Performance

Weighing under 100g with the band, the NU27 stays put without pressure. Its dual-beam setup gives you wide flood and focused throw in one unit, and the red light saves night vision when stealth is key. USB-C charging tightens the workflow, while the battery level indicator keeps surprises out of the equation. It’s a clean mix of comfort, clarity, and control.

Final Thoughts

The NU27 is the kind of light you forget you’re wearing — until it’s doing exactly what you need. Lightweight but built with serious intent, it slips into kits for night movement, gear maintenance, or blackouts with equal ease. When you need hands free and eyes sharp, this is the one.
