Jump to: Our Verdict / Features / Specifications

A low profile and lightweight, powerful head torch that can be clipped onto a cap or worn with the traditional headband.

NEBO says: 

The MYCRO 500+ Headlamp & Cap Light is a rechargeable, hands-free 500 lumen lighting solution with both spot light and flood light modes. The integrated tilt feature allows you to position the beam exactly where you want it.

Our Verdict

I love the feature of being able to clip this onto a cap, as I often find head torches uncomfortable, especially if I’m wearing one for a prolonged period. Having the option to switch between wearing it on a cap or attaching it to a headband is always good.

You can charge the battery on the go with the included charging cable, and it’s a USB-C port, so it charges fast.

The torch has an impressive seven main settings, so whether you are searching for something in your tent or are night hiking, you can tailor not only the power of the torch but also the beams spread depending on the activity you are doing.
