Despite its cantankerous temperament (which often led to Dad sharing his colorful vocabulary with the moon and stars) and knowing there was the slim possibility of camp-consuming fireball, the comforting hiss of a pump-primed Coleman is still one of my favorite lullabies from childhood. It’s ready to go with you on all your nighttime outdoor adventures, whether you’re hiking, moving around camp, or traveling. Gathering wood, baiting a hook, or pitching a tent required either a partner, a convenient tree, incredible finger strength and dexterity, or a big mouth. All three save my night vision, but red and green also provide a stealthy approach to treestands, blinds, and creek banks while the blue light makes map lines and writing easier to read in the dark when I’m not sure about where I am.

Over the past year, I’ve used the PETZL TACTIKKA+RGB headlamp extensively and it has illuminated my nighttime outdoor activities with ease, convenience, and comfort. Its phosphorescent reflector makes it easy to find in the dark and red lighting keeps you from blinding those around you. Petzlhave designed the Tactikka with practicality in mind; the wide, comfortable and easily adjusted headband is fully washable and the Tactikka is easy to use with gloves on.This versatile and reliable headlampoffers a selection of beams to choose from all with their own intended use. The better your problem and question is described, the easier it is for other Petzl owners to provide you with a good answer. For what it's worth, I really rate the MYO range from petzl for general mountaineering and have the old TIKKA RXP (superceded by the reactik range) that I use for running and increasingly as my primary torch.

TIKKA® comes with 3 standard batteries and is also compatible with the CORE rechargeable battery, with its HYBRID CONCEPT design. Both would be good replacements for your tikka, though the reactiks are lithium ion batteries (optional crossover kit for AAA, or spare Li-ion batteries available). Because great in-depth gear reviews will help you select the right products for your specific needs, budget, and interests. The HYBRID CONCEPT design allows ARIA series headlamps to run on either the CORE rechargeable battery or three AAA/LR03 batteries without an adapter.I'd also eventually come to the conclusion that the 200 or RGB was not part of the real name, something which is a bit daft for a retailer to do if people are looking for a specific torch as you think its something else.
