The Petzl Tikka is an incredibly easy-to-use, reliable, and compact headlamp designed for close-range, wide-beam illumination needs. Whether you are out for an evening walk, setting up camp, backpacking, or doing precision DIY work around the house, the Tikka provides dependable performance. Designed with legendary Petzl durability (proven even in caving environments), it is a choice you can always trust.
Hybrid Concept Flexibility: Out of the box, the Tikka runs on three standard AAA batteries (included). However, it is also fully compatible with the rechargeable Petzl Core Li-ion battery (sold separately). Upgrading to the Core battery unleashes an impressive top output of 450 lumens.
Sustainable Materials: Committed to reducing environmental impact, the headband and storage pouch are crafted from 100% recycled materials, and most of the plastic chassis components are made using recycled plastics.
Reserve Power Mode: To prevent you from being suddenly stranded in the dark, the headlamp automatically switches to a low-power reserve mode when the battery runs low, extending operational life for up to an additional 20 hours.
Dual Light Outputs (White & Red): Features three functional brightness levels of white light for general tasks. The independent red light mode offers steady illumination to preserve night vision without blinding campmates, plus an emergency strobe setting. Red light also prevents attracting insects.
Phosphorescent Glow-in-the-Dark Ring: A built-in glow ring surrounding the LED remains visible after the lamp is turned off, allowing you to locate your headlamp instantly in a pitch-black tent or backpack.
Lantern Conversion Pouch: Includes a translucent white storage pouch that diffuses the headlamp s beam, instantly transforming your Tikka into a soft-glowing ambient tent lantern.
Rugged, User-Friendly Build: Designed with a single large button that can be effortlessly operated while wearing gloves. The lamp head tilts to adjust the beam angle, and the IPX4 housing ensures resilience against rainfall and splashes from any direction.
