The Nitecore Tube is one of our all-time favorite EDC lights thanks to its solid features, wallet-friendly price, and compact size. But since you can only really hold it underhand or in between your teeth, it isn’t the best for more specialized tasks. Nitecore’s new T360 is a more work-oriented light, taking the best qualities from the original Tube (like its 45 lumen output and USB charging) while adding more user-friendly features. The secret is in the T360’s base. Centered on the included nylon headband, it frees up both hands for more demanding tasks. Thanks to a unique spherical joint, the T360 also rotates freely, now able to illuminate from every angle. Best of all, the base itself is actually a bracket clip. This means you can mount it onto your jeans pocket, backpack strap, or hat. Combined with its rotating joint, it makes the T360 quite a handy light. If you liked the original Tube but need a bit more versatility, then the T360 is the lightweight workhorse for you.
