Petzl Tikkina Headlamp - 2 LED

Great little headlamp. It isn't the best for distance lighting, but it is perfect for hiking or reading. Battery life is great.

Used for mining prospection actiitities

We have been back to buy more of these. Originally purchased for camping they are in heavy rotation all over. The kids hunt for bugs in the garden at night, read books under the covers. My husband uses them to light up dark corners on home improvement projects. Easy to use, durable, bright.

Fine for digging around the tent and missing that darn root everyone's tripping over, but certainly not for hiking in low light conditions. It's only got two LEDs, it's not a spotlight, and has only two settings: On and off. The switch would be nearly impossible to affect with gloves on. It's black. I don't get that at all about ANY headlamp - why make something you need to see better in the dark difficult to find in the dark? I digress. I've dropped it a couple of times and the battery compartment pops open too easily, and the lens popped out once. Why make the lens removable? Lightweight? Not. I actually started off giving this headlamp 3 stars, but after I got into the review, I thought it deserved a demotion. In the final analysis, if you need a hands-free light in the car, for the house, or something to get around the campsite with, this is fine, I guess. But if you're looking for a headlamp for caving or night hiking, keep shopping.

Super ligthweight, bright and came with the 3 AAA needed batteries. Ready to go right out of the packaging. Always a plus
