Tools and Hardware Reviews of Petzl E48 PBY Zipka Plus 4-LED Headlamp, Black and Yellow
Customer Review: A great little light!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've owned a Zipka for the past 4 years and it's been great! A real help on camping trips and for those times when I need to work on something in the dark and have my hands free. All the wear and tear is starting to show so I thought I would buy another and retire my original to the glove compartment of my car for emergencies....
Saw the new Zipka and thought I would give it a shot... While time will tell if it has the long term performance of my original I have to say it's got several features that are pretty nice over the original.... The fourth LED produces a markedly greater light output and is a welcome addition and the greatest improvement in an already great design... The switch now gives you the ability to select 3 levels of brightness (nice!) and a blinking option. The blinking selection is useless for me and annoying but is the only thing about the new design that doesn't add value for me...
Customer Review: This Headlamp is more than great
Summary: 5 Stars
I've bought this headlamp three years ago and it is always with me.
I use two sets of rechargeable batteries and never run out of power.
It is really truth, you will use this little treasure much more,than you could expect, as light source while doing something, and the beam is following your yes, keeping both your hands free. It can provide you enough light when you are reading, working, walking outside (or inside)in the darkness.
We had blackout for 24 hours just two days ago and headlamp was working continuously for more than three hours and I didn't see any difference in brightness. It's four LEDs provide more light than some other flashlights with 19-21 LEDs. It is expensive, but it worth it.I am surprise, that someone is complaining on quality of this product.
I didn't have ANY problems since I'd bought it in the beginning of 2005

Customer Review: Many Uses!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this headlamp as a "gift" for my wife, but end up using it just as much as her that I will probably find some reason to get myself the same gift! My main reason for buying this was that my wife likes to read in bed at night, and many of her options for light would bother my sleep. Using the Zipka Plus around the her wrist has solved this problem entirely. She is able to control the amount of light, and keep it focused on her book without getting in my way. I've borrowed it several times already - for hunting, where I'd normally have a handheld flashlight; for sweating some pipes in the basement, where I would fumble with a portable fluorescent lamp; and behind the tv when hooking up our new dvd player. I'm sure we'll find many more uses for this very versatile little product that packs a big punch!Customer Review: Best Headlamp EVER
Summary: 5 Stars
I have owned this headlamp for years, and I rave about it all the time. I live in Hawaii and camp/hike alot. It is very bright, and so compact. the batteries last forever... I even helped to evacuate a beach at night when 200 people couldn't see to climb down a cliff, I stood at the top and lit the path for everyone with this handy little light. I carry it with me EVERYWHERE. One thing I really like is when the batteries do start to wear down, its a slow fade, you wont be left in the dark, you will have lots of time to know to change the batteries. Just remember when you take it off your head, hold the strap at the back of your head, or your hair will get tangled in it. LOVE THIS PRODUCT!!!Customer Review: Awesome. Compact. Easy to lose...
Summary: 5 Stars
Great light source, tiny, and versatile. I love the retractable 'strap.' When I don't have it on my head, I wear it around my wrist to keep it handy. Sleeping in a tent at night, I find it really handy to wear around my wrist so you aren't fumbling for a light in the dark.
Battery life seems excellent as well. No complaints, except it's so small and unobtrusive that it's easy to lose in a crowded pack.
I also travel on business with it. Great to have in your bag in case power goes out, or you're trying to read on a dark plane and the overhead light is mispositioned or broken.
