Powerful, regulated and programmable headlamp, 4 lighting levels, Boost mode and Wide Angle Lens
The MYO RXP is the first Petzl headlamp that is regulated and programmable, allowing the user to choose the order of lighting levels and to precisely adapt light output.
To do this, there are three lighting modes, for each of which the user can select the power from among ten possible levels, from 8 to 140 lumens. This feature allows the lamp to be programmed for the type of activity and the length of use.
Maximum power lighting would be suited for a short night run, for example; less powerful lighting would help preserve battery life and would therefore be ideal for a multi-day trek.
This headlamp has Boost mode (160 lumens) and a flashing mode that can be programmed. It is compatible with lithium batteries to optimize performance, even at low temperatures. The Wide Angle lens offers the option of switching instantly from a focused beam to a wide beam when necessary.
Our Verdict
The programmable bit amounts to the user specifying which setting comes on first then which thereafter, this makes sense if you prefer a particular setting and don't want to cycle through the options everytime you use it.
Other than that its a high end headtorch in terms of its light output delivery (140 lumens, up to 160 in boost mode).
