Frustrating red flip lense
ninki pinki

Positives: I needed a really bright head torch. The main setting was just that and I was even able to run in total darkness and know where I was going, as well as it staying still on my head. The 2nd lowest setting with the red was good in a tent the 3rd setting or strobe was useless and needn't be included. Negatives: I really liked the option to flip down to the red light yet it was still blinding to others. The major design flaw is the red flip down lens. It was extremely hard to find the top to be able to flip it up or down even with bare fingers- forget about it with cold fingers or with gloves on! this was really disappointing and VERY VERY frustrating.

It's an all-around useful little guy. It's light, sturdy, and trustworthy. I use it for early morning, pre-dawn trail runs. It's all that I need, but is often overpowered by the lights of my friends. I've dropped it several times, and it does pop apart, but it's easy to click back together.
Disappointed in color

I have many Fenix LED flashlights, so I'm used to their bright white color. When I turned this headlamp on...the room turned PURPLE! Horrible color LED, I'm not even sure I can use this. I'll try it outside in the dark and maybe update my review, but I doubt it. Still giving 3 stars for the comfortable fit and amount of light output.
Great headlamp

I am a first time buyer of headlamp and bought this based on reviews I saw on backcountry.com...really like it and it works perfectly. Easy to use, good quality & brings enough light for me when running at night.
disappointing

Button for light on and off very difficult to use. i asked a very strong man to do this and even he had trouble. In addition the red screen for night vision has a 'lip' to find it when on head, however this 'lip' is flush with the rest of lamp and can hardly be found even when lamp is in hands. Easier to flip up than down but not really functional enough. For what the blurb explains about strength of light I was mislead. There are far too few led lights to do a good job. On the positive side, it is very comfortable, so on stormy nights when the power is out I can use this headlight for reading...indoors. Maybe someone else does not have my issues. But everyone who tried this one I bought, said the same about on/off button and no easy access to night vision shade especially flipping it down.
I have several other headlamps and this did not compare to equivalent price - which is too high in any case for what I got.
Small package - great performance

This thing is really lightweight, simple to use, comfortable, and compact. What more can you ask for? Although this thing is incredibly lightweight the amount of light it puts out is wonderful. No lantern necessary.

Got this as a last minute replacement for a broken lamp, and it definitely gets the job done; multiple brightness settings with a flasher and a red filter. Super adjustable strap so it'll work with even with a brain bucket

Nothing bad to say about this. This headlamp is simple, small and provides a nice amount of light for whatever you you may need it for. Definitely recommend it!

Perfect Head Lamp

Over many years, I have owned several Petzl, Princeton Tec and Black Diamond lamps. This one has been my fav. I have had the Tactikka plus for 3 years now. It is basic; but, has everything you need for most general activities. Compact and takes up little space in a pack. Multiple settings for light output plus a strobe and red lens. Good battery life. Great basic lamp.
Awesomeness

Perfect fit, great size.
EASY OPERATION

Has enough light for trail walking and dims down easily to save on battery power. The red lens cover flips up and down easily too to help with the night vision, you don't have to continually push a button trying to find the red night vision light. Weighs very little.... The Red Lens Cover(flipping up and down)takes alittle getting use to..
Very solid headlamp for all activities.

I'm convinced that head lamps are one of the best, most useful tools to have. Whether in the car, camping or exploring the wonders of the world. This is an item you're going to want to have with you. It's clean and efficiently designed and build to last.
Is it ok to use rechargeables bateries

Is it ok to use rechargeables bateries
James Jenden
Member since
Yep, just fine. Generally though, NiMH batteries don't perform as well in cold weather, so keep that in mind if you'll be mountaineering or winter camping.
Basic headlamp which is all most of us need.

Great headlamp. Does what it is supposed to do and takes a beating. The other reviews found here say the same. Just buy it already!
Can this headlamp use the CORE battery...
Sean Hilliard
Member since
Can this headlamp use the CORE battery kit? It looks like it should, but I am not sure. Anyone know? I am trying to decide between this and the tikka xp 2.
Thanks!!
Dave Marcus
Member since
The Tactikka is not compatible with the CORE system. Go with the XP2 if the CORE is important.
Sean Hilliard
Member since
Thanks for the help!! I will check out the XP2 then. I think that CORE battery kit is one of the smartest things I have seen in headlamps in quite a while.
Favorite headlamp

I have 3 of these and they are my go-to headlamps for car-camping, backpacking, and playing in the desert. While there are more powerful headlamps in existence, I have never been wanting for extra power. The Tactikkaplus is a solid workhorse. The red flip-down is awesome for times where you want to maintain your nightvision or are with a group and don't want to blind everyone else around the fire.
