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

I bought this to protect my 350 lumen head lamp and to replace my mini-lantern. The case did the trick in both cases. The quality is sturdy and the zipper looks tough enough to use over and over as needed. The case has a marked on and off switch on the lens that fits perfecting with the on and off switch of my Petzl tactical headlamp. I use it everyday when I walk my dog at night. I take the headlamp out and use it and then put it back in the case when done. If I need a light to find the leash I just grab the case and switch on the headlamp and find the leash easy enough in the dark. I plan on buying a case for each of our headlamps in the house. I will be carrying the case with me during Hurricane Dorian as I live in the east coast and evacuations have started.

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.

A little expensive for what you get. Works as described.

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.

Works great for brightening rent enough to read, or look for lost items. Worked w different type head lamps too

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!

Arrived on time in good condition. My Petzl headlamp fits inside, and I can switch the headlamp off and on from outside the lantern case no problem. When I go camping in a few weeks, well see how well it works as a lantern !

This works really well with my headlamp, which is a Black Diamond Wiz. The power symbol on the case even pretty much lines up with the power button on the headlamp even though its not the same brand. I keep it hanging near the top of my ditty back and headlamp storage and as an easy way to see the inside of the bag. I havent taken it camping yet, but its clearly going to work as a general purpose lantern on a tabletop or hanging. I would recommend using this with a headlamp that can be operated with a single button on top.

Great little device and perfect for lighting up a small area. We have all been there and just hung our headlamp from a hook to act as a makeshift lantern, and I will continue to do so if I have to put it back on right away. But with this, if I just need to use it as a lantern, it works great. The lens is frosted, sending light in a broader range vs. being direct from the headlamp. Its easy to store the headlamp in, and I was skeptical about the button to turn it on, but it worked great. Its also a great way to store your headlamp when packing it away or in your gear. It also works with some off-brand headlamps.

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.
