| Petzl TIKKA PLUS² Headlamp |
 |
Headlamp with 1 high-output LED, 1 red LED and five lighting modes (three continuous and two strobe).
The TIKKA PLUS² headlamp integrates two light sources for versatility: one white, high-output LED and one red LED. The white LED delivers 50 lumens in maximum mode and lights up to 35m. In economic mode, it can reach a burn-time of 140hrs. The red LED provides spare lighting to preserve night vision or to become a strobe light for increased safety, for example in an urban environment, etc.
The TIKKA PLUS² can be used with lithium batteries to decrease weight or increase performance in cold weather.
