Description
The NITECORE UT6 Magnesium Alloy Three Color Temperatures Trail Running Headlamp features the MCT (Multiple Color Temperatures) lighting system, offering three color temperatures and three CRI options, with each color temperature capable of delivering up to 1,600 lumens and a maximum beam distance of 195 meters.
Weighing only 130g (4.59 oz), the NITECORE UT6 is powered by a 4,000mAh rechargeable Li-ion battery and provides up to 31 hours of runtime at 150 lumens. Combined with the Rapid Reel™ headband, Long-Runtime Mode, High-Performance Mode, and Lockout Mode, it is designed to meet the demanding lighting needs of 100-mile ultra races.
Featuring eight dual-core MCT UHE LEDs and a unibody multi-faceted optical lens system, the UT6 offers multiple color temperatures, CRI options, and high luminous efficiency. The 3,000K warm light (CRI 98) ensures clear visual perception in high-risk environments such as rain and fog; the 4,500K neutral white light (CRI 85) is suited for technical terrain like steep slopes and muddy trails; and the 6,500K cool white light (CRI 73) delivers high visual brightness ideal for broad, flat, low-risk terrain and long-range lighting.
Constructed from lightweight magnesium alloy — approximately 30% lighter than aluminum alloy of the same size — with a reinforced composite bracket and high-impact PC front shell, the UT6 delivers excellent heat dissipation, impact resistance, and low-temperature performance. Rated IP68 (2 metres submersible) and impact resistant to 2 metres, it maintains stable illumination in rain, mud, gravel, and other challenging terrains.
The patent-pending Rapid Reel™ headband allows quick one-handed adjustment on the go, tested through 10,000 stretch cycles and 30,000 fastening cycles for lasting reliability. A mode slider lets users switch seamlessly between Long-Runtime Mode, High-Performance Mode, and Lockout Mode to suit any race distance or terrain.
