Petzl Tikka XP LED Headlamp

Don't let the small size fool you—this headlamp packs a punch, with a powerful and adjustable beam, tilt head and battery-status indicator. "Easily the brightest mini-lamp we tested," said Backpacker Magazine (March 2006 Gear Guide issue). Durable plastic housing is highly water resistant for confident use in wet conditions. Adjustable elastic band comfortably fits a variety of head sizes; tilting ratchet head adjusts light where you need it without crooking your neck. Three-color battery-charge indicator provides visual status of remaining battery life, eliminating guesswork. Powered by three AAA batteries, headlamp can provide up to 120 hours of light on low setting. Super-powerful Boost mode produces nearly double the light of maximum level when you need extra visibility. Boost mode stays active no more than 20 seconds to prevent overheating of the LED circuitry. Powerful 1-watt LED bulb never needs replacement. Slide-away diffuser lens cover changes beam shape from spotlight to area light for different conditions. Four-way power switch controls light modes: maximum, optimum, economy and flashing strobe. Separate Boost switch for on-demand lighting to cut through the dark.
