Product Description
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.

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 What's in the Box

 Very weak light for such a high price... July 28, 2010
Danny N (LA,CA USA)
I received this light one day and the next day it was gone. Why? Because its really an expensive and weak light for your money.I felt cheated since I got a cheap 20 dollar headlamp(~50 lumens) at a local mega store and it outshined this overpriced piece of junk. The light appeared a blueish tint, and very weak, it was hard to make out anything past 50 ft even on the max setting. so 35 lumens for 43 bucks...yea outrageously overpriced. I dont see how this can maintain a 4 1/2 stars
After i returned this i found another headlamp for about 20 dollars more than the petzl and it made a WORLD OF DIFFERENCE!!. My friend had lent me his headlamp which he uses for fishing and it is extraordinarily bright. So i looked for his headlamp on the net and stumbled upon the fenix hp10(225 lumens!). Lets just say, on the 2nd brightness(out of 4 illumination modes)setting of the hp10, it outshined the petzl which was set on the max setting! The search was over for a decent headlamp, go for this one, u wont regret it!

I ordered two of the headlamps,one works fine, the other would not stay closed. I finally figured out that the battery was not seating correctly and kept the cover from closing shut.Sent it back, not interested in trying it again.
 There are better options for your money. July 25, 2010

I recently purchased both this headlamp, and a similar model from Energizer, (Energizer 6 LED Headlight) and my experiences have been quite different with each. This is my first Amazon review, so bear with me:
First, the price. The Petzl 4-LED headlamp is $30 plus, whereas the Energizer 6-LED is approximately $20. More light for less cash. Score one for Energizer.
Secondly, the construction. The plastic housing used on the Petzl model seems far less rugged than the Energizer. In further comparison, the elastic headband just seems cheaply produced. Then there's the battery compartment. It's a bit awkward, and took me a few minutes to get the housing to close again properly. The lamp itself does have a smaller body than its cousin, but not by much.
Finally, the functionality. The Petzl model's swivel is notched and gives four angles of possible illumination. The Energizer model's swivel is smooth, and gives what I'd approximate to be 120 degrees of light. The Petzl might give 40 degrees. The red filter is just a cheap flap of red translucent plastic. Really not much to say about that.
The reason I give this product three stars is because it does what it's supposed to do. It'll give you a decent hands-free lighting option wether you're in the woods or trying to fix your car on the side of the road. I'm not affiliated with Energizer, but as the title says, there are better options for your money.

The Headlamp shipped promptly and functioned properly right out of the packaging. The red flip cover is sturdy and works well. The sequence to get the varied levels of brightness are easy to manage and effective. It throws a wide enough beam to allow you to easily see what you are doing while being contained enough to be great light. Overall a great product and well worth the money.
