Petzl NOCTILIGHT Headlamp Case - Protective Carrying Case for Compact Petzl Headlamps That Diffuses Light Into Lantern Mode

Great idea. I use my Petzl all the time for tasks around the house as well as my forays into the woods. With this device, though, Ive discovered much more functionality. I cant wait to use it on my next camping trip in April.

Good concept for combining Petzl headlamp and protective case. Similar lamps may fit. Button alignment isnt perfect, even when using the recommended headlamp. It feels like you have to press fairly hard and at a certain angle. Inserting headlamp has to be specific, too. Folding the band a certain way otherwise it wont fit. Still a great concept, though.

Rechargeable batttery is brilliant - any mini USB cord plugs directly into the battery and the battery itself has a red/green built in to indicate charging status. But the real brilliance is that if the rechargeable is dead, you can use regular AAAs, so its awesome for endurance events. The lantern feature is a little hokey, but it does work.

The Black Diamond headlamp fits nicely in this lantern case. I hung it from the top of my tent and was very pleased with both the white and red-light illumination. It is really beneficial if more than one person in your tent that needs light vs wearing a headlamp or propping a headlamp on your bag.

This is great for camping - small and lightweight - you can store your headlamp in it when youre not wearing it. So wear the headlamp around in the dark, then climb into your tent, take it off and fold up the elastic headband and put the headlamp in this case, face up - and it transforms into a lantern! When you zip up the case, if youve put the headlamp into it properly, you can even turn it off and on through the plastic dome. Clever!

Great design and concept. Provides storage for your headlamp and provides a handy tent light. When you use your headlamp as a tent light, sometimes its hard to prevent getting the direct beam of light from hitting your eyes. This little thing disperses the light and brightens the space uniformly. Highly recommend.

excellent

Though its irritating that petzl lights are not water resistant I love them anyway. I own 4 now. 3 different models. I picked 2 of these up for my reactik lights. The old one with the whistle the is easier to turn on in the case. The new brighter model seams to roll forward when trying to turn on. The case seams to be well thought out and the lantern option works great if I can get the button on. The little hook doesnt like to wrap around the shock cord very well. The hooks doesnt fit on my blind support rods. Hunters. You may have to tape the zipper pull or something. Its kind of loud when it slaps the case. So if you plan on adding a small caribeaner to the little ring for easy access keep that in mind. Wish they were cheaper.

This is my second Noctilight. Replaced my small lantern with this for camping/hiking. Awesome lighting option if you are trying to save weight but you still want lantern level performance.

Light weight but made of heavy material, seems durable. Really handy to have around in case of power outage or for camping.
