This headlamp is lightweight and dependable. The light does flicker slightly, but it is definitely the best bang for the buck.

We now have two of the headlamps, and we noticed that after having them for only a short time, the light begins to flicker. I use mine for reading in bed, so it is annoying.

I love the headlamp. I use it to read at night when my husband goes to sleep. It's nice because I don't have to hold anything in/on the book I'm reading. He gets a kick out of it and is really wanting one of his own to use when he goes fishing at 4 AM so that his hands will be free to tie fishing lures, fishing line, etc. I plan to order one for him too! I think they make great gifts for avid bed readers or outdoor people.

Would just recommend spending the extra $10 for a much better headlamp. Like I said this one flickers and the switch is not as nice as a button to turn on and off especially if you are wearing gloves or something. Haven't tried it, but looks like the Tikka Plus is a lot better with different settings and a push button.

Good for outdoors and most things, but light does flicker if trying to read :(

I like the ability to adjust the light, makes it easier to see in the dark hands-free as well as not blind people while talking to them - your friends will appreciate it. I've used the headlamp for both nighttime bouldering and retreat (with mention of a bright 3rd eye) as well as camping.

It is light weight, has a long lasting battery light and works well through wet rainy conditions. It is relatively inexpensive and thus a good deal for the price.
I have not experienced any flickering problems even after a good 30 nights of use on the same battery.
The LED lights take some getting used to, as they don't create shadows like traditional lights so it feels like they are less bright when walking.

I prefer the Petzl Tikkina over my Black Diamond because the lamp is permanently affixed to the elastic head strap, unlike the black diamond which clips on...several times they got separated in my pack or it popped off while trying to put the lamp on.

This is a great little light! I've used it while backpacking & camping, working on my car, hooking up audio/visual connectors behind my equipment, and rummaging around in my attic. It's the perfect size for most tasks. While it may not have enough wattage for nighttime hiking, it puts out a very clear, bright white light for camp chores & setting up your tent in the dark. It's very comfortable, it's light, it's cheap, and the batteries last for many hours. Great stocking stuffer!

I actually use this for running and have found it to work really well! It stays on my head - no fears of it coming off. It gives just enough light for me to see ahead and I love the fact that the lamp is adjustable - you can point it up or down.
