User Review: Petzl Tikka Plus

Petzl Tikka Plus
Above: The current Tikka Plus, which may differ slightly from the version reviewed.

Rating: rated 4 of 5 stars
Price Paid: CDN$35

Very nice lantern, good intensity, like the three levels, helps save power. Doesn't light very far, though...I used it at night in the forest once, returning from a hike, and wished it had a longer reach. But for all-around camping or reading it is great!

Someone mentioned the problem of it opening and the battery falling. I had this problem too, but I've figured out that it's actually a "human error". The bottom part has some inserts that can be left outisde the insertion holes, but it will still "close". It will then come open again at the least impact. If you make sure that the inserts are into their proper places, however, the Tikka closes like a clamshell, being actually hard to open it again.
