Petzl says

The ACTIK headlamp offers 350 lumen brightness. Multi-beam, it is ideal for dynamic outdoor activities like mountaineering, running, hiking and backpacking. Red lighting preserves night vision and prevents members of a group from blinding each other. The reflective headband provides night visibility. ACTIK comes with 3 standard batteries and is also compatible with the CORE rechargeable battery, thanks to the HYBRID CONCEPT design. Mounting accessories allow the lamp to be attached to any kind of helmet, or to a bicycle.

Our Verdict

Petzl’s Actik 350 Lumens Headlamp is a bright, versatile head torch that not only enables you to see in the dark it helps you be seen with the reflective headband, ideal for night time running. The key feature of the Actik is the choice of beam patterns between flood or mixed to suit your activity. There is also a red lighting mode which preserves your night vision and doesn’t impair other peoples ability to see.

It blends compact design and styling with the flexibility to use batteries (included) or Petzl’s rechargeable Core battery. A lock function prevents the torch being switched on by accident when being knocked about in your rucksack.
