Available exclusively through Allied SEPL — India’s sole authorized Petzl distributor.
Why the Petzl ACTIK CORE Headlamp is India’s Favourite
India’s outdoor community has specific demands — headlamps must survive monsoon rains in the Western Ghats, freezing Himalayan nights, and dusty desert trails in Rajasthan. The Petzl ACTIK CORE headlamp is engineered to handle all of these conditions reliably.
Its combination of powerful illumination, convenient rechargeability, and the unique HYBRID CONCEPT battery system makes it the most practical headlamp for Indian adventurers who need flexibility without compromise.
Key Features of the Petzl ACTIK CORE Headlamp

- HYBRID CONCEPT Battery System — Use the included rechargeable CORE battery OR standard AAA batteries — perfect for remote Himalayan treks where charging is impossible

The HYBRID CONCEPT — What Makes ACTIK CORE Unique
This is the smartest feature of the Petzl ACTIK CORE headlamp and the main reason it outsells competing models.
Most rechargeable headlamps force you to choose — rechargeable OR battery powered. The ACTIK CORE does both:
Option 1 → Use the CORE rechargeable battery
Charge via USB — eco-friendly, cost-effective
Option 2 → Switch to 3 standard AAA batteries
Available everywhere in India — even remote villagesOn a 10-day Himalayan trek with no electricity — you simply swap to AAA batteries. Back in the city — recharge the CORE battery via USB. No other headlamp offers this flexibility at this price point.
