Tools and Hardware Reviews of Petzl E99 PG Tikka XP 2 Headlamp, Graphite

Customer Review: Severe Disappointment
Summary: 1 Stars

I've been using the old Tikka XP for years and loved it
so when I saw they had a new "improved" version out I had
to have it. I use the old version a lot around the house
and as a backup light for caving.

I just got the Tikka XP2 and man am I disappointed.
The clear bottom of the case allows light to bleed down
onto your eyelashes, into your eyes, and onto your glasses
if you're wearing them. Fixed that with some black heavy duty
duct tape and immediately found another boneheaded design
"improvement"-- they changed the lens slider from side to side
to an up and down movement. What this does is: The tab that slides
the lens is now in a position to cast a blaze of light down even
worse than the clear case bottom (fixed with more duct tape.
Didn't these folks figure this out before they released the product
or was it considered a design "feature"?
Also, the lens itself is not as good as the lens was in the old unit. This lens
casts a very uneven footprint on both settings compared to the old unit.

Finally, the unit gives a sickening strobe effect to any motion. Try it
for yourself before you send it back. Move your hand in front of your
face and notice the nauseating strobe effect.

Given these flaws, I have to say the old Tikka XP was damn near perfect and
I immediately got online and discovered it's now discontinued. Soooo, after a
little searching I found a place that had ONE left in stock. It's now on its
way to me.

Do not buy this headlamp if you liked the old Tikka XP. Do buy it if you don't
mind light in the wrong places and the stroboscopic effect.

They should not have used the old name "Tikka XP" as part of the name for this
product because in my opinion the two are completely different and the only similarity is that they are both small. Again, what a disappointment. I had hoped I was going to get basically the same unit, just brighter. Instead I got a completely new design that is inferior to the old. But hey, the new one's brighter!

The electronic push-button switch lets you choose between five lighting modes. View larger.
Petzl Tikka XP 2 Headlamp
With 3 brightness modes, 2 flashing modes, a wide-angle lens, and a red light, the XP2 is ready for almost anything. View larger.
Power and Versatility
With three different brightness settings, two flashing modes, a wide-angle lens, and a red light for tactical missions, the Tikka XP2 handles any dark backcountry situation with ease. It's ideal for backpacking, hiking, camping, travel, working under a vehicle hood, and more. And thanks to its compact, 3-ounce design, you won't even notice it's there until it's lighting your way back to the car.

Light Choices and Signalization
For power and versatility, this headlamp is equipped with a white high-output LED and a red LED. The white LED delivers 60 lumens in maximum mode and lights up to 60 meters. In economic mode, it can reach a burn-time of 160 hours. The red LED provides lighting to preserve night vision or to become a flashing light for safety.

In addition to the flashing mode, the Tikka XP2 provides an integrated whistle that allows you to call for help.

User-Friendly Operation
The Tikka XP2 features an electronic push-button switch that lets you choose between three white lighting modes(maximum, economic, and flashing) and two red lighting modes (continuous and flashing). Also, this switch is designed to lessen the likelihood of the lamp turning on during storage. And to ensure that the Tikka XP2 is ready when you are, it offers a battery charge indicator light that will come on when the headlamp illuminates for less than five meters and there is only 50% burn-time remaining for proximity lighting. When it's time to change the batteries, you'll find that the battery compartment is quick and easy to access.

Finally, the adjustable headband provides a custom fit for comfortable wear, while water-resistant construction helps guard against the elements.

The Tikka XP2 comes with three AAA alkaline batteries and is backed by a three-year warranty.

About Petzl: Innovative Designs, Practical Approach
Petzl, a family company, was born out of Fernand Petzl's passion for caving. One of the leading experts of his generation, Fernand spent his life experimenting with vertical progression techniques, and he invented equipment that radically changed the status quo. The Petzl company applied these underground tools and solutions to other vertical environments: first to the mountains--rock climbing and mountaineering--and then to the professional sector, with work and rescue at-height. The Petzl company quickly became known as the foremost innovator in the vertical world and has been associated with all major underground, alpine, and Himalayan adventures since the 1970s.

Today, Petzl is the leader of hands-free lighting. Petzl revolutionized the industry starting with the Zoom, and then the Tikka--the first compact light. The company moved forward to introduce the state-of-the-art e+Lite and Ultra, and it continues to work with outdoor sports enthusiasts and professionals to create innovative, practical, high-quality lighting and climbing products.
