PETZLTikka CORE Headlamp - Rechargeable, Compact 450 Lumen Light with Red Lighting, for Hiking, Climbing, and Camping

9 Month Update: The more I use this headlamp, the more I love it. It's ability to be aimed up or down is great. It also is easy on batteries, they last a long time and it tells you the battery's condition every time you light it. I'm glad I bought it.UPDATE: 1. I did figure out how to lock the headlamp. 2. Even the storage bag has a great design. It has an elastic cord to pull tight and seal the bag. To open, it has rubber tabs on each side to pull on. (See photo)I had a Black Diamond headlamp that died after 8 years and a battery that leaked. When I went to replace it with the same brand, the models had completely changed. I didn't like them so I went searching. I had seen a Petzl headlamp on a Nat Geo show so I decided to check them out. I decided on this model for a few reasons.1. It's a new model.2. The price was in my range.3. The number of lumens was in my range.4. It has two ways of powering.It has both pros & cons, but the pros outweigh the cons.The pros:1. It comes with a storage bag2. The strap is adjustable and stays how you adjusted it3. It has 3 levels of white light: from good to fantastic.4. It uses either 3 AAA batteries or the optional rechargeable battery pack.5. It feels well made, even though it's plastic6. You can point the light up, straight ahead & down while wearing it on your head.The cons:1. The instructions are difficult to understand until you figure them out. It looks like you have to push different buttons. However, I figured out how to change white levels, change back and forth from white to red light and turn on the red strobe. It's all done with the single button on the top. Just hold it down for varying times2. The battery door is difficult to open. I had to use a knife to pry it open and you have to open it to charge the battery. I don't advise using a knife.3. It has a lock so it won't turn on by accident. Unfortunately, I still haven't figured out how to lock it.Taking everything into consideration, I would definitely buy it again. I will update this review in 3 to 6 months with battery time and sturdiness.

The product is well made, but poorly engineered for something with limited functions. Wanted just a headlamp with a couple of power levels, but even with limited functionality the manufacturer figured out how to make it somewhat confusing to use. It is not at all clear on the sequence of button pushing that is required to turn the red light on and off other than removing the battery pack.

Very bright and easy to use with one button.All functionalities work - red light, strobe, locking, different levels of brightness. I see some reviews mentioning they couldn’t figure out how to enable different modes.1) Hold the button for 4 seconds to lock or unlock it to prevent accidentally turning on the light in your backpack.2) After unlocking, single click will switch the brightness levels of white light or turn off.3) Holding it for 2-3 seconds when in white light mode switches it to red light mode.4) Single click in red light mode will switch it between strobe and regular red light. Holding it for 2-3 seconds will switch it to white light mode again.I see some other reviews mentioning that these might be counterfeit based on the words ‘patend pending’ on the strap. The one I got has those words too, but product works as intended. Used it only once though. Few hours on a hike in the dark in 10F weather. Had it in low brightness for sometime and then switched to the high brightness. Surprised how bright it was. I was hiking in a group and rest of the group walking before me figured light from their headlamp is not even needed any more as mine lit up the trail for significant distance.Love the hybrid option of rechargeable battery and AAA batteries. My only complaint is that the battery compartment is hard to open though.I will update my review after more usage if I find issues with the functionality.

La lámpara no soporta más de 3 horas continuas de funcionamiento al máximo, se descarga muy rápido. ¿ dónde pido mi reembolso si la usé un par de ocasiones y ya pasó más de un mes?

軽い、長持ち、光量も十分コアを買えば明るさも450ルーメンまで上がるし使い回ししやすいので乾電池式のティカよりオススメ水漏れも長時間水没しない限りは大丈夫ですストラップが結構絞れるので頭じゃなく首にもまけますしライトの角度調整がかなり回りますから⚪︎不満点は色にブラックが無いこと🥹

Compre este modelo por que enEl Título , en la descripción y además el número de modelo hace referencia a que debería de incluir la batería core. Pero el número de modelo que me llego es la versión que viene sin la batería. Lo cual es algo muy importante

La praticità della batteria Core è insuperabile
