Petzl Tikka XP Headlamp
Tikka XP rocks!

I rode my mtn bike in the dark on city streets tonight -the Tikka XP was far brighter than my bike-mounted light. I used the Tikka's 'strobe' setting and could read street signs well in advance of when I needed to. I felt comfortable knowing I was very visible to cars. Oh - and it stayed on my helmet perfectly without slipping or sliding around. I directed the beam downward, just in front of my bike so as to not blind oncoming drivers or pedestrians. In short - excellent headlamp, compact, simple to operate and lightweight. I can't wait to use it camping! A great find..and water resistant, too. This replaces my two-strap, waterproof 1997 Petzl headlamp that had a 4AA battery pack, two separate bulbs (one adjustable focus) and an unbelievably cumbersome rear battery housing that caused the headlamp to slide all over my head and blinded anyone I was talking to.
