Review: Mega bright! - It's quite funny when I'm out running with my friends. They often forget to turn their head torch on as mine is so bright!!!!! Not only is it bright, it is super light. I wear it over an ultra thin skull cap (like cyclists wear under their helmets) and you don't know it's there. Really quick to tighten up with the mechanism too. 2 seconds to fit it on your head perfectly and unlike the elastic models you see, it's not clamped to your head hard. As I say, you don't know it's there because it's so light and isn't applying pressure via a tight elastic clamped around your head. Beautiful product! Being able to change the battery once the one supplied gets old and has been through loads of charge cycles, is just icing on the cake.
Review: Comfortable and light - This head torch is very light and comfortable to run with. I don't even notice that I am wearing it. The torch is nice and bright. What I really like is that it's rechargeable but can also take standard aaa batteries. The charge so far has lasted well but I have only run for about 5 miles after dark with it on continuously on high beam, so I am not sure how long it lasts with each charge. Would I buy the same torch again? Probably because I like how light weight it is.

## Features

- Lightweight, ergonomic rechargeable headlamp with AIRFIT headband. Provides 500 lumens of brightness at only 79 g.
- Ergonomic and comfortable AIRFIT headband: innovative, streamlined design, with semi-rigid headband and ultra-thin lamp body. Battery pack in the rear to distribute headlamp weight over the entire head, making it balanced and comfortable enough to be almost imperceptible. This water-repellent headband resists sweat and rain.
- Optimal visual comfort, with LED configuration that distributes light homogeneously. Two beam types (flood or mixed) and many white brightness levels to meet different needs: proximity lighting, movement, and distance vision.
- Headlamp charges via micro USB port. HYBRID CONCEPT design: the lamp comes with the Petzl CORE rechargeable battery and also works with three AAA/LR03 batteries (not included).
- Storage pouch allows it to be transformed into a lantern. Can fold flat in its pouch to reduce bulk.
- Reflective components on the back of the lamp, making the user visible at night.
- Two LOCK functions prevent the lamp from turning on during transit or storage.
- Compatible with all Petzl helmets.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: does this come with the rechargeable petzl battery?**
A: Yes-  the IKO CORE has the CORE rechargeable battery. The IKO doesn't

The Inglesport Team

**Q: Will I need the attachment clips to fix it to a cyling helmet?**
A: According to the Petzl website you will require UNI ADAPT which are "Four adhesive clips for mounting a Petzl headlamp on helmets that do not have clips."

**Q: What is the warranty with this item if bought from amazon?**
A: I honestly would find an alternative to this headlamp. It’s got a few major flaws that I think detract from its initial appeal: The battery isn’t ‘keyed’, so can be put in reversed without realising… if you do this by accident, the headlamp pins will be bent in and not make contact with the battery anymore - making the headlamp useless… unless you have a small watchmakers screwdriver with you to bend them back out again (and the light to)… Being careful not to overbend them of course! The wiring to the lamp face itself is also prone to detaching if placed into its own carry bag a few times - again making the lamp useless. These are the two biggest issues I’ve had with it. Petzl did offer to look at it under warranty, but the postage back to them was almost as much as the headlamp itself, so I threw it away. I think there are other, better options to go for if I’m honest - it’s a really bright and featherlight headlamp - but the reliability is extremely poor, and the design is flawed.

**Q: Is the torch adjustable to tilt downwards?**
A: Yes. I use it loads at night for running and find it has a good range of adjustment.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Most comfortable headlight yet
*by S***6 on 9 January 2021*

Really comfortable to wear, lightweight and sits on your head like a crown instead of just compressing around it. No sweaty band to irritate you either so comfortable for wearing for hours at a time. The light spread is fantastic! It produces an even, wide spread of light. Not the brightest ultimately, but bright enough for trail running and I've found too narrow a beam causes me serious problems with tunnel vision causing me to become disorientated. This is far more comfortable and natural to run with. Highly recommended, I am looking forward to testing battery life on some night ultras but the fact you can switch to AAAs (slight weight penalty over the core) is another bonus.
