NEBO launches brightest ever headlamp: the TRANSCEND™ 3000

When performance matters, light makes the difference. At NEBO, we are committed to pushing the boundaries of portable illumination. The Transcend 3000 is our brightest headlamp to date, delivering an impressive 3,000 lumens of hands-free lighting power. Built for adventurers, tradespeople and professionals who demand reliability in any environment, this innovative model combines extreme output with intelligent design, offering far more than a traditional head torch.
Maximum power, ultimate control

At the heart of the Transcend 3000 is its ability to adapt instantly to your needs. With a rotary mode selector dial, users can quickly switch between high, medium and low settings without cycling through every mode. Precision lighting control means you get the right level of illumination for the task at hand.
The Transcend 3000 offers five modes in total:
- Turbo: 3,000 lumens, reaching up to 223 metres, in controlled 30-second bursts
- High: 1,500 lumens for up to 2 hours
- Medium: 750 lumens for up to 4.5 hours
- Low: 50 lumens for up to 45 hours
- Strobe: for signalling or emergencies
Turbo mode can be activated instantly by pressing and holding the power button, while a double-tap engages strobe. The intelligent design ensures that when Turbo or Strobe is deactivated, the headlamp returns to the previous mode without fuss.
Smart power management
The Smart Power Control (SPC) system is designed to maximise both brightness and runtime. SPC automatically regulates light output as the battery depletes, maintaining consistent illumination for as long as possible. Instead of a sudden drop in performance, brightness is gradually reduced to extend usage. It is technology that keeps you equipped with dependable light, whether you are trekking through the night or working late into the evening.
A battery charge indicator is built into the power button, providing at-a-glance status updates. A solid glow means more than 25% charge remains, while a flashing light warns you when power falls below this level. Combined with the USB-C rechargeable battery and clear LED charge indicator, you’ll never be caught unprepared.
Engineered for real-world use

The Transcend 3000 is as versatile as it is powerful. Its detachable head strap mount allows it to double as a freestanding work light. A magnetic base secures it to any metal surface, freeing up your hands for practical tasks in workshops, garages or on-site.
The housing is made from our signature anodised aircraft-grade aluminium, a material renowned for its strength-to-weight ratio. It offers exceptional protection for the internal components, resisting impacts and delivering reliable performance even in harsh conditions. With an IPX7 water-resistance rating, the Transcend 3000 can withstand temporary immersion in up to one metre of water for 30 minutes. Rain, mud and accidental drops are no match for its resilience.
Designed with comfort in mind

Power means little without comfort. The Transcend 3000 has been designed with ergonomics at its core. Wide, reflective straps distribute weight evenly, ensuring long-lasting comfort during extended wear. The adjustable tilt mechanism allows you to direct light exactly where it is needed, whether you are navigating trails, working under vehicles or setting up camp after dark.
The inclusion of four hard hat clips extends its versatility further, making it a trusted tool for professional environments. From construction sites to emergency response, the Transcend 3000 delivers dependable, hands-free light when and where it matters.
