Editorial Review :

Highly functional for backcountry use, the Petzl Tikkina Headlamp is not only lightweight at just 2.8 ounces including the batteries, it offers a comfortable headband and the ability to rotate the beam upward or downward for the best possible aim. The burn time is attractive to those who carry their gear on their back too, providing over 140 hours of usable light before the batteries need replacing. Rated for all conditions use, the Petzl Tikkina Headlamp continues to shine in driving rain or snow.

Husband loves the headlamp

My husband picked this out and i bought it off his wish list. He is very happy with it.

Rating :

Much brighter than I thought.

I have bought twenty dollar flashlights before and this is significantly brighter. The packaging says something like 125 hour battery life. Haven't had it that long, but I'm hopeful. Overall it will be a great addition to my camp pack.

Rating :

Works great but a little heavy

This little guy is easy to pack and useful in so many situations. From reading in bed at night, playing cards at night at the campsite, or heading out to the bathroom, this will light the way while keeping your hands free. When you're wearing it, you can tell it's there (a little on the heavy side) and the strap will leave a mark after while. It's the economical way to go and will get the job done. Petzl is a great brand and won't let you down.

For those who want to spluge, I'd recommend the Tikka version -- more lighting options, additional range of motion on the light itself, and a little less bulky (Petzl E93 PS Tikka 2 Headlamp, Storm Gray or Petzl E97 PM Tikka Plus 2 Headlamp, Mystic Gray).

Blind your frineds!!!

Bought it for the price and high ratings. Worked great on my first use. Went on a hike that involved a short trip into caves. Loved it! It was comfortable and I kept forgetting I was wearing it. When I would turn to face someone I would blind them. Was hilarious to me and I was comforted by its ability to blind my friends. Others were using flashlights and when I would turn my headlamp off it was as if they were holding candles. Amazing how wide the beam is. Now I'm just looking for more excuses to blind my friends!

Great little contraption

Shipped very promptly. I have never used a product like this but it really works well for night fishing and walking along the beach after dark. Very comfortable to wear. Hardly know you have it on.

There are better options for your money.

I recently purchased both this headlamp, and a similar model from Energizer, (Energizer 6 LED Headlight) and my experiences have been quite different with each. This is my first Amazon review, so bear with me:

First, the price. The Petzl 4-LED headlamp is $30 plus, whereas the Energizer 6-LED is approximately $20. More light for less cash. Score one for Energizer.

Secondly, the construction. The plastic housing used on the Petzl model seems far less rugged than the Energizer. In further comparison, the elastic headband just seems cheaply produced. Then there's the battery compartment. It's a bit awkward, and took me a few minutes to get the housing to close again properly. The lamp itself does have a smaller body than its cousin, but not by much.

Finally, the functionality. The Petzl model's swivel is notched and gives four angles of possible illumination. The Energizer model's swivel is smooth, and gives what I'd approximate to be 120 degrees of light. The Petzl might give 40 degrees. The red filter is just a cheap flap of red translucent plastic. Really not much to say about that.

The reason I give this product three stars is because it does what it's supposed to do. It'll give you a decent hands-free lighting option wether you're in the woods or trying to fix your car on the side of the road. I'm not affiliated with Energizer, but as the title says, there are better options for your money.

50/50

I ordered two of the headlamps,one works fine, the other would not stay closed. I finally figured out that the battery was not seating correctly and kept the cover from closing shut.Sent it back, not interested in trying it again.

Very weak light for such a high price...

I received this light one day and the next day it was gone. Why? Because its really an expensive and weak light for your money.I felt cheated since I got a cheap 20 dollar headlamp(~50 lumens) at a local mega store and it outshined this overpriced piece of junk. The light appeared a blueish tint, and very weak, it was hard to make out anything past 50 ft even on the max setting. so 35 lumens for 43 bucks...yea outrageously overpriced. I dont see how this can maintain a 4 1/2 stars

After i returned this i found another headlamp for about 20 dollars more than the petzl and it made a WORLD OF DIFFERENCE!!. My friend had lent me his headlamp which he uses for fishing and it is extraordinarily bright. So i looked for his headlamp on the net and stumbled upon the fenix hp10(225 lumens!). Lets just say, on the 2nd brightness(out of 4 illumination modes)setting of the hp10, it outshined the petzl which was set on the max setting! The search was over for a decent headlamp, go for this one, u wont regret it!

Editorial Review :

With seven, ultra-bright, white LEDs, the Streamlight Septor LED Headlamp features three levels of lighting for a wide range of applications including up-close detail work and long-range viewing.

Septor LED Headlamp At a Glance: Ultra-bright LED headlamp with three different settings 90-degree tilt mechanism reduces neck strain and focuses the light where you need it Elastic head strap fits comfortably and securely to any head size Includes rubber head strap for hard hats Lifetime limited warranty

The adjustable elastic head strap wraps around and over the top of your head or cap for a secure fit. View larger.

The rubber head strap ensures a nonslip grip for hard hats. View larger.

Hands-Free Lighting
Weighing just 4.72 ounces, the Streamlight Septor LED Headlamp fits comfortably to your head with the included rubber hard hat strap, leaving your hands free to perform electrical work, set up a tent, look under the house, consult a manual, and more. You can use the Septor Headlamp anywhere you use a regular flashlight, but you'll have both hands available to perform the task at hand. This headlamp produces 50 lumens of light with seven LEDs, 25 lumens with three LEDs, or 9 lumens with one LED. It has a run time of up to 150 hours on three "AAA" batteries (included).

The Advantages of LED Technology
An LED is ideal for lights that are used often and over an extended period of time. You don't have to worry about breaking the light, since there is no glass or filament, and you rarely have to replace LEDs because they can last a lifetime. Save time and money on batteries as well--they will last much longer with an LED than with a regular light bulb.

Seven LEDs Provide Bright, Powerful Illumination
The Septor Headlamp uses seven, super-bright, 100,000-hour LEDs, so you'll never need to replace a bulb again. Protected by an unbreakable polycarbonate lens, the seven LEDs provide 50 lumens of light for distance illumination. You also have the option to use three of the LEDs for medium range lighting or a single LED for short range lighting.

Push Button and Tilting Head for Convenient Operation
Designed for convenience and ease-of-use, the Septor Headlamp features a push-button switch at the top of the unit for quickly turning on and scrolling through the settings--first illuminating one LED, then three, and then all seven. The head tilts down to 90 degrees, reducing neck strain and allowing you to focus the light as needed.

Durable Components for Extended Use
Made with water-resistant thermoplastic construction that is virtually indestructible, the Septor Headlamp comes with an adjustable elastic head strap that wraps comfortably around and over the top of your head or cap for a secure fit. A rubber head strap is also included and ensures a nonslip grip for hard hats.

The Streamlight Septor LED Headlamp is backed by a manufacturer's limited lifetime warranty.

What's in the Box
Streamlight Septor LED Headlamp, three "AAA" batteries, rubber hard-hat strap, and elastic head strap.

confort and quality

This headlamp is awsome, has 3 diferent options of led using, it's possible to use 1, 3 or all leds at the same time. I also got impressed about the light intensity from the leds, plus it fits very confortable in the head. If you need light with free-hands that's a must have.

LED Headlamp

I really like this headlamp. It's well-made and powerful. I had intended it for hiking and for occasional use around the yard at night. But I have found that it's excellent for all inside home repair work. Working under a sink, for instance. No need to hold a flashlight or set up a lamp. I've used other headlamps for home and auto work but the brightness and endurance of this one make it a better experience.

Great Investment for Work

I work road construction, and this has been the year of the night work. I have an LED flashlight, but it was a problem with rummaging through a tool box, or trying to fix a generator to get the light plants up and running. I did see a few cheaper headlamps at the local hardware store, but decided to check amazon.

I came across the Streamlight 61052, and decided to give it a try. The build quality is excellent, with gaskets for the battery door and lens surround. I immediately got the product out of the package and attached it to my hardhat, batteries installed I was out the door.

I arrived at the project, and almost forgot I had the headlamp on...I peered into our job trailer straining my eyes for the equipment I needed, until that little light came on above my head...literally!

The three brightness settings are one of the greatest features of this lamp, the choices are:

1 press= 1 Led
2 presses= 3 Led's
3 presses= 7 Led's
4 presses= OFF

Even with only 1 Led lit, the area in front of you is filled with brilliant white light, and with all 7 on, you feel like its noon! I would highly recommend this headlight, to anybody needing a little extra light for any activity. I personally cant wait to try this thing outside of work, maybe for some fishing, or camping!

Septor 61052 led Headlamp

I have used so many headlamps over the years I have lost count. Everyone of the previous ones had one thing or another I did not like. (Not bright enough, undependable, runs batteries down when not in use, has 4 different settings when only one does what it is supposed to, "provide ample light" and on and on.) This one has 3 useful settings. The dimmest one is bright enough to work with, the brightest one is very bright for those hard to see places like working under a car in a very tight, dark location. I have no need for the shop lights since buying this headlamp. It is easy to use and is easy to clean up, adjust angle, adjust straps, etc.

Light and bright

Nice headlamp. Very light and comfortable. Easy to move around in camp after dark.

Used bright, dim and red modes. Easy to switch modes. Versatile.

Red mode is nice, used often to preserve night vision.

Have only used for ~6hrs can't comment on battery life, alkalines still strong.

Rating :

overpriced for performance

This headlamp was not as bright as I hoped it would be. The light spread is not very great either (with the plastic slide in position). I do like that it has a very loud high pitched whistle for emergency purposes. Also, the light does not stay bright the duration of the battery life, it dims as the batteries drain.

Rating :

Great illumination

This device cost a little more than other brands but it is well worth it. I used it while hiking and it lit up the pathways perfectly. It made my journey pleasant and safe. Also, knowing that it had a flashing red LED in case of emergency, gave me peace of mind while moving about in the middle of nowhere.

Rating :

Extra bright, Don't look people in the eyes.

Petzel headlamps keep getting better and better. I use it when hiking, snowshoeing and cross country skiing after dark. Like any headlamp it is rude to look at someone without tipping your headlamp to avoid blinding them. With this lamp, you may have to lead them around while the dazzle dissipates.

Rating :

Great headlamp

Great product. Always a fan of Petzl lights. I use it for working around aircraft at night for inspection of the aircraft. The white light is extremely bright and the red lens also provides great visibility without ruining your dark adaptation. The only thing that I don't like is having to push the button to "scroll" through the different settings including switching to the red lamp. I have found this is usually the case with most headlamps, so its not that big of an issue.

Perfectly designed 2 AAA headlamp!

I am extremely happy with this perfectly designed 2 (TWO) AAA battery headlamp. Often you will find very well designed products from newer companies before they change the design to fit what the 'consumer' desires. The design is often very well thought through for it's initial release and it appears that is the case here.

Nothing wrong with this but the local walmart store has a better headlamp

This lamp serves the purpose. I wasnt too crazy about the single lamp. I recently used this on a 6 hour over night hike and it worked well and was reasonably bright. The lamp seemed of some what cheaper quality one than the energizer one i bought in walmart which also has the laser in case you need to be rescued etc

I could see a laser beam from one of those headlamps about a mile away. Unlike the energizer this headlamp has only one lamp. The enrgizer one has multiple modes.

Got me up Mt Fuji

I used this headlamp to climb Mt Fuji......started the climb at 8 pm and used the light until about 3am.The battery lasted the whole time and it was fairly comfortable.For the price i would definetly suggest this product to others preparing for a night hike/climb.

Great light - tilt feature OK

This is a great value headlamp. It's not as robust as my Petzl lamp, but it's far cheaper. My only complaint is the angle adjustment is soft and can shift while you walk, so sometimes I have to re-adjust it as I go. The lamp is very bright and quite effective even at reasonable distances.

It's not a novel, it's a review

The light has worked great. We use it to check our dogs ears and it has also been used as a reading light. Only negative is the battery instillation.
