Our take
On this page
Our verdict
The TIKKA suits walking better than running. Its strength is the burn-time table: Petzl publishes 100 lumens reaching 45 m for twelve hours on three AAA batteries, then a reserve mode rather than sudden darkness. Its beam is wide and even, which is what you want at walking pace, and AAA batteries are easy to carry as spares on a long winter walk. It also has red light, a lock, IPX4 weather resistance and a battery indicator.
At 94 g it is heavier than an ultralight rechargeable, and its 70 m maximum distance is shorter, so fast trail runners may want something lighter with more throw. The variant trap: Petzl also sells the TIKKA CORE, a rechargeable version with different figures, and colour variants; this link is the 350-lumen TIKKA in blue.
Batteries and upgrades
Petzl lists alkaline, lithium and Ni-MH rechargeable AAA batteries as compatible. If you later want USB charging, the TIKKA also accepts Petzl's CORE rechargeable battery, which Petzl says raises maximum output to 450 lumens.
FAQ
Are batteries included?
Yes. Petzl says the TIKKA comes with three AAA/LR03 batteries.
Can I use it on the road?
For seeing, yes, but Petzl says its lamps are not certified for road use. Wear reflective kit to be seen.
