This headlamp from Petzl has one high-output LED, one red LED and five lighting modes (three continuous and two blinking) and wide angle lens.
The TIKKA XP 2 headlamp integrates two light sources as well as a wide angle lens with a simple open-close feature, allowing the user to choose between a long distance focalized beam and flood beam proximity lighting.
This headlamp is equipped with a white high-output LED and a red LED. The white LED delivers 60 lumens in maximum mode and lights up to 60 meters. In economic mode, it can reach a burn-time of 160 hours.
The red LED provides lighting to preserve night vision or to become a blinking light for increased safety, for example in an urban environment.
The TIKKA XP 2 can be used with lithium batteries to decrease weight or increase performance in cold weather.

Petzl: How It All Began
Fernand Petzl made the first 1,000 metre cave descent in France in 1950, laying the foundations for vertical safety technology of the future.
Twenty years earlier he had started working with fellow speleologist Pierre Chevalier, making new advances into the basic thinking behind their shared sport.
Fast forward to 1975, and the Petzl corporation was born at the base of the Dent de Crolles – Crolles’ Teeth – near Grenoble, heralding an era of innovation and design which brought us the Grigri belay device, Tikka and Tikkina head torches, and a range of safety helmets and harnesses used by cavers and climbers all over the world.
Renowned throughout the industry for their ‘work-at-height’ products and highly-technical rescue equipment, Petzl have expanded their manufacturing line to include specialist ice climbing technology, and are committed to raising social, environmental and ecological awareness - alongside research into risk prevention - of all mountaineering sports.
