Tools and Hardware Reviews of Petzl E49P TacTikka Plus 4-LED Headlamp, Black
Customer Review: A bit pricey but great...
Summary: 5 Stars
This thing has sufficient amount of light power for camping, or working in the dark night. The light setting is great because normally using it on the lowest setting works well. The only problem I have with this unit is the red lense cover that flips over the white LED light to "produce" a red LED lighting. For those who need true red LED this will not work for them because white light escapes through the side of the red lense cover. This wouldn't apply to most people who will use this headlamp, however, for those who work on aircraft carriers, they know how important it is not to have white light escaping from the headlamps otherwise they'll blind the pilots using night vision goggles. Otherwise, I recommend this headlamp, even bought one for my brother for Iraq.
Description of Petzl E49P TacTikka Plus 4-LED Headlamp, Black
The TacTikka Plus is a tactical version of the popular TikkaPlus headlamp. It uses 4 LEDs and push button technology, has tiltable housing, 3 brightness settings, and current regulation for when battery power runs down. It also features a red flipdown lens for night vision, and includes 3 AAA batteries for up to 150 hours of burn time.While this headlamp is designed specifically for night fishing, it could just as easily be used for other purposes, such as night hiking, camping, climbing, or even hunting.
The TacTikka Plus is lightweight (78 g with batteries) and comfortable to wear, which is a good thing, since you're likely to be using it over longer stretches of time. Another great feature of the LED bulbs is that they are much more impact-resistant than incandescents: you're really going to have to smack it hard against something before you lose your illumination. Plus, LEDs are extremely energy-efficient. According to the manufacturer, you'll get functional illumination up to 150 hours on the included batteries, depending on which light levels you operate at.
The TacTikka Plus has three intensity settings, allowing you to customize your lighting to match your needs. The optimum setting illuminates to 23 meters (note that the range will decline slightly over time as you run your batteries down). If you need more vision, you can switch to the maximum setting; if you need to look at a map, use the economic setting. Hunters and fishing enthusiasts will appreciate the pull-down red filter, which renders the light invisible to most game. It even has an emergency strobe if things get ugly.
Overall a handy, well-designed product.--Josh Dettweiler
