Plenty of climbers, backpackers and campers think of energy-saving LED headlamps as a safer substitute for tent-bound candle lanterns, but Petzl's Tikka XP shines new light on nocturnal potential beyond your tent and campsite. It features three lighting settings including a boost mode that illuminates up to 55 yards or so depending on the light-reflection properties of the surrounding terrain (wet black rocks always seem to steal some from any manufacturer's claim). While boost mode is an energy-saving option (the three AAA batteries can last up to 120 hours), it's a fairly practical feature when you think about how much time you spend looking at the ground directly in front of your feet while hiking or climbing in the pre-dawn and dusk hours. The power-saving economy mode is ideal for tent reading and sorting pack gear. A wide angle lens, tilt lamp and superb water resistance are standard features. The battery life indicator reminds you when the batteries are at 30% capacity and 10% capacity.

Great Product
I bought this head lamp for my girlfriend to use on weekend hiking trips. She loves it, especially the slider. It lights up the whole tent making it easy to read at night. I like the battery light indicator on the side, it's a good heads-up as to when the battery needs to be changed.

Best headlamp
This is the best headlamp I had. Light weight and super bright. Though you should but other filters.

Good Headlamp
This headlamp is great. Has a pivoting head and stays in place even when running. I use it to run in the winter at night and the feature to give a broader light works great but when I need a more focused light I can. Petzl makes a great product and this has not disappointed. Please ask me any questions if you have some.

I love my Petzl head lamp
I love my head lamp. I own another Petzl thats 5 yrs. old.I have mowed my lawn with my head lamp and cut flowers at night.This newer Petzl has a spotlight which is a great light for that one area. Then the slider makes a wider beam.I live in rural Eastern MT. When I need a headlamp for outside it is a dependable Petzl light for not stepping on rattlesnakes.When I leave home. I have my Petzl head lamp always with me for seeing a flat tire and I have both hands free.. In the winter time when power goes out, I read by my Petzl head lamp.It is the Best little head lamp that I have used and it doesn't hurt my head with alot of Wt. thanks for your product.

Great lightweight light
Powerful beam and lightweight. The battery life indicator is a great feature... you can adjust the power output to low when the batteries start getting low when you forgot to bring those extra batteries.
