Don't let the small size fool you! The Petzl Tikka XP 2 headlamp packs a punch, with a powerful and adjustable beam, white and red LEDs, tilt head and battery-status indicator.
- Single high-output LED provides even, white lighting throughout your field of vision with no blank spots in the beam; advanced optics optimize the reach of the beam to 68m
- Spring-assisted, flip-up diffuser lens changes beam shape from spotlight to area light for different conditions
- Red LED positioned to the side of the white LED lets you preserve your night vision or use the headlamp as a blinking light to increase your visibility in urban environments
- Push-button switch easily changes between 3 white lighting modes (high, low and flashing) so you can choose the appropriate light level for the task at hand
- White LED delivers 80 lumens on high
- Also change between 2 red lighting modes (continuous and blinking)
- White light on low level provides up to 190 hrs. of use and high level up to 70 hrs.; red continous provides up to 100 hrs.
- Hold down the on/off switch to change between red and white lighting modes
- Battery charge indicator light comes on when the beam distance diminishes to 5m and when there is only 50% battery life remaining for proximity lighting
- Provides IPX4 water resistance for reliability in inclement weather
- Headlamp tilts to point light where you need it; adjustable elastic headband holds the light securely in place and includes an integrated signal whistle for emergency use
- Compatible with the Petzl Adapt Tikka 2 system (sold separately), which allows you to quickly and easily attach the light in a variety of places

Comments about Petzl Tikka XP 2 Headlamp:
I've purchased low cost headlamps in the past and kick myself for doing so. Spend a little more, buy it once and get quality. This light is great for what ever you'll need it to do.

Comments about Petzl Tikka XP 2 Headlamp:
I bought the Tikka XP2 to replace my Black Diamond Storm. I had given away my old Tikka and missed how comfortable and simple it was. So, compared to the Storm:
PROS
--80 lumens is not 100 but bright enough (although I sure did like the Storm's 100 lumens)
--lighter than Storm by 0.8 oz.
--three AAA seem to last as long as Storm's four AAA
--flip-up diffuser lens is really simple and works really, really well
--Two brightness options works fine for my needs (infinite dimming capability of the Storm not needed)
--I like that it always turns on the same way: it's quite easy to step down to the lower brightness (or blinking) as needed. (With the Storm, you had to turn it on, turn it off, then turn it on again to switch LED's.)
--The power button is easy to find (I could never feel the Storm's power button, esp. with gloves)
--the lighter weight feels more comfortable on the forehead
--I think the band is more comfortable and easy to adjust
--it doesn't glare in my glasses as badly as the Storm
CONS
--The Storm's 100 lumens really was nice (not really a "con" for the Tikka, though)
--When the diffuser is down, it creates a kind of shadow in the light pattern
--I really miss the lip that the old Tikka had, which kept the light from shining in your eyes/glasses. :(
--The red light is rather dim; I never use it.
--No lock to prevent accidental discharge (something the Storm has)
Note:
3 lithium AAA = 0.8 oz
3 alkaline AAA = 1.2 oz

Comments about Petzl Tikka XP 2 Headlamp:
Works great for hiking and trail running. I've had a Petzl Myo XP for over five years that I used on Mt Rainier and it's still going strong. This light seems to be almost as bright as the Myo at half the weight. I wanted a headlamp lightweight enough that I could throw it in my pack without worrying about the extra ounces in case I get caught by darkness but would be bright enough to be useful. I have an older BD light that is almost useless for illuminating the trail. I agree with other reviewers that the red light is only good enough for looking at a book or map, but I've never felt a strong need for a bright red light. I'm a tough grader: I gave this four stars because of the red light and without a top strap it tends to bounce a bit more running than the Myo.

Comments about Petzl Tikka XP 2 Headlamp:
Purchased to be a bright, all purpose, headlamp to wear on backpacking, hunting, fishing, kayaking, and camping trips, it has not met my expectations. While well made and giving long run times, this light throws a poor quality, blue hued, diffuse beam, that is poorly focused. It is difficult to discern distant objects or objects within 15 feet. For example: I tried to use this lamp to locate a wounded/dead deer in pitch black woods. I had to crawl on my hands and knees to distinguish blood from red/brown leaves and literally crawled to within 10 feet of the deer before I could see it. I recently used this light on a night fishing trip along a steep, rocky, bank and had difficulty walking on the terrain because of the light quality. I also walked up on a cat (10 feet away) and mistook it for a raccoon because of the poor beam quality. Navigating a kayak in low light is definitely a no go with this light. I think the problem lies in the quality of the LED and a poorly designed reflector. I used this light over the course of 16 months to make these determinations and actually purchased two of them based on reviews and specs. I'll be returning both for something else, however.

Comments about Petzl Tikka XP 2 Headlamp:
I've had the XP for a few years and love it. It does all the things a headlamp should, and the Petzl has the fit, finish and durability that is above all other brands. I'm one of those people who have a lot of the same brands of gear so it can all match, but when it comes to headlamps I'll always use a Petzl. It just exudes quality. I want to mention a few things specific to this model. I love the diffuser and use it more than the spotlight! It's great for scattering light around a campsite, reading, or just looking around in the dark. That to me makes it absolutely worth the small amount of extra money over the standard Tikka. I also use the red light more than I expected. I'm chilling, it's dark and I'm checking out the stars and scenery, but want to do a little reading or find something. The red can be obnoxious, but only for the first minute, then you forget about it. And when you look up from your book at that strange animal noise, or the stars, you can see without your eyes adjusting. Highly recommended.

Best Uses
Comments about Petzl Tikka XP 2 Headlamp:
Two years ago, I opted for the Black Diamond Storm because it was brighter and a little cheaper, and the beam was dimmable.
Here's why I have replaced it with the Tikka XP2:
-lighter by about .4 oz
-the switch is easier to find (it's big and orange)
-smaller body
-just more comfortable on my forehead
-80 lumens is bright enough
-I never used the dimmable feature much on the Storm, but the diffuser works very nicely on the XP2 and is quick and easy (just slide it up)
-the headband on the Storm was awkward for some reason; Petzl headband is better
-it's easier to see which side is "up" on the Petzl with the orange switch
-I like the successive clicks to choose different settings when turning on; I really disliked the way the Storm toggled between the two settings every single time
Cons:
-You can't lock the XP2 (unless someone knows something I don't); you could lock the Storm: a VERY nice feature when backpacking
-No "low battery" indicator (which Storm has)
Note:
-Lithium batteries are significantly lighter and last longer, making up for their higher cost, so they're a win, win, win.
-when walking my dogs, the diffuser does a great job of lighting a broad area, as good or better than the dual LED's of the Storm; when I need to find a dog in the dark, I switch to the focused beam
-the low power is like walking in moonlight; haven't had a chance to use it camping yet, but low would be nice in camp/tent were you don't want to blind people
-it stays in red LED mode until you switch back, so you can turn it on and off at night without fear of a blinding light
-the red LED is not bright; probably suitable for inside a tent only

- No
