The NU25 is in the kit because of weight. Runtime on high is short, which is fine if high is ten minutes of trail and low is the rest of camp. Recent versions moved to USB-C. Confirm that on the box. It is easier to lose than a larger lamp.

Who should buy it. Ultralight hikers who still want a real headlamp.

Standout limitation. A small battery and small buttons
