From Campmor:

From Backcountry.com:
"The Petzl TacTikka Plus is a tactical version of the popular Tikka Plus Headlamp. It has all of the great features including 4 LEDs instead of 3, a push on/off button instead of a slider switch, a tiltable housing, and 3 brightness settings with strobe function. These features have been combined with a red lens that easily flips down over the LED's for night vision. It is also water-resistant for all-weather use. The 150-hour burn time and durability of the LED makes the TacTikka Plus reliable. It doesn't throw out huge candlepower (33ft or 10m), making it ideal for activities requiring close-up lighting like trail hiking, setting up camp, and reading. The TacTikka Plus runs on 3 AAA batteries (included), and at 2.5 ounces, weighs next to nothing in your pack."

From Altrec Outdoors:
"When having light is not an option, the Petzl Tactikka Plus Headlamp makes it easy in a compact and lightweight design. Four long burning LED's with three lighting levels (and strobe) adjust to help conserve battery life with just the needed amount of illumination. A red flip filter option emits a soft beam in order to maintain clear night vision. Easy to switch from white to red light, the beam can be aimed easily on its swivel mount. Water resistant, this all-weather light rests comfortably with an adjustable elastic headband."

"I have had 4 other headlamps in the past. I feel this one is the best. Bright flood light beam shines light on all my close up activities and some of my farther stuff as well. I found that it has a really strong diffused beam even about 75-90 feet away."

"Petzl is the name I think about when it comes to headlamps. I researched online and found that this model has the right balance of functions and price. The tactical red filter is nice for reading maps and manuals at night where low level light is required. The 3 levels of brightness is a plus, coupled with the tilt adjustment-you just can't beat it!"
