FAQs about the PETZL TIKKA CORE headlamp

What is the difference between the TIKKA and the TIKKA CORE?

The main difference is in the scope of delivery. The "TIKKA CORE" model (this model) already comes with the rechargeable PETZL CORE battery. The standard "TIKKA" model comes with three AAA batteries, but can be upgraded with the CORE battery.

Can I still use normal batteries?

Yes. Thanks to the HYBRID CONCEPT you can remove the supplied CORE battery and instead operate the lamp with three standard AAA/LR03 batteries. This offers maximum flexibility when there is no charging option available.

What is the red light used for?

The red light is used to maintain the eyes' dark adaptation. It dazzles other people in a group less and is ideal for use in camps, huts or when working at night where night vision needs to be maintained.

What does the IPX4 protection rating mean?

IPX4 means that the headlamp is protected against splashing water from all directions. It can be used in rain or damp environments without any problems, but is not suitable for submersion in water (diving).
