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.

Performance notes
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.
