Versatility and Power
Perfect for outdoor activities like hiking and camping, as well as household chores like plumbing work and vehicle repair, the Tikkina2 is your go-to lighting choice. Offering big power, it features two LEDs that provide 23 lumens (maximum level) and shine up to 23 meters (maximum level).

Two Lighting Modes
The Tikkina2 offers the convenience of two lighting modes: maximum and economic. The maximum setting is ideal for highly detailed work in dark, enclosed spaces, or for camping, hiking, backpacking, and climbing. The economy setting--which optimizes battery life and provides burn time of up to 190 hours--is great for reading, sewing, working under a vehicle's hood, and more.

Comfortable, User-Friendly, Stylish Design
Compact, lightweight, and comfortable to wear, this headlamp is designed with you in mind. Tiltable housing lets you aim the light exactly where you need it, and an adjustable headband provides a customized, stay-put fit. Also, the Tikkina2 is available in a variety of colors to suit your personal style.

For ease of use, the push-button switch can be operated with just one hand, and it is designed to limit the possibility of inadvertently turning on the lamp. For further convenience, the Tikkina2 contains both the LEDs and batteries within a single compartment. The headlamp is also compatible with the ADAPT mounting system, which lets users detach the headlamp casing from the headband and attach it to a helmet, backpack, or jacket (ADAPT system not included).

About Petzl: Innovative Designs, Practical Approach
Petzl, a family company, was born out of Fernand Petzl's passion for caving. One of the leading experts of his generation, Fernand spent his life experimenting with vertical progression techniques, and he invented equipment that radically changed the status quo. The Petzl company applied these underground tools and solutions to other vertical environments: first to the mountains--rock climbing and mountaineering--and then to the professional sector, with work and rescue at-height. The Petzl company quickly became known as the foremost innovator in the vertical world and has been associated with all major underground, alpine, and Himalayan adventures since the 1970s.

Today, Petzl is the leader of hands-free lighting. Petzl revolutionized the industry starting with the Zoom, and then the Tikka--the first compact light. The company moved forward to introduce the state-of-the-art e+Lite and Ultra, and it continues to work with outdoor sports enthusiasts and professionals to create innovative, practical, high-quality lighting and climbing products.
