Good Features
 Great little lamp with a burn time that can not be matched. Has three dimming setting. High is good for find your way to and fro from camp for late night bathroom runs. Medium is great for around camp and low is wonderful for in the tent. It also has a strobe signaler that you can can use to signal your buddies who weren't able to get on the trail until after dark.
The Headband is comfy and secure for all general purpose camping. I would not try to take this one caving though.

Bad Features
 Not waterproof

Recommended Alternatives
 Petzl Zipka is the same lamp assembly and stores easier for those who don't care to wear a headlamp for hours on end.

    Good Features
     great little headlamp - easy to switch modes (this is important, i have seen other headlamps that are annoying to use), stays at angle i want it, and is only 3 ounces.
    nowadays there is probably something that will go brighter than the tikka, but for hiking on a trail or around camp it is perfect for me.

    Bad Features
     would be cool if it had one of those newfangled superbright/afterburner modes.

     A great minimalist headlamp. 1,000 hours of light. Very light.

    Bad Features
     The 4 LEDs are not going to provide as much light a halogen setup.

     Great caving light, also good for around camp general close range lighting needs

    Bad Features
     Not a far shining beam, 5 or 6 yds is about it to still see any detail, if you want a big beam get a bigger lamp
