Here's what other sites are saying:

From Campmor:
"The Tikkina is a highly economical headlamp utilizing LED technology. 2 LEDs operate on three AAA batteries (included), which cost approximately $0.02/hour to run. Standard AAA batteries are readily available worldwide, and offer a longer burn time and extended beam brightness over other exotic battery types. The impact resistant LEDs will last a lifetime and offer amazing proximity lighting of up to 39 feet. Add to this, 120 hours of burn time, a tilting lamp body to direct light where you need it, and an adjustable elastic headband for comfort and stability, and the Tikkina is the best value in its class. Total weight including batteries: 2.8oz."

From Backcountry.com:
"With a 13-meter range and a 150-hour battery life, the Petzl Tikkina Headlamp is perfect for a beginning backpacker. This two LED light is very useful for setting up your tent in the dark or working under the kitchen sink. A tiltable head on the Tikkina allows you to direct the light where you need it the most."

"Two bright blue LED's and weather resistance makes this headlamp a perfect choice for the budget minded. The head band is soft and very comfortable. It takes 3 AAA batteries in the case on the front. No wires leading to the back like some have. Last time I used the Tikkina, it was pitch black darkness in the Clifty Wilderness in Kentucky and we hiked for 1."
