Petzl E49P TacTikka Plus 4-LED Headlamp, Black Review
Petzl E49P TacTikka Plus 4-LED Headlamp, Black Feature
- LED headlamp with adjustable headband
- Designed for early morning fishing, but also suitable for hiking, climbing, camping
- Three lighting levels and pull-down red filter
- Includes 3 AAA batteries
- 3-year guarantee
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
