Head torches are an invaluable tool; being able to go
“hands free” whilst maintaining a stable light source
means that you can go about your tasks after dark
just as easily as in daylight
PETZL
Whilst there are many brands available on the market
one has always stood out, and that is Petzl. The
TACTIKKA +RGB is a compact head torch ideal for
both recreational and professional users, offering a
choice of white or red/green/blue lighting to preserve
night vision. It’s designed for activities where stealth is
a key factor.
The TACTIKKA +RGB head torch offers versatile
lighting; proximity or focused lighting for movement,
BOOST mode for temporary access to maximum
brightness (160 lumens) and three lighting modes
(red, green or blue). It also features CONSTANT
LIGHTING technology to ensure constant brightness
over time, and a mixed beam (wide, focused or red).
This is how it is described on their website:
• CONSTANT LIGHTING: brightness does not
decrease gradually as the batteries are drained
• Several lighting modes suitable for different
situations, from proximity lighting to rapid
movement
• BOOST mode for temporary access to maximum
brightness
• Red light combining visual comfort and stealth,
red strobe light
• Automatically switches to reserve mode when
batteries are running low and then to red
lighting when the batteries are nearly empty
• Compatible with Ni-MH or lithium batteries for
greater burn time
Easy to use:
• push-button is easy to use, even with gloves
• washable headband, designed for dynamic
activities (secure and absorbent)
Specifications
• Weight: 85g
• Technology: CONSTANT LIGHTING
• Beam pattern: mixed
• Energy: 3 AAA/LR03 batteries (included)
• Battery compatibility: rechargeable Ni-MH and
lithium
• Certification(s): CE
• Watertightness: IP X4 (weather resistant)
At only 88g with the batteries fitted, and with
a comfortable, broad headband, the TACTIKKA
+RGB can be worn for extended periods of time; the
headband also offers sufficient adjustment for it to
be worn with most helmets. The torch itself can be
angled downwards to bring the beam into exactly the
position you need it to be, and angling downwards
also gives easy access to the battery compartment.
The broad, well-sized function control button,
which allows you to easily cycle between lighting
modes, is big enough to use even with gloves
on.Whilst the TACTIKKA +RGB is not the smallest
head torch on the market it’s easily stowable, and
durable enough to put up with some serious abuse.
