Petzl ACTIK CORE – powerful headlamp for running and outdoor
Petzl Actik Core is a rechargeable headlamp designed for those moving in the dark - whether on a run, in the mountains, or hiking. The lamp combines powerful light with a simple and easy-to-understand design, focusing on the balance between performance, comfort, and user-friendliness.
HYBRID CONCEPT – FLEXIBLE POWER SUPPLY
Actik Core comes with a rechargeable CORE battery but also works with three regular AAA batteries thanks to Petzl's HYBRID CONCEPT design. The lamp automatically detects the power source and adjusts performance accordingly.
The CORE battery charges via USB-C, and a battery indicator light shows the battery level each time the lamp is turned on or off. A CORE battery's total lifespan equals about 900 regular batteries.
SIMPLE OPERATION FOR USE ON THE MOVE
Actik Core is operated with a single button, making it easy to switch between brightness levels and light colors, even with cold fingers or gloves on. A LOCK function prevents the lamp from being unintentionally turned on during transport or storage in a bag.
The lamp also features a tilt plate, allowing you to easily adjust the light angle up or down, and a phosphorescent reflector makes it easier to find the lamp in the dark.
HEADBAND AND COMFORT
The headband is symmetrical and adjustable for a good fit, made from recycled materials. It can be removed, washed, and reattached. The back of the headband is reflective, increasing your visibility in the dark.
Actik Core is weather-resistant (IPX4) and can therefore be used in rain and humid weather without issues.
