tall here. In order of importance I'd go for a wide beam angle, long runtime followed by weight. Once my eyes adjust to the dark all I need is about 100 lumens and I've gone even lower to about 60.

Everything else was great, it had 2 levels of brightness for the red light, you could charge it via the USB port AND had the option of using 3 AAAs in it. I never used batteries but the option was a great backup. Now trying to decide to get another 35 or maybe this one. The hinge would probably be ok but I’d have to be more careful with it.

    I've never seen the NU33, but I own 2 HC65 headlamps by Nitecore, and from my research the HC65 seems to beat the NU33 in nearly every way. The 65 is much better at getting wet. It uses common replaceable rechargeable batteries. It is lighter than the NU33. The HC65 is my favorite flashlight ever, and I'm a bit of a nerdy flashlight nut. Maybe you would like the NU33 better, but it might be worth researching the HC65, or the V2 version of it, or the HC68.

    They should have put the charge port on the side so you can charge and run/hike like the NU32 for hours of light time without requiring an adapter, they also should have put the charge levels leds where the port is to accommodate that.

    question, can it run (while being charged) from an external power bank like my previous gen nu25 ???

    The lock out mode, holding the two buttons. Is that a power lock out? The head lamp I’m using now has a very sensitive on button, it usually turns on in my pocket or backpack

    Luke check out the Fenix HL60R it's by far the best headlamp I've ever used, more lumens replaceable 18650 battery heavy duty construction aluminum body but still light weight enough to be used without center over head band.

    I don't like how big it is. I love my NU25, that thing is a champ, long lasting, nice beam, I forget it's on it's so light.

    I have high quality headlamps in my arsenal, and then I have "throwdowns" that I don't care if get lost. I like to have one in easy reach when I'm working out in the garage or around the house, seems you never know when one will come in handy and I hate having to walk all the way from one end of the property to the other!

    How does it compare to the Energizer headlamp? Specifically the rechargeable or the voice activated ones?

    I've been using the nu32 for the last 3-4 years as my work headlight. Extremely satisfied with the thing! I'm an elevator technician and many times it happens that i use up all the life of the battery in a day. So I came across this review for the newer model nu33.
    I've been watching your videos and like the honesty in your reviews. One of them, persuaded me to get my Osprey backpack.
    Anyhow, on the headlight again. You say that it only puts out 200lm on the high setting. Do you have a comparison with the nu32 on this feature?
    Because i mostly use it on high (not turbo) and i need the thing to last at least 6-7 hours.
    Thank you for your videos!

    Do you have a recommendation on battery operated handheld flashlights? You've probably already done videos on these I'm just trying to figure out which ones they are

    Good review but I will stick with my Olight Array 2S. The red lamp has multiple settings.

    The sealed battery is a deal breaker for me. If I'm on a multi-day trip, how will I recharge the light? The only solutions I can think of are carrying a solar recharger or a power bank with enough watt-hours for the entire trip. Also, a caver would need the turbo mode most of the time in a cave, leaving only 4 hrs of use, since solar won't work. Besides, waiting for more than 15 min. to recharge the light is out of the question. Carrying spare batteries like disposable lithium or rechargeable AAs or AAAs is my choice. My ideal, however, is a rechargeable Li-poly that can be replaced with AA or AAA when the rechargeable runs out of energy.

    Is the headband removable. After a lot of sweating you'll want to be able to wash it. How much heat does the light on high setting produce against your head?

    So with a Lithium Ion battery, you would be good for 500 or so charge cycles. If you used it once a week, it would last about ten years. I tend to use headlamps that have user replaceable batteries, that I can buy off the shelf.

    My old nitecore that I've been trying to find a replacement for just totally stopped working just now. And I used it every night broke 2 of the hinges and the first time they replaced. They said I could replace it again but I'm trying to find another. The battery is pretty degraded after years. Oh yes and the headstrap must have lost a piece or something cause it never stayed tight.
