When given a chance to test out the @sunblesa hH1 When given a chance to test out the @sunblesa hH11 headlamp, it seemed like an opportunity to try something new.

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.  And a great deal at under $30.

 The jaunt encompassed not quite 70 miles of packrafting and ~180 miles of backpacking while seeing four national park units, two national monuments, and one USFS wilderness area.
