    • Single high-output LED provides even, white lighting throughout your field of vision with no blank spots in the beam; special lens optimizes the reach of the beam to 40m
    • Red LED positioned to the side of the white LED helps preserve your night vision; use the headlamp as a blinking light to increase your visibility in urban environments

    • White LED delivers 70 lumens on high
    • Also change between 2 red lighting modes (continuous and blinking)
    • White light on low level provides up to 185 hrs. of use and on high up to 58 hrs.; red continuous provides up to 100 hrs.
    • Hold down the on/off switch to change between red and white lighting modes
    • Battery charge indicator light comes on when the beam distance diminishes to 5m and when there is only 50% battery life remaining for proximity lighting
    • Provides IPX4 water resistance for reliability in inclement weather
    • Headlamp tilts to point light where you need it
    • Adjustable elastic headband holds the light securely in place; colorful headband and plastic casing add a little style

              Comments about Petzl Tikka Plus 2 Headlamp:

              I bought this for a spelunking/backpacking trip. Before purchasing this headlamp I did a lot of research, just like you probably are. It is a great balance of weight, cost, lumens, battery life, and durability. I bought it for the spelunking trip, but I have been using it on a daily basis. It's perfect for caving, backpacking, camping, running, and general night use. I recently did a brake job on the Jeep. Having a headlamp on was handy in the wheel well.

                Comments about Petzl Tikka Plus 2 Headlamp:

                This headlamp is great for any time you might be out a little later than planned. I mainly use this for working in dark areas around the house, and for night time activities where a light is needed but a flashlight won't cut it. I like that you can pivot the lamp for aim adjustment. I also purchased the pouch, for protection and extra battery storage. Plus being able to just toss the case into anything to carry makes it a compact and lightweight package.

                  My neighborhood has no streetlights, so I find myself using this light many times a week, for after work runs, and taking the dog out for a few miles when he doesn't get to the beach during the day. It's light enough to not bounce when running and the low-light mode is bright enough for me use 90% of the time on the street, though I can see the advantages of the high output while on the trail.

                    Great lamp, adjustable beam, red mode is a nice addition for the price, good battery life. My one complaint is what seems to be a oversight during R&D and that is that there appears to be a decent amount of light leakage. As said in previous reviews it leaks at the bottom, shining light onto your face, but it also leaks on the sides. I colored in the clear plastic on the bottom with a sharpie and viola, no more light leakage. Overall a great lamp for the price.

                    Comments about Petzl Tikka Plus 2 Headlamp:

                    I needed to upgrade my younger son's head lamp. His previous one was bought at the camping section of a large retail store. His first light did the trick, but it quickly fell apart.

                    I decided to look for something in the $30 range. The Petzl Tikka worked well. The light was bright (45 lumens) and the multiple settings worked well. My son loved the cool looking designer head band too that came with it.

                    Great light!

                          I've owned several Petzl headlamps starting all the way back when the lamp was huge and had a battery pack at the back end of the strap. They never disappoint, and my last one really took a beating. Camping with a bunch of friends, one thing led to another and my friend was taking the solid Gerber axe to my spare petzl, which was this item. Next morning my friend pieced together the headlamp, and it worked just fine. True story. The only dislike I have is the clear casing which diffuses light into my eyes in the dark. Just means that I wear the headlamp a little higher than normal. I love the red night vision option, which is very handy in the woods. I bought a blackdiamond headlamp and it is not reliable and is prone to shutting off at critical moments. Lesson learned. Stick with Petzl.
