Simply going to USB-C and the new battery meter would have possibly made me get the newer version but I don't like any of the other changes. I really like the warm flood light as well as the ultra low light settings on both the red and white light which was removed on the gen 2. Ill be sticking to my original gen1 NU25 and hope nitecore goes back to the drawing board before it quits on me!
Tim, what’s ironic is this review sounds just like a conversation I had with a couple buddies who come from the same area of my past career. We were all looking to pick up a headlamp and I suggested the NU25 because of yours. When we looked at the new ones, we all were disappointed at the changes made. Not a fan. Hopefully they’ll revert to the old design & setup and incorporate the long battery life of the new one.

Sometimes "fixing" things just for the sake of a commercial gimmick creates backfire 😟
Long press the small mode button for instant red light.
The 400 lumen mode does not last long, I continue, but at 200 lumens it is capable of giving several hours without reducing power?thanks!!!!

I just got this and I strongly disagree lol. Maybe they made some changes to the software since you got yours though
Nice information. I'm still in love with the old model. I'm sure NU had their reasons for the changes.
Same. I use the old model, instead of the new ones.
Yeah WHY!! WHY!! #Nitecore???
Best review
I’m pissed they took out moonlight mode!!
Agreed!
