Actik Core 450 Lumens Headlamp Petzl Online

Petzl says

The rechargeable ACTIK CORE headlamp offers 450 lumens of power, which, along with its multi-beam design, makes it ideal for dynamic outdoor activities like mountaineering, running, hiking and backpacking. Red lighting preserves night vision and prevents members of a group from blinding each other. The reflective headband provides night visibility. ACTIK CORE comes with the CORE rechargeable battery and is also compatible with three AAA/LR03 batteries (not included), thanks to the HYBRID CONCEPT design. Mounting accessories allow the lamp to be attached to any kind of helmet, or to a bicycle.

Our Verdict

Petzl’s Actik Core 450 Lumens Headlamp is a super bright, versatile head torch that not only enables you to see in the dark it helps you be seen with the reflective headband, ideal for night time running. The key feature of the Actik is the choice of beam patterns between flood or mixed to suit your activity. There is also a red lighting mode which preserves your night vision and doesn’t impair other peoples ability to see.

Petzl’s rechargeable Core battery is included in the package. You can still use normal batteries so you could carry these as spare energy reserve when on longer trips. A lock function prevents the torch being switched on by accident when being knocked about in your rucksack.
