Our verdict

A thoughtfully safe kids' headlamp with limited brightness, a breakaway band and auto shut-off. It is deliberately dim, so adults will want their own light.

Overview

Kids' tents, bedrooms and campsite games are where the Petzl TIKKID shines, with brightness capped to protect young eyes. A screwed-shut battery door and breakaway headband add safety, and one button switches modes.

Parents get a light their kids can run themselves without worry about batteries or straps. The low output limits it to close-range use.

Who it's for

Young campers and bedtime readers suit this headlamp. Teens and adults need more brightness.

Light output is capped at a low level, which lengthens battery life and protects eyes. The one-hour shut-off stops a forgotten light from draining the cells overnight.
