    Introduction:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Nitecore has a very wide range of flashlights. Their last light I reviewed was the 20,000 lumen Nitecore TM20K<\/a>, so this 15 lumen \u201cMini Signal Light\u201d is quite a contrast. What\u2019s a signal light I hear you ask? These kinds of lights are to catch people\u2019s attention, rather than to light something up. Imagine a red bike light or an indicator light on a car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Nitecore\u2019s NU range is mostly lightweight headlights, like the NU25 that\u2019s a favorite with the ultralight backpacking crowd. The NU06 LE looks very similar to their tiny NU05 headlamp and although it can be used as a headlight, it\u2019s designed more to show people where you are, than let you see other things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    What sets the NU06 LE apart is the range of colors: white, red, green and blue. It also has flashing modes for each color, including a red and blue combined flash. This is like a US police strobe, hence the LE (law enforcement) in the model name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Package quality.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    The NU06 LE comes in a printed box that lists all the light\u2019s info. It\u2019s a bigger box than I was expecting, due to the accessories that come with it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
