LED Headlamps

[tkl]

How do the all led headlamps at Wal Mart compare to the Petzyl Tikka plus? Use would be book reading and occasional night fishing.

I have seen at least two different Tikka (not the plus) copies and they performed as well as the original. Actually I did have more problems with the original Tikka's switch.
No competition for the Zipka, which is ingenoius IMHO.

My favorite of the Walmart lights is the Streamlight Knockoff by Optronics.

Second goes to the Garrity 3AAA 2LED (3 light levels plus two flasher modes).

I like the Energizer 3AAA 2W 1R LED light for reading in bed.

Joe, tell me more about the SL knockoff so I can find what you're talking about.

Optronics Nightblaster (I think).

Do a web search (hold on a sec!) http://www.flashlightsunlimited.com/clipmate.htm

It looks like that. 3AAA side by side, a clip with a ball joint and a three strap headstrap.

Walmart has a red version Optronics and a White one.

Should be in the flashlight section.
