Nitecore HA29 UHE MCT – 1200 Lumen All-Weather Outdoor Headlamp
The Nitecore HA29 UHE is a high-performance all-weather headlamp built for demanding outdoor environments. It delivers up to 1200 lumens with a beam distance of 185 yards (170 meters), stays operational in extreme cold down to -40°F (-40°C), carries IPX8 waterproof protection, and keeps performing at altitudes up to 10,000 meters — all at just 3.95 ounces. Going Gear is an authorized Nitecore dealer.
Three Color Temperatures Plus Red Light
The HA29 UHE's MCT (Multiple Color Temperatures) system matches the light to the conditions: 3000K warm light at CRI 98 cuts through rain, fog, and snow with clear visual perception in high-risk terrain; 4500K neutral white at CRI 85 handles steep slopes, stream trekking, and muddy trails; and 6500K cool white delivers maximum brightness and runtime for camping and night running. A dedicated red light mode preserves night vision, and the dual-button interface includes a lockout mode to prevent accidental activation in a pack.
TrueVision+ Optical System
A unibody multi-faceted optical lens system with over 94% light transmission spreads a soft, even flood beam wider than 100 degrees — clearer vision across the whole trail instead of a harsh hotspot.
Three Ways to Power
The included HLB2500 All-Weather Battery Pack is engineered for freezing conditions, retaining 80% or more of its capacity at -40°F where conventional li-ion batteries fail — maintaining roughly 400 lumens on HIGH in extreme cold. The HA29 UHE also runs on the lightweight HLB1500 rechargeable pack or standard AAA batteries for easy field replacement, and an ultralow mode stretches runtime up to 122 hours. The included multipurpose clip mounts the light to hats, backpacks, and gear.
