Yes, it's a bit pricier than other basic headlamps, but it's well worth it. The many settings offer the right amount of light for the optimal battery performance. My personal favorite is the sliding plastic which changes the headlamp from a flood to a focused beam. I definitely recommend this for your gear set!

Voted 5/5

I've had other Petzl Tikka models before and always thought them great for the price. This one is pricier than most of their models, but well worth it. It is compact like other Tikka models but has 3 lighting levels plus the boost mode which gives 50% more light than maximum level for 20 seconds. I like the tiltable body feature to direct light where needed. Also has a battery indicator which warns when the batteries are drained 70% and then 90%.

In short, it's hard to beat the combination of versatility and size.

Better battery life management with the different settings. Compact and reasonable weight given the features.
