Petzl Noctilight

Product Information

However, it would have had to be made bigger with an additional battery compartment, and then it would absolutely no longer be handy. Dimensions and Weight The material looks high-quality, but it does not seem to be waterproof. At least the manufacturer does not provide any information on this. The case can be combined with various headlamp models from Petzl. Unfortunately, however, not with all. Especially practical are the various options for placing the tent lamp. With the choice between standing up and hanging on the hook or by loop, there is certainly something for everyone. The light is also very well diffused thanks to the dome shape. The handling is also very easy. Most people complain that there is no room for batteries and rechargeable battery. However, the case is already relatively heavy at 85 g and would probably no longer be handy with an extra compartment. The light can be regulated well in this way. Nevertheless, the lamp is protected from accidental switching on and off. About the elastic band with hook on the case, you can hang the lantern. To do this, you attach the hook itself to the desired location or to the case itself, forming a loop. If you want to use the case as a standing lantern, you just leave it in its position on the flat side. Design Compatible with all TIKKINA, TIKKA, ZIPKA, ACTIK, ACTIK CORE, REACTIK, REACTIK +, TACTIKKA, TACTIKKA + and TACTIKKA +RGB headlamps

HYBRID CONCEPT design: ACTIK® comes with three AAA/LR03 batteries and is also compatible with the CORE rechargeable battery (not included); it automatically detects the energy source and adjusts lighting performance There is a hooked strip of elastic cord attached, which allows hanging the lamp. Interestingly, there are 2 possible ways for hanging: using the hook (e.g. under the tent roof) or with a loop (e.g. on a tree branch). During transportation or when the Noctilight is used on a surface, the cord is hidden inside a special groove. As a lantern, the headlamp pouch combo can illuminate the tent well and even at the weakest level. How bright the light is, of course, depends on which Petzl headlamp you use for it. But since the Petzl models are known to be powerful, it should work well with any model. The dome shape ensures a pleasant dispersion of light. I’ve seen this accessory first when the friends of mine posted the list of featured equipment for their extreme bicycle trip. It took place in March-April 2017 along the shore of Arctic Ocean at the very North-East of Russia (just 1000 km from Alaska).Continuous red lighting to preserve night vision without blinding those around you, and strobe to signal your location, especially in emergency situations There is also an elastic band with hooks on the bottom compartment, which is wrapped around the case and hooked. The overall finish of the product looks high quality. It is also CE certified. Unfortunately, there is no indication as to whether the case is also waterproof. One has to assume that it is not. That’s a shame, by the way, because most of Petzl’s headlamps are weatherproof and protected against splashing water on all sides, but not completely waterproof. A waterproof case would have been even more beneficial because of this. Compatible Headlamps WARNING: This lamp is not certified for road use: when used in areas subject to traffic regulations, Petzl lights are no substitute for required standardized lights.

At the top is the lamp compartment made of transparent plastic. It has the shape of a dome. The material is sturdy, but soft enough that from the outside of the switch can be easily operated. At the bottom is the compartment where the headband can be stowed. This is rubberized. A zipper has been sewn between the two compartments. There is also a small strap with a loop to attach the case to a carabiner, for example. Otherwise, there are probably also headlamps from other manufacturers that can be combined well with the Noctilight. However, it is not designed for this. Therefore, in case of doubt, you should take measurements beforehand or try it out on a friend’s model. LightWith such a product, which can be used in combination with the headlamp, as a lantern, the fit is important. Therefore, you should find out exactly with which models the case is compatible, otherwise it will not fit or turn on the lamp from the outside is not so easy. What should you pay attention to before using it?

The handling is simple. The zipper of the case is opened and the cap flipped open. The headlamp is now placed so that the power button of the lamp is at the level of the power button symbol of the case cap. There is enough space at the bottom to stow the headband. The zipper is then closed again. The headlamp can now be easily switched on from the outside via the power button. The light of the headlamp also appears softer and more pleasant due to the envelope. It does not dazzle. In this way, a cozy atmosphere is created. That’s why I don’t think we can understand the criticism of customers who think that the case only takes up space and that you can simply hang the headlamp on the ceiling yourself. Of course, this is also a possibility, but the light is not well dispersed in this way. Besides, the case serves another purpose. Handling Three white lighting levels: MAX BURN TIME, STANDARD (better power/burn time balance), and MAX POWER Compatible with the HELMET ADAPT and BIKE ADAPT 2 mounts, so you can attach the lamp to a variety of helmet types or a bicycle (1)

The Noctilight itself is lightweight, but it has large dimensions for accommodating the lamp with folded head strap. On the other hand, it makes a good solution for lamp storage and protection, so the total dimensions are not much larger than dimensions of the bare headlamp. The Noctilight can be easily combined with most headlamps of the Petzl Classic, Active and Performance series, including:
