Tools and Hardware Reviews of Petzl E86 PR Tikka XP Headlamp, Red
Customer Review: Bright Light
Summary: 4 Stars
Headlamps come in many shapes and forms. The Tikka XP is a bright, light weight headlamp. I like the feature of having a diffuser that slides over the spotlight. If you can find them, purchase the colored diffusers. I replaced the clear one that came with the Tikka XP, with a red diffuser. This is a great feature at night as it allows you to see your surrounding clearly, without significantly impacting your night vision.
Please note: if you intend on using this with a bike, do not use the red diffuser, because the light is limited to about 10 feet.
Customer Review: It Lights my Way
Summary: 5 Stars
This headlamp hangs around a statue of Buddha by my front door, reminding me to don it when I take the garbage out at night down my dark, long, earthen driveway to the road below. Snakes, tarantulas, scorpions and larger creatures are out and about at night, so it is essential to see where one is stepping! This headlamp lights my way. I also like to use it coming home from any venue where the light is dim and I need to get back to my car. Not traditional uses, but really important ones. I think this would make a thoughtful gift.
Customer Review: Most versatile headlamp available
Summary: 5 Stars
There is a reason this headlamp receives accolades: it is the best out there. Comfortable, easy to use, bright, long-lasting battery and versatile. I bought several--my parents keep one in each car now for emergencies.Customer Review: I'm surprised at the brighness
Summary: 5 Stars
For a headlamp--first that I've owned, it feels solid and bright. Just thought of buying something I need to use once in a while while working on bikes and cars, but it should be useful for just about anything like walking at night. The headband is quite sturdy feeling and solid constructions. No complaints.Customer Review: VERY USEFUL!
Summary: 5 Stars
These headlamps are really worth the $$ if you use flashlights a lot. It is really convenient to have a hands-free flashlight, something you don't really realize until you use one of these things. We use ours as reading lights when we are camping. This particular model has three brightness settings, which is perfect: Go all the way dim when you are reading, and all the way bright when you have to get up to use the bathroom in the middle of the night. The lamp portion has a tilt down feature as well, which your friends will appreciate if you accidentally look at them while it is on (the light is blinding but only if you look at it straight on). It also has a strobe for emergencies. Battery lasts a long time, and the head strap is so comfortable, you barely notice it is on.
