The specification is unchanged, and the thing worth understanding before buying is how seven lighting modes are made workable from a single side mounted button on a lamp weighing 85 grams.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMycro 500 Plus spot and flood output\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is a spotlight and a COB floodlight, and they do genuinely different jobs. The spot handles distance: Turbo gives 500 lumens to 90 metres in 30 second intervals, High holds 200 lumens to 60 metres for an hour, Medium runs 100 lumens to 42 metres for 2 hours, and Low provides 30 lumens to 23 metres for 3 hours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe COB flood handles everything within arm's reach, at 200 lumens over 24 metres for 25 minutes on high, or 50 lumens for an hour on low. A COB red mode gives 25 lumens for 35 minutes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSeven modes from one button would normally mean a long cycle and a lot of pressing. What makes it tolerable is that the two sources are separated in the sequence rather than interleaved, so you are choosing a light type first and a level second rather than scrolling past six irrelevant options to reach the one you want.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDirect-to-Red on a headlamp specifically\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRed light preserves dark adaptation, which takes twenty minutes to build and a moment of white light to destroy. On a handheld torch that matters. On a headlamp it matters considerably more, because the lamp is pointed at whatever you look at, including other people, and a headlamp cycling up through white to reach red will blind everyone facing you on the way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDirect-to-Red goes straight there. In a tent, a hide, an observatory, a shared camp or a night shift where somebody else is trying to keep their eyes adjusted, that is the difference between a usable lamp and an unpopular one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHeadlamp or cap light\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA detachable clip with adjustable tilt lets the unit come off the head strap and mount on the brim of a cap, a jacket pocket or a bag strap. That suits anyone who dislikes a band around their head, anyone already wearing a hat, and anyone who wants the light lower than eye level to cut down on shadows across close work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy the finish is on the list\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMatte black with minimal branding is aimed at professional trades, workshops and inspection work, where equipment covered in logos is either unwelcome or simply unwanted. A matte surface also avoids reflecting the beam back at you off the lamp housing when working close to a bright surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTurbo in 30 second intervals\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 500 lumen Turbo setting is quoted in 30 second intervals rather than as a runtime, and that is the honest way to specify it. Five hundred lumens from a lamp this size produces heat faster than an 85 gram housing can shed it, so Turbo is a burst for identifying something at 90 metres rather than a mode to work in. High, at 200 lumens for an hour, is the real top setting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat it shares with the standard model\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe optics, the emitters, the battery, the clip, the strap and every published output figure are identical to the standard Mycro 500 Plus. The difference is the finish and nothing else, which makes this a straightforward choice: pay the difference if the matte black and the absent branding matter to you, and buy the standard version if they do not.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBuild and power\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSmart Power Control balances output against remaining charge. Protection is IPX4 with impact resistant construction. Charging is USB-C with a battery charging indicator, and an adjustable one size head strap and cable are supplied. The unit weighs 85 grams including the strap and measures 73 by 31 by 26 millimetres.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRechargeable 2-in-1 headlamp and cap light.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExclusive Black Line matte black finish with minimal branding.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum output of 500 lumens with a beam distance of up to 90 metres.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpotlight and COB floodlight for versatile illumination.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeven lighting modes including Turbo, High, Medium, Low, COB High, COB Low and COB Red.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmart Power Control™ optimises brightness and battery performance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirect-to-Red feature for instant access to red light mode.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdjustable tilt mechanism for precise beam positioning.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetachable cap light clip for quick conversion between headlamp and cap light.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUSB-C rechargeable battery.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBattery charging indicator.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSide-mounted button for simple operation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIPX4 water-resistant and impact-resistant construction.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes adjustable head strap and USB-C charging cable.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal for professional trades, workshops, inspections, outdoor activities and everyday hands-free lighting.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpot light:\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTurbo (500 lumens), 30 second intervals \/ 90 meters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh (200 lumens), 1 hour \/ 60 meters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMedium (100 lumens), 2 hours \/ 42 meters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLow (30 lumens), 3 hours \/ 23 meters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlood light:\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCOB HIGH (200 lumens), 25 mins \/ 24 meters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCOB LOW (50 lumens), 1 hours \/ 11 meters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCOB RED (25 lumens), 35 mins \/ 8 meters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperation: Side-positioned button controls power and modes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBatteries: Powered by rechargeable battery (included)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccessories: Adjustable head strap; one size fits all, USB-C to USB charging cable included, Rechargeable battery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 85g (inc. strap)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(L) 73mm x (W) 31mm x (H) 26mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"NEBO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50239264162032,"sku":"15865","price":877.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0574\/2651\/0008\/files\/Nebo-Mycro-500-Plus-Black-Line-Headlamp-and-Cap-Light.jpg?v=1787236107","url":"https:\/\/neonsales.co.za\/products\/nebo-mycro-500-plus-headlamp-black","provider":"NeonSales","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
