The Petzl Actik® Core is a rechargeable, compact multi-beam head torch with 600 lumens, perfect for most outdoor activities.
The new 600 lumen Petzl Actik Core is a powerful, rechargeable, and easy-to-use headlamp with white and red lighting.
The Actik Core is supplied with a rechargeable Lithium-ion battery which saves money on disposable batteries and is more environmentally friendly.
Casting 600 lumens, Actik Core provides powerful and comfortable lighting to go with you when you're running, trekking, mountaineering or travelling.
Its phosphorescent reflector makes it easy to find in the dark and red lighting keeps you from blinding those around you when you’re with a group.
The Actik Core comes with the CORE rechargeable battery and also works with three standard batteries, thanks to its HYBRID CONCEPT design.

Editors Comments:
The Actik Core ticks all the boxes and is currently my favourite head torch.
I hate the feeling of not knowing how discharged my batteries are, but with a rechargeable ‘Core’ battery I can keep my head torch 100% topped up and ready to go.
It’s supplied with a USB cable which can be connected to a laptop, a mains adapter (not included) or 12volt car socket adapter (not included), so it can be on charge at home, in the office, in the car or even from a solar charger or mobile battery source.
If you’re going on an extended trip and need to use backup sets of batteries, you just remove the ‘Core’ battery and pop in three ‘AAA’ batteries. You don't need any kind of adapter.
The ‘Core’ battery is good for 300+ full recharge/discharge cycles, so if you calculate the cost of 300 sets of batteries (three batteries in a set at £0.75each = £675!), then the core suddenly seems extremely good value. If you add to this the reduced environmental impact, it really makes sense to go rechargeable.
There’s just one button on top, so the function is simple and intuitive and because it's a good sized button you can operate it whilst wearing gloves.
The Actik is compact and lightweight at 88 grams, so the headband has been kept simple. The headband is comfortable, reasonably stable, adjustable, washable, and removable. Replacement bands are available for when it starts to look old and worn out.
The dispersion of light is wide, even and soft edged, so you don’t feel like you’re in a tunnel or a kaleidoscope and the three light settings are appropriate for most outdoor activities, walking, running or by rope.
The Actik Core has been and will continue to be my preferred 'pocket friendly, every day torch and preferred walking, camping and travelling companion.
