PETZL - ACTIK Headlamp, 300 Lumens, Active Lighting

The vendor was Gear Express in Utah. My package was promptly delivered by US Mail.I am very pleased with this night-light. I am a horseman and a geologist, so often have to work in the evenings after sunset. There were several dozen night lights posted on Amazon, and so I carefully studied the features of each. Am very pleased with this model, and recommend it to others.This headlamp has 300 lumens at the maximum, but can easily switch to lower lighting. It also has a dim red light that will not disturb a horse's eyes or another human. This headlamp uses three AAA batteries, but there is another option to purchase a rechargeable battery pack that cleverly fits into the same headlamp. This is a recommended model.

I was trying to decide what headlamp brand to buy and I went for Petzl. I must say I love it. It is super light weight and so comfortable that sometimes I even forgot I was wearing it. It was so useful that I had to borrow it for my friends because they didn’t like theirs or because they ran out of battery haha.If you camping, this is the one to buy, I highly recommend it.

Works great and the battery lasts long! Bright! What I like about this is that there is no silly battery pack with wires and unnecessary stuff. Simple, small battery compartment behind the LED.

Great headlamp. As a biologist who goes on long expeditions to find nocturnal micro-arthropods in tropical rainforest, I need an excellent and reliable source of light to be able to see these shy and elusive creatures, while being able to switch from short range to long range vision and spot my surroundings at 100+ meters while navigating the forest at night. I have used a whole ton of headlamps, and I was very happy with the Princeton Tec Apex, but its heavy. Now I am happier with this Petzl Actik, because it gives me the same (or more?) power at a fraction of the weight! (that also means one fewer strap on my head). The batteries in this one also last longer, and since they are AAA, the overall weight of batteries for a 30 day trip goes also down, which is great when you are backpacking.Bike Tip: Recently I also started using it on my helmet when I go for nocturnal bike rides, it works both ways, as a white front light, or as a tail light if I put it on the back of the helmet and in the red blinking mode.Pros:-Lightweight-Pocketable-Great battery life-Waterproof tested in a long expedition to the Amazon rainforest-Great light, really bright-Good red light, strong enough-Easy to replace batteriesCon:The elastic strap stretches a lot after getting wet with rain/sweat. It looks very bad, and it doesn't seem like Petzl sells a replacement, and if so, it looks like it will be really hard to change it. That's the reason I am taking one star.

I did the comparison of all headlamps in it’s class and I am so glad I made this choice. It works flawlessly and is extremely bright; in fact, I have never had to use the brightest setting. Definitely recommend.

Man I love Petzl. This this is super bright, comfortable and I love the red & low light settings. My wife and I used them in Olympic National Park and they put our old headlamps to shame. If you are on the fence, just get one - you won't be dissapointed. Talk about quality.

I've gotten Petzl headlamps before, and I've always been relatively happy with them. When my last one would no longer hold a charge on the batteries for longer than a n hour or two, I did not hesitate to get a new Petzl. This one has a brighter light (300 lumens versus my previous 250), but otherwise, I'm not convinced it was worth going with the Petzl name here- overall, I'm pretty disappointed. For one thing, the whole casing feels pretty cheap and not of great quality. The button at the top is difficult to push and it's really hard to remember how many pushes/how long you need to push to get the lighting you want (it cycles through from dim to bright, but to get red light you need to hold it for longer). And, for the first time, this headlamp hurts my face to wear. Overall, I don't really feel like I can recommend it, I'm pretty disappointed, and might consider going with a different brand in the future.Pros:Has a red light (this is important to me as I work with animals)300 lumen bulb is certainly a pretty solid light3 brightness levels is convenient and also helps save batteryBattery life is decentOnly uses 3 AAA batteries at a timeCons:Uncomfortable to wearVariable lighting conditions (particularly red light and strobe) are difficult to get toRelatively expensiveMy husband purchased a Black Diamond headlamp for around the same price, it had a brighter light bulb (400 lumens), has a blue and a green light option (not sure what you'd use it for, but it's there), seemed more comfortable, and was slightly cheaper.

No complaints, works great, fits well, very BRIGHT. Couldn't be happier with this product and I'm pretty darned hard to please.

Ich habe lange nach einer Stirnlampe für das Laufen im Wald gesucht, da ich in der Regel abends unterwegs bin und es im Herbst und Winter einfach zu dunkel im Wald ist, aber gerade auch auf unseren hubbeligen Bürgersteigen sieht man ohne Lampe einfach zu wenig.Dabei wollte ich gerade _keine_ Lampe haben, bei der ich das Gefühl habe, als liefe ich mit einem Flutlicht auf dem Kopf herum. Schließlich will ich entgegenkommende Gassigänger und Hunde oder irgendwelches Wild ja nicht blenden.Die Leuchtkraft er Petz Actik ist zum Laufen mehr als ausreichend. Die Stirnlampe hat drei Stufen:1. Stufe: Als "Notlicht" bzw. für den Nahbereich, wenn man sehen will, was man mit den Händen macht, ausreichend. Zum Laufen zu wenig.2. Stufe: Für mich zum Laufen perfekt. Selbst im dunkelsten Wald hat man ein paar Meter vor sich einen gut ausgeleuchteten Lichtfleck. Dadurch das zugeschaltete Seitenlicht wird man nicht "lichtblind", d.h man sieht durmherum auch noch ein bisschen und nicht nur schwarz.3. Stufe: Wer es heller mag oder schneller, vielleicht mit dem Rad unterwegs ist, der wird mit der dritten Stufe glücklich werden, die ein gutes Stück heller ist als Stufe 2.Beim roten Licht gibt es nur eine Helligkeitsstufe und Blinken, die von der Helligkeit eher mit der Stufe 1 des weißen Lichts vergleichbar ist. Das dürfte zur Orientierung reichen, wenn man seinen Zeltnachbarn nicht wecken möchte.Die Strinlampe sitzt gut und angehm am Kopf. Das Band läßt sich gut einstellen, die Lampe drückt nicht, auch nicht an der Stirn, und sie sitzt fest genug, so dass sich nicht verrutscht. Im Winter trage ich hin und wieder eine Mütze über der Lampe, so dass diese vorne unter der Mütze herausschaut. Das klappt auch prima. Das Gewicht der Lampe merkt man beim Tragen gar nicht.Die Neigung der Lampe läßt sich gut einstellen. Das Raster ist gut abgestimmt, so dass man die Neigung nicht versehentlich verstellt, sie aber dennoch mit einer Hand problemlos verstellen kann. Insgesamt macht das Gehäuse einen wertigen und solider Eindruck.Die mitgelieferten Batterien haben ca. 4 Monate / ca. 25 Stunden gehalten, danach habe ich Sie durch Akkus ersetzt. Ich nutze fast ausschließlich Stufe 2.Gelegentlichen Regen hat die Lampe unbeschadet überstanden. Das Gehäuse ist auch so gut und dicht gearbeitet, dass eigentlich kein Wasser eindringen sollte. Ich habe sie aber noch nicht bei einem richtigen Wolkenbruch getestet.Den Preis halte ich für angemessen und völlig gerechtfertigt.Insgesamt kann ich die Stirnlampe ruhigen Gewissens jedem Läufer empfehlen.

La marca es de estupenda calidad :)

Not a lot of use yet but it looks great, the features all work great. It seems to be well made and is comfortable to wear. I'd recommend it to anyone.

I've been around LED lights for years and normally purchase quite expensive top end lights for mountain biking.Always skeptical of lumen output claims and didn't have high hopes for this.The output is amazing, good clear and crisp light, tilting the light is easy and it's comfortable to wear. Very impressive for the money.I'll be buying the rechargeable battery too, makes sense given the cost of non rechargeable batteries.

Torcia fantastica, acquistata per il classico campo scout. Possiede 3 intensità luminose diverse, perfette per gli spostamenti al buio; luce rossa molto luminosa, utile nel caso in cui si necessiti di illuminazione senza dover infastidire altre persone.Resistenza ottima all'acqua: ho potuto testarla dovendo sistemare alcune cose durante un forte temporale estivo e sono rimasto sbalordito dall'impermeabilità e dalla potenza del fascio di luce, che nonostante la fitta pioggia illuminava a giorno tutto intorno a me.Consiglio vivamente, rapporto qualità - prezzo insuperabile!
