Petzl Tikka Headlamp - Gray

What's not to like about these headlamps. We use them camping. They have three brightness levels. Easy on and off. Easy head adjustment. Putting batteries in is tricky. Word of caution, only use Energizer batteries, do not use the Duracell they send you. I had to throw away my last one Duracells leaked and damaged the headlight. I am finding this to be an issue in all my electronics!

Reliable. Bright. 3 modes easy to switch between. Durable build. Comfortable in head. Nice bright/wide light beam. Feels easy on head, light. Batteries seem to last a long time using good quality AAA batteries- they’re easy to replace with a firm closing battery compartment. I like that it glows after use so if you need to find it again, you can see it glowing. feels like a great value for price. Much better than some of the rechargeable ones that seem to not last very long. This has been very reliable for camping, working on car, power outage situations and other uses - i just grab it when sink now need a light.

I have a couple white light Petzl headlamps I use for backpacking and what not; picked this up for night flying. Decent value among name brand lights, good life out of 3x AAA batteries (and easy to replace), and great light choices. The red color is not excessively bright, just as it should be. That said it's worth a few minutes of in-service before you need to use it in the cockpit. Like most lights the on/off switch controls every function. Now I need to go flying (and backpacking) more often.

Always been a fan of Petzl headlamps. They just work and are good quality.

Great light. Purchased for gift, after previously buying one. Great light for camping, mechanics or for those who are getting older and just need a little more light, when working on things. Headlamp is very bright. Headband is comfortable and stable. Battery life is great. Highly recommend.

I have two Petzl headlamps, their major shortcoming is they don't have a battery level indicator, which means I either replace batteries unnecessarily or risk the device dying on me in the dark. This model promised a battery level indicator, so I purchased one. I am a mechanical engineer and in the mid 1980s worked for a company that put LED battery indicators on every flashlight we sold. Forty years ago. Wait there's more. The instruction sheet warns user there could be eye damage if you look directly into the beam from closer than six feet away. So where's the battery indicator? Yep, it's on the same axis as the main LED and less than an inch away and not labeled and about the size of a pinhead. I couldn't think of a worse way to do this. It's dangerous. It is going to damage the vision of users. This should not have been released and should be recalled. The only way to use it is to cover the main LED with one finger and look at the indicator, but if you inadvertently turn on the red LED that will blind you. Oh, and it's very difficult to open, you need a tool or you risk tearing a fingernail. This is done by the designer to ensure enough force to seal the o-ring, and not require a cam lever which frequently breaks. I don't like this feature but put up with it as the competing products were not reliable. Lastly their one piece lithium battery is nice but obscenely overpriced. I use a headlamp for work every day, it can't run out of power or fail, it's safety gear, and I can't easily carry or deploy spares. So far their products have been the most reliable, but the new battery level indicator design is criminal. It's going to damage the vision of unsophisticated users.

Purchased my first Petzl Tikka headlamp over five years ago. Still going strong. Purchased this one as a gift for my son, which he loved. I like the battery life, especially with the lithium rechargeable battery that is sold separately, but it has the option of adding regular disposable batteries in a pinch. The band is comfortable and adjustable. It has a red light function too so that I can keep my night vision. Easy way to control the light functions with just one button. Light and durable. Cannot ask for more.

Great light and delivery was a snap. Thx so much!

Muy buen frotal da mucha luz y se regula perfectamente la intensidad

I was recommended this by a friend and it’s an excellent head lamp. Looking forward to using it on my next trip. I bought the outer case that doubles as a tent light too and it works really well.

La marca PETZL non sbaglia un colpo! Questa lampada è leggera e affidabilissima. L'ho presa come lampada di emergenza per casa, enormemente più comoda rispetto alle normali torce da portare in mano, ma può essere benissimo usata per escursionismo pur non essendo un modello di alta gamma.

Great price and a good brand. Came as described. Have not used yet as it was a gift. But appears okay.

Was soll man viel über eine Stirnlampe schreiben. Die Tikka ist Dauergast in meinem Wanderrucksack, da ich oft in Gegenden mit Grotten und kleineren einfach begehbaren Höhlen laufe. Die Lampe ist kompakt, hantierungsfreundlich, sitzt gut und hat auf Maximalstufe eine spektakuläre Leuchtleistung. Ich wüsste nicht was man daran noch besser machen könnte, ergo eine uneingeschränkte Empfehlung.
