Petzl E94 PS Zipka 2 Headlamp, Storm Gray

Cheap Petzl E94 PS Zipka 2 Headlamp, Storm Gray Review

We have some of this and they are great for traveling, hiking, hunting, working where light is needed, etc. This is much better than the kind that occurs with a large rope around the head. Very little heavy, light and you can use the head, wrist or grasp. After using various "lights" over the years, this is the best we have used.

Hands-Free Light for Multiple Uses
The Zipka² is a hands-free light source that can handle a variety of different situations. Whether you're pitching a tent, working under your vehicle's hood, sewing, or hiking along a mountain trail, this portable, compact headlamp will help you see clearly. And for even greater versatility, the Zipka² is compatible with the ADAPT mounting system (sold separately).

Three Lighting Levels for Versatility
This headlamp is extremely versatile, thanks to its three lighting levels (maximum, economic, and flashing), which you can quickly access with a simple electronic push-button switch. In maximum mode, the four LEDs deliver 40 lumens of light and provide enough light to see over a distance of 29 meters. In economic mode, the lifetime of the batteries can be extended to up to 120 hours for a long burn-time.

Ultra-Compact, User-Friendly Design
25% more compact than the Tikka², the Zipka² won't weigh you down. It has a hinged, single compartment which provides easier access to the batteries, as well as a more user-friendly closure system. The Dyneema retractable cord system means you can comfortably wear this lamp on the head or wrist, or attach it to any other support, like bike handlebars or a ladder rung.

Easy Operation
As easy to use as it is comfortable, the Zipka² operates via an electric push-button switch that lets you quickly transition from one mode to another. For added convenience, this switch limits inadvertently turning on the lamp during storage, so you won't waste the batteries.

The Zipka² comes with three AAA alkaline batteries and is backed by a three-year warranty.

About Petzl: Innovative Designs, Practical Approach
Petzl, a family company, was born out of Fernand Petzl's passion for caving. One of the leading experts of his generation, Fernand spent his life experimenting with vertical progression techniques, and he invented equipment that radically changed the status quo. The Petzl company applied these underground tools and solutions to other vertical environments: first to the mountains--rock climbing and mountaineering--and then to the professional sector, with work and rescue at-height. The Petzl company quickly became known as the foremost innovator in the vertical world and has been associated with all major underground, alpine, and Himalayan adventures since the 1970s.

Today, Petzl is the leader of hands-free lighting. Petzl revolutionized the industry starting with the Zoom, and then the Tikka--the first compact light. The company moved forward to introduce the state-of-the-art e+Lite and Ultra, and it continues to work with outdoor sports enthusiasts and professionals to create innovative, practical, high-quality lighting and climbing products.
