Nitecore TrailSight 1200 Lumens - Trail Running Flashlight Waist-Level Magnesium Rechargeable

The Nitecore TrailSight is a waist-level trail running flashlight, designed as a secondary light source to reveal what your headlamp misses. Carried at waist level in a running vest or pack, its low lighting angle highlights rocks, roots, elevation changes and trail markers for better terrain anticipation. Its NiteLab UHi 20 LED delivers 1,200 lumens and a 530m beam distance (70,347cd) for long-range scanning. Its specially tuned neutral white beam reduces distracting reflections in rain, fog and snow. Its die-cast magnesium alloy body keeps weight to just 121g, making the TrailSight the essential tool for serious trail runners.

Three Calibrated Brightness Levels and Trail Runtime

The TrailSight offers 3 brightness levels calibrated for trail running: HIGH 1200lm for long-range scanning on open sections, MID 400lm for technical and difficult terrain with 14h of runtime, LOW 150lm for extended night runs with 46h of runtime. The included NL1840R 4000mAh USB-C rechargeable battery charges directly via the included USB-C to USB-C cable. A battery level indicator keeps you informed of remaining power. ⚠️ Compatible only with button-top 18650 batteries (3.6V/3.7V). Flat-top 18650 batteries are incompatible.

Magnesium Construction and Trail Portability

Beyond its output, the TrailSight stands out for its lightness and ergonomics: its die-cast magnesium alloy body delivers exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, while the reinforced composite outer shell ensures a secure grip. Its streamlined, near-uniform shape allows effortless storage in a running vest pocket, waist pack or backpack. The included lanyard keeps it within reach at all times. Use it when trail visibility demands it, pocket it when the trail opens up, the TrailSight disappears as quickly as it appears.
