Petzl tactikka + rgb headlamp

Hem / Hobby, Spel & Fritid / Petzl tactikka + rgb headlamp

What Works

Bright, Light, and Rechargeable
Why the TACTIKKA+RGB? It also features a quick-release buckle on the headband, and that headband is detachable and washable.

Price
An MSRP of $59.95 seems like a bargain with this array of features and especially since it’s backed by a five-year guarantee.

What Doesn’t

Is It Too Light?
After heavy use under trying circumstances, I have one complaint about the TACTIKKA+RGB.

First, their high-quality LEDs provide more than enough power to light up just about any work environment. In a pinch, I also used that dimmest white light setting as I would a lantern by suspending it from a rope overhead. All three save my night vision, but red and green also provide a stealthy approach to treestands, blinds, and creek banks while the blue light makes map lines and writing easier to read in the dark when I’m not sure about where I am.

Why you can always count on TACTIKKA headlamps

While most professionals use a secondary light source during daily operations, not everyone needs an extremely bright headlamp with specific technical features like ATEX certification.

This enables professionals, like theater technicians, to remain discreet and out of sight but still able to see clearly in the dark.

Simple, yet fully-featured

Helping workers complete their assignments also means using a headlamp that requires as little handling as possible. This practical and flexible solution allows you to take advantage of the benefits each energy source offers based on use and need.
Depending on whether you choose standard batteries or the rechargeable battery, the headlamp will not perform exactly the same in terms of brightness, battery life, self-discharge, or in the cold.

It worked brilliantly.

Compact and powerful headlamp ideal for hunting and fishing. Long battery life is also a key feature on these lamps. Surely they could find me before the batteries konk out.

It has a mixed beam for proximity and distance vision during movement. The company has been around for 50 years and it literally came out of a cave.

But it wasn’t until sometime in the 2000s that I discovered a much lighter and brighter lamp better suited to my outdoor pursuits. There’s also a strobe option for when I absolutely don’t where I am.

Burntime
The TACTIKKA+RGB has a 160 hour burn time for lowest-level (6 lumens) white light, 60 hours for the colored lights, and 2 hours for maximum brightness.

The Petzl family’s need for quality spelunking equipment in France is what led to the TACTIKKA+RGB being strapped to my noggin for numerous trips through dark Arkansas woods this past autumn and winter. Despite its cantankerous temperament (which often led to Dad sharing his colorful vocabulary with the moon and stars) and knowing there was the slim possibility of camp-consuming fireball, the comforting hiss of a pump-primed Coleman is still one of my favorite lullabies from childhood.

Our options for strategic lighting ranged from cheap “C” cell flashlights that always seemed to get water inside, guaranteeing their death by corrosion, or those six-volt “lanterns” that were about as big as a coffee can and came in all of the primary colors.

This is why Petzl developed its line of ultra-compact TACTIKKA headlamps.

Energy and networks

In 2001, Petzl started a revolution when it launched the TIKKA headlamp.

Versatility
But the main reason the TACTIKKA+RGB accompanied me on hunts and will ride my head on predawn hikes to the creek this summer is the RGB.

The letters stand for red, green, and blue lights. It is so lightweight that sometimes when I turned it off I forget I was wearing it, which led to frantic scrounging through my pack and then the inevitable concern about being a moron when I rediscovered it on my head.

Not Waterproof
Okay, two complaints.
