Headband flashlight Petzl Tikka Core Brown LED 100 lm USB rechargeable

The Petzl Tikka Core Brown is a compact, rechargeable headband flashlight designed for after-dark outdoor activities. It delivers up to 450 lumens in its brightest setting while normally operating with two LEDs and a nominal output of 100 lm. The lamp features a HYBRID CONCEPT: it includes a built-in 1250 mAh CORE rechargeable battery and also accepts three standard batteries, offering flexibility for extended use. With USB charging and an IPX4 water-resistance rating, this lightweight (84 g) headlamp is suitable for hiking, camping, and general nighttime tasks.

Advantages

The headlamp provides a wide, uniform beam for comfortable near and close-up vision, three selectable white power levels for different run-time needs, and continuous red lighting to preserve night vision. A single-button control makes switching brightness or color quick and intuitive. Additional practical features include a battery charge indicator, a LOCK function to prevent accidental activation, a phosphorescent reflector for easy locating in the dark, and a removable, washable reflective headband made from recycled materials.

How to use

Turn the lamp on and off and change light modes using the single button located on the lamp body. Select from three white power levels for different brightness and run-time needs, use the continuous red light to preserve night vision, or activate the strobe for signaling. Check the battery charge indicator each time the lamp is switched on or off to monitor remaining power. To recharge, connect the CORE battery to a USB power source. The plate on the lamp allows tilting the lamp up or down and the band can be worn around the neck if required.

Recommendations

Use the LOCK function when storing or transporting the headlamp to avoid accidental activation. For extended outings, carry spare standard batteries as the lamp supports hybrid operation; recharge the CORE battery from a USB power bank when possible. Wash the removable headband as needed and keep the reflector exposed so it remains easy to locate in low light.
