Offering even more versatility than the Tikka 2 head lamp model, the Petzl Tikka Plus 2 has been completely reengineered for this season. Built with 1 high output white LED and 1 red LED, the Tikka Plus 2 switches between maximum, economic, and flashing modes with just the click of a simple electronic push-button switch.

Pocket Sized Partner

Rating:*****

I got my Tikka Plus 2 right before I went to Chile for a ski trip, and it kicked major butt in a variety of situations. When the power went out in the village of Farellones, I had it in my pocket and lit up the bar we were in; amazing power for such a small, light package.

I especially like the red LED. It was really nice to use while camping in a small shelter with my ski partner as it didn't blind my friend when he was still awake, and it didn't keep him awake when he was trying to sleep. I also used the red LED in some low light situations such when we started hiking at 345am under a half moon, but the moonlight wasn't quite enough to show the way. Using my red LED gave the ground ahead of me enough definition to safely travel without decreasing my night vision (like a white light does), which let me still enjoy the benefits and beauty of the moonlight.

Battery life has been really impressive so far, too. Stays bright through the long life of the batteries rather than peetering out like some headlamps do.

Tikka

Rating:*****
Great product, super light and batteries last nearly forever. Better construction and design than the original Tikka. Great for reading in the tent and camp use. Not quite bright enough for dedicated night hiking but it will work for that when needed.

I would highly reccomend this head-lamp

Rating:*****
I bought this head-lamp for car camping but ended up using it for so much more. Its great for walking the dogs in the early morning walk. Packaged really nice as well, I like how it comes with the batteries.

Great headlamp. I had the tikka but wanted something brighter with a longer max distance. The red light function is a great improvement as well.

Great headlamp. Great improvements over previous versions. Really bright, light weight and good looking (as much as a headlamp can be good looking).
