- Is there a NEW KING on the throne when it comes to Ultra-Light headlamps? The NU25 (2017) has been the KING since the release and is the most popular headlamp for UL-Hikers at only 30 grams body only and with a DYI headband at 36 grams. But now since the release of a very similar but IMPROVED product from SUNBLESA, the H11... the NU25 it is truly challenged!
Will the NU25 hold the throne or loose it to its contender, let’s find out!

USBC 👉The SUNBLESA H11 headlamp I reviewed in this episode will soon be available with USBC!
Micro usb is a deal breaker for me. I got the nu-25 mostly because of the usb-c. Going forward, it is usb-c or bust for all my electronics (home and camping), and high speed usb-c cables to connect them. Overall, a nice video one the new headlight. Thanks for taking the time and effort to share you knowledge with us.
It is 2023 and Micro usb is a deal breaker for me. That is why I prefer the Nitecore NU25 UL. Nice review though. Thank you.
micro usb in 2023 - nice joke 😐
I had to test the sunblesa head lamp earlier and its a winner for me. I am find the with micro usb as I have several items who require that one.
The high CRI version with USB-C looks like a decent upgrade to the NU25, although it would be nice to be able to access low/high power red-only modes without having to cycle through green or white light.
Dear Robert, Thank you very much for your honest and true review on Sunblesa Headtorch H11. Regarding Type C, finished testing now.Will release Upgraded headtorch with Type C in following months.Regarding brightness and run time,we warmly welcome people test and compare with Black Diamond, Petzl etc. brands similar models.We really hope make better and reliable light for people to use.We Sunblesa always welcome true using feedback(good or bad comments) from any user.These comments are very helpful for us for future upgraded and improvement. Best regards./Gavin/Sunblesa
Three things I don't like:
I have this head lamp and currently on a 350 mile hike, day 4. And so far I love this lamp. The only downfalls are the charging port and there isnt any warning when it's about to die but with that said I love this little thing. It's comfy and easy to use.
I don't want to carry around a micro USB since all other devices I use have USB-C. If they would upgrade it to USB-C, I might consider it for next headlamp.
Hi Roger! I came to your channel today specifically looking for a headlamp :) My current one is just a cheapo from Decathlon, but I'm preparing for a trip where on 1 day I think we would be hiking in the dark for a good 5 hours, including some technical segments definitely venturing into mountaineering (harness, ropes). So definitely I need an extra one as I would like to have backup in case the battery dies/or expect battery to die and needing a 2nd one on the same hike.
All my electronics are specifically tailored to be light AND use USB-C to only have one cable. Ultralight is not just about light weight, its also about simplicity for me, carrying several cables is a non-starter. Flextail is about to release the 1.2oz pump, I LOVE the idea behind it, but the battery inside kills my excitment for it. The only rechargeable batteries I have seen for it are micro USB. Micro USB is going to be a hard pass for me.
NU25 isn't that great because it's USB only and I've never seen a tree with an USB plug, have you? I prefer Black Diamond or PETZL because both brands offers headlamps with dual power (batteries and rechargeable pack). Another major drawback for the NU25 is its internal battery. It's a very low 650mAh. For comparison, BD pack is 1500mAh and PETZL's Core is 1250mAh.
I understand why there is White and red light, but what is the green light used for?
Micro usb 😒
I'll join the USB-C train, though i have a single cable with little adapters attached to it. I don't need another cable for mini USB, i just find it to be less durable, more difficult to use, and typically slower to charge.
No holes in the bracket? How to add one's own UL headband?
Can you make video on NU21
You must cycle through green low & high to get to red high? Hikers want red immediately!. No red low?
