Petzl ACTIK - How To Use

The Petzl ACTIK is the ideal headlamp to extend your dynamic outdoor activities. Casting up to 450 lumens of brightness, ACTIK provides powerful and comfortable lighting to go with you when you’re running, trekking, or mountaineering. ACTIK comes with three standard batteries and is also compatible with the CORE rechargeable battery, with its HYBRID CONCEPT design. Its phosphorescent reflector makes it easy to find in the dark and red lighting keeps you from blinding those around you when you’re with a group.

Purchased this expensive headlight as a replacement for the previous 'Actik Core' model which also failed. Both models stopped functioning after walking in light rain for about 15 minutes. I am always checking the weather conditions before heading out for my daily 2 hours evening walks, but there are unexpected surprises now and then. I would have thought that given how difficult it is to open the battery compartment, a few drops of rain would be no problem. PETZL, a reliable adventures enthusiast's supply vendor? Not in my experience.
