Tools and Hardware Reviews of Petzl E48 PBY Zipka Plus 4-LED Headlamp, Black and Yellow
Customer Review: Great headlamp. Replaces a flashlight for countless uses.
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this headlamp. It's so lightweight, you barely even notice it on your head. It is bright enough for camping, and around the house use, wherever you might normally use a flashlight. It is not bright enough for cycling, or searching long distances. It creates a nice cone of light for close to medium range viewing. My only complaint is that it's so small and compact, I sometimes lose it in my gear bag ;-)Customer Review: Great item.
Summary: 5 Stars
I use this primarily for night walks and fiddling around behind my entertainment system. I like it better than the headband model because you can wear it not only as a headband but around your wrist or if you have a backpack, on the shoulder strap. Didn't want to pay the price, but glad I did. I've had it for about a year now and have no complaints. Only changed the batteries once and I use it daily. It's a great tool to have.Customer Review: Great product if it doesn't malfunction
Summary: 3 Stars
I love this headlamp, but as with one other reveiwer, after a few months of flawless use, it started shutting off on me in the middle of active use. This can be quite dangerous depending on what you are using it for. At the very least it is aggrivating. It is usually difficult to get it to come back on without adjusting the batteries in various ways. I like the headlamp itself so much that I have continued to use it even with this large fault, but I am becoming less tolerant and am likely to purchase a new head lamp soon, but will not buy this one again unless this issue is resolved with the product.Customer Review: Great running light!

Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this for my wife as a christmas present. She's hooked on The Amazing Race and figured if the contestants have one, she wanted one as well! When I shopped for one, a woman told me about the Zipka plus. She kept it in her purse and used it constantly.
The unit was as good as was described. light, compact, and convenient. I found myself borrowing hers so much I had to get one for myself, hence this review.
I am a freelance programmer by profession, and find myself often digging around under desks and inside computers. This has made my life so much easier. I always have it with me, and put it on whenever I need, no matter how silly I may look to others. I also just used in during re-wiring a doorbell in an old house--a dirty, miserable job. But I couldn't have seen in the dark recesses in the back of a basement closet without it. A flashlight was just too cumbersome.
You'll find yourself using it in ways you never imagined, and never realized how much you need it until you have it!
