This thing gets bright, very bright when needed. I had to learn how to use it effectively to appreciate it more. My application is attic crawling and repair work. I use it in the middle setting and will last longer than I can under a roof. I only use the brightest setting when I need to look at something more than 6 feet. It is small, weights next to nothing, and you can forget it’s there sometimes. The proprietary batt is actually a plus, I charge it next to my cell as a habit. When in tight spaces it is supreme, like a reliable partner. I’m not a user of night vision but I’ll test it on a fishing trip.

I was skeptical. One person said it’s built in a way that the battery is visible so there is no way it could be water resistant or hold up long term: they must have received a defective unit. You can’t see the batter terminal at all when it is closed.Another reviewer said the button was awful and had a soft/squishiness to it with no clear/firm “button” feel to it. Again, I think this could be a defective unit, because I know the frustrating sensation this reviewer is referring to. It’s definitely rubber/soft cover, but the centered button is very clearly defined, easy to push and have the unit register the push, and firm/responsive…Another user said the settings were complicated. This person may just be thick, or it could be another defective unit. You press the button for 3 different brightness levels, or hold it down for red mode. Pretty straight-forward, 10 second learning curve.This headlamp is lightweight, feels secure and relatively comfortable, and I love that it is both rechargeable AND you can use regular AAAs in a pinch. The brightest setting is more than most hikers/campers will need for most uses, and the second brightest is plenty to see the immediate area around you for longer battery life. The lowest setting is good for preserving the most battery life and doing things like going to the bathroom, reading, fixing/rigging something, or other activities that are closer to your eyes and less demanding on light.My only gripe with this headlamp is that there is no charge port accessible from the unit–you have to remove the batteries to charge them. It would have been nice to be able to run a USB cable to a battery pack when using this as a lantern in a tent, or in a pinch while hiking/at camp… instead of having to use separate AAAs. That could make it less water resistant, but smartphone companies have figured out how to provide both so this should be able to as well. I’d pay more money for that feature.Petzl is an extremely established company, so that gives me comfort knowing I can reach out to them for support in the future. In theory, they would be helpful, but I haven’t had experience with that yet.—I also wish products like this had a more “modern” aesthetic, by which I really mean “vintage/classic.” The plastic feels…plastic, the “TACTIKKA CORE” text is boring and ugly, the branding is in your face, etc. The black color is very…”tactical / tech” and boring. I’m a sucker for the hipster aesthetic with classic materials like leathers, metals, or higher quality matte plastics, and more earthy colors. I think most hikers are… I don’t know why the industry has leaned into the tech aesthetic for so long. If a headlamp company filled that niche, I’d buy right away if it was as simple, comfortable, and high-quality as this Petzl. Until then, this will do.

I don’t see any difference between the TACTIKKA and the ACTIKA but the reflectivity of the headband on the ACTIKA. Good headlamp, same as it has been for many years. I think the price is too high for what you get.

This is a pretty nice headlamp, with white and red light settings as well as flashing settings for both colors. Nothing too fancy but the battery is rechargable which I thought was pretty cool since I won’t have to buy triple a batteries as much. My only issue with it was the price. I don’t think it should be as much as it is but I did pay for it. I think there are probably better options for half the price but overall it’s a great little light that will last along time with the proper care and for my uses (mechanic work, home diy, etc), this is all I need. Highly recommended

Works for what I need, battery is decent, takes a bit to charge but lasts longer than aaa batteries. Product is made in France which is a nice alternative

Light is bright, and has a red light. Strap fits well and doesn’t bounce much. Works well for everyday use and tactical work. I would recommend this light for soldiers and construction workers.

I’ve had Petzl lights for the last 20 years and I’ve always found them to be amongst the best designed / manufactured products. My last two Zipka’s have broken due to being dropped, which I feel is an every day occurrence for something that’s designed for the rough and toughness of the outdoors. You’re rarely using a headlight sitting in your armchair at home, so they should be designed with that in mind. I decided to move away from the convenience of the Zipka and get a TacTikka. I also find that for a weekends camping it’s better to have something re-chargeable, so the TacTikka fits the bill. But at nearly $70, it’s far from inexpensive. And I have to say it seems INCREDIBLY flimsy. I have cheap amazon lights that cost $5 that feel similar. I worry if this hit the deck it would explode into a million pieces, yet it’s not a throw away price. Such a pity that manufacturers go for the cheapest manufacturing possible. The plastic is practically paper thin, so ridic

Good bang for the buck. Like that it has a rechargeable battery pack or can use AAA batteries also.

I charged the headlamp before I left to go running. I ran for just over 2 hours then my light completely died out on me.Not worth the money!Brightness quickly dims then soon enough batteries are dead.It’s impossible for any runner like I, to use this during their long runs.. I want my money back
