Description
Nitecore UT2000 – 2000 Lumens, 3-Color-Temperature Split-Style Trail Running Headlamp
The Nitecore UT2000 is built for ultra and night races where a front-heavy headlamp starts to hurt after a few hours. The light unit on your forehead weighs 4.3 oz, and the Carbon Battery 12K rides at the back of the strap to balance it. You can also skip the rear pack and run it from a USB-C power bank in your vest.
Output reaches 2000 lumens with a 240-yard beam. Three buttons switch straight to 3000K warm (best in fog and rain), 4500K neutral or 6500K cool white, and a red light on the back makes you visible to runners and cars behind you. A small backup cell gives about 30 minutes of light if the main battery dies mid-race.
