New Product Announcement: NITECORE HC35 2700 Lumen L-Shape Headlamp

Just received mine from Illumn.com and charged up the included battery. The build quality is great and feels good in the hand. It has a unibody design where the head and battery tube is one piece, which allows the entire flashlight body to be used for heat dissipation, which is an excellent design IMO. Also the deep fins in the back of the head are excellent for head shedding. Light looks great too.

However, I don't like the UI. Click to turn on, click to change modes, and click and hold to turn off. If I knew the UI was like this, I would not have bought the light. The single button UI on the Olights, Thrunites, and Acebeams are so much more intuitive and simple. Also I'm surprised Nitecore used Micro USB instead of the much preferred USB-C given how new this light is. Nitecore should offer a 4000K version since head lamps are much more useful and easier on the eyes at warmer temperatures. I'm disappointed in all the manufacturers offering CW only. Even Olight is starting to offer NW emitters like in the popular M2R Pro and Warrior X Pro.

Output measurements taken at 2s after turn-on using Texas Ace Lumen Tube calibrated with Maukka lights. Spectrometer used is the Sekonic C-800-U
