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

This is a very cool idea. Thought it might be a gimmick when I first saw it. But I was wrong. This is not some ultra light hiker accessory, but its much lighter than the small lanterns I usually throw in my pack.

Mostly bought it to store my Taktic 450 and for use as a lantern. It exceeded my expectations. Its actually really bright and lightweight. My kids love using it too. I like the strap it cam with. Proved it in caving. Didnt let me down and kept my light clean from mud.

Very versatile and extremely handy. Bought it for camping, and ended up using it the first time when the power went out during a thunderstorm. The next day was using it while working on my jeep. It diffuses the light from the headlamp very well. Giving an area more diffused light than the headlamp by itself. Using an opaque/frosted dome, to diffuse the light. Clever design. Well made. Expect years of issue-free use.

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.

great case and lantern option.

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.

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 charging cable fits in the light... makes a great light even greater... will never put a hand held flashlight in my kit again...

Nice case with the little shockcord and hook. Will be perfect on my ridgeline

Turns your headlamp into a lantern. Awesome.
