We think the standard Actik is the one to get as it has the same features and enough light for less money. Compact and lightweight, it slides easily into your pocket or a backpack, so you can take it with you anywhere. For campsite use it is perfectly fine as there is generally ambient lighting provided close to the pitches. In fact, it's only outshone and out-powered by larger and more complex 'professional' headtorch models.

Petzl Swift RL head torch review: a bewilderingly bright head Petzl Swift RL head torch review: a bewilderingly bright head

The double light beam technology makes the headlight ideal for running in low light and dark conditions too. However it we cannot truthfully say that the most expensive head torch was 20x better than the cheapest. We provide hints and tips about camping as well as reviews of the gear we’ve found useful over the years.HYBRID CONCEPT design: TIKKINA® comes with 3 standard batteries and is also compatible with the CORE rechargeable battery. The rating allows it to continue functioning even when submerged up to a meter deep in water for up to 30 minutes. The only remaining challenge is going entirely rechargeable, with no opportunity to switch to standard Duracells, but after a few weeks with the Petzl Swift RL headtorch we are convinced. The battery run time is 20 hours of continuous use, and in short bursts of a few hours per day, it will last many days.

We charged up each head torch fully then switched them onto their brightest settings to time how long they lasted before they either ran out of battery entirely, or had significantly reduced brightness. The headlamp easily copes with rapid head movements due to its stable design using a single band around the head. Petzl's Core Rechargeable Battery is an excellent concept as is allows you to reap the benefits of an efficient rechargeable battery while being able to swap between this or normal batteries in your Petzl head torch.

WARNING: This lamp is not certified for road use: when used in areas subject to traffic regulations, Petzl lights are no substitute for required standardized lights. We liked the reactive setting, which does indeed conserve battery power, but it's easy to see how it could be annoying for some applications.
