Petzl Actik Core Headlamp

G'day Jessica,

The red light function in the Actik Core is just for close area lighting only.
It's 2 lumens for a maximum of 5 metres.
If you are wanting to use a strong red light beam you would probably have to look at tactical or hunting style torches.  Check out the MH25 torch with the red filter...or the Hard Korr Hunting Spotlight.

G'day Joe,

The red and white lights are different functions, as opposed to functions on the same cycle.
You cycle through the white light functions, etc and there is a brightness memory, but to access the red light function you have to switch over by pressing and holding the power button.
You can do this regardless of the white mode you are in at the time.
The headlamp stays in the red light function unless you activate it back into the white cycles by using the power button again.
Hope that helps.

G'day Chris,

Yes, the head of the light tilts so that you can adjust the angle to direct it at your dinner/hands, or out straight, and anywhere in between.

G'day Sarah,

The Petzl Actick Core Headlamp does not have a lock function, and I dont believe any in the Petzl range do.  

G'day Henry,

Thanks for that! The Swift RL is a newer model that wasn't out when we answered the last question. We'll post your hopeful response for other people looking :)

G'day Anne-Marie,

I've just had a trial of this but unfortunately, the headlamp won't run while the core battery is being charged. If you're wanting to run this for 9 hours on the standard mode you could run it on the core battery and then swap it out for some AAA batteries. If you plan to run it on full brightness you might need to swap through the batteries a few times.

G'day Lea,

Thanks for your enquiry. I've spoken with a colleague who is an expert in this area. He advised that according to the specifications provided by Petzel, if you are using Alkaline batteries on a standard setting, the run time of the Actik Core should be the same as the Actik Hybrid- 60hours.

G'day Peter,

The Petzl Actik Core Headlamp does have a tilting function that will help with both close-up use like reading and for looking further ahead when walking at night etc. 

G'day John,

Thanks for pointing out this error to us. We have updated the Details & Specs on this page to show the latest model specifications.

G'day Craig, 

Sorry, there has been some confusion regarding this, the Petzl Actik core Headlamp does, in fact, come with the rechargeable battery included.

G'day Craig,

The batteries are included and available now with the Petzl Actik Core Headlamp.

If you'd like to purchase a spare or replacement battery, these are currently out of stock until mid-December.
