NITECORE HC33 Headlamp

The NITECORE HC33 is a versatile high performance L-shaped headlamp. Utilizing a CREE XHP35 HD LED, the HC33 produces a scorching 1800 lumens output capable of reaching up to 204 yards away! The multipurpose L-shape design allows the headlamp to double as a handheld flashlight when removed from the included headband while the integrated magnetic tail cap and removable pocket clip provide hands-free mounting options for working or other activities.

A single push button switch offers convenient one-handed control of five brightness levels and three special modes (strobe, SOS, beacon). To power on the headlamp, simply press and hold the power switch. When powered on, press the switch to cycle through brightness levels. To access special modes, quickly double tap the switch when the headlamp is powered off. To cycle through special modes, tap the switch repeatedly. The HC33 runs on 1x IMR 18650, which offers better performance than AA batteries and a longer runtime of up to 330 hours.** The inclusion of a battery voltage indicator and reverse polarity protection makes the HC33 headlamp a highly adaptable headlamp for hiking, biking, working and more!

**Note: For the full output range, the HC33 requires an 18650 battery with >8A output. We recommend using the NITECORE NL1835HP 18650 battery which can be added via the above menu.The HC33 can also be powered by normal 18650 batteries, 2x CR123 or 2x RCR123 batteries in a pinch. However, Turbo will not be available using CR123As.

5 of 5 Excellent Product July 25, 2022
Reviewer: Janet Gardner from Coupeville, WA UnitedWa States  
Ran across an HC33 a few years ago and have loved it ever since.  I mistakenly bought batteries for a different headlamp and decided to purchase another headlamp which fit the batteries.  This one is even better!
All came in good packaging and on time.

5 of 5 Well thought out June 27, 2022
Reviewer: P. W. from California  
Super nice piece of kit. Solid as a little flash light for everyday use, good brightness and throw for what I need. I like the light without the extras, the magnetic tail and head strap just make it even more useful.

1 of 5 HC33 review doesn't have built in charger February 5, 2022
Reviewer: Larry D Webb from Iowa  
I didn't like the way mine was designed and so over time I tore it down and rebuilt.
The way it comes I had to take the battery out every time I wanted to charge which was every day given that I use it at least a hour a day.
I bought a Rigid headband from Mills Fleetfarm that is intended to be for welding helmets.
I built my new headlamp on the Fleetfarm headband.
I glued the Nitecore battery into the Nitecore charger and then mounted the charger to the side of the Rigid headband , had to solder wires and build a positive post coming out of the led light section , what a pita but in the end I ended up with a nice headlamp system that I can now simply plug in just like you would a cell phone.
Since rebuilding i no longer have to remove the battery every time I want to charge

I don't recommend buying the HC33 unless Nitecore redesigns it.

5 of 5 Most used item I own January 10, 2022
Reviewer: Dustin Evans from Salt Lake City, UT United States  
I use my HC33 headlamp just about every single night. I own a lot of tools and I don’t use any of them as much as I do this headlamp. It’s the second Nitecore headlamp I own and I can honestly say that they have both been amazing. The battery life is good, lasting me 3-4 days each. The Lowest light setting is very useful if you just need a tiny bit of light. The couple settings in between are low and Turbo are the most useful and where 99% of my usage is. Turbo mode is insanely bright.   When you do want to light up EVERYTHING Turbo mode will do it with ease   You cannot go wrong when you purchase a Nitecore product.
     I also own and use 2 Nitecore chargers daily which I also love. I always have multiple fresh batteries ready to go.   Thanks Nitecore for building such great products.
