Tempted to get this headtorch as a replacement for a Petzl Myo XP which has just been warranty-replaced. It looks a hell of a lot brighter when on max but should still have reaosnable battery life on the lower settings.

Apart from looking a bit crap (the head band that is) is there any reason not to go for it? Comes with helmet and bar mounts too but I think the beam is too narrow to be much use riding.

Cheers

Well it's 2.8 times brighter than the Myo XP I was using before, so I think it should be!

I guess the headband is the same as what comes with the Vison 2 / 4 lights? In which case the headband is crap, and compared to the Petzl stuff its very much a bike light that can be used as a headtorch using things that someone put together in a shed.
