Nitecore UT27 MCT

The Nitecore UT27 MCT is a lightweight, rechargeable, powerful headlamp with 3 colour modes. It is suitable for trail runners, but also for hikers and skiers.

• Warm light 3000K: Better penetration in fog and rain, without glare or reflections in the snow.


• Neutral light 4500K: For bivouacking.


• Cool light 6500K: Bright light for long hikes or night runs.

The lamp has two buttons, each controlling one of the two LEDs:

• White or neutral light with the ‘W’ button: with a maximum power of 500 lumens, it has a range of 132 metres and is suitable for all outdoor activities.


• Warm light with the ‘Y’ button: with a power of 500 lumens and a maximum range of 124 metres, it is ideal for activities in rain, snow or fog due to its superior penetration power.

Each light has 3 power modes: 100, 280 and 500 lumens. The turbo mode, which combines the 2 LEDs, can illuminate up to 160 metres thanks to its 800 lumens. To prevent overheating, this mode is only active for 30 seconds.

The UT27 MCT can operate with multiple power sources. The HLB1500 battery is supplied, but it can also run on 3 AAA batteries. The battery has a runtime of 2 hours 30 minutes at 500 lumens and 2 hours 30 minutes at 800 lumens. The battery has a USB-C output that allows it to be recharged without removing it from the headlamp. The battery compartment is phosphorescent for easy handling in the dark.
