Description

The TacTikka Plus gives you night vision.

The Petzl TacTikka Plus is a tactical version of the popular Tikka Plus Headlamp. It has all of the great features including 4 LEDs instead of 3, a push on/off button instead of a slider switch, a tiltable housing, and 3 brightness settings with strobe function. These features have been combined with a red lens that easily flips down over the LED's for night vision. It is also water-resistant for all-weather use. The 150-hour burn time and durability of the LED makes the TacTikka Plus reliable. It doesn't throw out huge candlepower (33ft or 10m), making it ideal for activities requiring close-up lighting like trail hiking, setting up camp, and reading. The TacTikka Plus runs on 3 AAA batteries (included), and at 2.5 ounces, weighs next to nothing in your pack.

For the most part, this headlamp worked as expected. It was bright enough, the head strap was good, etc. I also has a few other features like a red flip-down lens and strobe function, which I never really found useful.

However, I always found the battery compartment door really difficult to open. Once, not that long after buying this headlamp, I was struggling to open the compartment door and must have applied too much force. One of the plastic pieces on the door hinge broke. Given the price, I expected the headlamp to be better designed and more sturdy.

I won't be repurchasing.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

You really can't go wrong with this headlamp. Great battery life, extremely durable and light...what more could you ask for?

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.

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..

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.

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.

Can this headlamp use the CORE battery...

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!!

The Tactikka is not compatible with the CORE system. Go with the XP2 if the CORE is important.

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.
