NU25 makes a good pocket headlamp
I've have a few small headlamps in the 18350 and 16340 size, but with the headband they were too bulky in my pocket imo. The Skilhunt H04 was close.
So far this plastic nitecore is ticking all the boxes for me for day to day garage work and night walking.
- 2 hours of runtime on high (and I usually use medium or low) is plenty for me
- fits in my pocket without a big bulge
- plenty bright
- the weird UI is actually nice for my pocket, you have to hold it to turn it on so no need for enabling lockout mode
My only complaint is that the "moonlight" mode is 7 lumens, which is a bit too bright. Also I wish it allowed for a slightly lower angle.
Currently my favorite EDC light.
Also I noticed a pot of reviews complain about the cord being annoying to adjust or getting tangled. I haven't had any issues with that. You adjust it once and done. It's vwry comfortable, I forget I'm wearing it.
