Amazing headlamp! Super bright and batteries last forever. See below for more thoughts

Reviewed in the United States on July 7, 2017

Verified Purchase

I absolutely love this headlamp. It is extremely bright. I use it almost daily while working out in my garden after sunset (not as hot as in the TX sun) Here's some more in-depth thoughts:

Pros:
- Battery life is very good. I can't really say how many hours, on what setting, as my use changes all of the time and even the type of battery you use will change this, so all I can really say is that my Amazon brand AAA's last a long time in this lamp.
- I really like the 3 different brightness settings. When you depress the on/off it starts with the lowest setting, another press, medium, another press and high. If you wait too long between presses, it will turn off the light versus increase power. The highest light setting is amazingly bright. You can see forever with it on high power. I also like that you always get the same brightness no matter how drained your batteries are. The light gives you full brightness, but if you're batteries are too low, then instead of slowly dimming, it will switch to the next lower power level.
- If you press and hold the button, it will switch from white light to red. I really like the red setting for reading at night and not waking anyone up.
- It supposedly is waterproof. I've worn it in a few rain storms and have had no issues, but have never submerged it.

Cons:
- Not really a con, but I have no use for the blinking settings on either of the light colors. Just a wasted function for me.
- Would like a little thicker headband
- I would like to have the ability to detach the headband so I could wash or replace it. Wearing this lamp daily with a bald head, this headband gets/got gross quickly and I would like to have the ability to get a new one. There's no way to remove it. This is a big bummer!

Overall, the pros substantially outweigh the few negatives and this headlamp is completely worth it. It is amazingly bright and a set of batteries last forever. Please Petzl just let me get a new headband... Even so, I still would completely recommend this unit.

Best Petzl yet ! Keep getting better. (I've had Tikka, Tikkina, Tikka XP+)

Reviewed in the United States on April 18, 2017

Color: BlackVerified Purchase

I have owned MANY Petzl headlamps and I think this is the BEST YET. They just keep getting better.

This is the BEST because:
1. All 3 light levels of white light are very useful, nice shape beam, and NO STROBE EFFECT. and the low is quite low! Actually good for campsite close work and reading once your eyes adjust. Medium is very useful, and high is BRIGHT! I love the big & useful range.
2. I think the level of the RED light is perfect. I've used it in the backyard and walking in a park and on a beach and any dimmer would be unusable for me:) It's on the low light level end, but quite useful once your eyes adjust, and your night vision is great.
3. No leakage into my eyes (at least with the black case I bought)

I don't see any lower quality issues that others mention.

Compared to my old favorite trusty
Petzl Tikka XP 2 Headlamp (Graphite) - Updated Petzl that I paid $54.95

I loved my 2 tikka XP 2 updated with the pull down diffuser for wide flood light. But I seldom used the NARROW beam without the diffuser as it was just too narrow for anything but focussing on one tiny point. And I rarely used LOW light level as it was a SLOW STROBE that drives my brain crazy. (If you move your head it is flashing-

PETZL GOT IT RIGHT - New XP is WAY BETTER better than the old XP2 for my needs,

Reviewed in the United States on September 18, 2016

Color: BlackVerified Purchase

PETZL GOT IT RITHT! ***ULTRA RELIABLE - ***Superb lighting quality, ***Choices of excellent battery life or flame thrower brightness.
Blows away the OLD 60 Lumen XP2.on in all areas Tuned beam patter works great. Best light yet. in the XP family.
TIKA XP
180 lumens 75 min
120 lumens 2 hrs of battery life
40 lumens 8 hrs of battery life
5 lumens for 100 hrs of battery life

I own both the new 2016 Tikka XP and the old TIKKA XP2 with the flip up diffuser.
New XP is much better than the old XP2 for my needs, I see no issues with quality and functionality. Love the extra light output. Has other advantages over the XP2 also.
I have been using the OLD reliable XP2 for years. It’s a great light. I had 3 complaints. 1) 60 lumens was barely enough light for night backpacking. I often carried a Fenix LD12 for more distance brightness to find trail markers when backpacking at night. Trail marker visibility varies greatly from one location to another. 2) The old XP2 leaked light on the bottom of the light directly into my eyes. 2) Old XP2 started on brightest setting and you had to click down to lower settings. This blinded me and everyone else when checking what time it is.

I purchased the NEW XPblack model. There is no annoying light leakage from the bottom of the light into your eyes like the XP2 had (thank you Petzl). There is less side leakage (on the black model). If you want more side light leakage for visibility consider one of the lighter color housings
.
Both the XP and XP2 with Eneloop rechargeable's weigh about the same.
All the Petzl lights I have owned were 100% reliable under all conditions and on inspection I expect the same from this XP. I have no concerns.

I have read l posts from XP2 owners who miss the flip up diffuser. I don’t miss it at all. I like this light which uses a separate LED and Fresnel lens to distribute the light horizontally rather than a ball. It works very well and and provides lots of useable light where you need it without the tunnel vision effect of a spot. It lights up a wide area. I like the human interface. The XP2 blasted you on high when you turned it on and you pressed the button to go to low. The new XP starts out soft and goes up which is easier on my eyes (and camping friends) if I want to check what time it is etc. Of course the red mode is available to prevent “flash blindness” too.
I like the warmer color of the XP which is a bit warmer than the old XP2. Meaning colors look more natural to me with the XP than the colder light output of the XP2.
• On the lowest setting (5 lumens for 100 hrs of battery life) 100 hours of light is fantastic. Fine for familiar areas or in a tent etc. It’s enough light for me to cook with. I can roam around the basement or back yard. No problem bringing out the garbage on this setting etc. It just does not project the beam very far (maybe 20 or 30 feet outdoors).
• The middle level (40 lumens 8 hrs of battery life) is BRIGHT. You get both a wide beam LED for area lighting and a second LED for distance at the same time. XP outputs much more area light on this setting than the XP2 with diffuser up or down and more distance. I could hike an unfamiliar trail on this setting. 8 hour of light is spectacular for this brightness The XP completely outshines the XP2. The tuned beam patterns of the new XP outshines the XP2 dot of light and provides much more area lighting and distance lighting at the same time. Old XP2 you had to choose distance or wide diffused.
• Third level (120 lumens 2 hrs of battery life) on the new XP is very bright and outshines all modes of the XP2 (twice as bright). Good for finding trail markers in the distance or looking for sounds in the night at a good distance. 2 hours of battery life is good – I would only use this looking for distant trail markers for short duration. BUT I am glad to have the brightness when I need it.
• Boost mode (180 lumens 75 min) Lumens – is great for such a small light. Nice feature at no additional weight. Tap the button twice in any white light mode and it turns on Boost mode for 12 second. Then it reverts back to the level you were on. Handy. I can be on dimmest setting and if I hear something off in the distance I can tap twice and boost will illuminate the distance for 12 seconds and then go back to prior dim setting. Very handy and energy efficient.
• Red light mode Is about the same on XP and XP2. Very useable light output. Very long life. Flashing is good. I have left the blinker on and left the light behind to guide me back at night on occasion. Its great

Headband, tilt angle, tilt angle clicks etc. All fine.

Low battery indicators – The XP2 has one on the housing where you can’t see it. It was useless. By the time it alerted you knew the batteries were dead because the light output was so dim. Useless. The new XP has a voltage regulator which will squeeze as much electricity out of the batteries as it can while maintaining constant brightness. When the batteries cannot maintain that output anymore the XP will switch to the lowest setting of white light for as long as it can – then I think it goes to red till it dies. You will have plenty of hours to switch batteries, finish cooking etc.
Past lights I have owned blinked once when power was low to alert you. Others just dimmed more and more. Some have a blinking indicator in the housing that I never could see since It was on my head. There are many ways to alert the owner the batteries are dying. The XP way works fine. Steady non dimming light output is preferable for me – especially when hiking in at night. I hated the dimming reach of the XP2 when batteries were starting to drain. You have the low setting for many hours to change the batteries or enjoy the night at short distance.
***On just published numbers (not real measurements)*** you can estimate your battery life. 3 fresh Eneloops (750ma each) have a total of 2250 ma. Or 2.25 amps.
On low XP consumes bout 22.5 ma per hour. Medium 281 ma. High 1125 ma. Boost 1800 ma.
These are very generous calculations on light use. In reality I use much less when not looking for the trail. So on a night backpack to a favorite spot I would use about 5 min on boost to find trail markers, 1 hour on high for hiking, 30 min on medium to set up camp and an 2 hours on low for wandering around camp, cooking etc. I could estimate using about 1312ma that night (most of that was the bright use on the hike in) . Or about 58% of the battery capacity. On Saturday night I would use 4 hours on low and 1 hour on medium 5 min on high, That would deplete the battery capacity 75%. I could get a third night out of the batteries at that rate. With a day hike in I could get several nights use for sure. Once in camp low is plenty enough and I would only use medium intermittently. Should be no mystery on how many batteries you need to carry or approximate life expectancy.

Anyone who is longing for the old XP2 – contact me, I will sell you mine. The XP is my new go to light that will probably reduce my use of the XP2 and the Fenix LD12 on backpacking trips.

Got me through a Ragnar Trail

Reviewed in the United States on September 27, 2016

Color: OrangeVerified Purchase

Works great and is bright. I didn't have any problem seeing the trail when I was doing the 1am run. In fact I didn't use the brightest setting for most of the run because it was plenty bright. The red light was super nice for when I was getting into my tent and trying not to wake up the other runners sharing the tent with me. The headband also adjusts easily while running.

Now that I'm back to normal training I wish it were rechargeable and that I could easily wash the headband.

Premium Torch, Does well at being a Torch!1

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 1, 2016

Color: BlackVerified Purchase

As usual, most Petzl equipment is good quality, and this headtorch is no exception. Red Light and and a White light, both of decent brightness, I wouldn't go track running with it at night, but its absolutely perfect for setting up tents and working in the night on bits and bobs. It is sold at a premium price, but this is a premium torch which is very comfortable to wear too!

I would have loved a yellow light filter

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 5, 2017

Color: OrangeVerified Purchase

I needed a new headlight for mountain biking at night, this is far cheaper than pro mountain bike lights but still does the job.
Light output is sufficient, as is duration (depends on your batteries). I'm not sure if it is waterproof, as others mention the casing has potential ingress points for water. Nothing some tape won't solve, but still... .
I would have loved a yellow light filter, as it stands now the white light blinds if you ride in the rain or fog due to reflection, a yellow light would have worked perfectly.
Would buy again.

For the price I paid an excellent head torch
(mmm not speaking from long term experience).
If it was USB rechargeable it would be a whole lot better.

Update 06/18 Had this a while now and its just a battery eating monster. They also drain when not in use for a while and keep getting the flashing message to replace pretty quickly on new sets. Had enough of this and with what I have heard about the"recommended" petzl charge pack available not being very good and too expensive, I will retire this unit and buy a LED Lenser MH6, which has everything I want.

I think it's a powerful light and really useful. It's certainly slightly more powerful that the normal petzl. My one critique is that the band loosens a bit too easily for my liking. A friend of mine just went and cut it off and put his own...but I'm not willing to do that:)
