Petzl Actik Core is a compact headband flashlight designed for hands-free illumination during outdoor activities and general tasks. This red LED headlamp delivers up to 100 lumens from two LEDs and integrates a 1250 mAh rechargeable battery that charges via USB. The lamp is lightweight (0.088 kg) and offers splash resistance (IPX4), making it suitable for running, hiking, camping and other situations that require portable, rechargeable lighting.

Its phosphorescent reflector makes the lamp easy to find in low light, while the red lighting mode preserves night vision and reduces glare for others. The headband is adjustable and removable for washing, and the lamp’s button control keeps operation simple.
