Tools and Hardware Reviews of Petzl E49P TacTikka Plus 4-LED Headlamp, Black
Customer Review: Excellent!
Summary: 5 Stars
This headlamp came just in time for me to do a 4-mile run in the dark. I needed something to provide light so I could see the road and drivers could see me. Getting a headlamp seemed like a really good option (carrying a flashlight while running is a pain), and I was very curious about the TacTikka Plus after reading all the rave reviews.
I was really concerned, though about the comfort. I usually get headaches from headbands or hats--but not this. It was very ergonomic and stayed on my head without bouncing off. It also provided me with amazing visibility which made me feel very safe on my run. My husband works on electrical equipment and is now very interested in obtaining more of these lamps for his work.

works great and exactly as described. Very useful for camping and recreational activities. Also just handy to have for car repairs if u have something go wrong at a late hour. I use it while kayaking, camping and hiking. Great bang for buck. Put my friends headlamp to shame while hiking. Almost didnt even need his on, this one took the cake. I have another flashlight that i use for spotting things that are alot further away. So i suggest getting a mate for this, like i do.
my only negative is that the flap is very small and hard to put down and up with big fingers, but you get used to it quickly. Red light is perfect for looking for something in your tent at night without blinding someone.
good buy

I took this product with me when I joined Peace Corps and went travelling. It came in helpful multiple times when I was camping and had to go down to the pit toilet and you don't want to have a hand occupied.
The multiple brightness settings and red flip down were both extremely helpful and it was extremely good with batteries. Over two years of use I didn't need to replace the batteries, although I carried extras. Part of that was using the lowest setting, which still would give plenty of light to see ahead of you on dark trails. It was the right size to toss in the pack on the way out and was almost always one of the first things I would make sure to get out when it would get dark.
Customer Review: Amazing light
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this light about 4 months ago because I had some work to do in my ceiling. I must say it has outperformed my expectations, it is very sturdy, the strap is comfortable, it is light (weight) and the lights are super bright. It gives me more than enough light to do what I have to do in the ceiling, even when the light setting is the lowest, but when I amp up I can see clearly far in the distance. When I bought it I also had fishing in mind, but unfortunately I have not gotten out to fish since I've had it. I cannot comment on whether the red flap helps etc. with the fish. But overall I'd say I am very pleased with my purchase an I would recommend this product highly.Customer Review: Petzl Headlamp
Summary: 5 Stars
This Petzl headlamp has worked well for me for many years. I was in the Army as an Infantryman and every infantryman in my unit was issued this headlamp. I have took this headlamp all across the country through numerous training events from 4 days to over 30 days. I also took this headlamp on deployment to Iraq for 15 months. The "white" light on this unit is well enough in dark situations for the individual user and not too blinding. The "red" light flip down or up tab works well and still gives off enough light to see up close and not give off a bright glow of "white" light for people who are in a light discipline enviroment. The battery life is also efficient.
