The Petzl Tikka series of headlamps are a bit of a classic in the headlamp world. Simple, reliable, long-lasting, and bright.
These lamps don’t have any of the fancy features or the more expensive lamps like the Reactik or Actik series, but if you just want a decent headlamp and don’t want to pay a fortune, these are your next best friend!
There is very little difference between the two, except for the following:
- The Tikka has 200 Lumens max beam (with nearly 200ft reach) while the Tikkina has 150 Lumens (and 180 ft reach)
- The Tikka also has a red light which is handy for around camp or when you don’t want to wake someone (late night reading or bathroom visit)
- The lower max beam means the Tikkina can run a little while longer on the max beam
You can compare the two in detail above using the comparison which shows you most of the features.
And then I cover what those features are, just so you have all the info (so scroll down for that).
The Shared Features Of The Tikka & Tikkina
As I briefly mentioned above, the main differences are as follows:
1. 3 Beam Types
They both have a near beam, mixed beam for medium distance, and far beam (again the Tikka goes that little bit further)
2. Hybrid Battery Options
You get 3 AAA batteries with the lamps and can always use tho
