Tools and Hardware Reviews of Petzl E87 P MYO RXP Headlamp
Customer Review: No regrets yet
Summary: 5 Stars
After some deliberation about the cost of this product and the weight of the 3 AA battery pack I went ahead and purchased it. I have been using the lamp for about 4 months in several situations. During an 8 hour hike at night the lamp was sufficiently bright at its lowest setting. I had no comfort issues and the weight of the battery pack was no problem. Contrary to some pictures the light did include a center head strap for a more secure fit. Another reviewer somewhere mentioned that the lamp leaves a shadow just in front of the feet. This is the case but it can be reduced with increased downward angle of the light trading off some forward vision. For me it did not negatively affect hiking even on treacherous terrain. I am also using the lamp for reading in bed. One can shift the lamp such that the battery pack is not in the way when one lies on a pillow. The lamp is also working well for uses around the house and yard but probably any light would do well. The switch that is subject of some criticism causes no issues for me. Turning it on the first few times seemed a little cumbersome but the switch quickly becomes a non-issue unless one has to operate it with gloves. In fact I prefer this design since it is much less likely that the light turns on inadvertently in a backpack or in a suitcase like a different lamp did that I used to own. The light can be angled back for transportation in which position the switch is well protected. I really like the programmability to find an optimum between light output and battery life for different uses.
Description of Petzl E87 P MYO RXP Headlamp
The MYO RXP is the first Petzl headlamp that is regulated and programmable, allowing the user to choose the order of lighting levels and to precisely adapt light output. To do this, there are three lighting modes, for each of which the user can select the power from among ten possible levels, from 8 to 140 lumens. This feature allows the lamp to be programmed for the type of activity and the length of use. Maximum power lighting would be suited for a short night run, for example; less powerful lighting would help preserve battery life and would therefore be ideal for a multi-day trek. This headlamp has Boost mode (160 lumens) and a flashing mode (slow, fast & SOS) that can be programmed. It is compatible with lithium batteries to optimize performance, even at low temperatures. The Wide Angle lens offers the option of switching instantly from a focused beam to a wide beam when necessary. Weighs only 175g.Headlamps Tools
