I found that rather than something new, I found a refinement to the classic NU25 that’s slightly lighter with some features that make the Sunblesa H11 a viable alternative. Especially if Nitecore phases out the classic and well regarded 2017 model many of us like. ... The past few months I've been testing out the gen 2 model and it's slightly lighter, a bit brighter, and a more focused and longer beam vs the Gen 1.
