i'd not seen them before, they look pretty good!
it's only missing a red filter for preserving your night vision then it would be perfect!

Thanks for the Hitch n hike link. I've been after clips for sticking head torches onto hard hats for a while with no joy. No value to this thread, but thanks anyway!

I have just got the "TacTika XP" from the same company, cost £35 delivered, here the next day and, clear, red, blue and green filters as standard, it also has a natty spare filter holder on the strap so you can carry a spare of your choice.

Brill bit of kit.

hmm, must get away from this, far too tempted to buy. i want, but have 5 torches already, must not be tempted!!

Don't tempt me, I have the tikka plus and love it, but I can't help but feel that the tikkaxp might be superior..

IMHO the tikka plus is better than the XP. The XP is not bright enough for range work and the light is not as even for work around camp. I much prefer the light out of the +. If you want a small headtorch for range work I would try one of the princeton tecs such as the EOS (which I have not used in anger), or the #1 all rounder, the APEX (though its a bigger device it is fantastic, I use mine daily in the winter).
