Whether you're camping in the woods, backpacking along a trail, or working on your car in the driveway, the water resistant Tikka Plus2 is the ideal companion.
Two Integrated Light Sources
The Tikka Plus2 headlamp integrates two light sources for versatility: one white, high-output LED and one red LED. The white LED delivers 50 lumens in maximum mode and projects up to 35 meters. In economic mode, it can reach a burn-time of 140 hours. In addition, the red LED provides spare lighting to preserve night vision or to become a strobe light for safety use. For emergency or locating purposes, a flashing mode has been added to enhance the security that a headlamp provides.
To save you time, the Tikka Plus2 features last-mode memory, which keeps the last mode used in memory until the next use. And to maximize versatility, the Petzl lens optimizes the reach of the beam.
User-Friendly, Flexible Design
Water resistant and built to last, the Tikka Plus2 is compatible with Petzl's ADAPT system (sold separately), which lets you detach the headlamp casing from the headband and attach it to a helmet, backpack, or jacket. It's also very easy to use, thanks to its easy-open battery pack, electronic push-button switch, and battery charge indicator.
The Tikka Plus2 comes with three AAA alkaline batteries and is backed by a three-year warranty.
About Petzl: Innovative Designs, Practical Approach
Petzl, a family company, was born out of Fernand Petzl's passion for caving. One of the leading experts of his generation, Fernand spent his life experimenting with vertical progression techniques, and he invented equipment that radically changed the status quo. The Petzl company applied these underground tools and solutions to other vertical environments: first to the mountains--rock climbing and mountaineering--and then to the professional sector, with work and rescue at-height. The Petzl company quickly became known as the foremost innovator in the vertical world and has been associated with all major underground, alpine, and Himalayan adventures since the 1970s.
Today, Petzl is the leader of hands-free lighting. Petzl revolutionized the industry starting with the Zoom, and then the Tikka--the first compact light. The company moved forward to introduce the state-of-the-art e+Lite and Ultra, and it continues to work with outdoor sports enthusiasts and professionals to create innovative, practical, high-quality lighting and climbing products.

Tools and Hardware Reviews of Petzl E97 PM Tikka Plus 2 Headlamp, Mystic Gray
Customer Review: Works great for what I need
Summary: 5 Stars
I ordered this after sitting with a disabled hiker for hours waiting for SaR, well past dark. Of course SaR had their headlamps, and I had my trusty flashlight. Decided on the way out that night that I wanted a headlamp as well, for the ease of use, and hands-free capabilities.
After looking through all the different headlamps, I settled on this one for a couple reasons- it's LED based, so no bulb to break, and lots of battery life, it's light, the light unit is self-contained, with no wire from the light to the battery pack. The price isn't too bad compared to some, so if I lose or damage/destroy it, it's not a big deal.
I've used this light extensively since I received it almost a year ago, and it continues to impress me. There are brighter headlamps out there, so if brightness is your prime concern, you may want to look elsewhere. Personally, though, I do not feel the light output lacking, both around the house and for performing tasks around camp after dark.
Operation is as easy as installing the batteries (a single clip, which might be trouble for those with impaired dexterity in the fingers), and pushing the button. The button is recessed enough that I don't worry about it turning on in my pack, but still easy to operate, even with gloves on. At first I was concerned with the click-stop adjustment for angling the headlamp downward, but even after all the use I've given it, the stops are still just as tight as new.
An appreciated feature is that the light remembers if you last used it for white or red lighting, so, for example, you don't blind everyone at a star-gazing event- just set your light to red before you arrive (as easy as holding the switch for a few seconds) and then, until you set it back, every time you turn it on it will activate the red LED.
Battery life seems excellent. I typically run NiMH batteries in the headlamp, and they last quite a while. The light brightness does diminish as the batteries run down, but it's easy to pop them into the charger for a few hours and everything's back at full again. Running on the low power white light, I typically charge the batteries once a month, with a few hours of use every night. Batteries, especially the small AAA's that this lamp uses, do lose efficiency as they get cold. Keeping the lamp in your pocket until you need it helps, but if it's below freezing I try bring an extra set of batteries, just for insurance.
Also, I'm not entirely certain, but I believe the lamp is slightly dimmer with fully charged NiMH batteries than with alkaline, possibly due to NiMH being nominally 1.2 volts. If brightness and runtime are critical, throw a fresh set of alkaline in and you shouldn't have a problem. The light is small enough that it's easy to carry an extra set of batteries, just in case.
