In reply to UKC Gear:
Is there any actual info on burn times for the Tikka RXP? 10hrs "min" is really, really short compared to others on test, but there doesn't seem to any info in the article (or Petzl's website) on what type of burn times are achievable. Just that it can be customised and 10hrs is the minimum. 10 hrs wouldn't even manage a full weekends winter climbing / camping / bothying.
It makes it really hard to compare torches if there's no info on burn time. A shame as I quite like the idea of reactive lighting, but if burn life is that short.....
When testing the reactive lighting did you try it in rain / snow? A friend has a Nao and has found it can go a bit haywire in these conditions as it gets a lot of reflection from snow in particular. Similarly reflective clothing strips seemed to give it some trouble too. Wondering if the Tikka RXP is better? Easily over ridden by putting into manual mode for those occasions though.
Cheers!
