Petzl's Actik Core offers an excellent light image, flexible hybrid mode for the power supply and low weight. Only the non-removable strap is a minor disadvantage.
This test report belongs to a different type: Actik Core (600 lm)
With a brightness of 625 lm and a beam range of 115 m, the headlamp is well-suited for safe navigation during fast-paced activities in the dark.
The headlamp comes with a USB-rechargeable battery and can alternatively be operated using three AAA batteries.
At maximum light output, the battery life is only 2 hours, which limits the usage duration on the highest setting without recharging or replacing the batteries.
