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.

Gotta have the red filter July 23, 2008
Terrific product for reading, camping - and particularly with the red filter for night fishing. Good Battery life and high level illumination.
 PRETZEL July 14, 2008
works fine (bright), but looks weak. battery locker doesn't locks properly. Opens easy by itself, when you trying to turn off/on the light.
a bit expensive for such a weak quality.
Used for Ranger school July 2, 2008

The headlamps sold at some of the PX's require you to push the button 4 times to get to the red light used mostly in ranger school. The Petzl Tactikka allows one push to get to red mode. It is light weight, durable, bright and stays in place.
Great for power outage June 23, 2008
I purchased this specifically for power outages. It works great and leaves my hands free from holding a flash light or lantern. I can even read with it. I have also used it for working in spaces with little light. I highly recommend this product.
A quality mid-range headlamp June 3, 2008
I bought this for camping, and it has performed very well. The light is nice and bright, battery life is exceptional, and it is very comfortable on my head. At 2.75 ounces, it is very light and hard to notice it's even there. At first I was taking this and a regular flashlight with me, until I realized that this headlamp is all I really need. The actual lamp can tilt up or down about 40 degrees, and locks into place when you tilt it. It has three different modes, although I only ever used the brightest setting. The red lens cover minimizes the brightness of the light, and is useful if you're a burglar or if you need to turn on a light in your tent while your partner is sleeping. Although it's not bright enough with this cover to see more than about 2 feet in front of you.
My only complaint with this lamp is that it's not as bright as I would like. It has a brightness range of 14 lux at the low setting, to 64 at the high. 64 is fairly bright and will provide a beam distance of 32 meters. However, Petzl's next higher model is the Petzl Tikka XP Headlamp, Red #E86PR, which has a range of 20-77, and above that, which I ended up getting, is the Petzl MYO XP 3-Watt LED Headlamp #E83-P, which is 5 times brighter at a range of 72-324 (but three times heavier). Ultimately, it depends on what you need the light for. For general camping this should do just fine, and I would recommend a headlamp over a traditional flashlight in almost every application. It is incredibly useful for doing work on my house in my crawlspace. Specs are below:
