Comments about Petzl Myo RXP 2 Headlamp:

As a piano technician, airplane mechanic, pilot, occasional hiker, and guy who likes to be prepared for adventure, I was looking for a versatile, useful, & reliable headlamp. Tending to research things thoroughly before I buy them, I finally settled on the Myo RXP because of its brightness, different lighting levels, long battery life, and use of common AA batteries. This headlamp will be a huge asset to me in my trade, where I often have to work with both hands in cramped, dark areas.(Note: REI used to carry the Myo XP -- the older, nonprogrammable version of this Myo RXP.)The bright setting on this light is very bright -- great for looking for what's making that odd sound in the woods. However, the bright setting is way too bright for the kind of up-close work that I do, which is why the programmable lighting levels are so valuable for me. One disappointment, though, was that the 8-lumen level is still too bright for use in the cockpit on night flights. I guess I'll have to stick to my el cheapo mini [...] headlamp for those rare times when the cockpit lights fail.Battery life is very good according to the comprehensive time / beam distance table furnished in the instruction manual. I have not used the light long enough to give an experience-based assessment. The "smart" light regulation system makes full use of the batteries and saves the LED from overheating. It gives regulated light for the first several hours (exact amount of time depends on the lighting level), then switches to non-regulated light to squeeze the last drop out of the batteries. The battery indicator is solid green for regulated light, flashing green for non-regulated, yellow for <70% remaining, and red for "replace the batteries". The main headlamp also flashes momentarily to alert you when the system has switched to non-regulated mode.Petzl products are made in France. Though France is not the USA, it is also not China. Every feature on this headlamp is well-designed and well-manufactured, except for the battery cover. This cover is made out of soft molded plastic that fits snugly over the batteries with no screws. It seems to me like an insecure way of doing it, but the head strap does wrap around the back of the battery cover, and does, I suppose, help to hold it in place.The flip-up diffuser is a very useful invention, absolutely vital for up-close work or working around a dark campsite, while still allowing the spot light to be used for long-distance viewing. It is sturdy and does a good job of diffusing the light. One small con is that when it is flipped down (for spot lighting), the little clear plastic tab that allows you to grasp the diffuser with your fingertip refracts the light into your uppermost field of vision. I fixed this problem on my light by painting the tab with some black lacquer.The headband is comfortable enough, with no protruding bumps to dig holes in your skull. The over-the-top band works well, too, and would allow you to comfortably wear a baseball cap over it.Overall, if you want the best headlamp out there for non-caving activities, and you have the money for it, this headlamp is for you. As a man who believes that quality and reliability will always win out over features and economy in the long run, I recommend the Myo RXP.

Petzyl Myo RXP 2 Headlamp

About Me Avid Adventurer

Pros

Adjustable Beam

Cons

Bulky

Best Uses

Comments about Petzl Myo RXP 2 Headlamp:

Like most Petzyl products this headlamp is very durable and reliable. The high output LED lamp is SUPER bright and the wide angle flip up lense actually works.

The only cons I have are the battery pack is a bit bulky and the LED light does not highlight rocks or tracks when on the trail. But I have to say on my trail runs or MTB rides this is still my headlamp of choice.

It's worth the money and I'm already planning on buying another since my wife and friends keep stealing mine.

Comments about Petzl Myo RXP 2 Headlamp:

I bought this for primative camping, hiking and riding my bicycle at night all which it does amazingly! The light is brillant, regulated, programmable and also has a built in diffuser. I have also used this device for computer repair work too. My only con is that it doesn't have a red light / diffuser, but I purchased this knowing that :) If your on the fence about buying it don't hesitate you will love the quality and features it has to offer.

Excellent lamp, fragile retaining clip

D-Clip Breaks

Best Uses

Comments about Petzl Myo RXP 2 Headlamp:

I have the previous (unregulated) version of this headlamp. It still works and I love it. I bought another because it's convenient for me to wear one headlamp and have another in a drop bag for later.

Petzl doesn't attach the strap that runs from the headlamp back to the battery. Instead, they provide the strap and two "d-clips" and allow you to attach it yourself. That wouldn't be a big deal except the d-clips themselves are fragile, at least on the first two units I got.

When I was attaching the headstrap to the first unit, the second d-clip broke. I assumed it was defective because I didn't think I was forcing it or improperly assembling the unit. I acknowledge that I wasn't paying a huge amount of attention, because I had successfully assembled (more than a year ago) the previous unit.

However, after returning the broken unit and getting a replacement, I paid much more attention and saw that getting the d-clip through the hole attached to the battery compartment was a little tricky. Passing it through seemed to stress the d-clip, but I was relieved that it made it through intact. That relief was short-lived though because when I went to insert the prong into the hole, the prong broke off.

It's possible that I was doing something wrong, but I did look closely at the instructions before assembling the second unit. As best as I can tell, I followed them correctly. It looks like a slightly larger hole on the battery compartment or a less brittle compound for the d-clip would prevent the problem I had.

By the way, review headlines are limited in length, so I had to omit "(probably)" from the headline. I would have preferred to write "Excellent lamp (probably), fragile retaining clip" because I did briefly turn on the first unit I had before I tried to attach the strap. The beam was nice and bright and I assume the output matches or exceeds that of my previous XP headlamp. However, due to the d-clip breakage I haven't used the headlamp enough to know for sure that it's an excellent headlamp.
