The 8 Best TACTIKKA Headlamps (2023 reviews)

The headlamp is a must have addition for your daily purpose. Headlamps are the best to keep your hands free and points where you look. The red light on this light is very dim and has no projection...it barely casts a red shadow 2 feet in front of you. There are also three levels of white light,the highest level of light is extremely bright and would be perfect for following a blood trail at night. The white light options are nice as well as the red light.

The clear front shroud is gloss shiny and causes for reflection in file use. The red light helps to not spook deer going to your stand. It comes with a flood beam for proximity lighting. Love how comfortable and right this light is...3 brightness settings for white light definitely lets you light up the night.

Best value For money: Petzl Rechargeable Battery

Buy on Amazon

The petzl rechargeable battery is capable of outshining several other products featured in this list in overall features in its price range. These ACCU core batteries will make your lamp brighter than a fresh set of duracells. This is a lightweight, bright headlamp that you can charge anywhere with a solar charger and it is great to use the micro usb which is always available in a gas station if you lose your cord. It features an adjustable elastic headband with emergency whistles. The strap is simple and stays put. The rechargeable battery is a godsend compared to replacing the lithium aa.

The red light option is key for night time campsite activities, or any other scenario with other people around. The least bright is not very bright, but would be fine if looking around a dark tent or darkened house. This thing is super bright and versatile.

Why We Like This:

Head band feels comfortable & rigid
Amazing fit, brightness, adjustment and comfort
Rechargeable is nice, strap too slick

Best Light Weight: Petzl Nice Headlamp

Buy on Amazon

We know from years of feedback from readers, customers and amazon sellers, what most people want in a convenient and appropriate headlamp. The product is exactly that - it's a simple product that hits all the right notes. This TACTIKKA+ is lighter and does not bounce at all when running or jumping around. It comes with its longest burn time at 260 hours, and the tactikka + will have you ready for anything the night brings. It is the 2017 model that has 250 lumens of white light and accepts either three aaa batteries or petzl's core rechargeable battery pack. The connection isn't snug, so the plastic clicks and rattles at the slightest touch, giving the repeated impression of flimsy.

It's the usual petzl quality. The single, large control button is an improvement over the two tiny buttons before. The Black Diamond Spot, while feature rich, does have a learning curve. This is a great hands free flashlight.

Why We Like This:

Very reliable headlamp with red-light option
Very powerful, has red lens feature, & uses aaa batteries
Lot of satisfied buyers
