Headband flashlight Petzl Actik Black — LED, 100 lm, 2 LEDs, IPX4, AAA batteries

The Petzl Actik Black is a compact headband flashlight designed for hands-free LED illumination in outdoor and general-use situations. It delivers a combined output of 100 lumens from two LEDs and is powered by LR03/AAA batteries. The lamp features a splash-resistant IPX4 rating, a lightweight construction of approximately 98 g, and straightforward button controls for selecting brightness and color modes. The removable and washable headband is adjustable for a secure fit and the luminaire includes a phosphorescent element to help locate the lamp in low light.

Advantages

The Petzl Actik provides a balanced mix of proximity and forward illumination suitable for close tasks and short-range movement. Its three selectable power levels allow users to choose between extended runtime and maximum output, while a red light mode preserves night vision and reduces glare for others. The lamp’s simple single-button interface, battery level indicator, and lock function make it practical for transport and everyday use. IPX4 splash resistance and a lightweight design support mobile activities such as running and camping.
