Petzl E47 PBY Tikka Plus 4-LED Headlamp, Black and Yellow

Product Description

The Petzl Tikka Plus Headlamp combines the lightweight and long-lasting power of the original Tikka with four LED bulbs and a dimming switch to give you more light or longer battery life. The Tikka Plus Headlamp weighs only 2.75 ounces, and provides plenty of light for traveling through the backcountry at night. Petzl added a push-button switch with three brightness settings and a strobe mode for signaling. Thanks to its tiny size, the Tikka Plus Headlamp easily fits in your jacket pocket so it will always be ready if you get caught in the dark.

5.0 out of 5 stars Useful when you need hands-free light., September 18, 2004

I'm not much of a camper, but I know that a good hands-free light source is important when doing the outdoor thing. So when I was planning that aspect of my '04 Sturgis motorcycle trip, I did some research along those lines. I read a number of positive reviews for the Petzls on Amazon.com, and decided that one of those would do. However, I wanted to make sure by doing some hands-on research, so I went off to my local outdoors shop for that purpose.

I was going to buy the Petzl with the retractable string headband, since it was the most compact. But after trying it on, I was afraid the thin string would break at the worst possible moment, and I'd be sucking wind. I looked at other Petzls, and finally settled on the Tikka Plus. I liked that the lamp had adjustable pointing positions, and it seemed bright even in a well-lit store. Plus the sturdy headband fit well; it didn't feel like it would fly off if I sneezed too hard, or break under heavy use. Also, the Tikka... Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars A mighty little light!, February 8, 2008

This is a great little headlamp, very useful, and very bright. I mostly use mine while I'm knitting, to cast a bright light on my work. Before I got it, no matter how many lamps I positioned around me, there was always some little spot in shadow. Now, I can see what I'm doing clearly, even with very dark yarn.

The thick strap on the light keeps it from slipping, even on my silky, slick hair, and the light itself is adjustable, so that I can point it at whatever angle I need.

And when I want to read in bed late at night while my fiance sleeps, I can dim the light with a few clicks, and it lights up my book perfectly, without the added hassle of dealing with something clipped to the top that has to be shifted around as I change positions or turn the pages.

My only complaint is the battery life. I'll admit that I have the light turned on a lot, and for long periods at a stretch, but I've only had it for a little over a month, and I've already had to... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect Light for Home & Travel, June 5, 2007

This is an excellent product - I always bring it with me in my backpack.

I'm writing another review because my wife likes these so much she wants one with a soft headband now. I still the think the clever design of the headband (the older Zipkas) and how it retracts into the back of the light for storage, is genius. But to each their own. Either way, very well done!

We lose power constantly in NH and I've used one of the Zipka headlamps for about 5-6 years. You can't beat these Petzl lights - 150 hours before you have to replace the batteries?? That's tough to beat. Also, these things weigh about 65-90 grams. That's right. You can't even tell you're wearing them. My wife finds the pressure on the forehead a little annoying so she wears hers on top of a baseball cap.

- great for walking around inside or outside - throws off plenty of light

- keeps your hands free

- white light makes it much easier to perform tasks like reading... Read more
