Basic

Voted 5/5

This is a baic, affordable headlamp. It works fine in most conditions, though it would obviously be lacking in extreme weather, and battery-type may be an issue in extreme cold. I like mine, and when I do use a headlamp at night (rarely), it does the job. Have had the same three Energizer alkaline AAA's in there since late 2005, and it is now Fall 2007.

It's OK....but...

Voted 3/5

Good for around camp or hiking established trails. I would not recommend it for route finding or class 3 in the dark.

Nice Headlamp

Voted 5/5

I have the Plus version of this headlamp and it provides great lighting for standard camping and/or night hiking/climbing. I have yet to use it in any sort of extreme weather, but for standard use it is hard to beat for the price!

Solid and Reliable

No bells and whistles, just a reliable, light headlamp. Using this headlamp for 4 years now and changed the batteries once. I swapped the lens cover for the optional green to preserve night vision. No problems using this lighting in winter, bushwhacking, or tricky terrain. Still my #1 lamp in the pack.

camping rather than hiking

Voted 4/5

I treat my tikka as an emergency lamp and always have it in my backpack while hiking and it is perfect for that - light, tiny and long-lasting. However, it is not the best choice for a planned hike in the dark. Its strong blue light is rather short and lights up the way to max. 3 meters or so.
