I wrote on her gift card, "Happy Splunking." Steve and I had to explain to her what that meant. What I really bought it for was when she might observe with her telescope. She needed a good red portable light. She liked my baseball cap clip light but I was having a hard time sourcing red ones. But then, the more I thought about it, a strap-style headlamp would be more versatile. I also wanted to avoid something with non-standard batteries.
The Petzl Tikka Plus 2 Headlamp I picked up from Mountain Equipment Co-op. Mom finally got 'round to testing it tonight. It works great.I was very impressed with the red colour. It is quite dark or deep. I wasn't expecting that.

Mostly she uses it when the power goes out.
