Tools and Hardware Reviews of Petzl E98 PM Zipka Plus 2 Headlamp, Mystic GrayCustomer Review: Best headlamp hands down
While I did say best, I did not say the brightest, so if you are looking for a super-expensive, waste of money, power draining, niche headlamp then go elsewhere. This lamp clearly has the smallest footprint by incorporating the headband into a retractable piece of string that reduces size and weight for the most functional, compact design seen. By using what I suspect is some sort of Lumileds or Cree LED, brightness is tolerable and power consumption minimal. Based on the way that humans perceive light, I believe the only way to make these products brighter would be to considerably increase the power consumption and if you feel you need that much light, then stay at home and use the power in your house. Comfortable fit, innovative strap design, with low power consumption for the amount of brightness.

Versatility and Power
Equipped with a ZIP retractable cord system--which allows you to wear the headlamp on the head or wrist, or attached to any other support--the Zipka Plus2 is versatile and powerful. It integrates two light sources for versatility: one white, high-output LED and one red LED. The white LED delivers 50 lumens in maximum mode and lights up to 35 meters. In economic mode, it can achieve a burn-time of 140 hours.
The red LED provides lighting to preserve night vision or to become a flashing light for increased safety, for example if you're changing a tire on the side of the road. The Zipka Plus2 can also be used with lithium batteries to decrease weight or increase performance in cold weather.
Ultra-Compact, User-Friendly Design
25% more compact than Tikka2, the Zipka Plus2 won't weigh you down. It has a single, hinged LED and battery compartment for easier access along with a more user-friendly closure system. For further convenience, the water-resistant housing offers extra protection against the elements.
Easy Operation
As easy to use as it is comfortable, the Zipka Plus2 operates via an electric push-button switch that lets you quickly transition from one mode to another. For added convenience, this switch limits inadvertently turning on the lamp during storage, so you won't waste the batteries.
The Zipka Plus2 comes with three AAA alkaline batteries and is backed by a three-year warranty.
About Petzl: Innovative Designs, Practical Approach
Petzl, a family company, was born out of Fernand Petzl's passion for caving. One of the leading experts of his generation, Fernand spent his life experimenting with vertical progression techniques, and he invented equipment that radically changed the status quo. The Petzl company applied these underground tools and solutions to other vertical environments: first to the mountains--rock climbing and mountaineering--and then to the professional sector, with work and rescue at-height. The Petzl company quickly became known as the foremost innovator in the vertical world and has been associated with all major underground, alpine, and Himalayan adventures since the 1970s.
Today, Petzl is the leader of hands-free lighting. Petzl revolutionized the industry starting with the Zoom, and then the Tikka--the first compact light. The company moved forward to introduce the state-of-the-art e+Lite and Ultra, and it continues to work with outdoor sports enthusiasts and professionals to create innovative, practical, high-quality lighting and climbing products.
