Jump to: Our Verdict / Features / Specifications

For a head torch able to work well for more intense activities the IKO Core is definitely at the top of the pile. Low weight, great fit, amazing output and great all round performance.

Petzl says

The rechargeable IKO CORE headlamp combines multiple technologies to offer 500 lumens at only 79 g. Featuring an AIRFIT headband, an ultra-thin lamp body and an energy source worn in the rear, the headlamp is balanced and comfortable enough to be imperceptible. The multiple LEDs are ideally distributed to provide uniform lighting, for optimal visual comfort. Thanks to its HYBRID CONCEPT design, IKO CORE comes with the CORE rechargeable battery and is also compatible with three AAA/LR03 batteries (not included). It is versatile: can also be worn around the neck, or transformed into a lantern, using the storage pouch. It can be flattened to reduce bulk, making it practical for all outdoor activities.

Our Verdict

Petzl’s IKO Core Headlamp is an interesting looking head torch which may put some people off but this is really where it performs much better then others. The combination of plastic and elasticated straps around it allow for a really good fit which keeps the light in place for anything from trail running to hiking. It does mean that it doesn’t pack down as small as you might like for storage but the fit makes up for this with ease. It weighs in at just 78g and has a maximum output of 500 lumens which is normally a lot more than you need for even the most technical trails at night.

The multiple LED design makes for a great beam of light and there are enough settings to alter the output and style of beam to suit a range of activities. It comes with a rechargeable battery that is lightweight and fast to recharge with a USB connection. This is the most comfortable and versatile head torch I’ve ever used and it excels in activities where you are moving a lot, such as trail running.

Features

Ergonomic and comfortable, thanks to the AIRFIT headband (Petzl patent):
– innovative, streamlined design, with semi-rigid headband and ultra-thin lamp body. The battery pack is in the rear, to distribute the weight of the headlamp over the entire head, making it balanced and comfortable enough to be almost imperceptible
– water-repellent headband, resists sweat and rain. The thin headband considerably reduces the area of contact and improves air circulation during dynamic activities
– quick and easy rear adjustment
Optimal visual comfort:
– lightweight and powerful: 500 lumens at 79 g
– multiple LEDs provide homogeneous light distribution
– two beam types (flood or mixed) and many white brightness levels, to meet different user requirements: proximity lighting, movement and distance vision
– three lighting levels, easily and quickly accessible with a single button
Rechargeable:
– CORE battery charges via micro USB port
– HYBRID CONCEPT design: IKO CORE comes with the CORE rechargeable battery and also works with three standard batteries. The lamp detects the energy source and adjusts lighting performance (IKO CORE with CORE rechargeable battery= 500 lumens, IKO CORE with standard batteries = 350 lumens)
Versatile and easy to use:
– can be mounted in various ways, depending on use: worn on the head or around the neck, placed on a table, attached to a tent pole or tree…
– storage pouch allows it to be transformed into a lantern
– reflective components on rear make the user visible at night
– battery charge indicator when lamp is turned on or off, for checking remaining battery life
– two LOCK functions to avoid accidentally turning it on
– can be flattened in its minimal pouch to reduce bulk
– compatible with all Petzl helmets
