Super Bright Light
I also own the original 3 LED Tikka which I already thought was a great light, but the improvements made for the Tikka Plus really put it over the top! The Tikka Plus, with one additional LED, is actually MUCH brighter than the original Tikka. It also has a head which rotates to a comfortable angle, unlike the original Tikka, which puts the light exactly where you need it. This just makes it alot easier to use than re adjusting the angle of the head band. It also has a new push button on/off switch which lets you choose between 3 power levels and a strobe mode. I need the brightest light possible so I just click it once and use it on high. I once used a combination of propane and fluourescent lanterns to illuminate my workspace when I am rigging my boat or camping in total darkness. This little light, simply powered by 3 AAA batteries not only seems to put out as much light as either of these lanterns, but the batteries last forever! It's also great for kayacking as it illuminates the cockpit and water in front of you. I couldn't imagine working in the dark again without this light...it's that good.

Works great!!
I run at least twice week in the evening on my neighborhood streets. Needless to say, it is not safe to run in the dark, so when winter comes I cannot do it unless I go to the gym and run indoors on the treadmill (Yuk, how boring). Now w my new Tikka Plus headlamp I can see the street/road clearly and I am able to run on the street with relative safety. Very lite and confortable to use.

Great Headlamp!
The Tikka Plus is everything I hoped it would be. It is very lightweight, fits securely, and gives off good light. I especially like how you can easily and precisely adjust the angle of the light. I also like the multiple brightness settings.

Just Great
This lamp is great, battery can be used for months, the light is extremely white, the only problem is the battery compartment, is difficult to install new baterries, but is great
