Product Description

From the Manufacturer
With its four LED bulbs and three lighting levels, the Petzl Tikka Plus is a multi-dimensional headlamp, suitable for hiking, climbing, caving, sailing or any number of activities that demand the need for additional lighting. In addition to being feature-laden, the Tikka Plus is lightweight, compact and easy to use. A large toggle switch makes the Tikka Plus ultra-easy to operate. The four LED bulbs produce a maximum brightness of 35 Lumens, sufficient to cast light up to 105 feet. Two additional settings allow you to regulate the length of the beam, increasing efficiency and burn time in the process. The lowest, most economical setting on the Tikka Plus throws a beam of 49.2 feet and increases burn time to 150 hours. A fourth setting produces a strobe light for emergency signaling. A hinge on the housing of the lamp enables you to aim the beam where you need it most. The Tikka Plus is powered by three Alkaline AAA batteries (included). With batteries, the Tikka Plus weighs a mere 2.75 ounces. A comfortable, elastic headband allows the Tikka Plus to adjust to fit varied head sizes. The Petzl Tikka Plus is water-resistant and suitable for all-weather use.

Small and lightweight with bright light,
June 19, 2009
By Me Ted (USA) -
I ordered this headlamp to use for work where I have to run security wires in attics,basements and crawl spaces that usually have little to no lights. Whats great about this product is that its small and lightweight so I can keep it in the side pocket of my cargo pants at all times while Im working so whenever I need it I can pull it out of my pocket and put it back when Im done. I have other headlamps that are big and bulky and have large battery packs that sit on the back of your head that just arent as convienient. There are a few different levels of brightness that you can choose which will also reflect on your battery life. If I lost or broke this one I would pick up another to replace it.

Just what I needed!,

I was looking for a replacement for an old led petzel I had lost. This is my third pezel in 16 years and they have only gotten replaced because I left them sitting on a rock somewhere! This one is greatly improved from my previous model (sorry I don't remember the name - but it was one of the first LED models) First, it is much, much easier to access the battery compartment. Second, the previous model did not tilt, so that is nice when you are using it to work under the sink or just talking to someone. Third, this one has 3 lighting modes to save battery life plus an emergency blinker. Additionally, the rubber seal in this one looks a little more durable although I did not have a problem with the previous seal. I also bought the case which is compact and much better than the mesh bag I used in the past. You could fit(tightly) spare batteries in it if you desired. I am very satisfied with this one, and I bought the bright yellow to help me keep track of it in low light conditions!! I am looking forward to the fall when I will use it more in the woods, but overall as usual, I am very happy with the product.

Field tested in the mighty Grand Canyon!,
May 19, 2009
Okay, I mostly used this to stumble back to my tent "after hours" but, boy was I always glad to have it. I've done a number of trips in the Grand Canyon over the years and bought, lost and burned through countless flashlights, lanterns and other light-producing gizmos. I like my Tikka the best. Small, lightweight (I can stuff it in my pocket for later use), bright, and seems to run forever. It even fits my big head. Plenty of light to read by--in fact, my only wish is that it had one more, lower light setting. But that's a nit pick. They should give you one of these--and a Leatherman--when you graduate from high school or college. More useful than a degree in English Lit and lasts longer than a commencement address.

A mighty little light!, February 8, 2008

By PurpleKat (Davis, CA United States) -
This is a great little headlamp, very useful, and very bright. I mostly use mine while I'm knitting, to cast a bright light on my work. Before I got it, no matter how many lamps I positioned around me, there was always some little spot in shadow. Now, I can see what I'm doing clearly, even with very dark yarn.

The thick strap on the light keeps it from slipping, even on my silky, slick hair, and the light itself is adjustable, so that I can point it at whatever angle I need.

And when I want to read in bed late at night while my fiance sleeps, I can dim the light with a few clicks, and it lights up my book perfectly, without the added hassle of dealing with something clipped to the top that has to be shifted around as I change positions or turn the pages.

My only complaint is the battery life. I'll admit that I have the light turned on a lot, and for long periods at a stretch, but I've only had it for a little over a month, and I've already had to replace the three AAA batteries. I'd recommend if you plan to use it a lot, you buy some rechargeable batteries to cut down on the cost.
