It is called a Tikka.  This is also made by Petzl.  There is another model 
called the Zipka made by Petzl.  Basically they are the same light each with 
3 LED lamps.  The Tikka has a trditional head band and is very light weight.  
The Zipka has a retractable nylon string that holds the lamp to your forhead. 
 It is very compact and light.  In order to aim either lamp you must move it 
up or down your forhead because there is no swivel on either model.  I like 
mine but have only used it once.
