Take one long-duration LED and give it a boost to the 65-meter range. 170-hour battery life.
Most people classify energy-saving LED headlamps as a safer substitute for tent-bound candle lanterns but Petzl's Myo® XP shines new light on nocturnal potential beyond the tent and campsite. It features a focused high-power single LED light bulb with a special boost mode that illuminates up to 71 yards for twenty-second intervals. While boost mode is an energy-saving option (batteries can last up to 170 hours) it's a fairly practical feature when you think about how much time you spend looking at the ground directly in front of your feet while hiking or climbing in the pre-dawn and dusk hours. In addition to boost mode the Petzl Myo® XP has three other lighting settings: Maximum optimum and economy. Economy is perfect for tent reading and sorting pack gear while the maximum mode will help you spot objects almost 50 yards down the trail--depending on the color of your surrounding landscape (we found that wet basalt rock doesn't reflect much light). A wide angle lens tilt lamp and superb water resistance are standard features. The battery life indicator reminds you when the batteries are at 30% capacity and 10% capacity and all switches are covered to avoid accidental shutoff. See more and do more after the sun goes down--shed some light on the innovative Petzl Myo® this season.
