Unfortunately, I have to admit that this is a disappointment. The headlamp has a serious issue with heat dissipation, which means that the stated 2000 lumens is a value it only achieves briefly after being switched on. After several dozen seconds of use in turbo mode, the light begins to gradually fade to protect the device from overheating. This is particularly apparent when the device is connected through a meter to a power bank – the initial draw is around 12V 1.7A, but after a short while it can drop to as low as 0.5A. In reality, a power bank with a maximum output of 6W is enough, because after 2-3 minutes the headlamp draws roughly this much power. The idea of external power supply is, in my opinion, very positive and was the main reason for my choice, but after the purchase I regret this decision. I was counting on powerful light all night by using a power bank. I've always been a fan of Olight, and after testing my friend's Fenix headlamp I was convinced that their build quality is very high. Here, unfortunately, the heat sink is practically non-existent or it's been hidden at the back, where there is no good airflow. I don't understand why the entire unit wasn't made of metal, which would have significantly improved heat dissipation. This is the first time I've encountered something like this – my Olight headlamp gets warm all over, but still provides more reliable light even after longer use, even though it only has 1500lm. If this information had been on the product page, I wouldn't feel disappointed – I simply wouldn't have bought this headlamp (it is in the instructions, so in my opinion Militaria should have placed a power drop graph directly in the product description). It's a bit like buying a car with a 200hp engine that only delivers full power for a dozen seconds. I reluctantly give it a stretched 4, though I really should give it a painful 3.

Nitecore HU2000 Head Torch - 2000 lumens
A torch equipped with a 10-core UHE LED, which generates a luminous flux of up to 2,000 lumens and can illuminate an area up to 160 metres away. In low-power mode, it can operate continuously for 66 hours. For full power, it is necessary to connect a powerbank of 20W or more that supports the PD protocol.
TrueVision technology
The built-in TrueVision technology provides more intense and natural light thanks to the high optical transmittance of 94%. This facilitates realistic colour reproduction and spatial perception of the illuminated elements.
Robust design, IP68 protection class
Made from durable and lightweight polycarbonate, the design meets IP68 - it is completely dustproof and resistant to continuous immersion in water up to a depth of 2 metres. The case can also withstand drops from up to 1 metre.
power supply by powerbank, emergency mode
The torch is powered by a powerbank (not included in the set). In emergency situations, power is taken over by the built-in 3.6 V, 40 mAh battery, allowing the device to continue operating for up to 30 minutes after the external power source is disconnected.
two control buttons, simple operation
Two buttons on the top of the housing allow quick switching between light colour (white, red) and brightness levels. Pressing both buttons at the same time activates a lock to prevent the torch from being turned on accidentally.
Work modes
Performance using a powerbank with an output greater than or equal to 20W supporting the PD protocol:

Performance when using a powerbank with an output of less than 20W that does not support PD:
Primary White Light
- High - 1000 lumens / 6 h / 120 meters
- Mid - 400 lumens / 10 h / 75 metres
- Low - 180 lumens / 20 h / 50 metres

- Low - 5 lumens / 51 h / 5 metres
- Slow Flashing - 15 lumens / - / -
Elastic band, clip, USB-C cable
An adjustable elastic band allows the torch to fit the user's head. Reflective elements and a rear red LED improve visibility after dark. A clip for mounting on a baseball cap, for example, and a USB-C cable are also included in the set.
