Petzl Tikka 350 Headlamp
A compact, versatile everyday headlamp that has earned its place as one of the most trusted names in outdoor lighting for 25 years. The Tikka 350 delivers more output and more features than the Tikkina with the addition of red night vision, a lock function, a battery indicator, and a phosphorescent reflector that makes it easy to find in the dark without turning on the light to find the light.
Why We Carry It
It's the headlamp we recommend for hikers and campers who want a step up from the most basic option with red night vision and a lock function without paying for a fully technical headlamp.
Highlights
- 350 lumens max output with wide proximity beam — A broad, uniform beam optimized for close-range hiking, camp tasks, and reading in a tent. Reaches 70 meters on max power for trail navigation when you need to see further ahead.
- Three white lighting levels plus red continuous and strobe — Max Burn Time at 7 lumens for 110-hour runtime, Standard at 100 lumens for a balanced everyday option, and Max Power at 350 lumens for full brightness. Red continuous preserves night vision without blinding tent partners and red strobe signals your location in emergencies with 700-meter visibility for 400 hours.
- Single-button interface — One button cycles through all lighting modes including red without a complicated multi-button interface. Quick, intuitive, and usable with gloves on in the dark.
- Lock function — Prevents accidental activation in a pack or pocket. A meaningful upgrade over the Tikkina for hikers who carry the headlamp packed away between uses.
- Battery charge indicator — Shows remaining battery level each time the lamp is turned on or off so you're never caught off guard on a night hike or at camp without knowing where your power stands.
- Phosphorescent reflector — Absorbs ambient light and glows in the dark so you can find the headlamp without turning on a light to locate it. A genuinely useful detail at 2am in a dark tent.
- Storage pouch that converts to a lantern — The included pouch diffuses the headlamp beam into ambient lantern light for tent and camp use without a separate lantern. Two pieces of gear in one accessory.
- Hybrid Concept Dual-Fuel design — Works with three included AAA batteries or the CORE rechargeable battery sold separately. Automatically detects the energy source and adjusts performance. Notably delivers 450 lumens on max power with the CORE battery versus 350 with AAA.
- Fully recycled headband that removes and washes — Sustainable, hygienic, and replaceable. Extends the useful life of the headlamp beyond what a standard fixed headband allows.
- Compatible with Helmet Adapt and Bike Adapt 2 mounts — Attaches to helmets and bicycles for hands-free lighting beyond standard headband wear.
- 94-gram weight with IPX4 weather resistance — Light and compact enough for everyday carry without meaningful weight penalty on trail or in a pack.
- 5-year Petzl guarantee — A serious warranty that reflects Petzl's confidence in the construction quality of an everyday headlamp.
Best for
Hikers, campers, and outdoor enthusiasts who want a reliable, feature-complete everyday headlamp with red night vision, a lock function, and Dual-Fuel flexibility at an accessible price point. A strong step up from basic headlamps for anyone who spends regular time on trail and at camp and wants a light that handles the full range of outdoor lighting needs.
Compatibility Note
