Killer headlamp but for $10 more but the TacTikka XP Adapt...

Great little unit.. Incredibly smart and durable, literally the best headlamp I have ever owned in 15+ years of regular headlamp use... My only gripe is that the "diverse" beam setting only comes in white, while for $10 more the TacTikka XP Adapt comes with 4 different lenses (my favorite is green - much brighter but does not affect your night vision) and I like the 3 band setting of the TakTikka versus the 2 band loop of the Tikka XP. They are basically the same headlamp but the TakTikka comes with three "clips" that it can be mounted to, one that goes on a helmet, one that goes on a belt loop, and one that goes on a traditional head loop. And the TakTikka (single-handedly the reason I bought it) comes with those different color lenses. If you had a friend with a TakTicca and you bought the Tikka you could poach a lens or two off him, then you would be fine IMO. Not killing night vision and slightly --duller-- beam for extended night hikes and use goes a long way...
