Is the TIKKA waterproof?

What is the red light mode used for?

The red light mode is used to preserve night vision, making it ideal for activities like stargazing, navigating in the dark, or avoiding blinding others.

What is the phosphorescent reflector?

The phosphorescent reflector is a glow-in-the-dark element that helps you locate the headlamp in the dark when it's not turned on.
