Petzl Pixa 2 – heavy weight headlamp.
![]() At the beginning of the previous year, the first information appeared in the internet: Petzl works on an evolutionary version of Tikki XP Atex. 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. Pixa headlamps are now available on the market, but is it what we expected to be ? ![]() Some marketing data Headlamp with mixed beam, designed for close-range work and for movement - 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. - Two illumination modes: Low - 30 lumens / 12 hours and High - 40 lumens / 6 hours + the reserve mode for 10 hours. - Constant lighting, guaranteed lighting performance that does not diminish during its entire lifetime. - Easy in use : the operating mode selection knob, easy and simple replacement of batteries. - Battery charge indicator flashes repetitively main led - 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. - Power supply: 2 batteries of type AA/LR6 (delivered), compatible with alkaline batteries, rechargeable batteries of type NiMH and Ni-Cd, lithium batteries. - Weight (including batteries): 160 g Price : $59.95 ![]() Impressions. And 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. A considerable amount of rubber; literally prepared for frontal collision with a wall ![]() ![]() The mode selector switch, well known from Ultra, here the 3-position one: off, low, high. 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). 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. ![]() Another 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. ![]() A 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. What does squeak inside ? 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. ![]() As 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 ![]() How does it glow ? Petzl Pixa 2 - high ![]() Petzl Pixa 2 - low ![]() Waterproof and also atex compatibile competition: Princeton Tec EOS 70 : Princeton Tec EOS 70 - (70 lumens - high) ![]() Waterproof competition only: Black Diamond Storm (100 lumens - high) ![]() Resume. For whom this head lamp is ? For a worker caring not to much for its equipment – in fact. For a cave lounger trying to break sometimes a rock with his or her head – why not though I was asked lately: “When a human being discovers a new well, chimney or a big hall, it would be nice to see what has been found” – so, a little bit too low of light. For cool-headed roaming along not too big holes, it should be sufficient: the 2-focus optics enables to gain a not too bad reach and, at the same time, illumination of this what there is under your legs. In general, for anyone who needs a resistant and waterproof headlight and doesn't intend to run with it, this is a nice piece of equipment; for the all rest, it is a little bit too heavy. |

Pixa3 более универсальная но 2я тоже очень ничего

Серж, а можешь попытаться сфотографировать плату, также как и у Доминика?
