| Petzl TIKKA XP² Headlamp |
 |
Headlamp with 1 high-output LED, 1 red LED and five lighting modes (three continuous and two blinking) and Wide Angle lens
The TIKKA XP² headlamp integrates two light sources as well as a Wide Angle lens with a simple open-close feature, allowing the user to choose between a long distance focalized beam and flood beam proximity lighting.
This headlamp is equipped with a white high-output LED and a red LED. The white LED delivers 60 lumens in maximum mode and lights up to 60 metres. In economic mode, it can reach a burn-time of 160hrs.
The red LED provides lighting to preserve night vision or to become a blinking light for increased safety, for example in an urban environment, etc. TIKKA XP² can be used with lithium batteries to decrease weight or increase performance in cold weather.
Our Verdict
High output headlamp at 60 lumens justifies the pricetag, but Petzl features such as low battery indicator, red light and superb construction adds appeal.
