User questions & answers

Question:	What size & type of batteries
Answer:	I had mentioned in a review that I found the ballast of this bulb to be sub-standard and it began failing on me within just a few months. If you still want to give it a shot, I don't see an issue with it being mounted over a fish tank, as long as you have enough space. Check out how big a 75w equivalent CFL is at your local hardware store and see if that'll fit. These things are almost as big as a 12oz can.
Question:	Is the lamp adjustable to several angles? That is, tilt down
Answer:	Produces 1600 lumens and will last an average of 10,000hrs. This was mentioned twice in the product description.
Question:	What’s the water resistance rating? IPX rating
Answer:	That would be our FLC27D which you can find on hydrofarm.com.
Question:	Is there a red beam option
Answer:	It is 1,500 lumens.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this headlamp use battery life Does this headlamp use battery life while not in use? As in will the batteries be depleted after few months? Thx
Answer:	An art studio I deal with recommends two 85-watt bulbs in either 5000k or 5500k color making a great studio light if your ceiling is 8-to-10’ high. OR use a 20-watt compact fluorescent bulb (or even brighter if your shadowbox is large) for your still-life shadow box light.
Question:	Does this bounce without a hat? I am looking for a headlamp that can be worn while running without a hat to hold it in place
Answer:	You don't get a warranty on a light bulb
Question:	Is it possible to dim both the red and white settings? How is this done
Answer:	Yes, it is standard-size. Bulb itself is maybe 1/2 inch longer than a 60-watt incandescent.
Question:	What is the battery life of this headlamp at different modes
Answer:	yes

User questions & answers

Question:	Ya viene incluída la batería recargable? O es nevesario comprarla a parte
Answer:	Hola, viene incluída
Question:	Whats the difference in the actik vs the tactikka. I understand core means it has rechargeable battery but other than lumens whats the difference
Answer:	The Actik is a consumer/sport product in bright colors. The Tactikka is a professional/military product in black and camo's. Some consumers and retailers don't like to carry military type products.
Question:	How do you turn on the red light? the graphic instructions simply "say" to push the button. when i do that all i get are the 3 levels of white
Answer:	To be honest, it took me a while to get the hang of turning the red light on and off. Once I managed to turn it on I couldn't get it turned off, and vice versa. Its one of those things I've learned to do, but can't quite explain how I do it. I guess pushing and holding the button is the 'secret'.
Question:	There are 2 different specs on the amount of lumens this light has. Which is true? 350 or
Answer:	Depends on whether you have old version or new. The new for the same lamp is 450 lumens. Hard to tell which is which on the Amazon site. I recommend that you check the PETZL site, get the manufacturer’s product version/code number, and then check on the Amazon site to see if they match. If they don’t you are looking at the old version.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this headlamp have a red light
Answer:	Yes, the headband is removable.
Question:	will the light put out 500 or 900 lumens
Answer:	In case you didn't know... If you just recently purchased this and are charging it for the first time. You will need to unscrew the bottom cap and take the battery out, a small black plastic disc will fall out, I assume that's there for shipping or long storage reasons. If you leave it in and try to magnetically charge it, the light will work when its attached to the charger because its getting a direct current from the charger but the disc is preventing it from charging the battery, so it needs to be removed. If you've had it for a long time and the battery wont hold a charge, then yes, time to buy a replacement battery.
Question:	Does this unit get warm with consistent use
Answer:	There is a scientific answer here but the practical answer is...the magnet will firmly hold the light on any suitable metal
Question:	Can you run in the falling snow
Answer:	I imagine it might after continuous usage - have only run it for 15-20 minutes at a time - did not notice any particular heat
