Petzl Tikka Headlamp

The Petzl Tikka is a budget-oriented headlamp for hiking and mountaineering, putting out up to 350 lumens with a beam distance of 70 m and a burn time of 110 hours, run on 3 AAA batteries rather than a built-in rechargeable cell. Red light mode preserves night vision at camp or in a shared tent, and a lock mode stops it from switching on accidentally inside a pack. At 94 g it's light enough for everyday hiking use, and the headband detaches from the lamp housing so it can be washed after sweaty use. Because it takes disposable AAA batteries rather than USB charging, it's a practical backup or budget choice for trips where swapping in fresh batteries is easier than finding a power source — though anyone wanting to avoid battery waste on frequent trips may prefer a rechargeable model.
