The Petzl Tikka Core is a compact and lightweight 450-lumen rechargeable headlamp designed for low-light outdoor adventures, whether you're hiking, camping, or navigating through the dark. This iconic Petzl headlamp now comes with the Core rechargeable battery and also supports 3 AAA batteries thanks to its Hybrid Concept design. Weighing just 84g, the Tikka Core offers a wide, uniform beam for comfortable proximity lighting. It features three white light settings, continuous red lighting for preserving night vision, and a red strobe mode for emergency visibility. Its phosphorescent reflector makes it easy to locate in the dark, while the reflective, recycled headband enhances nighttime visibility. Built for convenience, it includes an intuitive single-button interface, USB-C charging, a lock function, and battery level indicator. It even comes with a storage pouch that converts into a lantern for ambient lighting.
