The kind of lamp that everyone should have. Does not replace special lamps for special use, but is much more convenient for everyday general use than those special lamps. It's such a small and neat whole that it's really convenient to put it in your pocket or even in the small pocket of your backpack, and use it when you need it. There are no snags or protruding design to catch on anything. Dim enough lowest power for small jobs so as not to dazzle, red light for map reading, etc., and the glow-in-the-dark ring makes it easier to find in the dark. The light output is nice with higher settings, although you can't get one like this because of its highest output. Can be used with batteries if the battery is empty. The downside is mainly the old-fashioned charging connector.

Easy to use. The red light is excellent for night use so that others are not disturbed.

According to the information received from the manufacturer, the elastic band around the head does not contain latex. Essential information if you are allergic to latex, but it does not appear in the product information. The lamp is small, handy and the adjustment of the angle of the light beam is wide.

It's great that you can use a battery and batteries in the same product. Good light options, great for use. Well-adjustable and sturdy-feeling headband.

There should be a decent lantern in the shelter with the dog.

Not as bright as I imagined, but light weight and sufficient. Loving the strap which is easily adjustable even with thick gloves on. Also loving the large button, that can be used with the gloves as well. Minus - when adjusting the light intensity between low-mid-high, even when you hesitate a bit to see whether the light is sufficient, the next click switches the light off and you have to start from the lowest setting again. I get the idea behind the feature, I would just appreciate it to take a little longer for that feature to kick in.

TLDR:
+Light weight
+Small size
+Rechargeable battery
+bends well into different positions
+lock against damage connection
- Short battery life at full power
-No separate charging port for the battery
-no wide lens, the main one is wide
->works even at close range, but not the most long-range
A pretty good headlamp, with nothing wrong with it. The radiator hatch is waterproof, but a little difficult to open. The downside is that the battery life at full power is weak, compared to, for example, similar headlamps from Black Diamond. Also missing a wide lens. Black Diamond's ReVolt (slightly more expensive) seems to be brighter even though the lm value is lower. This is probably due to a narrower illuminated area. ReVolt also has a separate wide-lens LED, which is more convenient at close range. The good sides of Tika, on the other hand, are its small size and non-existent weight, it seems to be half lighter than ReVolt.
