Tools and Hardware Reviews of Petzl E49P TacTikka Plus 4-LED Headlamp, Black
Customer Review: Great light except for running
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought one of these about a year ago. I use it for trail running when it is dark out. Probably about 2-3 times a week for 5 months of the year. The light is very comfortable, easy to use, and casts a very bright/usable light. 5 stars on all of that for me. I have had problems with corrosion on this light though as I sweat when running and have found that despite washing the light, salt gets in and causes the battery to leak. I clean out the battery compartment but can never get quite all of the corrosion out of the cracks so now it happens faster than when it was new.
For running, I have just bought a new lamp that is waterproof not water resistant, I will see how it goes. For this light I would say it is great unless you are getting it wet/sweating with it regularly. You will have to either replace it every few months or clean it every week or so. Not the end of the world but I just can't be bothered with it. I am trying a Fenix 4 Mode 105 Lumen LED Headlamp which seems as if it should resist sweat better
Customer Review: Great little contraption
Summary: 5 Stars
Shipped very promptly. I have never used a product like this but it really works well for night fishing and walking along the beach after dark. Very comfortable to wear. Hardly know you have it on.Customer Review: Great product
Summary: 5 Stars
What a great light. Doesn't bounce around when you walk, adjustable for light output and angle of beam. Read the reviews of this and other similar headlamps on Amazon and purchased it on strenght of recomendations from others. They were right on.Customer Review: Great product,but...
Summary: 4 Stars
The gear is very comfortable and well built. The red light does not attract many species of flying bugs, this makes it especially helpful in summer night fishing. The only con is that the flap of the red filter is tiny and hard to flip down, I have to repeat trying to get it down.Customer Review: Great product.
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a great light. It has a wide beam that is very nice for hiking or under the hood. Great battery life. I would have given it 5 stars if it had two focus options like the original Tikka that I like and have had for years. The wide beam reaches the same distance of the original, just slightly dimmer.
