The Petzl Tactikka XP is the newest light in the Petzl Tikka series of headlamps and is now available in camouflage or desert tan for the military. Using one high powered LED, this light is brighter than the 4 LED's found in the Petzl Tikka Plus light. Using a new high power focused LED, light output will have three settings plus a 'boost' button producing a 50m beam when required. Other features include a tilting head, sliding diffuser for tactical lighting and an LED battery level indicator. Available in Desert and Forest Camouflage color schemes, the lightweight and compact Petzl Tactikka XP is designed for backcountry hiking and hunting. Equipped with a powerful single LED bulb, three lighting levels, a boost mode and colored wide angle lenses, the high-performing Tactikka XP is ready for adventure. A 1-Watt LED bulb produces a maximum brightness of 40 Lumens. Three standard settings allow you to regulate the length of the beam from 59 feet to a maximum of 114.8 feet. By adjusting the length of the beam, you can maximize efficiency, increasing burn time from 60 hours to 120 hours. For those moments when you need just a bit more power, a convenient Boost mode casts a 164 foot beam for 20 seconds. An additional setting produces a strobe light for emergency signaling. A hinge on the housing of the Tikka XP enables you to aim the beam where you need it most. You can also adjust the beam from a flood beam for sharp, proximity lighting to a spot beam setting for maximum distance. In addition to the standard clear lens, the Tactikka XP includes red, green and blue filtering lenses. These lenses make the beam less conspicuous and are more conducive to maintaining night vision. The Tactikka XP is powered by three Alkaline AAA batteries (included). With batteries, the Tactikka XP weighs a mere 3.35 ounces. A battery level indicator light warns you when batteries are 70% depleted and again when batteries are 90% depleted. A comfortable, elastic headband allows the Tactikka XP to adjust to fit varied head sizes and even includes an integrated carrier for one of the colored lens options. Technical specifications: Boost: (50m range) 20 second before reverting to previous setting. High: (35m range) 60h Medium: (25m range) 80h Low: (17m range) 120h 3 x AAA(included) Weight without batteries: 59g Weight with batteries: 95g

Comments about Petzl Petzl TACTIKKA® XP Desert Tan Headlamp:

I bought the unit for a hike but was looking for other uses. I am an avid stargazer and use red lamps to prevent loss of night vision. This head lamp is light, easy to use and is great when you need it.
