ACTIK CORE

I now own two of these. I bought one about two years ago and have used it on numerous trips as well as around the house. Lightweight, easy to use, adjustable, and multiple light settings. The Core battery has worked perfectly for me. Recharges fully in a few hours and battery life is pretty good. As long as I am not using the highest brightness (there are 3 brightness levels), I can go months before recharging, using it a few nights a week. However, at the highest brightness, you will drain the battery after about an hour of usage. But I find that level 2 brightness is perfect for nearly every scenario. Nice to be able to put AAA batteries in if needed. But also rechargeable in the field, too. Took this on our 16 day Grand Canyon trip and hadn't charged it before hand. But we took a small solar charger with us and it easily charged the Core over the course of a few hours. Only downside is that it is not actually waterproof. Haven't had any issues yet, but would give me more peace of mind if it were waterproof.

I find this to be indispensable. It is comfortable to wear, does't have superfluous straps, wires, compartments. Just a simple headlamp with easily accessible and rechargeable battery with awesome life. Although I haven't tried it, the ability to use AAA batteries helps in a pinch. The battery life has been great. The max brightness has come in handy multiple times for a nighttime flag ceremony, scoping and setting up a camping area a night, or as a theatre light for skits during a campfire program. I find the buttons easy to use to adjust brightness or mode. The strap holds its setting well. The entire light is rather light, but it has been durable for me (I generally care for my equipment well since I need to depend on it).

Petzl is by far my favorite headlamp manufacturer and I have owned a few other brands including nite ize, and princeton tec. Their longevity is great, I have some that are over 10 years old (not that bright by todays standards though) and still running strong. The new core lights are fantastic, besides having 2 options for batteries, The rechargeable CORE and AAAs, they are vey bright, have multiple modes including red, and are easy to operate. i also find the light such as this with no rear battery pack and are very lightweight to ge very comfortable for long use. i have 3 of these and a Tacktikka CORE in random spots around my house for night use as well as power outages (in addition to my 3 or 4 ‘vintage’ Petzls).

I run in the dark with my dog on a waist leash, and this headlamp has made a huge difference in my security. The brightness lights up the whole area, where I am running, including my peripheral vision, so I am able to see my dog next to me in the dark. I also run on some trails in the dark and can pick out low areas and rocks using this lamp. It is easy to use and does not bounce on your head while running. My only complaint is that the battery doesn’t last long (1.5 hours) when it is on the brightest setting so I have to charge it frequently. Overall, it was a good purchase for me.

I like to run, and I like to run before work. Well, at 5:00am it's pretty darn dark and I like to see where I'm going. This like is doing a great job keeping the road in front of my well lit. 450 lumens is the perfect amount of light for running on dark roads. I like that the light can rotate several degrees. It says put on the setting that I pick and I can point it out so I can see in the distance, or point it down so I can get a bright light directly in front of me. It's comfortable on my head and has little to no bounce while running. It's easy to select the 3 settings of brightness. I also like that it includes a red light, as I do some nighttime photography and having a red light is a necessity to preserve my night sight. What I am finding is that the brightest setting is the only one worth using while running. There are 3 levels of white light, and the first 2 are not bright enough to run with. However, they are good enough for using around the house in the dark so they are not a compete waste. But, using the headlamp on the brightest setting really sucks the battery. I am finding I can get about 2 hours on a full charge, then the light switches down to the next lower light setting. It's nice that it doesn't completely shut off, as I've been in the middle of a run and rather than having no light, it just power down one setting and keeps running for about 30 more minutes. I just need to remember to charge it more often so I always have a full charge before heading out. In an emergency it can take 3 AAA batteries instead of the lithium battery and I love this feature. Also once the battery eventually wears down I can just buy a replacement battery instead of a whole new headlamp. Overall I'm really happy with this headlamp and would recommend it.

Great light, very bright with ability to adjust and long lasting battery. I use it often & 3 years later it shows no sign of age.

This is my third light from Petzl. I'm very pleased with the performance The third power level is pretty impressive for distance and brightness. Battery life is also impressive. One of my three light is not rechargeable and this product is my go to.

Have been using this head lamp for a number of years. Have Huskys and a large dog yard and use this lamp when working with the dogs or in the dog yard at dark. Great for Skijoring at night with one dog on a 12 foot lead. Not bright enough for sledding with a team as the lead dog tends to be just beyond the high beam and lamp burns out quickly when burnt on high continuously. Lamp has been weather proof and has survived being dropped many, many times.

山をやる方からおすすめされての購入ですが、本当に明るいですね。 今までこの商品よりルーメンの高い物も購入しましたが、真ん中だけが四角や丸で明るいパターンでした。 PETZLさんは全体が今までのヘッデンより明るい！ 単3電池でも、専用充電池でも使えるのもポイントが高いです。 特に山をやる方はぜひ。軽くてオモチャとの様ですが、軽さは正義です。

What else can I say. This is probably the 3rd one I've owned. The only way they could be improved is if it wasn't so difficult to open it to replace the batteries. Other than that they fit nice and very bright for the price. THEY ALSO LAST A LONG TIME

Gibt nicht viel zu meckern. Brauchte nur Ersatz da ich sie verloren hatte. Einfach vielseitig und durchdacht! Benutze meist nur das rote Licht und dann hält sie ewig. Für mich ist die Lichtleistung insgesamt ausreichend. Auch bei Regen bisher kein ausfall. Einzig der Gummi am Knopf war nach Jahren nicht mehr das wahre. Scheint die Schwachstelle im Lebenszyklus zu sein. Aber vllt kriegt man Ersatz. In meinen Augen ist diese Headlight jeden Cent wert. Ich kaufe nichts anderes mehr als Petzl! Akku Lebensdauer und Leistung Top -einfach zu laden -sofortiger Ersatz als in Garantiezeit defekt -Und zum leerkriegen von AAA Batterien perfekt Ich benutze 2 Akkus im Wechsel und Zuhause die fast leeren AAA Batterien. Versuche die Akkus nie ganz voll oder leer zu haben. Daher ist mir noch kein Leistungsverlust aufgefallen und dieser kaum messbar.

Estaba buscando una solución para poder leer de noche sin molestar a mi pareja, que me sirviese para usar en toda la casa (salón, dormitorio). Había probado lámparas de estas que se fijan al libro, pero las que yo he probado no son muy cómodas y suelen iluminar bastante mal la página. Se me ocurrió que quizá con una lámpara frontal de este tipo podría cubrir mis necesidades. Después de buscar un poco en Google encontré un par de comentarios de gente que las usaba exactamente para esto, tanto de acampada como en casa, así que me decidí a probar. La experiencia ha sido muy buena en mi caso. · La lámpara es ligera y cómoda. No cansa llevarla mucho rato. · La cinta es suave y tiene un buen ajuste · El sistema de baterías recargables es sencillo y dura bastante (se pueden usar pilas AAA tb) · La luz, en el modo intermedio es más que suficiente para leer · Se puede ajustar el ángulo del foco ligeramente · La fabricación y los materiales son de buena calidad En resumen muy bien, como punto negativo solamente diría que es un poquito cara, pero es una marca de calidad reconocida y espero que me dure mucho tiempo.

Cheap plastic build. We hope Main team from petzl take note of this. It happens when they outsource the production
