PETZL Unisex -Adult's Stirnlampe Actik Core Schwarz Lamp, Black, Onesize

Product Information

Reduced environmental impact: the entire lifespan of a CORE rechargeable battery is equivalent to that of 900 standard batteries Compatible with the HELMET ADAPT and BIKE ADAPT 2 mounts, so you can attach the lamp to a variety of helmet types or a bicycle (1) We begin with the TIKKINA, which is the lowest in price and the simplest model in terms of features. The TIKKINA has a uniform, wide beam pattern with three brightness levels which you cycle through by pressing the one and only button on the top of the lamp. That’s really it in terms of function, but let’s not forget the common features of all the lamps, and the TIKKINA has the same rugged casing, adjustability and capacity to be used with helmet and bike mounts of its more powerful counterparts.

Both the Actik and Actik Core keep things simple by only providing you with only those functions you really need: The beam itself is worth focussing on for a moment. Much though lumens are useful in establishing how bright a torch is, it is just as critical to know how the headtorch uses that light. The SWIFT RL balances the requirements of the climber, runner, skiier and mountaineer, with a good blend of flooding in the foreground and a strong, focussed beam giving you the distance too. As we've already mentioned, you can power it with either three AAA batteries or the included CORE rechargeable battery. The battery compartment sits behind the lamp and is simple to open with your fingers when it's time to recharge but secure enough that it won't pop open unnecessarily. While innovations like the NAO adaptive lighting headtorch and the futuristic-looking IKO have grabbed the headlines in recent years, it’s at the more affordable end of the Petzl headtorch range that the French brand reaches its biggest audience. The Tikka, Tikkina and Actik models provide no-nonsense lighting for your average hiker, climber runner and mountaineer – and they do it very well – and for autumn 2022 this collection of models has been redesigned and updated.

We will keep customer information safe and secure and will not distribute or sell this information to a third party. Also, the battery itself has a built-in USB charging port. So, you just have to open the battery compartment and plug it in while it’s in the headlamp. Very little fuss. The Actik Core comes with the CORE rechargeable battery and also works with three standard batteries, thanks to its HYBRID CONCEPT design. Right then you number-lovers: The ACTIK will burn for 100 hours at its lowest level (7 lumens) with both Core and AAA batteries. At standard power, it’ll go for 10 hours with AAA’s and 7 with a Core. At maximum output, you can expect a burn time of two hours with both battery types. HYBRID CONCEPT design: ACTIK® comes with three AAA/LR03 batteries and is also compatible with the CORE rechargeable battery (not included); it automatically detects the energy source and adjusts lighting performance

Ok, let’s talk about lighting. Undeniably, one of the absolute essentials for every adventurer’s outdoor arsenal is a decent headtorch. In line with current health and safety guidelines, we reserve the right to refuse any items that are (for whatever reason) not returned to us in a clean and hygienic condition. The SWIFT battery takes six hours to charge, which is a reasonable amount of time - significant enough to require some planning if you are heading out. Clearly this is fine if you put it on to charge before heading to work, but less fine if you forget and hope to charge it after. It would be great if this time was lower, but perhaps it's no surprise.Aesthetically, all three models are very similar. They’re rugged and have a compact, streamlined casing. They’re grippy, easy to adjust, have soft, comfortable headbands with reflective elements and they each fit very well over hoods and helmets. Compatible with mounting accessories (not included) that allow the lamp to be attached to a helmet or bicycle The Actik Core has 450 Lumens (vs 350 on the Actik) which gives you an extra 5 meters (about 15 feet) beam when you are using it on maximum. Petzl are a market-leader in lighting, and the TIKKA is the model that launched it all as the brand’s first LED headlamp some 20 years ago. The TIKKINA is arguably the TIKKA’s slightly simpler spin-off, with the ACTIK being the most feature-heavy and powerful of the trio. All three designs had a revamp in late 2022, with updates to their appearance and functions. The TIKKA, TIKKINA and ACTIK do share some common features, but they also have some key differences, and price tags to reflect those.
