Product Description

Amazon.com Product Review
While this headlamp is designed specifically for night fishing, it could just as easily be used for other purposes, such as night hiking, camping, climbing, or even hunting.

The TacTikka Plus is lightweight (78 g with batteries) and comfortable to wear, which is a good thing, since you're likely to be using it over longer stretches of time. Another great feature of the LED bulbs is that they are much more impact-resistant than incandescents: you're really going to have to smack it hard against something before you lose your illumination. Plus, LEDs are extremely energy-efficient. According to the manufacturer, you'll get functional illumination up to 150 hours on the included batteries, depending on which light levels you operate at.

The TacTikka Plus has three intensity settings, allowing you to customize your lighting to match your needs. The optimum setting illuminates to 23 meters (note that the range will decline slightly over time as you run your batteries down). If you need more vision, you can switch to the maximum setting; if you need to look at a map, use the economic setting. Hunters and fishing enthusiasts will appreciate the pull-down red filter, which renders the light invisible to most game. It even has an emergency strobe if things get ugly.

Overall a handy, well-designed product.--Josh Dettweiler

Amazing light, July 10, 2009

By	Westridge "ljg" (Nassau, Bahamas)

I bought this light about 4 months ago because I had some work to do in my ceiling. I must say it has outperformed my expectations, it is very sturdy, the strap is comfortable, it is light (weight) and the lights are super bright. It gives me more than enough light to do what I have to do in the ceiling, even when the light setting is the lowest, but when I amp up I can see clearly far in the distance. When I bought it I also had fishing in mind, but unfortunately I have not gotten out to fish since I've had it. I cannot comment on whether the red flap helps etc. with the fish. But overall I'd say I am very pleased with my purchase an I would recommend this product highly.
