Power and Versatility
This headlamp provides dependable performance and features you can count on for use in both backcountry and urban settings. Its light beam is easy to aim, and you can choose among five different lighting modes, so you get the right illumination exactly where you need it. Whether you're camping in the woods, backpacking along a trail, or working on your car in the driveway, the water resistant Tikka Plus2 is the ideal companion.Two Integrated Light Sources
The Tikka Plus2 headlamp integrates two light sources for versatility: one white, high-output LED and one red LED. The white LED delivers 50 lumens in maximum mode and projects up to 35 meters. In economic mode, it can reach a burn-time of 140 hours. In addition, the red LED provides spare lighting to preserve night vision or to become a strobe light for safety use. For emergency or locating purposes, a flashing mode has been added to enhance the security that a headlamp provides. To save you time, the Tikka Plus2 features last-mode memory, which keeps the last mode used in memory until the next use. And to maximize versatility, the Petzl lens optimizes the reach of the beam. User-Friendly, Flexible Design
Water resistant and built to last, the Tikka Plus2 is compatible with Petzl's ADAPT system (sold separately), which lets you detach the headlamp casing from the headband and attach it to a helmet, backpack, or jacket. It's also very easy to use, thanks to its easy-open battery pack, electronic push-button switch, and battery charge indicator. The Tikka Plus2 comes with three AAA alkaline batteries and is backed by a three-year warranty. About Petzl: Innovative Designs, Practical Approach
Petzl, a family company, was born out of Fernand Petzl's passion for caving. One of the leading experts of his generation, Fernand spent his life experimenting with vertical progression techniques, and he invented equipment that radically changed the status quo. The Petzl company applied these underground tools and solutions to other vertical environments: first to the mountains--rock climbing and mountaineering--and then to the professional sector, with work and rescue at-height. The Petzl company quickly became known as the foremost innovator in the vertical world and has been associated with all major underground, alpine, and Himalayan adventures since the 1970s. Today, Petzl is the leader of hands-free lighting. Petzl revolutionized the industry starting with the Zoom, and then the Tikka--the first compact light. The company moved forward to introduce the state-of-the-art e+Lite and Ultra, and it continues to work with outdoor sports enthusiasts and professionals to create innovative, practical, high-quality lighting and climbing products.

 Insufficient Battery Life July 20, 2010
John Kuczmarski (Calabasas, CA)
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
For headlamps, Petlz is the best. By far. I had a 3-led petzl headlamp for NINE NINE (yes, 9!) years. It worked flawlessly with outrageous batterylife. The only reason why I had to get a new one was the casing had been held together with duct tape (very reasonable wear-and-tear) and was hassle changing batteries with duct-taped case.
This specific product, however, (a huge change instead of 2-4 LEDs it's one lamp) just sucked. Battery-life abysmal. The pull-down "wide-narrow" filter was useless (made no difference, especially with a dim, depleted battery light). Overall this headlamp had everything I didn't need (flashing craziness) and nothing I needed: good long-battery life.
I'll only use petzl headlamps (they still are the best despite this defunct product) but i'll be gettign an LED version as that seems to have better battery life.
 Best headlamp I've ever had July 8, 2010
Inspector
I rarely recommend outright buying a product, but for this one I do. This is by far the best headlamp I've ever had -- and trust me...I've had many. I was previously using a typical four-bulb LED light made by mountain hardware, but it needed four batteries, it was heavy, and not very bright. This headlamp, rated to 50 lumens full strenght, has never let me down. Most recently, I took this miniature sun all throughout the Pacific Northwest through snow, rain, and over rocks without a problem. Don't be fooled, though. This headlamp can do a lot more than just illuminate a camp ground. I has a very useful half-strength feature, so you don't blind your friends, and most useful for me a red light. I use this red light in the hour to two hours before I go to bed and any time after sunset. The advantage of the red light is that it is low in intensity, and thus will not blind you when you get up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom or say when you are star gazing. The red light is especially useful at night and in the evening because it will help you fall asleep faster than the average white light. In brief, the red light will not stimulate the pineal gland as white light will (white light will inhibit melatonin -- the drug that initiates sleep in the body).
Bottom line: I use this headlamp for absolutely everything, and I would buy it again and recommend it to a friend in a heartbeat. Absolutely worth the price as well.
The best June 24, 2010
Kyle Chu (EWA BEACH, HI, US)
This product works wonderful. Strong headlamp. I have been using it daily for the last month. Never failed yet and the battery is still good.
Bought them all; like this one the best. May 24, 2010

I read the reviews in Backpacker magazine and bought 2 of each of the top 3. This one came in third but I like it better than the others. It is really well made. I know its hard to quantify but nothing feels loose. . . The others feel cheaper. The button seems easy to turn on but hard to turn on by accident. The Black Diamond light is the brightest but it is awkwardly shaped and this one adjusts better and stays in place. All in all if you want a bright light you can depend on. This is it. I also read a review that mentioned something about the light coming through the case. I would tell the person to return it. It might be defective since I haven't noticed this at all. Oh and who wouldn't want a whistle on the headband. Its not the greatest whistle but it would beat the heck out of shouting.
 great item - for the price May 17, 2010
A. Rodriguez (Florida, USA)
