Inspired by a fellow visually-impaired photographer on Flickr ([...]), I went to my local outdoors store and bought this LED headlamp, the Tikka Plus, from Petzl. The headlamp is great for reading! I have been using booklights to supplement ambient room lighting for a while now, but have never been satisfied. My eyesight forces me to hold the book quite close, so these booklights are often obstructed by my own forehead. While the headlamp is not perfect, it is a significant advance in convenience and quality.
Personally, I would prefer a more diffuse light and one with more low intensity options. The light is designed to throw a wide beam outdoors or in caves, so the light hitting a page a few inches a way works more like a spotlight. ... Read More:
While this is a fine product, excellent military use in field conditions, it cannot be shipped to an APO in Afghanistan. I'm not quite sure about the logic in not being able to ship to an APO for a serviceman or someone else serving in a warzone. It's a United States zip code, the military will deliver it from there. It's not a sensitive item in any way shape or form and it's a sure bet that those receiving it will not be putting it into the hands of those seeking to do harm with it.
Jeez amazon, get a grip and do a reality check here.
You usually get what you pay for. This case is no exception. I LOVE this headlamp. It's easy to turn off/on when it's on your head. The tilt adjustment stays where you set it. Very easy to readjust the tilt while it's on your head. Bright enough for having to get around in the dark.
This is perfect and better than expected for my Tactikka Plus.
Material is fairly firm and protective. Though I wouldn't say it's flat out "hard," I think what there is is actually better if it's dropped, and I'm not worried about packing or storing with this. Reminds me of kevlar.
Space is just right for my Tactikka Plus with its strap, and I can get a spare set of AAA's in the little pocket inside as well if there's need.
There's a smaller Petzl out there for the Zipka units -- the E44990. This is the larger E43990 for the others (Tikka, Tactikka, etc.), and is exactly what I needed.
I use this headlamp primarily for backup purposes. I travel with one, and I also stick one in the car for emergencies. The lithium coin-type batteries are easy to obtain/replace, and the fact that they are lithium means they have a long shelf-life -- perfect for backup.
I've given out a bunch of these as gifts and the recipients seemed to use the light as a primary headlamp; they were very satisfied with its performance. I think there are better headlamps for off-trail use but in a pinch or as a backup this one can't be beat. I do feel that it is a bit pricey, however.
was looking for a basic headlamp for my seven year old for a camping trip, and this seemed to be just the thing. has good range. he hds a little trouble finding the sliding on/off switch - a button might be easier - but for this price i was very happy with this purchase.
The Petzl Tikka Plus works fine and is the second Petzl headlamp I've owned. Very bright and easy to use. My only concern is the housing, which is made of relatively cheap plastic. It might not stand up to heavy use.
This little thing is really brite! It will replace my flashlight which will now be my back-up. It has three brightness settings and a super long throwing boost setting for 20 seconds and the run time on each setting is great. It has a diffuser lens for close work at nite and spreads out into a wide angle. Its well made and will serve my hunting needs well. I highly recommend it!
Not much to it. The Tikka headlamp allows for easy swap of lenses. It is an inexpensive, yet effective solution to those that need to alternate between white and a colored light.
