Waterproof and also atex compatibile competition: Princeton Tec EOS 70 : Princeton Tec EOS 70 - (70 lumens - high) There are not too many parts inside As a matter of fact, only the battery holder and one pcb board onto which all necessary components have been packed, complete with the Cree XP-E led.Īs for myself, it is a very nice and well thought-over structure but you can hardly get at this board in order to measure the led power supply characteristics :( In the background, a solid snap fastener no chance that the head lamp opens by itself and, even if children get it into their hands, there is a considerable chance that they can not open it – the snap fastener is rigid and you have to use both your hands to open the battery compartment.Īnother useful function: after turning the head through 180*, you set it into so called transportation position - the mode selector knob is blocked and the optics is shielded against accidental damage in transportation.Ī triple lip gasket at the compartment closure, the +o-ring on the knob axle constitute a sufficient protection against water I believe that a very little bit of silicone grease and it would resist under water much longer than for half an hour assumed in the IPX7 standard. ![]() This is, probably, the best solution in the market: you may easily switch over of even 3 modes at one tine (in the case of pixa 3). The mode selector switch, well known from Ultra, here the 3-position one: off, low, high. And, first of all: the weight with two rechargeable battery Pixa 2 weighs 181g for the purpose of a comparison: Petzl Myo RXP with 3 rechargeable batteries weighs 190g, perhaps not so bullet resistant but also regulated and waterproof Princeton Tec EOS 70 weighs 104g only. A considerable amount of rubber literally prepared for frontal collision with a wall ). Power supply: 2 batteries of type AA/LR6 (delivered), compatible with alkaline batteries, rechargeable batteries of type NiMH and Ni-Cd, lithium batteries.Īnd where is the external compartment with the rechargeable battery of that Ultra ? Since the new Pixa looks exactly as the already well known in the market head lamp Petzl Ultra with this only that somebody has pressed in the 2 batteries of the AA size. Certification: ATEX: CE0080, Ex II 3 GD, Ex nAnL IIB T4 / HAZLOC: class I Groups C & D div II, Class II Group G div II. Battery charge indicator flashes repetitively main led ![]() Easy in use : the operating mode selection knob, easy and simple replacement of batteries. Constant lighting, guaranteed lighting performance that does not diminish during its entire lifetime. Two illumination modes: Low - 30 lumens / 12 hours and High - 40 lumens / 6 hours + the reserve mode for 10 hours. Headlamp keeps the hands free for work: may be worn on the head with the headband, mounted on a helmet, or placed on the ground. Headlamp with mixed beam, designed for close-range work and for movement Pixa headlamps are now available on the market, but is it what we expected to be ? It was to be supplied from 2 AA cells (almost 2x more energy than in 3 AAA cells), regulated, waterproof, a dream of each owner of Tikka XP. ![]() At the beginning of the previous year, the first information appeared in the internet: Petzl works on an evolutionary version of Tikki XP Atex.
