Description

Lighter and more compact than the featherweight Tikka headlamp, the waterproof Zipka Plus features a retractable strap that can be attached to your head, arm, legs, pack, pole or whatever works to help you find your way or do your work in the dark. It has a waterproof design and a watertight rubber toggle switch that alternates between four light settings: High, Medium, Economy and Intermittent. The four LED lamps consume roughly one-tenth of the power used by a standard flashlight bulb and offer a lifetime of over 100,000 hours (that's over eleven years of literally living in the dark--no pun intended). Even fully loaded with the included trio of AAA batteries, the Zipka Plus barely nudges the scales at 2.2 ounces, so it's ideal as an emergency essential even in the lightest of minimalist packs.

Great, easy to use, no other matches it, yet This is an extremely handy headlamp, small and easy to use. I've bought 6, they make great gifts.

Great for Pack or Pocket I work at a summer camp and this is ideal for carrying in my pocket until I need to pop it on. The different light settings are great for distance (bright) or not disturbing campers (dim). The strobe light makes for a little entertainment. Altrec got me a great price, but even at full price it is a good investment.

Is this Handy? - Yes - No

bright & lightweight Excellent so far. Brighter than the Princeton Tec Aurora, and very light weight. Flashing mode will be a help in bike riding after dark.
