NITECORE NU32, 1800 MAH HEADLAMP, 550 LUMEN,

NU32

Packaging & First Impressions

This is what the light will come with as shown below.

• The headlamp is sealed from factory – disassembly is not recommended (and would nullify warranty).
• It is designed to be a purely headlamp model only so no clip is provided to pocket carry the light.
• The 2 electronic switches have a slight tactile feel that produces a soft audible click upon activation.
• Polycarbonate (PC) body feels sturdy without any flex when pressed.
• Detents on headlamp bracket (that enables the 60° adjustable angle) has some slight flex when twisted, but should hold up to day-to-day abuse without issue.
• Headband provided is of good quality and should withstand day-to-day abuse without issue.
• Scanning the QR code with your phone/tablet on the box’s back would bring up the Nitecore NU32’s product page.
