I’ve used the Petzl Actik Core on 3 primitive camping trips and have been very happy with it.

[dmlchannel]

I'll keep my Fenix HM50R - it's lighter than the Petzl Actik Core, brighter, has a better variability of output in white light settings, is longer lasting, has IP68 waterproof rating, and as an astrophotographer, has the ability to bypass the white light settings and jump directly into the red lamp with two rapid clicks of the power button. Best headlamp I've used

[kellymorris]

Micro USB is a definite deal breaker. I'd be willing to pay slightly more for USB C just so it's one less cable or adapter. Am I bring picky? Yes. 100% admit it. Keeping it simple with AA or AAA, but tje option of a battery bank that is rechargeable is nice, but let's move forward with USB C.

Been using petzl lamps for a while now, they’re solid performers and bright.

Best headlight I’ve ever owned ACTIK CORE

[brashachilles]

Given the current situation, I make sure my camping stuff can dual role as prepping. My headlamp can be easily charged by a small foldable solar panel or run off batteries. Dual role for emergency preparedness is something that I have applied to a sustained renewal of all my camping stuff over the last 18 months.

Nitecore, Fenix, Olight, Armytek, Fireflies, Lumintop, Astrolux, Klarus, Thrunite, Acebeam, Xtar, Imalent and even Sofirn have served me well for many many years and they also have certain models that have multiple cell capabilities. I own a ridiculous 80+ lights, over a 100 cells and many chargers over the last 10+ years. It's hard to beat Armytek's 10 year warranty. I am sure it's a decent lamp but the price vs performance and functions is just not there for me. My two favorite lamps are my Armytek Wizard Pro and my Fireflies PL47 Gen 2. Great vids as always!

[pixelfascination]

I have this exact same one, I just carry 2 of the Core powerpacks and a USB powerbank to charge the one i am not using. It charges fully within 2 hours so the switch over is seamless.

'Glad to have this option & review as it hasn't arrived yet to my location. It does seem behind (micro-usb, low runtime, buttons, etc) in some ways-especially for price. I'd like to see a comparison or separate review of the BD Storm options. Shine on!

[creeplife]

Lol micro USB!? Cmon man! My nitecore ut27 has a USB c battery/aaa batteries as well. It's lightweight, it's quite bright

[psps]

Thank you so much for not immediately starting your video with loud obnoxious metal/rock intro music to show off how wickedly outdoorsy you are and how totally not aging you are.

Just came from a few other folks' videos...Needed to vent 😅

[brucemurray]

My gear is based on AA and CR123. Need to stay in that world. I do have a very cool Klarus HC3 rechargeable cap light.

[AviMus]

Which one do you have? You said you have the highest linen version. All your links just take me to sites where I have to type what I’m looking not not a direct link to the product itself.

[charlesjonestherednecknerd]

Been needing a headlamp. Good info and yeah I like dual power options as well. They are not priced too badly and with the dual ability seems like a deal to me. Have a great week.

[carravagio]

thanks for the video, for whatever reason ive always had a hard time finding that headlight that just worked for my needs, currently using a older AA Thrunite light that is decent for basic use, ran though a few olight models, maybe Petzl is next. keep up the good content and god bless

[martinmiller]

I lived offgrid in Interior Alaska for decades. Headlamps were a must for many critical outdoor activities. Try splitting wood for a woodstove with a flashlight and you'll immediately see what I mean. ... LED lighting technology was a paradigm shift for flashlights and headlamps. ... I've owned several dozens of headlamps since the 1970s. ... Petzel brought then new technology to the field, but that was back in the day. IMO, Petzel allowed the rest of the industry to leave it in the dust - similar to what Buck and Gerber did in the cutlery industry. They rested on their laurels and lost market share, as more innovative companies greatly surpassed the effectiveness and prices of their products. ... I prefer Fenix, Thrunite, and Olight for my current lighting needs. ... No offense intended, but I regard the Petzel reviewed with a relatively expensive, proprietary, rechargeable, 2 hour battery life, as suitable mainly for the metrosexuals who shop for everything at REI Coop.

[marcvanheugten]

I see the Arctik and Arctik core in different looks, the one you have and one with a "cross" (lack of better description) would you know the difference?

[panagiotissoufliotis]

I have a Petzel pretty similar to this model and specs. It is nice around the camp, food prep at night or map reading and taking notes. For following mountain trails, get back to camp after hunting, working, etc, i use a 2 x 18650 head set with other 2 batteries extra. For sure it is heavy, but it is a need and a 800 lumen for 8 hours, gets the job donne.

[eyeofthetiger]

G'day Aaron, with so many options out there, it's quite a can of worms. Must say I'm surprised at how many head lamps are 3 x AAA powered and/or use proprietary battery packs. Around a car camping/RV base camp or at home I guess battery types aint that big of a deal;
However on the trail, I'd like to take the opportunity to suggest going purely with 14500/AAs.
I carry a Klarus H1A-PL headlamp and Lumintop EDC-05 tube, both fitted with a single 14500 with integral charging port, (if either unit or battery fails one can do the job of the other).
2 X charging cables, a USB-micro with C adapter and a USB-C with micro adapter, (if either fails I still have both types).
5000 mAh battery bank with integral solar, provides a full phone charge @ 3000 mAh + 2 x 14500 @ 800 mAh each, the on board solar back up is quite limited by its size, but enough to get out of strife.
A 4 pack of Alkaline AAs, (Could use NiMh, but the 14500s already provide for a recharge option and if the charger/battery bank then be out of options).
This lot is very light weight for the given capability, flexible and not expensive either.
Btw; I am looking at getting a PLB/GPS, that takes 14500/AAs too.
Also, if hiking in a group, best if you all use the same batteries IMO, (whatever the consensus is).
Cheers Duke.

can you review Acta Non Verba A100 with magnacut steel?
