Tools and Hardware Reviews of Petzl E89 PD Tactikka XP Headlamp, Desert
Customer Review: Outstanding headlamp
Summary: 5 Stars
This really is an outstanding headlamp. It is exceedingly bright, and outshines and outlasts my other headlamps (both LED and incandescent).
It comes with minimal instructions, and while you really don't need them, there are a few things that took me a second or thirty to figure out.
1) The battery indicator LED -- it will start flashing a few seconds after you turn the headlamp on. I thought mine didn't work at first because I didn't wait long enough with the lamp on.
2) There is a nice little clip on the strap that will hold one extra lens - to remove the lens, you'll probably need to use your thumbnail to push it out from the back until it clicks, then you can use the slide tab to pull it out the rest of the way.
3) Multiple light modes -- when you initially turn the light on, you can hit the switch multiple times to change light modes. If you wait too long, the light will turn off the next time you hit the button, rather than switch to the next mode -- this is, in fact, good, so that if you want to kill the light quickly once you've been using it, you don't have to cycle through the other modes until it goes off.
Finally, the desert color is very nice -- it's sort of in between khaki and olive drab.

Summary: 5 Stars
As an electronics tech who has spent the better part of seven years working nights, I have gone through many different flashlights. This is the best one yet. I don't recommend flashlights to my co-workers because I always believe they may be able to find something better than what I have if they do some searching. This light is the exception! It is not the brightest I have ever used, but it is very bright. The long battery life more than makes up for the brightness. The only lights I have used that were brighter than this one were from two particular manufacturers and the batteries on each of those lasted less than a half hour continuosly. This light runs for eight hours with little noticable dimming and then does it all over again the next day. If you rely heavily on a hands free flashlight, this is the best one out there.Customer Review: Petzl

Summary: 5 Stars
Fantastic item, does precisely what it is designed to do....give you a good hands free source of light. It weighs very little, does not leave your neck fatigued and is very functional. Using it for outdoor applications when fishing or hunting it allows both hands to be free and gives a very efficient cover of light. Controls are easy to access and use, the filter being a very user frinedly set up without requiring any complicated operation to activate. The only possible hiccup with the whole purchase related to the postage costs, but I wouldn't count that against the product. An excellent item and I would suggest a must for any outdoor focussed person.Customer Review: Petzl Tactikka XP
Summary: 4 Stars
Good slide away protection of red lens difusser and addition of extra lens holder on headband a plus. Water resistance - light rain seems to be OK, dunkable? Instead of depressing and holding for Boost, would have been nice if UI allowed for some sort of constant boost. Like the angle adjustment - rachet engagement is solid with no small plastic pieces to break. Light output is good, but hot spot from LED is square (LED form) up until about eight feet from objects - takes some getting used too. Tint is warm with no violet or other colors. Overall a very good product and am satisfied with purchase.
