just got the new tikka plus. the tilting head is a big benefit for me as i use varifocal glasses and had problems getting the old light on the right part of what i wanted to focus on.
otherwise, same weight, same headband but with flashing disco mode.

 where did you get it from? I've been looking for one but can't find a online supplier
|
|
I think Nevisport have them online
|
|
 David, we do them mail order if you like :)
|
|
 You can buy them on Blacks, I bought the Zipka Plus last weekend, & they had the Tikka too.
|
|
 You can get them from Peglers in Arundel I think. They do a postal service.
|
|
popped to blacks and am £30 worse off, like the disco mode
|
|
Well praise the Lord!! I got given one!! And I did not even have to ask!! Performance is brilliant, incredible battery life, low weight, great beam.
|
|
 Why? How? Who? Where?
More importantly, can I have a free one? Pretty please with a cherry on top....

 I heard from staff at Rock and Run that the Petzl LEDs aren't as good as the Black Diamond ones and so dont give useful light for as long.
|
|
 Which models specifically? There's quite a few, Petzl do the Tikka, Tikka Plus, Myo 3 and Myo 5 all of which use LEDs and Black Diamond also have a few variations, there's the Moonlight, then there's also a new, upgraded Moonlight for this year with more battery power, so I guess it depends on what you compare with what. To be honest, all LEDs last quite a while. Where the Moonlight definitely has the edge is in robustness. It is really tough, I threw it out of a second storey window twice then against a wall as hard as I could and all it did was scratch the casing slightly.

 Slightly worried as to the extremes you go with during gear testing Jon. Do you get yourself dragged behind a car when testing clothing durability? Next time you're testing a tent, I could come along with home-made bear claws to see how it would survive a bear attack.
I'm available most weekends.

Grrrrrr.....

Regarding Petzl v Black Diamond the torches we were discussing at the time were the Zipka and Tikka v the Ion and Moonlight. I'm only repeating what RockRun manager said to me, haven't done my own indepth analysis.
