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

excellent

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.

works with Black Diamond Storm light !! Love the simplicity and good design (well done Petzl?)

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

When I saw this product I fell in love with the idea of it and had it on my wish list for some time. A few few weeks ago I was in a position to purchase it and can now say that I love it for what it is. I have a light duty bodied petzl which cuts down on weight, however felt that there would not be proper protection for it as it rattled around with my other small gear. Furthermore I wanted to have diffused light for my kit without needing to go out and get another light which would mean more weight, cost, and room. Also,I like good, long lasting gear and will pay for it if I have to. Enter the NOCTILIGHT. Added weight, cost, and room is unavoidable when looking to add to capability to a system compromise must be made. That said, the NOCTILIGHT didnt add much weight, gives a comfortable level of protected to my headlamp, defuses light effectively, didnt add much weight, took up little extra room, and is good gear that does not break the bank. Other things to note, the zipper is heavy duty, and the cord attached to hook has a strong return for its tasking, which in my experience means the elasticity of the cord will remain good over long use.

I have a Zipka and Zipka Plus 2 and the headlamp rattles around this case like a marble in a jar and the power button doesnt align with the case. This is due to the extra space in the case for a bulkier head strap which the Zipka and Zipka Plus 2 dont have. (They have a retractable head band). Ive returned the case.

Im not a camper and dont need a light weight in-tent lantern, but I bought this case and love it. This light is my go-to flashlight; I use it almost daily. Its handy for just about everything and is bright enough that you dont have to squint. The carrying case keeps the headlight strap well-contained, making it easier to store. For me, the fringe benefit is that, when the power goes out (which it does at least a couple of times a year where I live), I have a ready-at-hand lantern. Well made, easy to use, I highly recommend hit PETZL NOCTILIGHT.

great case and lantern option.

This is very handy for making more diffuse lighting to fill a tent or cover a picnic table or area at a campsite. It is a bit bulky if you are trying to minimize volume in your pack, but when you store your headlamp plus some spare batteries in there, then it isnt so much extra space. (Even without spares it might be good to take your batteries out since Petzls dont have a power switch lock and might get turned on by accident.) And I like the flexible dome that lets you squeeze it to change the light settings or turn on/off without having to open the case. I use this with a Zipka headlamp, which doesnt have the thick strap, so it sits lower in this case. But it still works to create a nice broad diffuse and even lighting for an area.

The only reason I bought this was Petzl does not list any other headlamp cases for that new lamp. I also own the PETZL ACTIK Headlamp Case. The PETZL REACTIK+ fit in that case too. I actually switched the two. The PETZL REACTIK+ now lives in the ACTIK case, plus three AAA batteries. The PETZL ACTIK lives in this case now. The ACTIK lamps on / off button fits in the window for this NOCTILIGHT case perfectly. Better than the REACTIK+ headlamp actually. Sizes line up perfectly. Im not a real fan of this case as it feels flimsier than the ACTIK case, but it probably will help prevent damage when dropped or in my backpack. I use Black Diamond Apollo for my hammock and tent, so I doubt Ill ever use this case for a hanging light, but Ive decided to keep it. If I didnt have the two lamps and cases, Id return this and get the ACTIK case instead. Hope that helps.
