Nitecore TUBE V2

The Nitecore TUBE V2 is a keychain torch weighing just 9.6 g with a built-in battery and steplessly adjustable output from 1 to 55 lm. The flood-only beam with a 25 m range is built more for lighting your immediate surroundings — digging through a pack in the dark, reading a map, or moving around camp — than for throwing light down a trail. Charging is via USB-C, and runtime on the lowest setting reaches up to 58 hours, making it a dependable long-haul backup on a multi-day trip. A lock mode prevents accidental activation in a pocket, and splash resistance (IPX6) extends its usefulness in wet conditions. At under 10 g it's one of the lightest lights in Nitecore's catalogue — best treated as an emergency backup alongside a primary headlamp rather than a replacement for one, since the flood pattern and limited range aren't built for navigating terrain at distance.
