The Petzl TacTikka Plus is a tactical version of the popular Tikka Plus Headlamp. It has all of the great features including 4 LEDs instead of 3, a push on/off button instead of a slider switch, a tiltable housing, and 3 brightness settings with strobe function. These features have been combined with a red lens that easily flips down over the LED's for night vision. It is also water-resistant for all-weather use. The 150-hour burn time and durability of the LED makes the TacTikka Plus reliable. It doesn't throw out huge candlepower (33ft or 10m), making it ideal for activities requiring close-up lighting like trail hiking, setting up camp, and reading. The TacTikka Plus runs on 3 AAA batteries (included), and at 2.5 ounces, weighs next to nothing in your pack.
Product Features
powerful LED’s, reliable so far (1 month) i got it very soaking wet in the tropical rains and all of the electronics still work fine. the red flip filter is wonderful because i also like walking without a light, so this way i can keep my night vision and walk barefoot, unlighted on mother earth. let the path of heart guide the way! peaceful vibrations.
This is the second one of these I’ve purchased and it is awesome. The battery last for a reasonable amount of time, and it’s obvious when it’s fading, so there’s no suprise black-out. The beam is huge and really bright on the highest setting. This is also nice to be able to wear backwards on my head road biking with the flashing setting going. This is such a good headlamp that we use this in place of flashlights camping and around the house. I would recommend this headlamp to anyone!
The light is very bright. There are three brightness levels and a flashing mode. The ability to aim the light is convenient. The unit is so light weight that I do not notice it on my head. The band is adjustable for head size too.
The red filter is an added bonus too. On the lowest light setting I can read books without disturbing my spouse in bed. I agree with other reviewers that it the tab to turn the filter on its hinge is small and makes it difficult to use quickly. It is still easy to use though and not a issue in my mind.
I am looking forward to using the light on projects around the house. No more struggling with tools and flashlights in my hands or trying to add a electrical circuit in the dark. Yes!
I like to walk at night, and I have to with my dogs, and I wanted to have free hands. After some research on Amazon, I bought this headlamp. It is really super because it has 3 brightness choices and a blinking light AND it has a red filter, that I often use. The red filter flips down over the LEDs; I prefer the red filtered light because it’s just that much darker. I imagine, that if I were to get injured in the woods at night, I could use the red blinking light, and maybe someone might find me … hopefully I’ll never need to find out. Anyway, I have used it every night for several months, I have accidentally bumped it and even dropped it a couple times and it’s still working wonderfully. I bought one for my mom recently and she likes it too. My mom had gotten me a cheap one and there is a tremendous difference; don’t bother with the cheap ones.
I purchased this headlight to use for snowshoeing and cross-country skiing at night. It has not disappointed me. The illumination both side to side and ahead of me works well. I am able to be confident on the darkest nights.
