Just got this and man does it light up the dark. I've heard some criticism about head lamps not really putting out enough light to be of any use in extreme darkness, but I can assure you this is not one of them. On the low setting it gives you enough light to see about a five to ten foot radius very well. I like the strobe setting too. Will come in mighty useful off the trail for running at dusk after work or walking the pooch! Won't have to worry about cars not seeing us anymore.

Just bought mine and really like it. Light and adjustable, and will probably make a good emergency light when night riding. Brighter than the Tikka 2 Plus.

An absolutely bomber headlamp, I'm on my third, and the only trouble I've had is the difficult closure of the battery compartment. It's one of those pieces of gear that I never want to be without

This is a great little lamp. I've had mine for about 5 years and it is still going strong! Sure there are lighter or brighter lamps out there, but I find the Tikka's balance of brightness and battery life to be the perfect combination. My only complaints were that my old one did not have a dimmer switch or a tilt-able housing, which have been fixed with newer versions. So I'm going to have to say it's perfect.

Well built, simple, reliable and lightweight. I have one of these in the glove box of both cars, in my backpack, in the house, and a few others. Love 'em. They also make a great back-up light when cycling if the main goes belly up or falls off a cliff. Great gifts for any occasion as well.
