$60.00

Weight81 g
Trail brandSingle-button simple5-year guarantee
- Up to 250 lumens with three brightness levels on a single button
- Huge runtime of up to 120 hours, ideal for multi-day trips
- Lightweight at just 81 g with an IPX4 water-resistance rating
Why we picked this
This is the pick if you want a head torch from a name hikers trust, without paying for modes you will never touch. The Tikkina keeps it deliberately simple - one button cycles three brightness levels up to 250 lumen…Which one should you buy?
For most people the Energizer Vision HD+ is the best place to start, because at 360 lumens with red and green night vision modes and an IPX4 rating it covers camping, the shed and dog walks for the price of a takeaway, and the batteries are included. Step up to the EverBrite 5-pack if you need a head torch in every drawer, car and backpack rather than one good one, the Petzl Tikkina if you want a trusted trail brand with a simple 3 level button and a huge 120 hour runtime, or the Black Diamond Spot 325 if you want a brighter 325 lumen beam with proper waterproofing and touch dimming. Pick the Nitecore NU25 if you want the lightest rechargeable here, with a high-CRI beam that shows colours naturally and no more AAAs to buy. The standout, though, is the Petzl Actik Core: 450 lumens, a rechargeable CORE battery that also accepts AAAs as backup, and the trail pedigree to match, noting that stock runs low so it is not always available.
