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."

"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!"
