Petzl Actik Core 625 Lumen Headlamp

The ACTIK CORE is Petzl's do-everything rechargeable headlamp, and the natural step up from the TIKKA for anyone moving quickly in the dark. At 625 lumens and 88 g it has enough punch for running, trekking and mountaineering without the bulk of a full performance lamp, and the HYBRID CONCEPT design means it runs on either the supplied CORE rechargeable battery or three AAA batteries when you are far from a charger.

It sits between the TIKKA and the SWIFT RL in the Petzl range: brighter and rechargeable where the TIKKA is simple and battery-powered, but lighter and simpler than the reactive-lighting SWIFT RL. The CORE battery it ships with is the same unit used across the HYBRID CONCEPT range.
