Does anyone know if the battery housing on the current tactikka plus still come off easily when bumped or pushing the on button? I've noticed a few people had complaints from 2006. Wondering if people that purchased in 2008 had the same problem. Thanks

The battery cover on the Princeton Tec Tactical Quad, very similar to the Petzl Tactikka Plus, that I purchased a year ago (summer 2010) has a machine screw holding it on. There is no way that it will pop open accidentally. The screw is still easy enough to turn since they have a narrow section of the buckle that looks like it is designed to fit perfectly in the screw slot. It's a very solid, water resistant, design that really doesn't require any tools to use. Well thought out in my opinion. Although both are good lights, I consider it to be an upgrade from the Tactikka.

Previously stated, the only thing I've noticed is if you push the top opening button while pulling down on the face, it can open. Just be careful not to do that, but never have I experienced your concern with my headlamp.

My wife and I both have one, and we have never had a problem with that.
