Petzl Tikka XP Headlamp
Save your money and buy a (brigher) Spot
By catiecoo
Ranked #7 - Headlamps
December 29, 2008
Save your money and buy a Black Diamond Spot instead. The spot is $10 cheaper, uses a better LED, and brighter. When trail running with a friend after dark, him wearing the Petzl, and me the Spot, both on fresh batteries, the Petzl's brightness pales in comparison. This is because the Petzl uses the Luxeon LED, which gives only half of the light output as the CREE LED, which the Spot uses. Both LEDs have similar run time. If you want a side-by-side comparison of CREE vs Luxeon, go here: http://www.flashlightreviews.com/reviews/fenix_p1d.htm
