The Petzl Tikka is easy to use with a single button and is also compact enough to slide into your jacket pocket or backpack. Its phosphorescent reflector makes it easy to find in the dark and red lighting keeps you from blinding those around you.
The beam strength of the Petzl Tikka is stronger than that of the Tikkina. It also has the additional glow-in-the-dark highlights making it easy to find in the dark.
Our verdict:
Ideal as a general purpose family torch - it can be used by children as it is very simple to use with only 2 beam options. Suited to camping trips, DIY and repair projects around the house. This torch has an excellent burn time but does not have the beam strength required for more intensive use in the dark (e.g. hiking, trail running).
Standard Lighting Technology:
The headlamp supplies energy directly to the light source. Great compromise between power and burn time.
The headlamp has a very long burn time.
The headlamp lights very intensely for the first minutes, and then decreases gradually over time.
The rated brightness is the maximum light output, measured when the lamp is first turned on.
Features:
Compact and lightweight: only 94 g
Homogeneous and comfortable proximity lighting:
Wide, uniform beam so you can comfortably see up-close or at your feet
Three white lighting levels: MAX BURN TIME, STANDARD (better power/burn time balance) and MAX POWER
Continuous red lighting to preserve night vision without blinding those around you, and strobe to signal your location, especially in emergency situations
Easy to use:
Single button for quick and easy selection of brightness or light color
Plate allows you to easily orient the lamp in desired direction
Battery charge indicator shows the battery level each time lamp is turned on or off
Useful phosphorescent reflector for locating the lamp in the dark
LOCK function prevents the lamp from turning on during transit or storage
Detachable, washable headband that is symmetrical for easy adjustment
Storage pouch allows it to be transformed into a lantern
