Petzl TIKKINA Headlamp - Compact, Easy-to-Use 300 Lumen Headlamp, Designed for Hiking, Climbing, Running, and Camping - Blue

Product Information

With Petzl 50:50 brightness-to-burn-time ratio, it will retain 50% of its original brightness halfway through its burn time Differences in brightness, lighting modes and power source are three of the biggest differentiators in headlamps and do the most to determine how well a lamp will work for your needs. Brightness

Hybrid concept design is compatible with either the Core rechargeable battery (not included) or 3 AAA batteries without an adapter Studies show that manufacturer claims on Max Lumens, Beam Distance, and Battery Time are inflated compared to traditional ANSI standards. Our listed specs are those of the manufacturer, which are typically accurate for the first 2-10 minutes of the headlamp’s use with a full charge. While this is unfortunate, it is currently industry standard, which means most headlamps suffer from these inflated specs and wash across the board. Gear Review of the Petzl Tikkina Origins: Easing You InThe following headlamps didn’t make our final list, but they’ve still got a lot of good things going for them. You never know, one of these headlamps might be perfect for you: Today's Tikkina is an impressively capable headlamp— one that we consider it a great choice for general use — that will meet or exceed most people's needs. Single, wide-beam pattern allows you to comfortably see your immediate surroundings; 3 brightness levels for adjustable lighting

These lamps don’t have any of the fancy features or the more expensive lamps like the Reactik or Actik series, but if you just want a decent headlamp and don’t want to pay a fortune, these are your next best friend! Low: Also called ‘proximity mode.’ Conserves battery power and produces a wider beam of softer, dimmer light usually directed downwards to see nearby objects. Great for cooking in camp, setting up tents, familiar night hikes, etc.PROS: Comes with multiple mounts: headlamp, hanging lantern, handlebars, magnet, long burn time, easy to use

The white beam of the Petzl Tikkina appears brighter than 150 lumens, and definitely seems like a flood plus a spot light, despite what the box says. It was bright enough for daily tasks, night walks, and a completely dark trail. Battery Life Most of my time with the Petzl Tikkina headlamp was spent hiking through the winding streets and dirt paths of my Ventura County suburban kingdom. The Petzl Tikkina was not my only companion; I had Keoki with me, a furry golden retriever. This is one spirited animal — you could wake him up at 3:30 in the morning, suggest a round of fetch, and he’d beat you out the door.
